"Mrs. Gibbs is right Mr. Johnston, we all know why we are here. Move on."

"Sorry Your Honor. Ms. Enclave how well did you know your brother in-law? Marcus Howard?"

"Well enough to know that he beat my sister and my nephew."

"And you knew this how?"

"Umm, I'm not blind. and make-up can't hide a broken arm, or a busted jaw. And the last time I checked two year old boys don't pee their pants every time their father walks in the room."

"Yes bu-"

"Objection! Ms. Enclave is 16 and last time I checked not a doctor."

"Sorry Your  Honor. Ms. Enclave could your sisters injuries have been explained by anything else?"
