“So, Doctor Parker, you would say that my client, Miss Channing, is of unstable state of mind?” Miranda asked her witness.
“I believe that Miss Channing suffers from a severe mental handicap that will only be cured with intensive psycho-therapy.”
“Thank you, Doctor Parker,” Miranda said, “No further questions, Your Honor.”
“Doctor Parker,” Tina began, standing up, “Would a patient with a severe mental handicap be able to have complete understanding of their actions?”
“No, they wouldn’t have any control of what they were doing.”
“Yet, despite her severe mental handicap, Miss Channing actually managed to pen down the exact actions which were taken to commit the murders. Your Honor, the FBI had searched Miss Channing’s house to have found these transcripts, each one clearly states, in detail, how she tortured each victim. We even found a contract with a publisher with plans to sell the rights of her work for a book. If I may, Your Honor, I have the transcripts with me, together with the contract. May I approach the bench?”
“Yes, you may, Miss Kennard.”
Tina handed over the evidence to Judge Woodruff.
“The FB I also found that Miss Channing had a substantial number of books in her home, which circle around the different types of killing styles. Doctor Parker, if Miss Channing had truly been mentally handicapped during the murders, would she have been able to clearly remember and write down each and every incidents detail to the T?”
“Objection, Your Honor, she’s leading the witness.”
“Overruled, please answer the question Doctor Parker.”
“No, she would not have been able to clearly remember every incident. Nor have enough mental capability to state it down on paper.”
“Prosecution rests, Your Honor.”
“We will adjourn, and come back for closing statements from both sides.”

“So how did it go,” Bette asked as she saw Tina walking into her office.
“I’m not sure yet, we’re just adjourning shortly for closing statements. We have to keep our fingers crossed, B. Shall we call Gen in to run through our closing statement again?”
Bette immediately picked up her phone and dialed Gen’s private office extension, “Hey Gen, could you come over to my office for a moment, Tina wants to run through the closing statement.”

hmm it’s getting good, beautiful update, not complaining ne more, will sit by and wait(smile) i’m a patient fan..but ur killing here with the cliff-hangers
Yay I’m first again lol. Now that were some very good arguments Tina put out there. i really hope the jury will see it the same way and convict this Adele character for the rest of her life or even to the electric chair. But even if she got convicted I don’t know if Bette will get an ease of mind cause after all it won’t bring her sister back and it won’t take away the awful experience she had to go through. She’s being strong now but I guess she will get the consequences of all this afterwards, it wouldn’t be bad for her to go see a therapist to deal with it all. I also hope Gen will finally make up her mind and give Bette all the support she needs. Thanks for posting hun, it was a joy reading as always :)
I’ve been enjoying this story from the beginning and hope that Gen decides what she wants from Bette and just goes for it! One thing–leading questions are perfectly permissible during a cross-examination of a witness (Tina cross examining the doctor). It’s the tool you use to make sure all the relevant testimony comes out!
