Okay.
00:00:24
The defense would like to present their ultimate statement.
00:00:25
Good morning.
00:00:31
We are here today to prove the innocence of my client that's being accused of skipping
00:00:32
class for two months.
00:00:39
Elizabeth Scotch blessed Theros of not even lying about being sick but also skipping some
00:00:40
of the school days during those two months.
00:00:48
I don't know why. Maybe for her own sick benefits, to try and go on trips with her friends, or probably just hang out with some people.
00:00:51
Okay, so by the end, I want her to apologize to the school, the members of the jury, as well as some of her teachers for lying in and stealing the class. Thank you.
00:01:00
The last two months where I was sick, did you see me regularly? How was my physical condition during that time?
00:01:10
Yes, Your Honor. I have no idea who this witness is. She has to present herself and tell me how she's supported this case.
00:01:29
Ms. Alice, so can you tell me how long have you known Julieta for?
00:01:36
Since we were six months.
00:01:42
Six months? Like, you've known her for the past six months or since you were six months old?
00:01:44
No, since we were six months.
00:01:49
Six months. So, she said you were friends. Would you say best friends or just friends?
00:01:51
Best friends.
00:01:56
Oh, best friends. So you should be talking to each other often, I'm guessing, right?
00:01:57
So I'm guessing you would do anything for her, right?
00:02:03
And support her in a minor way?
00:02:07
No?
00:02:10
So you wouldn't be lying in this case at all?
00:02:11
So you wouldn't lie for her or do anything to help her in any case?
00:02:14
It depends.
00:02:19
It depends.
00:02:20
Right? Thank you. That's all.
00:02:22
Okay.
00:02:24
Did they mess up her daily routine? Like she can't do...
00:02:24
Oh yes, she missed to her soccer, to her sport, some days.
00:02:41
Did your sister go out with friends or...
00:02:48
When she was sick.
00:02:54
Yeah.
00:02:56
No.
00:02:57
No? Okay.
00:02:58
Or December.
00:02:59
three months it could be october november or december so you don't remember what your sister
00:03:01
the one you lived with you don't remember when she was sick but you remember she asked for homework
00:03:05
she was sick during november and december during november and december you fully showed up there
00:03:10
i thought and did they give you a little stick on their breakfast proofs yeah proof did you
00:03:16
present them to the jury together and they actually didn't really tell me when i could
00:03:33
to present the proof, so.
00:03:38
I'm Frank Spook, the father of the accused.
00:03:51
Can I take the question, too, Alex?
00:03:58
Yes, you may.
00:04:00
Okay, first of all, are you my father and guardian?
00:04:01
I hope so.
00:04:07
Is that a yes?
00:04:09
Yes, I am.
00:04:10
Okay, were you aware that I was sick
00:04:11
during these two months?
00:04:15
I was very aware that you were sick during these two months.
00:04:17
Did you observe my condition personally?
00:04:21
Unfortunately, yes.
00:04:25
Did you believe I was generally sick?
00:04:28
I did.
00:04:32
I did.
00:04:33
It was a frustrating time because you
00:04:35
were sick on and off from September through December.
00:04:39
five times in total, two to the other.
00:04:44
This is agreed to the medical thing, right?
00:04:46
Yes.
00:04:50
But you also said, if you're happy with the last three
00:04:51
months, we are in February, so that would be December,
00:04:54
January, and February, what is it?
00:04:56
A person that's involved in the school,
00:05:09
that enjoys school.
00:05:11
Definitely a person who, or at least it seems like
00:05:13
she looks forward to every day, she participates
00:05:17
as much as she can, she's in every program possible.
00:05:19
I don't think she wanted to skip school on purpose.
00:05:22
Did I actually talk to you when I was sick?
00:05:26
Like, did we text?
00:05:28
I remember you complaining once about how
00:05:31
you had to catch up with everything
00:05:34
and that you didn't feel good at all
00:05:36
because I remember telling you to meet up
00:05:38
and you said you couldn't.
00:05:40
I was sick, right?
00:05:42
And you were trying to meet up for like two to three months
00:05:43
and you couldn't because I was sick the whole time, right?
