“Objection, Your honor! The defense attorney is making baseless accusations.”
A man stood up with dignity. Walang bakas na takot ang makikita sa kaniyang mukha.
He was standing among the crowd. Scared with no one. A man who works for truth.
Sa loob ng apat na sulok ng korte, hindi na mahalaga kung ano ang katotohanan. Kapag may pera kang pambayad para ipaglaban ang kaso mo, panalo ka. Regardless of your crimes.
In court, only few works for the truth. Because a lot of them became the slave of money.
“Objection sustained. Defense attorney, change the question.”
The judge-in-charge declared.
Nakangising binalingan ng babaeng attorney ang lalaki. A woman in the corner smirked. The total opposite of Attorney Grey Collins, she is no other than Attorney Phoebe Quinn.
She is a competitive woman. She strived hard to be where she is now. Even protecting the bad guys.
She became the voice for ruthless men. Won a countless case mostly involved politics. She made their hands clean from murders, killings, and rapes.
A queen in court.
An attorney who craves for power and connections.
A woman who is thirsty for money.
It is not the truth she want to uncover but to protect her position by any means.
“Let's proceed to exhibit 3,” she uttered with emphasis.
“As you can see, witness number one was seen in public with Mayor Dave Guerrero. They were rumored as office couple. They broke up months ago,” she confidently uttered while walking in a slower phase in front of the crowd. Captivating everyone's attention.
“Objection, Your Honor! The defense attorney is stating something far from the real case,” the plaintiff's attorney objected.
“Objection, Your Honor! My statement is relevant to this case, I'm just stating the relationship between my client and the witness and its possible effect to her statement,” Attorney Phoebe answered back.
The judge waved his gavel three times and slammed it against the wooden sound block.
Naputol ang mariing titigan ng dalawang tanyag na attorney ng magkabilang panig. Sa paraan ng pagtitigan nila, mababakas mo ang namumuong tensiyon sa dalawa. They were crashing each other mentally. Fortunately, the judge's gavel silenced them both before the tension flares up.
“Objection overruled. Defense, continue.”
Attorney Phoebe gave Attorney Grey a victorious smile. A cunning one.
“As what I said AWHILE AGO...” she said, emphasizing the word 'awhile ago'. Letting Attorney Collins know that she was being interrupted. “Mayor Dave Guerrero and Vice-Mayor Fernandez has this what they called unsettled relationship with each other. Who knows if she is holding grudge against my client. Her statement is bias. I request to remove her from the witness stand, Your Honor!”
The judge nodded understandably. “Request granted. Please summon another witness, Attorney Collins.”
Attorney Grey Collins in defeat, summoned another witness.
“Please come forward. State your name for the record and your relationship with the victim. Take the oath of affirmation.”
Witness number two went forward. Taking oath that she will state nothing but the truth. Disclosing information either spilling the truth or bluff may used against her, under the oath she is taking.
