He and his lawyer had rehearsed what he had to say but since Campbell's lawyer didn't ask the question they were waiting for, his lawyer decided to ask it.'You have been accused of abducting a young pregnant lady on the night of December 28th. Can you really tell us what happened on that day?''Yes, if you please'.

The next day, at the appointed time, the court sat again and Jason Campbell was asked to take the stand and he answered the questions to the best if his ability after he had taken the oath.His lawyer had asked him not to display any unwarranted emotion and apart from the anger seen in his eyes, his voice was devoid of emotion until it got to the stage of Nancy calling out to the police to help him which led to her head injury and why she had Amnesia.Mean we hike because of the events at the hospital, his lawyer had advised them to take drastic measures and Rodney, when he was called, though still seething from the row he had had with his wife in the car, had remembered that Phoebe had always been of help to him, not because she was his f as n but because of her selfish purposes.He told the lawyer of her and the lawyer in turn spoke to Phoebe and they both came up with a plan.After Jason's testimony, Alfred was called to the stand and his testimony almost in line with that of Jason

Now be seated and let's do the business for which we are here and I shall entertain no more interruptions from you'.'But your Honour'....''Sit down or leave this instance!' he yelled.Jason had no option but to sit.

While they were still talking, the defence attorney walked by, 'I hope you are going to round off your case now because it is finished. The sympathy of the jury is with Richmond and your star witness has made it impossible for you to do anything further that could influence their decision.Just accept defeat and be done with it and let's save each other's time and the time if the state as well'.Hoberman looked at him with pity but refused to dignify what he had said with a response and when the already furious Jason would have reacted, he held him back, shaking his head against any violent action he might take out on the attorney.The attorney laughed and walked on with a smiling Richmond in tow.'This is what happens in court houses. You do not have to allow yourself to swallow their bait', Hoberman advised Jason. 'This is aimed at lowering the person's confidence and lead the person into making some form of mistakes that will cost the person dearly.Have you thought how this would af

It was not Nancy's fault after all but there was someone he wanted to vent. all his anger on and that was Phoebe. She was the only one who could have committed this atrocity.
