Brockton Bay Courthouse
May 3rd 2011.
Thomas Calvert was sitting at the defense table.
"Let's get this court into session. The time 11:50 May the third, the case of Hebert Vs PRT & Protectorate. Now the first order of business, where is Director Emily Piggot?"
"She had a medical emergency and is currently in the hospital. Deputy director Renick and I will be sitting in until she is medically able to do so again." Calvert explains
"Alright, that is acceptable for now. Shall we start with the Plaintiff?"
=============================
Meanwhile at a coffee shop on the boardwalk.
"I can not believe that plan actually worked," Sarah says
"Well, at least they'll discover she was being poisoned once Amy gets to her in a week's time," Georgia says
"Are you certain Saul said this was a good idea?" Sarah asks
"Yep, we submitted the evidence we have on Thomas Calvert as evidence of PRT corruption last week and no one's the wiser. With any luck we call the bastard to the stand then make a fool out of all of them." Georgia says slipping Sarah a manila folder
Sarah giggles ecstatically.
"You will see why Mr Goodman has several nicknames among which are Slippin Jimmy, Charlie Hustle, and A Criminal lawyer." Georgia says with a smile.
" I need to sit down with him, maybe we can make some great plans," Sarah says with a smile.
"I mean he's the equivalent of a precision Sledgehammer. " Georgia says with a smile.
"Then since my powers have told me that most of the current sitting judges all have a bias against parahumans. Due to an Illuminati type organization, this ought to be a legal slaughter." Sarah says with a smile.
=======================
Principal Blackwell was on the stand and prison orange suited her rather well.
"So, Miss Blackwell, as part of your plea deal. You are required to testify, anything you lie or purposely obscure the truth on any of these questions could see your sentence extended." Saul asks
"Objection Your honor, the witness is already aware of the plea deal she had made not even a week ago." Dickson says
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"What was the point of that Mr Goodman?" Judge Lawson asks
"Of course your honor, this is just so that the Jury can understand that everything Miss Blackwell says is the truth as she knows it and if we manage to prove otherwise then her sentence may get worse." Saul Goodman says, staring down Blackwell.
"Yes, that is part of my plea deal." Blackwell answers
"Former Principal Blackwell, were you aware that your student Taylor Hebert was being physically assaulted and tortured regularly by a WARD?" Saul Goodman asks
"… Yes. I was aware that such a thing was happening." Blackwell says into the microphone
"And you were asked to cover such things up by Shadow Stalkers' handler actively?" Goodman asks
"No, although it was heavily implied," Blackwell says
"Would you be willing to state for the record that they intimidated you into covering up the ward's crimes?" Goodman asks
"That ladies and gentlemen is what I hope to show you all, what we hope to prove to you all, again and again, is that. This type of behavior has become routine within the PRT is scare tactics and intimidation. Over this trial, we hope to show that the PRT is as bad, if not worse than a gang. HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR WHILE USING THE GOVERNMENT AS A SHIELD! Making all of us pay for it." Saul Goodman says
"Mr Goodman," Lawson says, staring down the lawyer.
"I am so very sorry, your honor, I just can't help but sometimes get emotional," Goodman explains
"Very well, though no more outbursts like that Mr. Goodman. This is your one and only warning." Lawson says
The PRT Lawyer gets up rather weakly trying to comprehend how one could even follow a show like that.
"Miss Blackwell, we would like you to confirm that, when you were briefed about Shadow Stalker attending your school. That you were made aware of her status as a Probationary ward." Dickson asks
"No, I was not informed of such a thing. This would actually be my first time hearing about it." Blackwell says
