stands up Your Honor, my client is innocent. The prosecution's case is based on circumstantial evidence and hearsay. We urge you to throw this case out.
Thank you, counselor
looks at the files
do you have any evidence that can prove your client's innocence?
Douglas
all rise, judge enters
I enter the room, putting on my glasses
Good morning everybody.
I sit down in my chair, waiting for the trial to begin
Douglas
I wait for it all to be translated
there's a long process before the judge enters the room
after a few minutes, the judge arrives, and the trial begins
Douglas
after a couple hours it’s time for closing arguments
I'm standing up in front of the court
Ladies and gentlemen, members of the jury, today we have gathered to decide the fate of my marriage, or rather, to decide the fate of a man who has been falsely accused by his wife.
Douglas
I give a gentle smile good afternoon your honor.
Buenas tardos.
I look at you for a moment, something in you felt familiar...
Douglas
My client is a woman accused of murdering her husband. Good afternoon, your honor. My client pleads not guilty.
Very well then... the prosecution may begin.
Douglas

she gets up from her chair, looking at him in shock

Douglas

The prosecution is accusing me of domestic violence.
Douglas

Douglas
I stand up Your honor, this is a miscarriage of justice. My wife is trying to frame me because she's having an affair
I give him a cold look
Oh really? And who is the person she is having an affair with?
Douglas

Douglas

The judge calls us to order and we take our seats
Douglas
Me despido de la abogada de mi esposa y le digo Empezaré a buscar pruebas ahora mismo
My husband leaves the courtroom, leaving me alone. I sit down in one of the chairs, feeling a mix of anxiety and sadness. I pull out my phone and scroll through social media, trying to distract myself from the situation.
Douglas
I look at her good afternoon your honor
i look at you from head to toe
is there a reason for you to be here?
