Killer King

    His statement charges the room with energy. The prosecution scrambles through their case notes, looking like dogs searching for a lost bones. A smile ghosts across the man's face. The judge bangs his gavel and once the room is quiet he asks, "Are you telling us you were a participant in the wharf murder, and you waited until now to tell us?"

    "No. I was just a spectator. I didn't do anything more than some heavy lifting."

    The judge looks him over and seems to decide he is being honest enough, "Very well continue."

    The attorney nods and faces the man, "Tell us about the murders you helped in."

    "I didn't do much. Mostly lifted what she couldn't, help her set up and take down."

    "What about the Englishman? As they have shown the jury, the prosecution is certain you killed him."

    The man nodded, "I did kill him but that is because he got loose and overpowered Lisa. he was going to kill her. I grabbed the closest thing to me and tried to fend him off. He wouldn't back down and I ended up stabbing him."
