"Your honor," the processor said, "today I would like to show a video. It is my way of calling Jake Hart to the stand. Allow me to present exhibit D. It's a video tape of poor Jake Hart." The bailiff put the tape in.
"Let me warn you that you must be prepared to find this disturbing. Young Jake is on inhibitors, anticoagulants, antiarrthymics, Betta Blockers, Diuretics, Inotropic drugs, potassium supplements, and interventional catheterization. Young Jake has been through 3 heart surgeries including a heart transplant. Gentle members of the jury what I mentioned is only the tip of the ice burg. That's only for his heart.
For young Jake's kidney he is on dialysis. Jake's entire body is shutting down." The bailiff turned on the video. Everyone gasped as they saw the close-up on Jake. "Only a miracle could save the boy now," the processor said sadly
"OBJECTION YOUR HONOR IT IS NOT MS. BOOKER HART'S FAULT THAT JAKE HAS A HEART PROBLEM!" "No," said the processor calmly, "but it is her fault that she mixed his medication and put a mix of alcohol and dog piss in his IV line." "Objection overruled" Good, thought Mike. However he simply said yes sure and sat down.
Then they heard Kyra's voice. "Jake I'm not going to plead without to wake up because I know that you can't right now and I don't want you to feel bad. Just remember you survived the attack" "Freeze," said the processor then turned to Reba. "What attack is that?"
"It was when he had turned three years old. A gang initiation was to nail a young child to a fence via his or her shirt. Jake was playing in the park. We had asked Barbra Jean to baby-sit him… just for a couple of hours. She wondered off to be with her girlfriend Jennifer.
"Well a member of the gang, he's a member now, was initiating than, comes grabs Jake uses a stun gun and then with a nail gun shots one nail into his shirt, then another one which knicked his chest… and stun guns him 4 more times. An older kid got a hysterical Jake down and stayed with him while she waited for the ambulance." "Is this older kid here?" A teenage girl stood and identified herself. "When Barbra Jean found out about this what was her reaction?"
"She looked up, shrugged and said 'oh' and walked away." "OH! Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that response just goes to show how heatless Barbra Jean is." "Objection your honor," said the defense, "What was Ms. Booker-Hart supposed to say. "Overruled," Good, thought mike again.
