Man, court trials are boring. There are two evil lawyers, a judge with a cool hammer, a jury whose minds are probably already made up, and, of course, police officers. They don't like me.
So I didn't have to say anything today. I wasn't called to the stand, which would've been cool. Stark got slammed pretty hard. They played the whole, "why were you making weapons capable of mass destruction in the first place?" card. Very convincing. Score one for the away team.
Stark apologized, said that he's an icon in the business, blah blah, whatever. I should've brought my I-Pod. But he did say he understands what happened, but it was an accident. "It's like someone stealing your car and hitting someone with it. Is it your fault? No. But it's still your car that took the life," he said. I liked that part. I wanted to clap, but people didn't like me enough already.
After the trial Stark went over to me and thanked me for showing up. He asked if I'd be there for the next trials. Apparently people cant' make decisions with just one trial, so there will be more. I told him yes, of course. "What are bestest buddies for?"
When I left a police officer spit at my foot. It didn't hit, but it didn't make it any less demeaning or hurtful. "Hey! Ew! Watch it, loogie-boy!" I told him. He sneered at me, but I ignored it. But it's hard to ignore it after a while.

Don't worry about the police, really. You've been getting a lot of crap from them lately, but don't take it to heart.

Man, I'd love to go to that thing! Do you know how cool that'd be, to actually testify? To swear to tell the truth and the whole truth and nothing but the truth? So cool.
