Chasidy's pov
"Jury we are are gathered here today to determine the verdict of defendant Hoseok Jung. How do you pled to first degree murder and trespassing?"
"Not guilty to first degree murder and not guilty to trespassing your honor." Chasidy stated.
"Ms. Johnson may have the floor so you may proceed."
"Thank you your honor. My client Mr. Jung was arrested June 15th. Today is August 20th your honor. He has been held far past the days he should've without access to a lawyer to speak on his behalf."
"We know he did the crime your honor. The gun is registered in his name. And the bullets from the victim matches his gun"
The plaintiff has this smug look on his face but I'll fix that for him in a second. I opened my folder and pulled out my paperwork. I walk it up to the judge without a word.
"Ms.Johnson what am I looking at here?"
"What you are looking at your honor is Mr. Jung's license to carry and of course his gun registration. But that is beside the point. My question is how can Mr. Jung trespass on his own property?"
The judge raised an eyebrow at the plaintiff who looked white as a ghost. And not because he was already as pasty as a powdered doughnut. But I digress.
"If you turn the the third page of evidence file I provided you will see that the defendants name is on the deed also that-"
I get interrupted by the plaintiff trying to plead his case. And I don't know what is more annoying at this point. The fact that the plaintiff wasn't hiding his obvious dislike towards Hoseok. Or that none of this evidence I acquired in 2 hours hasn't been brought up over the 2 months Hoseok has been put up for.
"With all due respect Ms.Johnson is your information falsified?The resident of the home is Jae-Eun Kim.
"Objection. Speculation."
"Sustained. Mr.Shaw The next time you make any accusation against Ms.Johnson I need your evidence before you open your mouth. Understood?
I knew I liked this judge. She doesn't tolerate bullshit. And neither do I.
"Y-yes your honor. My apologies."
"As I was saying the paper after states that the resident of the home Jae-Eun Kim is the Defendants grandmother. In the papers you'll also see that the defendant is the caregiver of Mrs.Kim and he takes care of all her finances."
"Mr.Jung can I have your story on what happened the day of your arrest?"
Hobi stood up and squared his shoulders. He looked hesitant for some reason but with a sigh he began to speak. And the first thing outta his mouth makes me want to smack the back of his big head.
"Ight judge. First I would like to say this before I start. The whole thing gave me set up vibes from jump."
Oh lord. If I could I'd bang my head on the table in front of me. If this man starts talking like King Von did in crazy story I'm gonna scream.
Hoseok's pov.
-flashback-
Every day around 6 o'clock I like to check in on my grandma. I call her or I pop up whenever I can to see if she needs anything. On this particular night I just felt the urge to see her so I called her up so she knew I was coming. But she didn't pick up.
It's not like her to not pick up the phone. Don't get me wrong my grandmother isn't disabled or anything just old. But she never misses my calls because she knows how paranoid I get. Plus I pay her damn phone bill.
While I am in route to her house I called my sister. If I haven't talked to my grandma I know she would've at some point of the day.
"Aye you talked to halmeoni today?"
"Hello to you too. And yeah I dropped your nephew off earlier. He misses you by the way." She always got a damn attitude and got something smart to say.
"Look I'm on the way there. Meet me there because she not answering. And I think you would wanna know if your kid is alright. So be on your way." I hang up the phone and speed up because something just doesn't feel right.
I pulled up to the back of the house through the alley and I noticed all the lights were off. It's only 7 o'clock so that shit is weird and I know for sure something is wrong. So I hop out and make sure I have my gun on me. Going up to the door I used my key to get in and I heard whispering along with footsteps crunching under glass.
"Are you sure this is Jay's grandma crib? Ion think it's anything in this bitch worth taking."
"Nah I'm sure. And I'm not leaving empty handed so let's check up stairs."
Before they can make it to the steps I intercept. I scratch my temple with the gun contemplating if I'm really going through this right now. You would think that people would try their mama before thinking about trying me. But I guess we all can't be bright individuals.
"Listen I'll give you 10 no 5 seconds to get the fuck out the way you came. Or I'll be the only one leaving this bitch alive and not in a body bag."
They glanced at each other as they were thinking about their next move. They better be smart.
"1..2"
"Rico I'm not tryna die bro c'mon" He started to back up towards the window they smashed to get in here.
"...3, y'all might wanna hurry up and decide what is the next move because I already know what I'm about to do." I cocked my beretta after taking off the safety.
"Uncle Seok? Is that you."
I turned my head to make sure my nephew wasn't coming and one of them decided to tackle me while the other left his friend. But I held my gun tight. I wrestled with them for a minute before I finally get my arm free to wack him. I see that it's Rico holding his head looking dumb as fuck.
"Are you okay down there Seok?" My granny says as she descended the stairs. I see Rico pull his gun and aim at the steps but before he can get a single shot off I put three holes in his chest.
My ears are ringing from the gunshots and my heart is racing. I hear distant sirens right before my sister bursts through the front door.
"Where is my baby? Hoseok where's Minjoon?" She's panicked with wide eyes. She must've heard the gunshots.
"He good. He's upstairs Maé." She took off without a word shooting past our grandmother in the process. She gets to the last step but she doesn't come down.
"You know they're going to try and keep you for this Seok. You know our families reputation." She states. And I know exactly what she's talking about without her saying it.
"I know halmeoni. But I would do it again if it means protecting y'all."

Lol I can imagine the rap line singing crazy story.☠️ I had to split the court hearing into two parts because I didn't want it to be too long. And I kept having brain farts while writing lately. Even though I pre write what I want the chapter to be about I get stuck when coming up with the details. I'll try harder though. Love y'all 💜💜💜💜👋🏾
