I smoothed down the crease of my blazer, folding the sleeves until below my elbow. I stared at my reflection on the mirror and fixed my hair a bit. When I finally decided that I'm good to go after a few touch ups, I started grabbing my things and folders. I'm about to leave, but I took a last glance at my whole office, then it stopped on the name plate placed in the middle of my wooden table.
Riley Heart R. Guinevere Attorney at Law
I fought so many battles for this.
Even just a year is such a long time. I gave him exactly a year to ask for forgiveness and he really did asked for it during my oath taking, but did I forgive him?
No.
Forgiveness means letting go, and I don't let the wrongfulness of a crime go.
He shouldn't just say sorry. He must pay his debt to society and purge his blood-guilt, face his charges then rot in jail.
I stay true to my words. I will put him in jail.
"Please rise. The Court of the Second Judicial Circuit, Criminal Division, is now in session, theHonorable Judge Yuseco Atlana presiding." Bailiff ordered.
Today is the day of the trial.
This is my first trial as a lawyer who works under Guinevere's law firm. That's why I'm with Greno's father today, both of us will represent Jahiem's case. As soon as I graduated from law school and passed the bars, I immediately worked on this case. It wasn't easy. It took us a very long time to process everything to the Supreme Court.
Ang case ni Jahiem, iyon lamang ang kaso na pinanghahawakan namin na maraming ebidensya. Kapag napatunayan na sa korte na guilty ang ama ko, mabubuksan na rin ang ibang kaso laban sa kaniya na ibinaon na lang sa limot dahil walang magpapatunay.
Kapag nalaman nila na kaya niyang pumatay ng tao, mapapagkonekta na nila ang mga pangyayari, malalaman na kaya talagang pumatay ng hinatulan nila noon na "not guilty".
He killed Jahiem, a young man who did nothing wrong to him.
What makes them think that he's not capable of robbing people's money and abusing his power? What makes them think that he's not capable of killing his wife who plans to turn him into the police? What makes them think that he's not capable of ordering his bodyguards to torture someone just because that someone didn't vote for him?
Kaya pala tumaas ang death rate ng siyudad noon. Ikaw pala ang may dahilan. Pinapatay mo ang mga taong hindi ka binoboto.
Hindi malinis ang ama ko at lahat ng iyon, ilalantad ko ngayong araw. Kasi ako ang pinaka-may kakayahan. Hindi niya ako paghihigantihan. Hindi niya ako papatayin. Anak niya pa rin ako at kailanman hindi ko siya hinayaan na hawakan ako sa leeg.
