The votes were in, like a shitty ass tv show, and now it was time for the ad break. The main difference between this and a tv show being that this wasn't about someone covering a good song and turning it into pulverised cow shit. But anyway, enough complaining for now.

Gerard had voted on this tv show. (Obviously stating that Carter was guilty, as he thought that if a person had not been at all involved in the crime, then that is probably what they would probably think.)
The entire jury had voted on this show.
Now they just waited for the results show.
A few members of the jury murmured nervously as the Judge and his assistants huddled together discussing the result.

Gerard still sat, he had made it through the day, almost. The only strange thing being the odd looks that the rather good looking man who stood in the corner gave him. The young intelligent looking man stood in the corner, brown hair falling in front of his distant eyes. This young man being Joel.

Gerard looked around nervously, not speaking as he was afraid that his words would stutter and fall if he tried to form any speech in his mouth. In the corner of his eye he saw someone; stood next to the man who had been giving him strange looks. Quite short, dark hair messily arranged on his head. Dressed in a dark blue shirt and tie; it was Frank. To Gerard this had probably been the best thing that had happened all day, the most interesting too. Gerard had to admit, he was kinda cute. The glossy green eyes of Frank looked up from his shoes and caught Gerard staring at him. For a split second their eyes made contact, before the red haired killer looked away, embarrassed.


The judge climbed back up onto his high post, or whatever it's called, and called for quiet. Silence immediately fell like a brick across the room.
Sebastian stood opposite, two officers stood by his side.

"Sebastian Carter." He began, "The jury and the court have made their decision and in a vote of 5:7 they have found you..."
Seb stared straight ahead of him, tears stinging his eyes.
"Sebastian Carter as being guilty of the murder of Kaitlin Jones, age 24 on the 7th of January. You will fulfil your punishment. The court has decided that in 3 days time you will be hung from the neck until dead."
"NO!!" Yelled Seb, clawing at the edge of the wooden box, "NO! I'm innocent! Please! NO! Just let me live! Please!" He begged as he fell to his knees.

The judge continued: "Evidence presented against you shows that on the night of the 7th of January you murdered your girlfriend, Kaitlin Jones, by beating her with a baseball bat before pushing her into a tree; causing her to become impaled and slowly bleed to death. In this time you did not seek any medical help, your history with alcohol does not help you at all. You can provide no evidence to where you were on the night of her death. The court has decided that you shall be hung until dead for the violence and brutality that you enforced onto Kaitlin in her last minutes of living. On the 22nd of January you will fulfil your punishment."

"Please!" Yelled Seb, a river of tears dripping to the floor from his misty eyes, "please believe me! I-I loved her! Just let me live! I pray for you to see! NO! It wasn't. It can't have been. I would never...."

The two police officers approached him and grabbed his arms, ripping them from the wood which he hung to. He dropped to the floor, body shaking violently as he gasped for oxygen that he wouldn't be needing for much longer. His chest tightened as his body squirmed on the floor, "Please...just..."

The police officers pulled him to his feet but his legs were shaking so much so that they couldn't hold his own body weight. They dragged him backwards, the public taking one last look at the innocent man who was dragged down into the darkness to disappear for eternity.

Notes

Hello! So this is the final court chapter. Sorry I uploaded them separately but they are done now. Also, this probably isn't like the actual process that they go through in court but oh well, tried my best. Should be back to writing 'normal' chapters, next update should be tomorrow night.
Thank you all so much for the views, I really enjoy writing this; like I actually look forward to it. Which I suppose is good. :) x
