COURT DAY
Place: Holby Court.
Time: 14:00pm
Present are; Judge Sarah4Steve, Solicitors lilangel1and Girisha1. The accused; Nick Jordan. And the witnesses; Dr Zoe Walker, Thomas Kent, Samantha Kent, Lily Chao, Ethan Hardy. Nurse Robyn Miller and two children Isabella Kent and Emma-Rose Kent (both witnessed but are only 2 and 3 years old!)
Incident in question was on Saturday 16th June- Which left Samantha Kent in early labour. Thomas Kent in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Lily Chao with a serious head injury and having to use crutched for years. Zoe Walker who had her wedding ruined and had to give life support to her friend Lily. Then there were two children who saw what happened to their parents and will live with that memory for life.
"We are gathered here to get statements and you the panel will decide on weather Nick Jordan is guilty or not Guilty. But he has already plead guilty to the first charge which was pushing a pregnant Zoe down the stairs, and pleads not guilty to the second charge as already told above." Started Judge Sarah4Steve. "we would also like to say in the case of the fire alarm going off exit through the doors you came in and wait in the car park next to the co-operative shop opposite. Also all friends and family in the gallery please keep quiet until you are called to give evidence please." Spoke the main solicitor lilangel1.
The court then commenced with the first few statements being told by Lily and Tom and Ethan. Then Robyn was sent outside before being called into the room. "I swear the evidence I'm about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Spoke Robyn with her hand on a bible. That is main protocol (or so I think that's what they do on The Bill. Lol) in a courtroom before they give anything to the judge and jury.
What felt like minutes was in fact hours and they kept on cross referencing statements and checking what some doctor words meant in English which they called Connie Beauchamp up to verify for them.
The courtroom all retired at four pm to have lunch which gave them an hour. "god how long did they spend with everyone there, about thirty minutes each?" asked Sam. She was rather nervous as she knew that she was being called up when court resumed. "Don't worry Sam. I'll wait outside till you come out if you want?" replied Tom. Sam nodded and smiled. One thing Tom missed- her smile.
There was thirty minutes left till court resumed so lilangel1 took her remaining team who had to give evidence and took them to one side to talk to them. They conferred for a bit before resuming the court case. "Court back in process at 1700 hours." Spoke Sarah4Steve. The court case finally finished all statements at 1900 hours and the jury had retired to decide the fate. When they returned Girisha1 stood up. "They'd like to call Isabella Kent up as she is the oldest out of the two little children." She spoke. Sam and Tom looked angry but picked up Izzy and handed her to the guard by the door.
Isabella got up on the stand and tried her best to read the card with help. "She has speech difficulties" spoke Sam so the court knew and would be patient with her. "Izzy, can you tell us what happened when you were in the Limo?" asked Sarah4Steve. "I was pplaying wwith Eemma-Rrose iin tthe bback wwhen I hhead aauntie Zzoe sscreaming aand ttelling uus tto gget tto tthe bback aand..." Izzy can't manage to finish sentence as she start crying from the shock of it. Sam gets up and goes around picking her up and taking her outside. Emma stands up. "Sir you want me finish it?" asked Emma trying to speak in a sentence. "ok. Is that ok Zoe?" she asked. Zoe nodded and helped Emma out the door and they let her in. " I swear who truth and nothing but truth." Started Emma. "So where Izzy finished. We moved to back but Lily went." Showed a drawing on paper with what happened on it. The picture showed truly how much affected the girls.
Then the best sound ever was heard. "we have made a disision." Spoke a member of the Jury. "Right do you find the defendant Guilty or Not Guilty?" asked Judge Sarah4Steve. "Well from all the statements we have heard the diagram and the photo's from the scene along with patient notes we find the defendant Guilty." Spoke the jury member. The gallery viewers all sighed a sign of relief especially Zoe as they finally got the justice they deserved.
Then... "Mr Jordan, you will have four years in jail for the assault on Zoe Hanna when she was pregnant. A further ten years for the assult of Samantha, Thomas, Harrison and Ethan and a life sentence of twenty years for attempted murder of Zoe, Lily, Robyn, Emma-Rose and Isabella. Which reaches the total of thirty four years in jail and you will also pay a fine of one thousand pounds compensation to each victim and five hundred pounds to the two young girls and Harrison, costing a total of six seven thousand five hundred pounds compensation. Court Dismissed." Spoke Sarah4Steve.
