The next day, at the appointed time, the court sat again and Jason Campbell was asked to take the stand and he answered the questions to the best if his ability after he had taken the oath.His lawyer had asked him not to display any unwarranted emotion and apart from the anger seen in his eyes, his voice was devoid of emotion until it got to the stage of Nancy calling out to the police to help him which led to her head injury and why she had Amnesia.Mean we hike because of the events at the hospital, his lawyer had advised them to take drastic measures and Rodney, when he was called, though still seething from the row he had had with his wife in the car, had remembered that Phoebe had always been of help to him, not because she was his f as n but because of her selfish purposes.He told the lawyer of her and the lawyer in turn spoke to Phoebe and they both came up with a plan.After Jason's testimony, Alfred was called to the stand and his testimony almost in line with that of Jason
'I am sorry your Honour', but this doctor is lying', Jason said loudly and there was an uproar in court.'Excuse me, Mr. will you tell me now how to do my job or would you want me to hand it over to you so that you could try doing it?'There was laughter all round a d the judge was angry and hit his mantel.'Quiet! he said and everywhere became still.'And Mr. Campbell, if you do not comport yourself, I shall charge you with contempt of court. Now be seated and let's do the business for which we are here and I shall entertain no more interruptions from you'.'But your Honour'....''Sit down or leave this instance!' he yelled.Jason had no option but to sit. It was better for him to be in court and see what happens next than being outside. The suspense would kill him.Nancy was asked to take the oath which she did.'Can you introduce yourself to us Miss?'the lawyer started.'I am Nancy Jones and work in the Campbell's Enterprises as Mr. Campbell's personal secretary'.'Could it be sai
While they were still talking, the defence attorney walked by, 'I hope you are going to round off your case now because it is finished. The sympathy of the jury is with Richmond and your star witness has made it impossible for you to do anything further that could influence their decision.Just accept defeat and be done with it and let's save each other's time and the time if the state as well'.Hoberman looked at him with pity but refused to dignify what he had said with a response and when the already furious Jason would have reacted, he held him back, shaking his head against any violent action he might take out on the attorney.The attorney laughed and walked on with a smiling Richmond in tow.'This is what happens in court houses. You do not have to allow yourself to swallow their bait', Hoberman advised Jason. 'This is aimed at lowering the person's confidence and lead the person into making some form of mistakes that will cost the person dearly.Have you thought how this would af
The Judge who had thought that he was going to end the case that day by giving his verdict knew that the case was not over, not by a long shot because of the new angle that had been introduced. The hospital angle.He wondered why this was not brought out before. He had thought that it was just the shooting at the lodge but now that something similar seemed to have happened at the hospital, it lends a whole new perspective to the case.was already late and he had something to do so the case was adjourned to two days after that day.While Chris had been giving his testimony, Nancy who had been listening had screamed.'People around had looked at her in a funny way as she held on to her head.Rodney had gone to find out what the problem was and Nancy had told him that it was headaches.'I have them when I think too much and they are really very severe'.Thank goodness, Chris' testimony ended soon after that and they had to go home. They took Nancy home themselves asking her not to respon
When they got home, they found that Nancy was already there. Jason had to hold his rage. It was not Nancy's fault after all but there was someone he wanted to vent. all his anger on and that was Phoebe. She was the only one who could have committed this atrocity. He couldn't believe that he had found her attractive enough to have had an affair no matter what kind with her but it had been because of the circumstance at the time but even then, he had known that he didn't want permanence with her. But for her to be this heartless?He needed to find out from Mrs. Potts why she allowed Nancy out of her sight in the first place or allowed her to go out despite his. instructions.'Mrs. Potts!''Mr. Campbell Sir, I know what you want to ask me. Nancy told me that she wanted to take a stroll and that I need not come with her but stay and watch the house and that she would be back in a jiffy. I was skeptical but she insisted and since I wanted to gain her trust and one of the ways was to show
It was with shocked amazement that they looked on as the defence attorney called Phoebe to the witness box.She took her oath.'Can you tell us what your name is?''I am Phoebe Walkman'.'What do you do for a living?''I own a store where I sell designer clothes'.'We hat is your clientele like?''They are women from the upper class in the society'.'You mean you don't sell used clothes or clothes for the middle or lower classes?'There was laughter in the courtroom.'I do not have anything against the classes you've mentioned but I sell for the upper class, though if they can afford the clothes, why not? I'd sell to them as well'.'That's okay. We want to know what your relationship with Jason Campbell is like'.'We are friends. I thought very good friends'.'What do you mean 'I thought'?''Well, he has been hauling accusations at me that are not warranted. It would seem that he is frustrated or something with the way the case is going but why take it out on me?''What kind of accusa
Dr. Parker Ratfield was called to the witness stand by Hoberman and he attested to the fact the he was Mr.Ratfield and that he was not in thee hospital that day but overseas.'I was told though of the scene of a huge man having my lab coat on and trying to take the lives of the patients at the hospital. We have increased security since then. I was glad though when they told me that he had been apprehended'.They did not feel it was ideal asking him further questions.Hoberman was called the hospital staffs that were present one after the other to give their testimonies.'This large man you talked about, is he anywhere in court today?'After looking around, they all pointed to Maze where he was sitting beside Rodney.'Thank you no more questions. Your witness' Mr. Cobberson. Cobberson asked a few questions that led no where and the staff were asked to leave the box.'After the first attempt on their lives failed', Hoberman started in summary of his briefing. 'Jason Campbell decided to
Jason could not believe what he was hearing. He had thought that he would have to wait for about a year or so before Nancy would regain her memory' but in trying to make him look bad, his detractors had made short his wait for her to regain her memory.The judge excused her.'Is there a way we could get Dr. Pork Farmer to court?'As luck would have it, he was in court already. His conscience would not allow h rest coupled with his anxiety concerning her daughter. He had heard one of the lawyers say something about protection and he wanted the same offered him and his family.Dr. Farmer therefore stood up.Walked to the witness box and said. 'I do not know what to do but if you want my real testimony, I have my conditions '.Cobberson and Richmond who were trying to catch his eye and give him threatening looks to stop him from saying anything that could implicate them failed be ause he intentionally did not look their way. He did not want anything to distract him.'What are your condit
