Y4H: Tell them why (10d)
From Create Your Own Story
You: Well, since you ask, look at the evidence. Agent Fuzz-dick said the big fence's girlfriend had Phil's last name - Chital. That's quite a coincidence! And whoever had that spur must've hid it in his ass, and cut it up. And remember, when my lawyer asked Phil to show his ass, he got all defensive? He had something to hide! In his ass.
DA: Most people do!
You: Well, I don't. I'll show you mine, and you'll see... [You start to get up]
Judge: NO, YOU WON'T! I've already ruled on that. Keep it right there in the chair.
You: Yes, your honor. [Too bad.]
DA: Let me ask you about something else. Did you get arrested?
You: Yes.
DA: And did you have to go to jail?
You: I did.
DA: Spent the night in there?
Her favorite subject, it seems...
You: Yes.
DA: And who made your bail?
You: My girlfriend, Whitley.
DA: And it was pretty urgent for you to get out of there?
You: Huh?
DA: I mean, you let her know you needed out as fast as possible.
Hmm. You think you can see what she's driving at. Nothing really happened in jail. But maybe if you give her what she wants now, she'll be satisfied, and not be so worried about keeping you inside. And you might get a little more sympathy from the jury that way.
On the other hand, mom always said "honesty is the best policy." 'course, Phil was lying his big butt off to get you in. But would a lie like this really help to get you out? Your lawyer did tell you one useful thing - if you sit around thinking of what to say, you'll look like a liar. So you'd better start talking one way or another.
