Re: TWG 30 - Objection!
Phoenix spent the rest of that day searching for more evidence that might clear the Colonel's name. He had to do as much as possible; the trial was the next day, and he certainly had to make sure he was prepared. The big day was coming that would determine it all... was Colonel Fragson innocent or guilty?
April 20, 11:00 AM
District Court - Courtroom No. 2
*SLAM*
"Order! This court is now in session for the trial of Colonel Bubbalicious Lyman Fragson."
"Bubbalicious? You've gotta be kidding me!"
"Erm... yes, that's his name."
"The prosecution is ready, Your Honor."
"The defense is ready, Your Honor."
"Very well. Does the Prosecution have an opening statement?"
"Yes, Your Honor. Colonel Fragson worked on the police force for several years. This means that he has seen the result of murders firsthand. The Hobo Wars brought trouble to his mind, and set him to do irrational things. I plan to prove, beyond a doubt, that Colonel Fragson is indeed guilty of 1st degree murder."
"This is ridiculous! Why did you have to say that? It's your job! We're not idiots!"
"No, but you are! Please refrain from further outbursts!"
The man making constant outbursts in the courtroom was just a normal spectator, but much more disruptive than the judge had seen in a while. Unrest was occasional in any case, but this was somewhat ridiculous.
"Maybe we can continue now? Does the Defense have a statement?"
"Nothing at this time, Your Honor."
"Very well. Would the Prosecution like to describe the murder weapon?"
"Of course, Your Honor. Unfortunately, the murder weapon is not in our possession, but-"
"Are you kidding me? How can you convict a man without the weapon? My grandma can make a better case that this, and she's dead!"
"YOU! One more outburst, and I will find you in contempt of court! Now, please continue, Mr. Edgeworth."
"...Of course, Your Honor. Although we do not have the weapon, we do know that the murder was committed with a five-inch blade. The weapon was used to stab the victim, chardish, five times in the back, and twice in the throat. That is all at this time."
"Very well. Would the Prosecution like to call its first witness?"
"Indeed. The Prosecution calls-"
"This is ridiculous! You're ridiculous! You can't convict this man! You don't have the brains to do it! You're an idiot!"
"SIR! You have been found in contempt of court! Bailiff, remove this man from the court immediately!"
The judge was fuming. The bailiff moved slowly from the front of the room to the back, towards the seat where the man was sitting. When he reached the man, though, he put up a bit of a fight...
"What are you gonna do, huh? You can't make me move, I'm Kefit! I take orders from no one!"
Kefit turned the other way and closed his eyes, sticking his nose in the air. The bailiff promptly responded by bopping him over the head once, swiftly and firmly, with his nightstick.
"WARRRghghghgg... I feel the colors... they smell... ear wax...."
The bailiff grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the courtroom, dropping him on the sidewalk outside the building. He promptly returned, and the case continued, minus one Kefit.

It is now Day 3. Kefit was attacked by three rabid opossums and seven deranged seagulls while lying half-conscious on the sidewalk. My, that didn't take long.

You have until 9PM on Wednesday, April 26th to vote. I'm not going to say anything clever this time. Just make sure you vote before deadline, kiddies.
