"Strudel" said the judge. "Do you admit to harassing Tom?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN51Oxma60
"I did not harass him, Judge Rudy" said Strudel.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjSp2h1smL
"Objection, your honor!" Tom's lawyer, Ron, stood up.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggRj5PrI3u
"I have an objection to make!" said Strudel. "Nobody ever told me about a lawyer!"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1tp1pEmz
"Here I am" Stick walked in.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOOlXsKJzr
"Stick?" said Strudel. "You're my lawyer?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07vKS8sCDT
"Yep" said Stick.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24PSGCzBcq
"Objection, your honor" said Tom's dad.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEMPJr2sAF
"Stick is his lawyer" said Rudy. "Deal with it"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ld97WTGQx
Stick stepped up to the podium. "Waffles, is it true that Tom threw a rock at Strudel's car in your driveway?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AYb0SmLy
"Yes" Waffles said immediately.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFl0NMm2M3
Tom's mom looked over at Waffles sweetly.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt08RI1mWzR
"But-" Waffles hesitated. "But Strudel punched him first"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKBr8KzwNr
Tom's mom broke down into tears.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxilMtVPCQ
"Strudel" said Ron. "Did you or did you not beat up Tom?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h8Bfhtu0z
"I did" said Strudel. "But he was trespassing"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzpB3R4wTD
Ib spoke up. "Tom was"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L6EChq0jO
"No one gave that boy permission to speak" said Tom's dad.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNAePIwj3
"Your side has an advantage of one extra person" said Stick.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5al4Thzxif
"That doesn't matter" said Tom's dad. "He still had no permission to speak"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlktI99QZVE
"Order in the court!" shouted Rudy. "Strudel has no father, and Tom does. Would you like to leave, Mr. Tom's Dad?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikmzDPFrvz
"No ma'am" said Tom's dad.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPHkf54ZG
"Then hush" said Rudy.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Awpnoc9bG
"Tom's Mom" said Stick. "What is it that you have there?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlVcUWrBJo
"Tom's last art project" said Tom's mom, holding up the drawing with the shoeprint, which was also stained with Tom's blood.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9D0ahgKl9
"Is that supposed to be you?" Pearl whispered to Strudel.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMISJcESaKK
"Ahem" said Rudy. "Something you'd like to say?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtAr3ondkK
"That's a vury good drawing" Ib spoke up.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8qyfuFLrz
"It's Strudel" said Pearl.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ordwHeaCa
"Yeah" said Waffles. "It's Strudel, me, Tom, and Pia"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9IA9yK1I
Tom's mom burst into tears.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ670lqjENWL
"Order in the court!" Rudy banged her gavel on the table.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm9Otszwst
"Strudel" Ron began.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gcen8Snil
"Yes?" said Strudel.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5PDq0Gqya
"Is it true that you harassed Tom?" said Ron.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd5AqnA1uA
"I DIDN'T harass him!" said Strudel. "I already said that!"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTC5PLJlK
"Objection!" Stick stood up.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFPML6OgP
"Stick" said Strudel. "Do you even know what you're doing?"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfR9xM2VIf
"No, I do not" Stick admitted.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb7Z4xYfhJ
Doreen & Fiona chuckled from the jury.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYzAYxtVai
"He threw a rock at my car!" Strudel argued defensively.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCRRGSPfpL
"And why would my son do that?" Tom's dad asked angrily.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPu4v5FGCB
"Because Tom stalked me!" Waffles blurted out.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGVOeHnVyk
"Waffles" Tom's dad hissed. "Just to let you know, we are paying you $800 to defend TOM, not Strudel."
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemfa21W0mZ
"You paid her?" said Stick. "I object!"
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jZL3RSJa
"Order!" Rudy banged her gavel again.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRibAhyFJuH
"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"
