Hi everyone! I'm back for another MASH installment. I hope you all like the idea. I'm doing Evidence at the moment as a Law subject, so this story sort of popped into my head. Please enjoy and let me know what you think :-)
Margaret sat in her dress uniform looking toward the front of the room. All she saw was the Judge who was presiding over this particular court martial. This was the court martial of Margaret Houlihan.
Suddenly Margaret felt the urge to look around the room, but she was afraid that she would get into even more trouble. The worst of the situation was that she had done nothing wrong. However, she knew that her past would come back to bite her at some point. The point was now.
Why the hell is this happening to me? I know it's the first day of this thing, but I'm already sure that I'll be found guilty. I mean, who's going to believe a female Major over a two-star General? I know I would, but these regular army bozos wouldn't. Wow! I guess Hawkeye, Trapper and BJ had a bigger influence on me than I thought.
Suddenly, Margaret heard her name called. She was about to testify.
" … I really don't like to talk badly about people, especially about someone with a higher rank than me, but I am under oath. I did not make sexual advances toward the General. He made sexual advances toward me and I turned him down. I guess he couldn't let anyone else think that he was about to cheat on his wife whom I happen to be friends with."
The Judge simply looked at Margaret carefully as she finished her recount of the events that led to the court martial.
"Thank you Major. You may step down now."
Margaret quickly got up and went to sit at her spot next to her lawyer.
"I think there is sufficient evidence for this court martial to proceed. These hearings will resume in one month and I would like both parties to present their witnesses at this time. This hearing is adjourned."
Margaret sat there is disbelief.
This is real now. Who can I call as a witness?
