Starbolts #669: Legal Drama

 Hail! 

    The trial of Crystal Whitefox is now in high gear and it promises to be.....the shortest trial in the history of the legal system. I mean with so much evidence from a telepathic doctor, an empathic therapist and loads of other testimony there's no way Ruby Arronfeld could win the case. Unless she were to mindzap the judge that is. Don't think that hasn't crossed her mind because it totally did.

    Speaking of the judge, you've got to feel bad for the poor guy. He's getting a firsthand account of just how crazy superhero lives are. Mateo went back in time and saw Crystal getting raped by Cody as seen in Starbolts #472.  Marcus bonded with Crystal after he was possessed by Demonstorm. Jack survived D.I.S.C.O.R.D. island exploding. And let's not go into the fact that two extraterrestrials were called in to testify. Someone better get that man a drink after this trial. He may be out of his element.

    I really like how Marcus's testimony came out. It showed the love he had for Crystal in a not so obvious way. Jack's testimony was good in that he vented his true feelings. I like to think that he kept glaring at Ruby like the Winter Soldier. Just glaring at her. But, I think Carter's words probably cut her deeply. Let's not forget Ruby WAS a top tier member of Terra Nova and Carter is not afraid to voice her feelings.

    Crystal's testimony is up next. I think she will have to be considered a hostile witness. I think Val can handle her. She's doing a pretty good job as an attorney for the Whitefoxes. Sure she's new to the bench but she has skill. They may keep her on board long term. You never know.

Stay tuned for Crystal's expert testimony next time! 

See ya then!
