Sky walked into The courtroom and seated herself onto one of the seats available. It was her first court case on her own and her first murder trial she worked on. Usually she would work on robbery cases and had help from her old boss. However, she left the old law office a few months ago and opened her law office. Sky wouldn’t have taken this case, but there were circumstances that made her choose to take the case. The defendant, Taylor Ericson walked towards Sky.

“Hey are you making fun of my height!” Darwin yelled with his face turning red with anger.
“No its just that I can barely,” Sky debated before being interrupted.

“Witness name and occupation.” Freddie ordered.
“Well I thought you already introduced me, but whatever,” Darwin grumbled, “ My name is Darwin Pormoney and I work at the museum.” Darwin announced.
“Mr. Pormoney how did you come to know the defendant?’ Freddie
