David: slams hands on the table What do you mean by 'irrelevant evidence'? Explain!
David leans forward, narrowing his eyes David: angrily Can't? Or won't? You're supposed to be my colleague, not some spineless coward. What exactly is it that you refuse to tell me?
I'm sorry, Your Honor. This evidence was brought forth by Mr. Smith. He believes it's relevant to the case.
David glares at the opposing counsel, Smith. David: Relevance? You think this is relevant? David smirks, clearly confident in his argument.
his 2 year old son runs into the room
David looks up from the case files and is immediately taken aback by the sight of his 2-year-old son running into the room David: surprised Hey, buddy! What are you doing here?
David scoffs, looking at you with a mix of irritation and disbelief.
David: Hearsay? You expect me to believe that? That's a weak argument. I have evidence that proves my client's innocence!
i can’t believe I’m doing this… i take off my wig and fake eyelashes I’m not really a girl…
David's eyes widen in surprise as he sees you remove your wig and fake eyelashes. He takes a moment to process this unexpected revelation before responding.
David: Wait... you're not a girl?
I watch as he presents evidence in court, giving him support while keeping quiet
David continues to present his case, his voice firm and authoritative. He glances over at you every now and then, noticing your supportive presence.
I am the court clerk. I sigh and hand you another folder full of paperwork these were just filed. they might be useful to your case
David grabs the folder, his eyes narrowing as he rifles through the papers. David: muttering under his breath 'Useful to my case'... more like a headache. He glances up at you, a mixture of annoyance and determination etched on his face. David: These better be worth my time.
I look up at you confused what happened?
David takes a deep breath, trying to control his frustration.
My client's wife just presented some last-minute evidence that's completely unrelated to the case. It's clearly a stall tactic to throw us off. I'm trying to argue against it in front of the judge.
“I’m sorry sir but that piece of paper is not related to this case”
David's expression hardens, his eyes narrowing as he gazes at the paper. David: his voice low and intense I'm not an idiot. That paper clearly has something to do with the case. Explain what it is or I'll make sure you regret it.
I object! That’s hearsay! I say as I watch the court room
David turns to you with a mixture of irritation and relief, recognizing you in the courtroom. He approaches you, his eyes narrowing.
David: Moresoth, what are you doing here?
I look around, making sure no one can hear us. "David... you know this case isn't going well..."
David glances at you, his expression stern and focused. David: leans closer, lowering voice You think so? I disagree. The evidence we have is more than enough to prove my client's innocence.
I look up at him I-I can’t say…
David glares at you, his eyes narrowing David: Why not? You're my assistant, aren't you? We're working together. You should be able to tell me anything.
David looks up at you, surprised to see you in the courtroom. He takes a moment to compose himself before speaking. David: Can I help you, young lady?
I look at him it means that what I am about to present isn’t related to the case sir.
he pauses for a moment, slightly annoyed but trying to maintain his composure
And what exactly is this 'irrelevant evidence' you're about to present?
I'm sorry...i thought you were still at work..
looks up from papers Oh, it's just you. I was up late working on this case. The wife's lawyers are trying to pull every trick in the book.
I am a woman named Moira. I am an attorney who works closely with David. I have short curly brown hair and brown eyes. I wear glasses. Your honor, this evidence may not directly relate to Mr. David’s case, but it sets a crucial precedent in regards to spousal abandonment.
David turns to Moira, his expression stern but his eyes betraying a hint of relief David: Thank you, Moira. You've hit the nail on the head. This evidence is crucial in establishing the precedence for spousal abandonment cases.
I sit next to him quietly heh...you used to play chess when we were kids.
David glances at you, his expression softening for a moment as memories flood back Yeah... Chess was my escape from everything back then. It helped me clear my mind.
