Yawning, Y/N stood up from her desk and stretches before seeing Jake come into the office in a rush.
"Late again, Sim?"
He chuckled before placing some documents down on her desk and sighs.
"Sorry, I was up all night double checking these verdicts for the trial. They seem fine, and the evidence list is also somewhere in there."
"That's good...what about the witnesses? Do they understand the rules of the court, we don't want them committing perjury." Y/N replied while starting to put the robes on and glances at him.
"Yes, yes. One of them testified for another case before according to their file, so it's fine don't stress." he said before yawning tiredly.
"Don't tell me you didn't have a wink of sleep last night, you look dead."
"Not even a minute of sleep. Now let's go, the trial is starting in 30 minutes." he said while checking his watch.

"Prosecutor Kim, you may begin to cross-examine the defendant."
"Yes, your honour." Y/N says before standing up and goes over to the witness stand.
"Kim Seongkyu, on the morning of the 6th March between 8:10am and 8:30am, could you explain what you were doing?"
Mr Kim sighs before replying:
"I was on my way to work after dropping my son off at college."
"However, you got into a hit-and-run and caused the murder of Mr Park Daeseong? You do realise that you could be imprisoned for five years if you are to be found guilty?" Y/N interrogated before turning to the screen with the CCTV footage.
"Your honour, in the footage, you can see that Mr Kim seemed to be in a rush before hitting Park Daeseong at 8:30am that morning. But he then just sped off without checking for any injuries-"
"It was involuntary! I needed money to pay off my-" Mr Kim exclaimed before getting interrupted.
"No talking unless asked, defendant." the judge said before looking at Y/N.
"You may continue."
Y/N sighs before glancing over at Jake and then back at Mr Kim.
"It shows in your medical records that you were guilty of drunk driving two years ago Mr Kim. Was that also unintentional?"
"Objection your honour! She's misleading the defendant." Jake said before staring at Mr Kim and then at Y/N before sitting back down in his seat.
"Prosecutor Kim, please refrain from misleading the case." the judge said.
"Yes your honour." Y/N replied before turning back to Mr Kim.
"So, Mr Kim, you are claiming to be innocent, but did anyone coerce you into doing the hit-and-run for money? Does this person have any connections with you?"
"Why would I do it on my own behalf-"
"Only answer with a yes or no, Mr Kim." Y/N retorts at him.
He grunts before answering,
"Yes, but I needed money! I was told that I would get money to pay off my debt if I did the hit-and-run and he said that he would definitely pay me-"
"'He'? You also mentioned this 'he' person during your interrogation. Could you tell us who it is?"
Mr Kim just stayed quiet, before sipping on some water and clears his throat.
"No more questions, your honour." she stated before going back to her seat, the tension in the air getting heavier with each passing minute.
"We will take a short 25-minute break." the judge said before standing up and leaves the courtroom.
