The Trial Begins

Takano's POV

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" I slammed my hand on the alarm clock and tried to go back to sleep. Notice the emphasis on tried. As soon as I closed my eyes there was loud knocking on my door and Yokozawa came in. "Did you plan on sleeping through the trial Masamune?"

I groaned and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes getting up. "It's finally here isn't it." I said heavily. I then felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into Yokozawa's eyes as he said "Hey after this trial then this whole thing will be behind you....behind both of you" I saw his eyes look over me and I turned my head to onto Ritsu comatosed self. "You're right...the headache with her will finally end and we'll be free." Yokozawa patted my back. "That's the spirit now get ready" I nodded and took a shower before putting on my suit. I was about to walk out when I was pulled back slightly and Yokozawa was suddenly in front of me. "You can't be sloppy in court." I was confused until he fixed my tie. "Thanks" I said and when the tie was fixed I was about to go but my old friend stopped me "Be strong I know recalling what happened will be hard for you" I stayed silent for a moment before replying "Don't worry I won't break from this" I smiled. "Alright" Yokozawa squeezed my shoulder before letting go. With that I left with one glance at Ritsu.

Murakawa Court

May 29 2016

Time 1:00 p.m.

Judge on duty: Judge Nori

"We are here today to for the trial of An Konhinata's execution as punishment for the murder of John Kingsfoil, Aichi Sawato and Norman Lake as well as assault and attempted murder of Ritsu Onodera and Masamune Takano. Judge Nori spoke.

"How does Ms. Konhinata plea?"

"She wishes to plea innocent due to insanity"

"Please present the evidence." The judge then ordered.

The prosecutor Mr. Izaya Walked up to the Jury and handed them photos of the three dead men. "As you can see each of the three men were all once married to Ms. Kohinata. Each husband wrote a will leaving everything to her." He presented the will. "And the accidents where they all die happened the next day after the will was made." The jury passed the photos amongst each other. "The next piece of evidence is the weapon used in the assault and attempted murder of Ritsu Onodera and Masamune Takano. The blood on the weapon belongs to both Mr. Onodera and Mr. Takano. The prints on the weapon belong to Ms. Kohinata and was confirmed through DNA testing. Now to begin with the evidence of the murder of John Kingsfoil. He apparently died after a fall off a ledge in the Saki penthouse in Sapporo because he was drunk. Only now a witness has come forth to testify what happened. I present Mrs. Akemi Tensho." Mr. Izaya then sat down.

An old lady came to the stand. Her face was wrinkled with age and her hair was white.

"You may now begin question Mr. Mamoru" the judge announced.

Mr. Mamoru stood up and approached her.

"Mrs. Tensho you were there the day when John Kingsfoil was murdered?" He drawled out.

"Yes I was" she said with confidence

"Then please tell the jury what it was you saw" Mr. Mamoru said motioning the jury.

Mrs. Tensho closed her eyes recalling what she saw. "I saw Mr. Kingsfoil stumble out of the penthouse clearly drunk. A women came out and I assumed it was his wife. She began to kiss him before pushing him off the ledge."

"Mrs. Tensho what were you doing before you witnessed the so called murder?"

"I was watching the rain"

"According to the reports the day the victim fell storms were rampaging in the city and it was hard to see. So how can you be sure you saw what happened? Debris and dust was flying around so you can't be sure can you?" It was a figurative question because he then said "I'm done" and went to sit down.

"Cross examination." the prosecutor called and the judge granted.

Mr. Izaya walked to the witness stand and began.

"I will go again into what Mr. Mamoru asked. How do you that you saw Ms. Konhinata push Mr. Kingsfoil off the ledge during such a heavy storm?"

The defendent looked more confudent this time finay being allowed to respond "This happned when the storm died down and it was just rain.

Mr. Mamoru placed his hands on the pedestal and leaned to her face "If you saw this happen then why did you not testify what you saw?"

"Because I was threatened" She said her voice shaky

"By who?" he demanded

"That women Ann Kohinata....I was frozen on the spot and she looked up....she saw me..and she knew I saw her. She approached me....and I begged mercy and she told me as long as I didn't tell anyone she wouldn't kill me" She was shaking.

"And you believed her? Even though it was obvious that she could have murdered you right there?" He slammed his fist on the table harder than he meant causing her to jump.

"Objection of intimidation and personal aggravation." the defendent exclaimed.

"Sustained" The judge hit his javel on the stand. "Mr.Mamoru please proceed and a calmer manner"

"I am sorry that was not my attention" he then turned back to the witness and said "I will ask again You believed her even though

The could have killed you once your back was turned?"

"I-I was scared. I had to hope that she was telling the truth because I thought why would she ask me to keep it a secret instead of killing me then...so i took it."

"And you didn't come to the police right afterwards?"

"I was scared that she would find out and hunt me down if I reported her" she was shaking in tears.

"No further questioning"

He went and sat down.

"Bring in the next witness" tbe judge called.

Just then the Mr. Izaua's counsler came in and whispered to him something.

Mr. Izaya then stood up. "We have been informed that the next witness recently died of a heart attack and the next one has refused to testify. We will go on with the next witness. Mr. Takano Masamune.
