IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
It had been a month since the SVU squad had arrived in heaven. Just like Serena had said, the squad had spent most of their time in the 'EL' (Earth Looker). It didn't really have a name, that 'thing'; 'EL' was just something that everyone called it. Each one looked at something different, Munch watched the Government, hoping to find something that they were lying about, something to prove that one of his conspiracy theories were true. Elliot, Casey and Fin all looked on loved ones, friends and family, while Olivia looked on the victims she had helped while she was in the Special Victims Unit. Cragen, however didn't spend most of his time in the 'EL', he spent most of his time with his wife. Sometimes, whenever they weren't in the 'EL', they were huddled in a quarter, chatting about their lives and feelings, any news and along with meeting up with descended friends and family. In fact, Lennie Briscoe visited regularly. Everyone was starting to get used to the fact that everything that happened on Earth was beyond their control, even though they were 'Earth sick'. 'You don't miss it till it's gone', true to its word.
Everyone was huddled in Elliot's quarter, when a letter flew in and landed in the middle of the circle they had formed. Pop, the wings disappeared. By then everyone had gotten used to the messenger service; but they were all mildly surprised the first morning when one of these letters flew in. It seemed to have slipped Serena's mind to warn them, it was one of the many things Serena didn't tell them about. Apparently, on the Squad's death date, they got one of they most wanted questions answered by God, (this was according to Lennie.) Whether or not he was joking around, they hadn't much of a chance to find out.
Elliot picked up the letter. On it, it had, "Reminder!" written in gold on the front. Elliot carefully opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. It was written in a soft, sky blue ink. 'Remember: Velez's trial in 10 minutes'. Elliot looked at the clock on the glossy white wall. Ten to eleven. It read. He stood up and walked over to the 'EL'. Everyone followed; they all agreed to watch it together. No one said anything. Elliot pushed the red button and muttered 'Judge Lena Petrovsky's courtroom."
The scene went snowy and then slowly cleared. Casey stared, longing to be there. Heaven was great but she missed the courtroom, the gavel, the jury, the feeling of angst and butterflies in her stomach, everything that she used to do. It just wasn't the same.
Velez was sitting, helplessly, at the defence table along with his attorney. EADA Jack McCoy and ADA Alexandra Borgia were sitting at the prosecutor's table. People were chatting among themselves.
Suddenly the bailiff said, "All rise for Judge Petrovsky." as Judge Petrovsky walked up to her bench. The court was silent.
Evidence and witness were presented to the jury. Velez's lawyer claimed that Velez was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, that the People wasted their time going after Velez when the real killer was still on the loose.
As the trial went on, everyone wanted to walk up to Velez and punch him, but the realization that they were in a different dimension made them sit at the edge of their seats. During the recess, they watched four different events and views, the jury, the prosecutors, the defendant and the judge, seeing what they did and said. It was tempting to scream out what the prosecution should do, what the defendant was lying about.
Finally all the evidence was presented, every witness had be questioned, and everything was done except the verdict. The squad focused their attention on the jury, hoping to know the verdict before it was announced in court.
It seemed obvious, well at least to the SVU squad, Velez was to be found guilty, but so much of their surprise……

Okay,
I'll leave it here. Now this is were I need everyone's help. I've
done a poll before, and I'm doing it again. All I need everyone to
say is either 'yes' or 'no'. Nothing other then just a 'yes'
or 'no' for this poll. Other then that, feel free to say whatever
you want! I'm not going to say what the question is, so depending
on the question I have written down somewhere, and the number of
'yes's and 'no's I get, I will decided with verdict I will
use. Very confusing? Yeah I agree! Oh well.
