Jacob Latimore 2 (Revenge)

Court

Today Y/n and Jacob got dressed for court. They were both nervous about the judge and how things are all left in the hands of the jury. Y/n grabbed her suitcase and met Jacob inside of his black suburban.

They drove to the court house. They went in the court room and waited for their case to begin. Y/n saw Khalil talking to Latoya. That girl just go from guy  to guy like seasons. Y/n thought to herself.

"All rise!"

Everyone stood up as the judge entered the court room. She motioned everyone to sit after she sat down. She looked through her papers to look over at the case. She looked at Latoya who still had a swollen eye and a broken nose. She looked over at Y/n who flashed a smile to her.

"Let's get this straight. Defendant, the plaintiff wants to sue you 500,000 for assaulting her out of jealousy. She says you have been jealous of her ever since she began dating her boyfriend. Plaintiff, is that correct?"

"Yes, your honor." Latoya said.

"Plaintiff, the defendant wants to put you in jail for first degree murder after killing her new born son. She says she also wants to sue for arson after you burned their house down. She wants to sue however much money the house cost including the furniture and the cost for her sons funeral. Is that correct defendant?"

"That's right, your honor." Y/n said.

"Plaintiff, may I ask, why did you kill her new born?" the judge asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Latoya said.

"Okay." the judge said. "Defendant, please come up and give your testimony."

Y/n stood up and brushed down her black pencil skirt. She pulled up her sleeves to her blazer and walked up to the witness stand. A officer was on her tail. She turned to him and placed her hand on the bible and lifted the other one in the air.

"Y/n Johnson, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?" the officer asked.

"Yes." Y/n blurted.

She sat down in the seat of the witness stand with almost everyone's attention on her. She was so nervous that she didn't notice her foot tapping up a storm.

"Council you may begin." the judge said.

Latoya's lawyer got up and walked over to Y/n. He gave her a cold hard stare before he spoke.

"Ms. Johnson, can you tell the jury what happened at the dinner you had after your son's funeral? Tell them how Latoya is in her condition." He said.

"I was sitting down eating and talking to my friends and family when Princeton came up with Latoya asking to have a seat. I was hoping that we could squash the beef when I told them yeah, but the-"

"What beef happened? You were already in a conflict with Latoya already?"

"Yes. She lied about my boyfriend taking advantage of her for whatever God awful reason."

"You took that anger built up and beat up innocent Latoya who just wanted to comfort you after your son's death?"

"Yes w-well no. She added to that anger by say-"

"You and your friend beat her up even after you knew she was pregnant. You let your assumptions get the best of you. You wanted to kill her child because you thought she killed yours."

"Objection your honor. He's not letting her explain." Anthony fussed.

"Agreed." the judge said.