00:05:46
Yeah.
00:05:49
OK, that's all I remember.
00:05:50
say the three years that you've been here and met her fairly recently after after she arrived
00:05:59
i know her family as well and during the time your daughter was sick do you remember her
00:06:07
anyway that's a good question let me think um i don't actually and it was and it was
00:06:12
heartbreaking for her because she's very active that's true so during those two or three months
00:06:24
She was sick a few days from school.
00:06:31
Now, I don't know if you remember, but last Wednesday, February 11th, at 11.57am, she was actually asking you about her absences in school.
00:06:44
Is that the question? I don't remember if the exact time was 11.57, but I do remember her asking me and it would have been last Wednesday because that's when we prepared for today, so yes, I suppose that's correct.
00:06:57
Now, there are those two or three months where she couldn't see her friends, missed soccer practice.
00:07:14
How many times was she absent?
00:07:21
If you remember her being absent enough for your license, this is concerning.
00:07:22
I can't recall for the life of me how many times she was off class.
00:07:26
I do remember, I don't know if this is particularly relevant to the case or not,
00:07:30
but I do remember an email from her family saying they were sorry she'd missed so many classes in the past few weeks.
00:07:35
She herself, the defendant herself, came to me after she, I guess, discontinued the absences
00:07:46
to tell me that she had been very sick and that had been the reason why she'd been away from class for so long.
00:07:53
And I remember thinking that it hadn't been as long, to my mind, it hadn't, at least as two months.
00:08:01
As two months.
00:08:10
So it's possible that even though she was sick for two or three months, she probably only missed school one or two.
00:08:11
And now for her teacher, I'm guessing she's one of your top priority students, right?
00:08:20
So if she misses school for two or three months, you wouldn't notice that she's acid.
00:08:24
so I'm guessing it wasn't really two or three months like she's saying you know it was probably
00:08:28
one day or two where one of her favorite teachers would notice what he did that's all
00:08:34
okay hey would you like to cross examine yes so I don't know if you well how long have I been
00:08:40
your student for? Is this the fifth month of the year? I can't remember. Yes, so five
00:08:51
months, yes, this September. Would you think of me as a responsible student? Would I think
00:08:58
of you as a responsible student? Absolutely so, yes. From the past years, where you wanted
00:09:05
me to be your student, did you hear good stuff about me? Was there any bad feedback that
00:09:12
would make you think that I was actually skipping class? Not that I'm aware of, no. Okay, I don't know if you remember, but my different episodes, I would have like a peak of being really sick, and then I would be fine for two to three days, and then I would have another peak, so I did come to class, do you remember that? I do remember that, because at the time, I was sick myself,
00:09:19
I think towards the end of September or beginning of October I remember us
00:09:49
sharing how we felt one day we were both in class and we were under strong
00:09:56
medication both of us and we and we said how the bad weather or viruses going
00:10:02
around was probably giving us that
00:10:08
I wasn't aware that it had been two months, as I said earlier, but yes, I do remember
00:10:19
that at the start of the year you did miss some lessons.
00:10:26
That's what I was thinking.
00:10:29
Okay. Mr. Ruben, you may step down.
00:10:31
Thanks.
00:10:35
Would the defense like to make a closing statement?
00:10:44
Your Honor, a member of the jury, today we have proved the innocence of my client with the help of the witness and the medical documents that stand that his coat was sealed during those two moments.
00:10:53
Would you like for the prosecution to say sorry if your client is proven innocent?
00:11:06
Once proven innocent, we would like to call a victim.
00:11:14
Your Honor, members of the jury, I don't think they've actually proven any innocence.
00:11:21
Just remembering that a lot of the evidence they brought, they didn't really show it to court beforehand or even to you guys.
00:11:28
So that really can be held for court.
00:11:34
And with some of the witnesses, they couldn't remember or know exactly when she was sick or how long.
00:11:38
So I think they didn't really have the evidence or the witnesses to support their claim.
00:11:46
And that's all, thank you.
00:11:51
What would you like to eat?
00:11:53
And I would like a pizza bed.
00:11:55
You asked for an apology before.
