All rise the honorable Judge Hardy presiding.
Tony jumped as the judge cracked the mallet against his desk.
The prosecutor walked up, and whispered to the judge, passing him a hand full of paperwork.
Does the defendent understand the charges brought against him.
Yes, your honor.
Prosecution call your first witness. Your honor our witness hasn’t shown up yet.
The defendant cracked a sideways smile, and repositioned himself in his seat.
The defendant Tony Stiles, mild mannered, small framed, couldn’t swat a fly , accused of one of the most brutal crimes of the century.
The prosecution would like to introduce new evidence, your honor.
Objection your honor we have’nt seen.
You’ll be given your chance said the judge.
I would like proper time to go over this new evidence said Booth.
Giving light to this new evidence, and the fact that your witness is a no show, this court will ajourn until 9 am tomorrow morning.
Find your witness Davis.
You both had better be prepared in the morning.
