KND series book 4: false accusation

Scarlet eyes

At the courthouse

Just as the judge was about to sentence Sebastian, KND burst through the door and halted him

Judge: KND, you seem to have developed a habit of crashing my sentencing, but I believe you have some evidence to show me.

Keith: woah, I didn't know you worked here too.

Judge: I don't,I'm pitching in for a friend. Anyway, present your case.

Shawn: we don't just have evidence, we have the real culprit with us( brings forth Georgie) she is here to confess to the crime.

Georgie: it's through your honour, I am the one who tried to kill Mabel, I'm also responsible for all the incidents in school.

Judge: how sure are we that she is not just trying to save Sebastian, after all, apparently Sebastian wasn't the one that was to be arrested, but he was arrested after some incriminating evidence was shown. Do you think you have enough evidence to prove your point?

Shawn:(brings out the box and some papers) this is the box in which she hid the weapon (opens it) as you see, the knife is very delicate and fancy,unlike the kind of knives that are sold at the shop which Sebastian had been to.

Steven: We even have the fingerprint, and Sebastian's as well(gives them the fingerprints)

Samuel: as you can see, the fingerprints are very different.

Sal:not to mention that Sebastian is right-handed, while the angle of the wound have the impression that the person was left-handed

Samantha: and,(shows them the two papers as well as plays a video) according to this footage we got from the hospital, when Karen went to visit Mabel a few days ago, Mabel can be seen writing something, which is this(shows the first paper and hands it to the judge) and when we had it decrypted we get this (gives the second paper)

Steven:is that enough evidence to make our point? Or should we continue?

Judge: no, you have provided enough evidence. Just as expected (starts examining all the evidence)

Steven:(whispers to the other) good, cause that's all we got.

Keith: smooth

Shawn: your honour, before you finish examining, I'd like to put in a word (whispers into his ear) that will be all.

Judge: I understand

Twenty minutes later

The judge had finished examining the evidence, and the jury were drawing their conclusions.

Judge:(collects a paper from the jury) Sebastian Houston, I hereby find you, not guilty

The gang heave a sigh of relief.

Judge: as for you, miss Jardin, due to your mentally instability and the circumstances surrounding your actions, I hereby sentence you to three years in a rehabilitation centre with a year of probation afterwards (slams his hammer) court adjourned.

Outside

Georgie: thanks so much for all you have done for me. Je suis tres reconnaissant. Auvoir message Amies,
Jusqu'a CE que nous nous revoyions.

Sal: vous etes Les bienvenus

Georgie:(smiles and calls her father to pick her up)

Keith: I didn't know you speak French Sal.

Sal: there's a lot of things you don't know about me.

Samuel:{you can say that again}

Suddenly,they saw Karina running towards them
