Un-forgiveness Trilogy pt.2

Clerk: we’re gathered here today to witness the first hearing of the case ’’un-forgiveness against humanity’’
Mr. un-forgiveness, you are advised to remain silent during this procedure.

Mr un-forgiveness here has been charged with the following:
• Robbing humanity of peace of mind
• Planting resentment and bitterness in the heart of humans
• Holding humanity captive

Having heard all that has been said here, do you Mr un-forgiveness plead guilty or not guilty.

Un-forgiveness: Not guilty

Opening Statement

Prosecutor: it is my pleasure to stand here representing humanity on this beautiful day and I’m honored to be the prosecutor of this very important case. It is believed that on several occasions the defendant here has been robbing humanity, not once and definitely not twice and so it’s only normal that we put an end to his reign and make him pay his dues. I’m certain that at the end of this case, seeing all the evidence here, you would agree with me that he is in fact guilty of all he has been charged with and you will see to it that justice is served.

Without further ado, I call on the first witness

Witness one (mind) takes the stand

Prosecutor: points to un-forgiveness do you know this person?

Witness one: Yes

Prosecutor: Would you like to tell the court how you two are acquainted?
Witness one: I always see him lurking around humanity

Prosecutor: are you saying they’re friends?

Witness one: No, they have a parasitic relationship

Prosecutor: can you explain what you mean by that?

Witness one: He always comes empty handed and leaves with a few things…

Prosecutor: What things?

Witness one: Things like peace of mind, happiness and the likes

Prosecutor: Any other observations?

Witness One: His presence brings about an ill feeling of unease, whenever he comes around, humanity is left in a state of guilt and regret. Since then, I have watched my beloved friend continuously fight a losing battle.

Prosecutor: Would that be all?

Witness one: Yes sir

Prosecutor: Thank you,You may leave the stand

I call on the second witness; Heart

Prosecutor: How are you feeling today?

Witness two: A little tired but I’m excited to see justice be served

Prosecutor: so you agree that the defendant here is a thief?

Witness two: Of course

Witness two: The defendant here is an old time enemy of mine

Prosecutor: Really? How so?

Witness two: We go back a long way and I’ve never known him to do something good which is why I usually pay attention during his visit of doom, I watched him take away precious gems like trust and love, always leaving feelings of disapproval in his wake

Prosecutor: If you knew about this then why didn’t you say something?

Witness two: When I confronted him, he threatened to kill me off and blame it on a heart disease

Prosecutor: So you were afraid of him?

Witness two: I think i had a reason to be

Prosecutor: I understand that you were scared for your life but surely there was something you could do or someone you could tell?

Witness two: As I stated earlier, I don’t happen to fancy death and even if I made an attempt to talk to someone they wouldn’t have listened

Prosecutor: why do you assume that?

Witness two: Well, people have been warned never to listen to their heart so my hands were tied

Prosecutor: I see…                                         
 
I have no further questions, thank you for your time
You may leave the stand

Cross examination by defense

The defense will like to question the second witness

Defense: You mentioned earlier that the defendant is your enemy, right?

Witness two: Yes

Defense: Is it possible that your internal hate for my client is what fueled your testimony here today?

Witness two: I would never lie for personal reasons

Defense: But you’re friends with the victim, clearly your friendship influenced your stand here today?

Witness two: Yes, I would never go through this hassle for someone I don’t like but the truth remains that your client is evil and I’m simply bringing that to light

Defense: Is that so?

Witness two: Yes of course

Defense: No further questions

Closing argument

Judge: Any further arguments?

Prosecutor: After hearing from our witnesses, I’m sure the jury have no doubt in their mind as to whether the defendant here is guilty and i trust them to make the right decision

Defense: I remain of the notion that my client is not guilty
The witnesses here today simply can’t be trusted. The first witness is clearly based on speculation and the latter based on deep internal hatred for my client.
If at all my client was guilty, I presume that the victim merited it.

Prosecutor: How so?

Defense: My client didn’t make them commit the crimes that landed the victim in his hands. He simply did what was required of him

Prosecutor: So using their past actions to cage them was required of him?

Defense: Stop being so sentimental
Your client committed wrong and is being punished for it

Prosecutor: Is it your client’s duty to punish those who do wrong?

Defense: Isn’t that why we’re here today?
To see to it that wrongdoers don’t go unpunished?
My client was only helping matters by doing the needful

Prosecutor: Didn’t you say your client wasn’t guilty?

Judge: *hits his gavel*                           
That’s enough
The jury will now proceed to the jury room to make their decision.

We just witnessed the trial of the century, who do you think had a better case, the defense or the prosecutor?

What will be the final verdict?
