"Would the defendant please state his name for the record?" the judge said.
"I am Andrew Walkie and I'm 26"
"What was your contribution to this issue at hand?" the lawyer asked.
Andrew shrugged. "I have the same beliefs as my brothers. What Wendy did by refusing to marry Sam, the man mom chose for her was one of the worst things she could have done. Now Sam won't even do business with the family. He was a prominent member of the community who we sought a lot of business from and now he refuses to do business with us. It is Wendy's fault and she should pay for that!"
"Sam is not my type. He is tattooed from head to toe, a skinhead and very angry looking at all times. He is not the kind of man I would ever be interested in" Wendy said standing up suddenly.
"Shut up you wench you are not allowed to speak" snarled Andrew.
Wendy shook her head. Andrew was only 10 years younger her and at one point sympathized with what her mom made her go through. When Wendy was 18 and Andrew 8, Wendy was attending university and commuting two hours one way (because her mom refused to let her live on campus. Andrew was very sympathetic to her plight.
"Andrew, what happened, you were very sympathetic towards me at one point, one of the only brothers who was"
"I grew up Wendy and I understood where a man stands and a woman stands in this world. And you female siblings are way under us men" Andrew retorted.
The judge and lawyers sighed.
More questions were asked in regard to the upbringing and the reasoning for the arson.
"Enough of the arson talk. I am sick and tired of it. Wendy disobeyed the men so she paid the consequences." Andrew said with a snarl.
"You also forced all the other tenants out of their homes too. Was that part of your plan?" the lawyer asked.
Andrew shrugged. "Collateral damage. As I see it, those tenants should go after Wendy and David not me. She disobeyed direct orders so she is in the wrong"
"You have no heart or sympathy Andrew" the lawyer told him.
"I'm a man. I give orders and I expect to be obeyed. Mom is an exception to the rule though"
"Now what was your role in Dana's beating?"
"Following the orders of my mom. She told us if she finds my sister with a boy unchaperoned to deal with it. We dealt with it the way Dana deserved."
"Ok. Andrew is remanded into custody until his trial in two weeks. Jerry Walkie please take the stand.
