Practice: An August Alsina X Miracle Watts Love Story {ON HOLD}

f o u r| 'Testify'

August Anthony Alsina

"All rise!" The bailiff said as everybody in the courtroom stood up.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, calling the case of the People of the state of New Orleans versus Mr. August Anthony Alsina. Are both sides ready to begin?" The judge asked and we all nodded.

"Ready for the people your honor." My lawyer said

"Ready for the defense your honor." Princess' lawyer said. After the jury had sworn to be fair and all, they all sat down and my deputy attorney rose.

"Opening statements please." The judge said looking towards my attorney.

"Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury; the defendant has been charged with the rape and domestic violence against my client; Mrs Alsina. The given evidence will show that my client was beaten ruthlessly by her left eye as shown in upcoming pictures. On the same day, the defendant raped Mrs Alsina obviously against her will and my client was also forced out of their home with nothing but one bag. Again on the same day, she went straight to the police station with her cuts and bruises obvious. The evidence I will show you today will prove that the defendant is guilty as charged of both charges."

Princess' lawyer then sat down as mine got up to say our opening statement. I couldn't believe Princess is trying to accuse me of raping her.

"Your honor and members of the jury; under the law my client is presumed innocent until proven guilty. You will come to the truth through much evidence that my client did hit Mrs Alsina but did not at all come close to raping her; neither did he have any intention to. Therefore; my client is not guilty on the charge of rape."

"Defence, call your first witness." My lawyer stood up immediately.

"We are calling Joan Smalls to the witness stand." He said as jo came out and sat on the seat inside the witness box. My lawyer then got up and stood to begin questioning Jo.

"Mr Smalls, you were caught at the scene of the alleged crime at the exact time correct?" My lawyer asked and he nodded.

"Yes, I was there." Jo said.

"And what were you doing there Mr Smalls?" My lawyer asked.

"I was dropping August home. His car had gone missing and he came over to my house all distraught so I dropped him home." He said and my lawyer nodded.

"Now, was Mr Alsina intoxicated for any of the time you were together?"

"Yes he was, whilst in the back of my cad. But that shouldn't add a problem because he wasn't the driver." Jo said.

"Mr Smalls, what was Mr Alsina intoxicated by?" Princess' lawyer stood up immediately to ask.

"Alcohol and from what I'd seen, he only had a small partake of one bottle." Jo said and I nodded. I love the fact that he was hiding me because if they found out I was high, that would just add even more problems.

"Had Mr Alsina been smoking anything whilst in the limo or even before that?" Princess' lawyer asked.

"Objection, your honor!" My lawyer called.

"Overruled. Mr Small, answer the question." The judge said as my lawyer sighed.

"I was with Mr Alsina throughout his whole journey and I know for a fact that he had not smoked anything." Jo said; he sure is a damn good liar. The judge nodded and told Princess' lawyer to sit back down.

"Anyways, Mr Smalls. What happened right after you and Mr Alsina walked into the house?"

"August walked in and I went back out to get the rest of his bags. When I came back in, August was on the couch and Mrs Alsina had run upstairs. I walked into the kitchen because I normally sit in there to wait for traffic to die down and look through his fridge for food. But then I heard some smashing of glass coming from the backyard. So I ran out and saw what I think was a few of Augusts glass possessions smashed on the marble floor by the pool. And Mrs Alsina was up on the balcony getting ready to throw more of Augusts things down. So I ran back inside and saw August running upstairs. I didn't want to intervene in case it was a private marriage issues so I stayed downstairs but I could hear shouting coming from both people. Within a few minutes Mrs Alsina had ran back down with a suitcase and she was fully clothed and she ran out the house." Jo said.
