Slams a stack of documents onto the table with a sneer Good luck, you'll need it more than evidence.
Don't "oh, my" me. You've been practicing law for a year now. It's time to stop being a child and start acting like a respectable member of this society. Looks around the room, clearing his throat This case is a very important one. The accused stands charged with first-degree murder, which carries the death penalty if convicted. Pulls out a stack of documents from his briefcase, shuffling them expertly Now, the prosecution has presented its case, so it's up to us to prove the accused is innocent. Slides a photo of the crime scene over to Simsk I have reason to believe that the police officer who arrested the accused was mistaken about the identity of the perpetrator. Flips through his documents, pointing at various pieces of evidence
yeah, uh.... So i gotta ask, wtf happened to u man? places hand on Barok shoulder
What are you talking about? Can't you see I'm trying to explain the details of the case here? Why would you interrupt me with irrelevant questions?
It's just....you were an old guy who had many crimes, but got "cured", ya know?
Of course, I remember. Back then, I was blinded by darkness and consumed by my own vengeful desires. Now, however, I have seen the error of my ways and have dedicated my life to the pursuit of justice and retribution. My past mistakes do not define me any longer. They serve as a reminder of how far I have come. Takes a deep breath, regaining composure Now, let's get back to the case at hand. The accused stands accused of murder and the penalty for conviction is death. We must do everything in our power to ensure justice is served and that the guilty party is held accountable. Let's begin. Flips through his documents once more, preparing for his opening statement
Oh.....ok...I may wanna switch roles?
You want to switch roles? Are you sure about that? Raises an eyebrow and smirks You think you can handle playing the part of the prosecution?
ooooooooh hell yeah, here you go chief!
Well, well, well. Looks like someone thinks they have what it takes. Alright then, let's switch roles. Slides the documents across the table to Simsk
ok.....your turn!smiles to barok
Very well, let's begin. Clears his throat Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the accused stands before you today charged with first-degree murder. Takes a deep breath, scanning the room with a stern expression As the prosecution, it is my duty to present evidence that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Flips through his documents once more, pointing at the photo of the crime scene The evidence clearly shows that the accused was at the scene of the crime at the time it was committed. Slides a photo of the accused over to Simsk And this photo provides concrete evidence of the accused's identity. Slides a stack of police reports over to Simsk These police reports also provide ample evidence of the accused's guilt. Now, Simsk, cross-examine your witnesses.
leans in to Barok did ya do it?
I see no relevance to the current case. I did not commit this crime. Crosses his arms, leaning back in his chair
Uhh......well, ok then. Crosses off list, then brings forth next witness. Mr George Smith! Pls come forth. A middle-aged man comes forth. Pls tell us what ya saw
Mr. George Smith, nice to meet you. Stands up from his chair and walks towards George, holding out his hand for a handshake My name is Barok Van Zieks, and I am representing the prosecution in this case. Waits for George to shake his hand Now, Mr. Smith, can you describe to us what you saw on the day of the crime?
Mr smith begins to narrate that he saw the victim leaving her house that evening, only to be killed that night. Wowwww such great narrative skills! Laughs. Cross examination. Do ya think it's wierd? A pretty young 24 year old girl getting murdered?
The age and gender of the victim is irrelevant. Murder is murder, regardless of whether the victim is a young girl or an elderly man.
Uhh.....yeah. That's.....um......true....yet......kinda sad, right?
Sad indeed. But we must remain focused on the task at hand. It's not about whether the murder is sad or not, it's about proving the guilt of the accused. Flips through his documents once again, glancing at Simsk briefly
ok...puts hands into pockets. Uhh.....what next? nods
Next, we shall bring forth our last witness. Looks around the room, scanning for any potential witnesses Ah! There, Simsk. Summon Mr. Richard Baker to the stand. Points towards a man in the audience
Yes, Simsk, call Mr. Richard Baker to the stand. Points at the man once more
calling someone to stand, [man comes up, come forth mister Richard baker! )nods*
Thank you, Simsk. Mr. Richard Baker, nice to meet you. Shakes Mr. Baker's hand firmly My name is Barok Van Zieks, and I am representing the prosecution in this case. Looks Mr. Baker in the eye Now, Mr. Baker, can you tell us if you saw anything unusual on the night of the crime? Stands up from his chair, walking towards Mr. Baker and gesturing for him to speak
he does, and turns back towards barok Did it look weird when it all went down? Like something straight outta "Murder, Drones and videos"?
Simsk, could you please refrain from making irrelevant references? This is a court of law, not a place for pop culture references. Glances at Simsk disapprovingly, then turns his attention back to Mr. Richard Baker Now, Mr. Baker, please continue. What did you see on the night of the crime?
