"Strudel" said the judge. "Do you admit to harassing Tom?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9F128TE2A
"I did not harass him, Judge Rudy" said Strudel.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiTH37TS9C
"Objection, your honor!" Tom's lawyer, Ron, stood up.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFHXZbiBt
"I have an objection to make!" said Strudel. "Nobody ever told me about a lawyer!"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0IH1uiLDD
"Here I am" Stick walked in.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACk567C7IO
"Stick?" said Strudel. "You're my lawyer?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGhekSA1sN
"Yep" said Stick.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ILWc25FM1
"Objection, your honor" said Tom's dad.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZXFnJZj3A
"Stick is his lawyer" said Rudy. "Deal with it"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPxtEaino
Stick stepped up to the podium. "Waffles, is it true that Tom threw a rock at Strudel's car in your driveway?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdAGd4Usg
"Yes" Waffles said immediately.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEXSVYx2M8
Tom's mom looked over at Waffles sweetly.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2XjrA7qD
"But-" Waffles hesitated. "But Strudel punched him first"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhUMJMrB0L
Tom's mom broke down into tears.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zjTqhntgL
"Strudel" said Ron. "Did you or did you not beat up Tom?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlAOK4T9fw
"I did" said Strudel. "But he was trespassing"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6h3wbPNq7
Ib spoke up. "Tom was"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k3Qe1ZBiS
"No one gave that boy permission to speak" said Tom's dad.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgbVzfCkOd
"Your side has an advantage of one extra person" said Stick.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRLF5WOTbl
"That doesn't matter" said Tom's dad. "He still had no permission to speak"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcWrl4UaS3
"Order in the court!" shouted Rudy. "Strudel has no father, and Tom does. Would you like to leave, Mr. Tom's Dad?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd1c6xxfnV
"No ma'am" said Tom's dad.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdPZP1suE
"Then hush" said Rudy.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQilFAGvqZ
"Tom's Mom" said Stick. "What is it that you have there?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnerraggvT5
"Tom's last art project" said Tom's mom, holding up the drawing with the shoeprint, which was also stained with Tom's blood.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVBuHlK8F0
"Is that supposed to be you?" Pearl whispered to Strudel.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2glPdYetio
"Ahem" said Rudy. "Something you'd like to say?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUdPr8fSAp
"That's a vury good drawing" Ib spoke up.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMxvSv0nYK
"It's Strudel" said Pearl.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9uY547HNj
"Yeah" said Waffles. "It's Strudel, me, Tom, and Pia"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD70yT6uL6l
Tom's mom burst into tears.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzK4594z0
"Order in the court!" Rudy banged her gavel on the table.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8mvwr11Xn
"Strudel" Ron began.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFEgOXYKrc
"Yes?" said Strudel.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF4sZqFl8u
"Is it true that you harassed Tom?" said Ron.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1qgXpvz9
"I DIDN'T harass him!" said Strudel. "I already said that!"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgmtUsJxs
"Objection!" Stick stood up.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ7ovI1Run
"Stick" said Strudel. "Do you even know what you're doing?"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldCjrj4Gxv
"No, I do not" Stick admitted.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY2MiCCuCH
Doreen & Fiona chuckled from the jury.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpCSmdIPkb
"He threw a rock at my car!" Strudel argued defensively.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad5IpDcCVU
"And why would my son do that?" Tom's dad asked angrily.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqGh4ytCgs
"Because Tom stalked me!" Waffles blurted out.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XZlGKfx4V
"Waffles" Tom's dad hissed. "Just to let you know, we are paying you $800 to defend TOM, not Strudel."
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGE2K5L5hh
"You paid her?" said Stick. "I object!"
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fE3gaGgj
"Order!" Rudy banged her gavel again.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6To4ZPGNLD
"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"
