"Jill entered the building with the accused at eleven thirty p.m."

"Objection. The witness is making a presumption."

"It's on record."

The record is produced.

"Overruled. Carry on, Mr. James."

"Thank you, Your Honor. At eleven thirty-five p.m. Jill entered room seventy-eight and removed her clothes."

"Objection. That is not relevant."

"Show relevancy, Mr. James."

"Jill Harris, in her first interview, recalled removing her clothes at eleven thirty-five p.m. It's relevant because it illustrates Jill's willingness to consent."

"Can I see the record?"

The bailiff places the record on Judge Sterling's bench.

"This is admissable. Carry on, Mr. James."

"Objection, Your Honor. May I approach the bench?"

Your Honor nods wearily.

"I don't see the relevance of Ms. Harris's testimony here. She is the victim.".....(cont)
