Thread: I wasn't always a bad girl (eDomme and I)

eDomme said Vanessa breezed into the big city DA office complex amid the greetings of the various junior lawyers junior, despite the fact many of them were older than her and clerical personnel. She wore one of her standard navy pin-striped power suits with 3 heels and a creme colored blouse that hinted to the men that if they were close enough and bold enough, they might get to peek at a hint of cleavage. Good morning, everyone. Julie, I'm going to need to reschedule the meeting with Barnes ... Tom, see me before lunch to fill me in on the status of the Shaw case ... James ... new tie? Someday you're going to regret not putting all that money into a sounder investment. James and his tie collection was getting to be a standing joke in the department. Just before stepping into her office, she turned back to the paralegal with the tie fetish. Oh, and James, can you bring me what you've dug up on so far on the Johnson case .. and print out a copy of that court ruling on the State vs. Brady. Just the thought of staring at a computer screen all morning gave her a headache, and she involuntarily reached up to rub her eyes before settling in to her desk. More and more she was asking to see the paper printouts of things she had previously simply read on the computer monitor. Julie, her secretary, was a true marvel. It was as if she appeared out of nowhere with a freshly brewed cup of tea for the boss lady and informed her the bigger boss, District Attorney John Andrews, called to say he wouldn't be in the office this morning. That was nothing new. Vanessa discretely examined her wrist, injured the previous evening in an encounter with a punk attempting to rob a convenience store. The would-be robber managed to get away, but at least she foiled the robbery. She knew she would be a much better superheroine if she didn't have that damned problem with her night vision. Vanessa wondered if she should risk trying to concoct a formula to enhance her vision and her body's ability to heal quickly. Of course it was academic, not a practical plan, since she no longer had access to the university lab. Click to expand... He looks at the tie and wondered why he was the laughing stock of the department the tie went with the suit and the shirt. In the short time that he had worked here he was with the biggest players in the game. He had learned a lot for Vanessa and it was hard to call her boss, he was the same age, but he didnt mind his work, he liked the law, which was sort of ironic due to the fact that he broke it all the time during the late hours of the night. He walks into his office which was filled with accolades from high school and his Master degree in Criminal Justice notably in forensic science, his family came from a line of criminal investigators and he was expected to do the same, but he wanted some things to be different, so he decided to be a paralegal. He puts his earphones and then puts Written in the Stars By Tinie Tempah he was now in the zone. He looks at the pictures in the Johnson case and he noticed some things that were out of place and he heard some testimonies and then looks at the picture, some blood was not consistent with blunt force trauma and he printed out the Brady vs. the State. He zoned out and he was in the inner confines of his mind recreating the crime scene, Okay Johnson says he wasnt along, yet eyewitnesses he was the only one leaving the house, but that doesnt explain this blood. He tells himself. He thinks for a minute, They must have been another person in the room that committed the actual crime, but who. He tells himself. He hears a office, Vanessa is waiting for those files Her assistant says. He snaps out of it and heads to Vanessas room and knocks then enters without permission. He walks into her office and slams his things and opens the file, Hey boss lady, Johnson is innocent. He tells her. He walks next to and shows her the crime scene and points to the blood that he had circled in black, Johnson gave sworn testimony that he wasnt the only one that was there right I think he was right... Since he was covered in blood Anna Gilroy the next door neighbor called the police as Johnson fled. Anna Gilroy was the only one awake because her baby woke her up, while the police were in pursuit of Johnson a second person could have fled, but then she called again telling them that someone left the house after she called. That is exculpatory evidence and I didnt hear that mentioned at the court at all today. They withheld that from use and according to State vs. Brady this should be taking into consideration. In the case The Supreme Court held that withholding exculpatory evidence violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment and the court determined that under Maryland state law the withheld evidence could not have exculpated the defendant but was material to the level of punishment he would be given. Hence the Maryland Court of Appeals' ruling was affirmed. He tells her. He opens the file on the case and points out to what he said. He pauses, So in other words the blood proves his innocence to murder and the fact of Anna Gilroy's statements to the police, he should be getting tried for breaking and entering with the intent to steal. He tells her. He was proud of his work and looks at her and leaves her office and heads to his office, for once his family background proved to be use full and he was glad You know state vs. Brady is an actual case right?
