the CSO said. “Bullshit,” Dr. Umar said angrily slamming his fist on the desk as he stood up before he added: “My son remains innocent until proven guilty. Both of you have a job to do so why don’t you do it instead of seating here cooking up useless theories. We all know you have nothing on my son even if he showed up now because you have no evidence proving that he was in anyway responsible for the disappearance of Claudine Douglas. All your assumptions are worthless and based on coincidences than facts and we all know they don’t count for shit in a court of law as long as you don’t have concrete evidence proving my son was in this hospital in the early hours of today.”

"Excuse me?" "I've had it with this game you and Killian are trying to play," I said. "Eric's locked up when he's innocent but for some reason you all keep trying to find a reason to keep him there every time I bring up something that highlights his benevolence. It's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. You're treating Eric like he's guilty until proven innocent." Lee stared at me. I stared back. "Alright," he said. "You're right, Miss Allen. I apologize."

Then he bends his head back down to continue perusing the document before him. "So, we just let an innocent man go to prison?" she rebuffs. "..You don't know that he is innocent.", Joe emphasizes earnestly. "You don't know that he's not!.. #sigh.. And, like you would even agree if you knew he was. You're just doing your job. Um.. I'm sorry. I'm just.. I understand how the job works. It won't happen again." she says, before turning to leave. As she walks away, almost at the door now, Joe calls out to her, "Alice!"

I let the tears welling up as I spoke. Kudo took a deep breath in through his nose and I heard the tips of his fingers tapping on the tabletop. “I would never let an innocent person go to jail, Miss Ruiz, but I still need you to convince me that you are not guilty.” “I thought I was innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.”

I exited the room, slamming the door behind me. Samantha waited for me outside and guided me to the court room where the trial would be carried out. "Are we winning?" She asked. "Don't we always?" I smirked entering the room. The trial went well. Mr. Wilson kind of verbally assaulted me since he was mentally unstable as the judge said and named his client guilty.

Paying me wasn't something he thought cautiously as the minute we stepped out of court I checked my bank account and smiled. 'Generous' I thought.

“People in and out.” “Yes.” “And it doesn’t get… exhausting?” “No.” I watched him carefully. “Not even a little?” He met my eyes. “No.” I held his gaze. “You’re lying.” His expression didn’t change. “You’re assuming.” “I’m observing.” A pause.

Charles shouted. "Objection sustained" "Mrs. Simone, you have no right to talk to my clients that way" Charles said. "I'm sorry for that, Mr. Charles. Can we proceed?"

"And mind you, Mr. Seth Nicole is innocent until proven guilty!" Charles said. "With the evidence I have with me, he's guilty," Simone said.

“That’s right. You’re not dead, but my parents are already dead! You keep insisting that you have never once threatened my parents’ personal safety, but my parents have already passed away for almost twenty years now. Yet, you are just casually saying that it has nothing to do with you. Do you think that I’ll believe you?” Sheldon said nervously, “You can choose not to believe me, but you have to know that there is also a presumption of innocence under the law!
