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
Phoebe was still turning these thoughts in her mind as she passed by those who were congratulating themselves on winning the case Jason did not even mind that they were in the sight of everyone including the press, he kept kissing Nancy, carrying her as though he wanted to eat her up.This made Phoebe so jealous that she hurried yo pass them and be gone to her house.'Phoebe!' a voice called. She was shocked. She could recognize that voice any where.'You have lost. And from the looks of it, your Romeo is not even here to support you. What did you do to him. Did you drive him away with your evil behaviour?'He looked round and saw people looking at him wondering who he was.'I was her very first boyfriend and live in lover but her greed made her start sleeping with her boss and when I confronted her later, she said she was doing it for me because I didn't have a job at the time.This caused alot of problem and she had to relocate to this place because her boss' wife threatened to mak
Nancy knew that if she did not invite Jason to her bed, he was not going to come. He was that disciplined but she had missed him terribly.She could also see how his eyes darken with desire when he looked at her - at her budding breasts which were now fuller due to her pregnancy.At such times, Her breasts ached for his touch. The touch of his hands and mouth on them and she would feel the heat of desire spreading through her.That night after seeing that she was safe in bed, Nancy drew him back to her as he was about to leave after kissing her goodnight.'What is it Nancy?' asked a surprise Jason. Her action had taken him by surprise and he did not at once read the meaning behind her actions.'Stay with me tonight!' she asked.'Why? Are you scared or something?' he asked not wanting to get his hopes up by thinking that she meant what his brain was screaming to him that she meant.'I want you to lie here beside me on the bed. It will make me feel more comfortable'. she said as she sto
