TO STOP A KILLER
ML: Ok, here's chapter 6!
Joey: Who hasn't done the summary yet?
ML: Duke?
Duke: Right! Last time, Joey and Yugi caught their man, as Marik had been booked! After some interrogation, in which the case was to go to court, that's where we are now!
ML: Perfect. I don't own YGO, but I do own all original characters! ROLL IT!
Chapter 6 - Court and Sentence
Domino Courthouse: Tuesday - 10:15 AM.
The jury, the lawyers and everything were all in place. To Marik Ishtar, however, everything was all a blur. From the day of his arrest, from the moment leading up till now, it had all been one big blur. His lawyer, a man named Simon Nolan, was thinking about what had happened to his client. But then, the moment he had been thinking about happened. The judge came in.
The clerk replied, "All rise." Then, he told the details. "Case no. 1343832, the people vs. Ishtar. You may be seated." The judge then asked, "May the prosecution please make their opening statements?" The lawyer began to say everything.
"Your honor, we are here today to prove that this madman, Marik Ishtar, is guilty on the following charges: murder in the first degree, property destruction, and assault and battery. I swear, people like him should not be on the streets. Thanks for listening." The lawyer then sat down. The judge, looking as if this would be a big case, then said, "Now, will the defense make their opening statement?"
Simon got up, and started walking. "Now, even though my client has all these charges against him, he might have acted in insanity and rage. Tell me, is it justifiable to lock up someone who is insane? No. That's why I'm here. To defend this man, and make sure he's acquitted of all charges. Thank you." He then sat down. Marik cracked a smile. Until the judge said the words he'd been mentally waiting for. "Will the defendant please rise?"
Marik got up, and looked at the judge. He said, "Marik Ishtar, you're being tried for Murder in the first degree, property destruction, and assault and battery. How do you plead?" Marik answered, nonchalantly, "Not guilty, your honor." He then sat down. The judge asked, "Will the prosecution please call up their first witness?"
The prosecutor got up, and said, "I'd like to call Mr. Chris Golden to the stand." Chris got up, and walked over to the stand. Once the formalities were done, the prosecutor got down to asking the questions. After all that, was the cross-examination. (A/N: I'll just skip the rest of the trial.)
The jury, after hearing the closing arguments, made their verdict. The judge then asked the big question that Marik was dreading. "As the jury made their verdict?" Peter, a young man who was sitting, said, "We have your honor. We, the jury, find the defendant, guilty of all charges."
Upon hearing that, Marik cried. It just wasn't happening. The judge said, "Will the defendant please rise?" The defendant got up, and said, "Marik Ishtar, the people have found you guilty of all charges. You will be sentenced to the maximum 10 years in prison, with no possibility of parole. Court is adjourned." With the bang of the gavel, everyone filed out. Ian, the prosecutor, saw Yugi and Joey waiting by.
Joey asked, "Well, what happened?"
Ian replied, "They found him guilty."
Yugi said, "That's great. Let's hope he doesn't exact his revenge."
Ian replied, "Hopefully, he won't."
But, in the van, Marik began to think. What to do, what to do.
END
Sorry about skipping the trial. After all, I'm no law student. Anyway, R&R!
