Daniel Jackson is Brought Up From Houston Penitentiary:
"Court is now back in session. Would the Prosecution like to question Mrs. Walker again?"
"Yes we would, you your honor."
"The Prosecution would like to call Mrs. Walker back up to the stand."
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?" the bailiff asked.
"I do."
"Mrs. Walker, during your trial against David Dukeman, why did you not tell the jury what he had done to you?"
"Objection your honor, I don't see any revalence to this trial."
"Sustained, counselor please get to your point."
"I am your honor. That question was only in light of what I was going to ask. Can you identify the man that raped you ten years ago?"
"Yes I can. His name is Daniel Jackson and he's sitting right behind you."
"Isn't it true that David Dukeman raped you the day before Mr. Jackson did?"
I glanced down. I hadn't wanted that to come out.
"Isn't it true?"
"Yes, it
is."
"So why did you not tell us that? I mean Mr. Dukeman
could be your daughter's father, could he not?"
"He
could."
"Then how do you know that Mr. Jackson is the father?"
"Before
he could join the dance team, my father had him take a DNA
test."
"Why?"
"Everyone was asked to take a DNA test."
"Why?"
"So just in case we got into an accident, the blood work would be in the registry & the hospital workers would know what blood type to give us if we had any life threatening injuries."
"So,
you're saying that everyone was required to have a DNA test
done."
"Yes."
"So why is it then that you didn't have a DNA test done?"
"Because my blood was already in the registry."
"Would please tell the court why your blood was already in the registry?"
"Because of when I was given blood during my chemotherapy sessions."
"I see. And how many times were you or one of the other members of your team hospitalized within the first year?"
"We got into a couple car accidents. Why?"
"Isn't it true that Mr. Dukeman was the reason you were in the accidents to begin with?"
"Yes.
But what does this have to do with anything?"
"I agree," the
judge said, "Get to the point."
"I am your honor. Please tell the court how many times Mr. Dukeman tried to kill you during a trip with the dance/choir/martial arts team?"
"Almost
every time we went somewhere. And that was only if we didn't have
criminals as our body guards."
"So you do trust criminals over
some of your friends. And that would be because they've all tried
to kill you at one point of time, right?"
"Yes, and because I was the only cop to have ever gotten an agreement going with any criminal out of Texas."
"And what was that agreement?"
"If I helped them get away from another criminal, they wouldn't put me in the hospital for a year. The agreement stopped when I turned 20 and started to move around a lot. Of course every convict that has ever tried to kill me are in jails throughout the state of Texas. They are let out if I go missing, or if a new criminal decides he's going to try and kill me, or if I'm kidnapped. Every time they find me, a year is taken off their time in prison. The governor has worked it out with the F.B.I."
"No further questions your honor."
"Thank
you. Mrs. Walker You May step down now."
"Thank you."
