(The defendant swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth)
In day two of Room 125 vs. David, the defendant had the chance to take the stand and answer the charges against him. Dressed in his trademark striped shirt, David put up a startling defense to explain his misadventures. His responses ranged from blaming other people, “The other kid started the food fight,” to forgetfulness, “I ran outside naked because I forgot I wasn’t wearing clothes.” As the attorney’s confronted David with the evidence against him, he clearly had come to court prepared. Telling the jury that he had skateboarded and played baseball in the house “because it was raining out,” David tried to persuade the jury with logical reasons for his behavior. But, in the end, David’s future will be in the hands of the jury…and only they will be able to decide his fate.
Tomorrow: The jury deliberates and reaches its verdict!
