Later an ambulance came and cleared the corpse.my lawyer still came back to discuss somethings with me.Well none of them had courage to put me into another cell so i walked over to the counter and sat there till it was time for the court hearing
Policeman: oga time for court done reach and motor dey wait u outside……

I walked down to the black maria and got inside.in no time we were at the court premiss.i came down and i walked into the courtroom into the jury box.soon the judge was in,after all their court ceremony,he adjusted his googles and looked at me like someone watching an horror film
Judge:youngman why are you looking bloody all over
Bar. Jude:my lord,the safty of my cliant can not be guaranted in the cell, he has been detained
Judge:and why if i may ask?
