Jack
Closing arguments:
I go off like a bomb! Sword. Heart. Fire. Whisper to thunder.
My voice hits the resonant frequency of the room. Made the walls shake. Felt the audience in the gallery murmur, rumble, and quake.
It was a flood of flashbacks.
The most decisive battle cry, "THERE WERE 17 POLICE VIDEOS!! WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE DID THEY GO? WHY DIDN'T YOU GET TO SEE THEM?"
I wait three beats. Turn. Point both hands at the two DAs.
The jury looks at them. The DAs stare back with a look of hate and nausea.
Jack
The Jury is deliberating.
Ceci
Ok, standing by. You feel good?
Jack
I don't want to say. Jinx is a powerful magic.
Ceci
I'm good with that.
Jack
Just got a call from the Court Clerk
The Jury has a question.
We all file back into the courtroom.
The Jury is asking the Judge if they can see the videos!!
Ceci
Of course.
Jack
We are back in Courtroom for another jury question.
The Jury is asking for the police reports and transcripts.
Ceci
Are they allowed to view these things now that they request them?
Jack
Yes. They can view the few videos that were admitted by the DA, but not our videos.
Not transcripts. Not police reports.
Jack
More waiting....
Another jury question!
Very inquisitive jury.
They are requesting a copy of the entire trial transcript.
Ceci
Wow!
A transcript of what they just sat through?
So they still don't get to see the complete videos?
Jack
No.
Earlier, during the trial, the Jury actually asked the Court to admit our videos.
A jury asking for the Court to change its ruling and admit a defense exhibit. In my entire career, I have never seen that.
Ceci
I sure hope they wonder why they don't get to see the body cams.
Jack
They will.
