Judge Russell enters the courtroom as
everyone rises.  Once he was seated he
looks to Jack and Jason “I see we are all here so let’s get started.  Mr. Kramer I believe you are up.”

Jack stands up “Thank you your
honor.  I would like to begin by calling
Ms. Christine Kennard to the stand.”

Tina stands tentatively makes her way
to the witness chair.  The bailiff
quickly swears her in and Tina sits down. 
 

Tina looks nervous as she sits on the
edge of the chair while Jack approaches her. 
“Ms. Kennard you are the pregnant woman in the pictures in question are
you not?”

“Yes”

“Were you aware that the pictures were
being taken?”

“Only the picture in the delivery
room.  All the rest were a surprise to
me.”

“Did you authorize the pictures?”

“I’m not sure what you mean.  If by authorizing you mean did I agree to
have them placed in a public exhibition, NO. 
I did agree to have a photographer in the delivery room to take pictures
for my private consumption only.”

“But you signed a waiver releasing your
rights to these pictures to Ms. Peabody.”

“No I never signed such a waiver.”

“But I have it right here.  Is this your signature?”  Jack hands Tina the waiver.

“Yes it looks like my signature but I
did not sign it.”

“So how did it get signed?”

“I do not know.  The date on the waiver is the day that I was
released from the hospital with my baby. 
The only paperwork I signed that day was the release from the hospital.”

“Just so I’m clear you are sure that
you did not sign this waiver and have never seen it before it was presented to
you at MOCA.”

“Yes that is correct.”

“That is all I have for now but I may
recall this witness in rebuttal.” Jack says walking back to the table.

Jason quickly stands but does not
approach Tina.  “Do you want us to
believe that just because you can’t remember signing that the waiver that you
didn’t sign it”

“I didn’t sign that waiver.”

“But you admit the signature looks like
yours?”

“Yes but I didn’t sign it.”

“Well how can you be so sure you didn’t
sign it how else would your signature get on the waiver?”
