"Strudel" said the judge. "Do you admit to harassing Tom?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6thLCjx5Gj
"I did not harass him, Judge Rudy" said Strudel.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKXqfePych
"Objection, your honor!" Tom's lawyer, Ron, stood up.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrecdyynv6u
"I have an objection to make!" said Strudel. "Nobody ever told me about a lawyer!"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz9yL13aAg
"Here I am" Stick walked in.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F9nYrJfZU
"Stick?" said Strudel. "You're my lawyer?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDET9PlC6R
"Yep" said Stick.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdCQUKEKG0
"Objection, your honor" said Tom's dad.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiGXHY2Fpe
"Stick is his lawyer" said Rudy. "Deal with it"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5KzRC01R4
Stick stepped up to the podium. "Waffles, is it true that Tom threw a rock at Strudel's car in your driveway?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm8EE1aDwQ
"Yes" Waffles said immediately.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZPEzyQHM
Tom's mom looked over at Waffles sweetly.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjFP2nIYDe
"But-" Waffles hesitated. "But Strudel punched him first"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ccOufHfh
Tom's mom broke down into tears.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CTwHaejfz
"Strudel" said Ron. "Did you or did you not beat up Tom?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRWwCsME9k
"I did" said Strudel. "But he was trespassing"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf08uuTRLq
Ib spoke up. "Tom was"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDek8yc8RD
"No one gave that boy permission to speak" said Tom's dad.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3tnWbjRn5
"Your side has an advantage of one extra person" said Stick.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7tHdiV3ag
"That doesn't matter" said Tom's dad. "He still had no permission to speak"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUBB5qWrkJ
"Order in the court!" shouted Rudy. "Strudel has no father, and Tom does. Would you like to leave, Mr. Tom's Dad?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHwUg6128v
"No ma'am" said Tom's dad.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSeCdF3222
"Then hush" said Rudy.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpJRR4aB9G
"Tom's Mom" said Stick. "What is it that you have there?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbloHPhOpI
"Tom's last art project" said Tom's mom, holding up the drawing with the shoeprint, which was also stained with Tom's blood.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREytrbKsXK
"Is that supposed to be you?" Pearl whispered to Strudel.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZgcwfnbM
"Ahem" said Rudy. "Something you'd like to say?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09YcYHtlaE
"That's a vury good drawing" Ib spoke up.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSrT5pQ1wq
"It's Strudel" said Pearl.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4NkVBVzJp
"Yeah" said Waffles. "It's Strudel, me, Tom, and Pia"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBhrkyFX2
Tom's mom burst into tears.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYM5O9CGbw
"Order in the court!" Rudy banged her gavel on the table.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fPZSY8pS
"Strudel" Ron began.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nSZXut67o
"Yes?" said Strudel.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLQuj0ZLit
"Is it true that you harassed Tom?" said Ron.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDGVWh0x9
"I DIDN'T harass him!" said Strudel. "I already said that!"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72JCnfgJjs
"Objection!" Stick stood up.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gxrwGaH6j
"Stick" said Strudel. "Do you even know what you're doing?"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPjR7TiwrN
"No, I do not" Stick admitted.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyTjd9uzPz
Doreen & Fiona chuckled from the jury.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iiqm93sCk
"He threw a rock at my car!" Strudel argued defensively.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB2K2oNT2G
"And why would my son do that?" Tom's dad asked angrily.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpqhooJl1s
"Because Tom stalked me!" Waffles blurted out.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9jaJtY1lK
"Waffles" Tom's dad hissed. "Just to let you know, we are paying you $800 to defend TOM, not Strudel."
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexHnD2W1pn
"You paid her?" said Stick. "I object!"
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eU559Fp8U
"Order!" Rudy banged her gavel again.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nbRQFpvrC
"I don't care" said Waffles. "Tom was a total stalker. Strudel saved me from him. And Stick's right, because I object, too. Tom's parents, you can't try and bribe me. I never liked your son. I always thought he was a freak"
