Cross-examination
Exhibit A:
The defence
What would you say if your best friend was charged with this?
She's sitting there with the same charge and the same exhibits. One line.
The verdict, for tonight.
The charge
Facts that survived
None. Every exhibit was a feeling.
Noted, not admissible
None.
The defence
case closed for tonight
A fact survived. The page won't argue with it, and it isn't the same thing as the charge.
What's the one thing you'd do about it?
Nothing on the table is a fact. The charge was tried on feelings, and feelings are real, but they're not evidence of what they claim. A feeling of fraud is a feeling. It's not a finding.
Screenshot the verdict if you want it for the morning. It's yours; we never see it.
