"We will now begin this trial. Starting with where was Mrs. Clark on the night of July Thirteenth?"' asked the lawyer.
My Lawyer, Tom, stood up
"Ms. Clark was on her own at her house that night of Mr. Andrew's Murder." Stated Tom.
Tates Lawyer stood up.
"If Cathrine, Ms. Clark, was at home on the night of the murder, why is she suspected? Why is she sitting in this room at this moment?" Said Tate's lawyer, James.
"Ms. Clark was given with the following information to prove that she was guilty, a red hat that Tate owned was found in the defendant's residence." Stated the Jury.
I looked up and saw the Hat and other items they had found from Tate's body. I dug my nails into the wooden chair until it began to hurt. Tom stood up again and turned to the Judge and walked up to the Judge.
"Cathrine Danielle Clark is a Murderer!!" Screamed Tate's mother in the courtroom.
I jumped and took a deep breath, I wanted to sink into the floor. I wanted to cry, my chest tightened up like it was trying to suffocate me. Her voice echoed through the room, people gasped around me. I felt like all eyes were on me. The Judge looked at me like he wanted to kill me. He gave me the dead stare as if I had murdered someone.
"Now Mrs .Andrews, please sit down and keep the comments to yourself or you're going to be asked to leave." Said the Judge.
I sat in my chair and continued to look towards the front of the room while Tom stood up.
"Ms. Clark was at home on the night of the murder. The murder site had no finger prints or footprints. If I am correct James?" Asked Tom
"Y-yes sir, there were no fingerprints or footprints at the site, no." Replied James, Tates lawyer.
"So, why are we putting the blame on a young woman that was at home by herself that night?" Asked Tom, once again.
"People had said that they saw her and Tate go to the watch tower that night." Said James.
"So, we are relying on the people to give us the answers now?" Said Tom in a stern tone.
"No sir, we are not." Replied James.
Tom walked over to where we were sitting and took a heavy sigh. Tom grabbed a stack of stapled papers and walked back over to the Judge stand where James was sitting.
"I believe that this is the Email that you sent to the town Mayor about the Watch tower's dangers.
Please read the last three sentences of this page." said Tom.
"I repeat, I would like to address the dangers of the Firetower. The fire towers' rails have fallen from over 57 feet in the air. When pressure is pushed against the rails people can.. People can fall to a terrible death and or Injury.." Said James.
The room gasped in shock at the 3 sentences of the letter.
"Yes.. So you were aware of the dangers of the fire tower?" Replied Tom
"Yes.. Yes I was." Said James in a slight tone.
I looked up in a confused tone while the Jury looked up at everyone. The crowded room looked back towards the doors as my brother Jodie and some of my close family friends walked in.
