Two months in jail. The name shouting re-starts. The young, good-looking lady with the smooth legs won her case against her two, absent female cousins, who she accused of beating her, scratching her, tearing off her top and exposing her breasts in public one Saturday morning a year ago. The cousins picked the wrong day not to appear in court. One time, when the whispers among the officers begin to compete with the dialogue between Prosecutor and witness, the Prosecutor applies to have one of the young cops kicked out of the courtroom.
Silence comes upon the court.
A man, escorted by police, walks in with a head and wrist wound and holding a T-shirt stained with overnight blood. He is directed to sit and wait on a side bench. He is later followed by several sombre-faced women of various ages. When the wounded man is asked to step forward it turns out that he is charged with threatening to stab the older woman in the group and burn down her house. While the Prosecutor enlightens the Magistrate the man makes a few attempts to interest the Magistrate with the story behind the blood-stained shirt, but the prosecutor hastens to inform the Magistrate that the man has broken a bond imposed by the court to stay away from the property of the lady he stands accused of threatening.
