Novel & Cerita Prosecutors Badge Ace Attorney

And most importantly, four: Ace knew he was being watched and followed, and yet he still wanted to kill those frat assholes for me. I sighed, looking at the woman. If I was a qualified lawyer working for the DA would I have taken her husband's case? Would I have proven her guilty beyond a shadow of doubt and sent her to prison? Even after knowing the kind of man her husband was to her and their kid, would sending her to jail be justice?

"Blake, Aloe—the judge is known for being thorough and fair. Judge Reeves doesn't like prosecutorial misconduct, but she also doesn't like dismissing federal indictments lightly. We need to be perfect in there." "Is Heron here?" I asked. "Via video conference from Montreal. She's testifying remotely with immunity deal contingent on truthful testimony." Margaret checked her watch. "Prosecutors brought their A-team Chen plus two senior attorneys from the criminal division. They're not going down without fight." In the courtroom, I sat at the defense table feeling surreal mixture of hope and dread. My ankle monitor pressed against my leg under dress pants, reminder that I was still technically

“And don’t forget my offer. If there’s anything I can do to help you in your research, let me know,” With the jacket hanging over his arm, Rachel could see the designer label stitched to the lining. Knowing Mark, the gesture was intentional, so Rachel went along with the game and complimented him on his attire. “I didn’t realize the deputy district attorney’s expense account included Armani. Maybe I did leave the D.A.’s office too soon.” Like a peacock strutting its plume, Mark proudly put on the jacket, brushed off the sleeves and adjusted the lapel. “I’m not just the Deputy D.A. today, Rachel. You’re looking at a federally appointed special prosecutor. Got the call a few hours ago, and I h

After a long pause, she finally managed to ask, obvious doubt in her voice, "Are you Mr. Sage Perkins?" I nodded. "Take a seat, Ms. Stafford. I think you've mistaken. I'm a prosecutor. I don't serve private interests." As though she didn't hear me, she threw me a judging look. "Are you really a prosecutor? How confident are you about winning the case?" She did not even bother hiding her doubt in my professionalism. Having had enough of her arrogance, Dakota defended me. "Ms. Stafford, Mr. Perkins is one of the top prosecutors in the field. If you could stop wasting his time—"

The prosecution's office smells like recycled air and burned coffee, and there are three of them waiting for me when I arrive Thursday morning. Lead prosecutor Adriana Colts is not what I expected. She's compact and precise, somewhere in her mid-forties, with the kind of eyes that don't blink enough. The two associates flanking her are young and quiet and taking notes before anyone has said anything worth noting. I like that about them. I like people who understand that preparation is a form of respect.

She picked it up. A calm male voice came through. “Miss Lewis, hello. I’m your attorney, Ace Reed. “The evidence we gathered is enough to hold Miss Carter in custody for a few days. If you have any specific requests, feel free to let me know.” Autumn glanced at the dense lines of code on her screen, momentarily dazed. Ace was probably the lawyer Keith had helped her find—rumored to be one of Sinclair Group’s top legal minds. Keith really had gone all out to repay her uncle’s life-saving kindness.

“Are you now accusing licensed bounty hunters of coercing people to press charges? What kind of madness are you on about? And besides that, I already said - these charges can easily be corroborated.” “Easily, perhaps yes. Officially, I don’t think so. Unless you would rather delay the trial again? You know, so you can do some extra paperwork?” The prosecutor curled his hand into a fist, and his annoyance at the defense attorney became clear as day on his face. If he let the case go into limbo now, there was no telling how long it would take to get back into a courtroom. If ever.

The slight twitch in his jaw. He was nervous. Good. "Not guilty, Your Honor." His lead attorney stood. "My client maintains his innocence on all charges." "Very well. Prosecution, you may begin." The district attorney—a woman named Sarah Chen—rose. Mid-forties, fierce reputation, and a record of winning high-profile cases.

"I'm calling Rachel. We do this right, with security, with precautions." Rachel agreed to meet them at Katherine Ross's office the following morning with a full security detail. She also ran a background check on the attorney overnight. "She's legitimate," Rachel reported over the phone that evening. "Partner at Morrison and Ross, specializes in estate law and probate. No criminal record, no known connections to Mirabel or the Carsons. Whatever she has to tell you appears to be genuine legal business." The next morning, Lucy and William arrived at the law firm with Rachel and two agents. The office was in a sleek downtown high-rise, all glass and chrome and expensive art.

"Damien's was personal; I used him because he was accessible and trusted. This one is institutional. Someone with access to the prosecutor's office or the legal team's broader communication." "Not Margaux," she said before he could. "But Margaux uses associates. The Luxembourg specialist. Maxine's team. Petra's team." "Someone in the expanded circle," he said. "Yes." She looked at him steadily. "The piece won't stick. My departure is documentable as voluntary, and the misconduct characterization is demonstrably false. Phoebe will issue a correction demand within the hour. But the intent isn't to make it stick; the intent is to put the word "disgraced" in a sentence with my name in every publ
