Discliamer: iCarly belongs to Dan Schnieder
At last the court was in session, the judge, a youngish man with brown hair that was only just starting to grey and brown eyes was explaining the procedure.
"Now, as I'm sure you are all aware this is case of fraud, current CFC Champion Shelby Marx has accused the defendant, Nevel Papperman with fraud and we are here to determine what course of action will be taken, Ms. Marx, if you'd like to begin".
Shelby nodded and took the stand. She began by explaining the events leading up to her fight with Carly, it had been agreed for them both to hold a charity match and Shelby fully planned to hold back, after the incident at the press conference where Shelby had lost her temper Carly had tried to explain it was an accident.
"I believed her and deciding to continue the fight, I was still planning to hold back, it was just a charity match after all. But then Nevel shows up and shows me a video that made it look like Carly ahd knocked my grandmother on purpose, I did get angry and the fight nearly ended up being for real".
The judge interrupted at that point.
"We are well aware of what happened at the fight, I, myself was watching it, quite amusing, what happened after the fight".
Shelby continued.
"I spoke to Carly and we realised I'd been tricked, we made up and eventually, I decided on this".
"And how did you realise you'd been tricked?"
"Turns out Nevel digitally edited the video, I had my doubts at first but one of Carly's friends was able to determine that the video had actually been edited".
The judge nodded, he glanced over at the jury who were taking a few notes, some of them were smiling, they too had seen the fight, in fact only one member of the jury wasn't a Shelby Marx fan but luckily he wasn't biased towards Nevel either, therefore the outcome would likely be determined by his decision more than the others.
After a few more comments the judge allowed Shelby to sit down and called Carly to the stand and asked for her account of events, it was essentially the same as Shelby's including the fiasco at the press conference being an accident, after explaining the terrifying fight she also explained how Shelby had reconciled with her too, then the judge decided to ask.
"It was one of your friends that checked the video for any sign of digital editing?"
"Yes, I was suspicious so I asked Freddie to check the video, we was able to find out that was definitely edited".
"Very well, thanks you Carly Shay".
The judge cleared his throat and called Freddie up to the stand to ask not only for his account of events but also to explain how he checked the content of the video for any evidence of it being tampered as he explained, using terms that everybody could understand, Sam gently nudged Carly's shoulder and whispered to her.
"Geez, look, Nevel's squirming, this is hilarious, wonder how he's gonna try and worm his way outta this one".
Carly also smirked, as did Shelby who had overheard them. Once Freddie was done with his explanation he was allowed to sit down and Sam was called forward as a witness, she gave her account of what happened while trying to ignore the fact that she recognized a few members of the jury due to her previous times in the courthouse. Finally when Sam was finished the judge declared a ten minute recess and when they came back Nevel would be given an opportunity to defend himself.
During the break the group decided to stop by at a nearby restaurant and get lunch, they spoke a little about the case, Carly then remembered something.
"You know, out of the jury only one of them doesn't seem to have any favourites in this case".
Shelby looked at her, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Apart from this one guy all the jury seem to be fans of yours, this guy is unbiased".
They then fell into discussion about this one guy and how he would be the one who would probably be the deciding factor, it was just a question of how much he' end up hating Nevel by the time this was done. Finally the recess was over and they returned to the courthouse, after a brief discussion with his lawyer Nevel began to walk up to the stand, he glared at the iCarly trio but turned away and focused on the stand when Sam and then Shelby glared at him, once on the stand he prepared to speak for his defense.
End of chapter, next up, Nevel speaks in the case, how will his humiliation be complete, wait and see, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
