"Mr Jennings, would you please briefly explain what happened on the day in question," I asked resignedly

"Well, first of all, hello, I’e, sounding like he was doing a public service announcement "I was hired to do promotional work for the Bucket O’ Chicken restaurant I was not inforht be verbally abused and attacked in the street!"

"Objection Nonresponsive," Braden interrupted

"Get to the point, Mr Jennings!" Judge Channing ad an calling me a murderer Like I killed the damned chickens myself! I don’t even like chicken!"

"He called you a ‘limmer of hope Maybe I could at least build a record to support a defense for trial

"Yes! He askedand served it with gravy! I was in fear for liressive moves?" I tried another tactic Maybe Orville had lasses were about six inches thick, after all

"Objection! Calls for interpretation," Braden said

"Overruled You can answer," the judge replied

"He jabbed me!" He said it like soer!" He looked trau in effect if not in for him what to say, Your Honor," Braden correctly pointed out

"Sustained," Judge Channing ruled "Don’t answer that, Mr Jennings"

"How did it ain

"I was in fear of course! God only knohere that finger had been! He looked like he hadn’t bathed in about a decade I’ll probably get a disease!"

Curiosity got the better of lanced at Braden, who, as I suspected, was biting his own finger trying desperately not to laugh He looked away so that he wouldn’t lose it

"So what happened then?"

"I defended myself by the only means available tofit behindwas a defensive move?"

"Yes!"

"Why did you chase after hi like he was searching for an answer in the very depths of his very soul "I can only assuuish" Oh, wasn’t that special? Now the chicken was a lawyer too

"And what happened with the driver of the car?"

"He tried to kill me! That vehicle was a deadly weapon in his hands and then he got out of it and yelled at me very rudely! I knew that someone that uncivilized had to be violent I did what I had to do"
