The man had the biggest smile from cheek to cheek, showing his teeth. He died laughing, but the tears indicate he didn't die happy...  "?!" She gasped out, horrified by the picture, and accidentally let go of the crowbar. 'No!' She frowned. "....so, why did you kill everyone else excep..." She stopped herself, hoping not to change the madman's mind. |

 "...well, the idea was to have someone witness the punchline." With a chuckle, the madman rolled in a television set before the lawyer. "And the guys here don't really have a sense of humor... they're pretty deadpan, if you ask me." Cackling at that atrocious pun, he immediately forced her up into a sitting position. "Now come on; we can't miss the show! The trial's supposed to begin soon, after all!" |

"....oh no." Yeah, this'll add insult to injury...in every sense of the word. The courtroom looked rather frozen, as the jury discussed among themselves.  No, just kiddin', guys. XD |

"Oh, relax; the guys just didn't want you to represent the defense... well, they wanted no one to represent the defense, which just wouldn't do for a good joke." Chuckling, he drummed his fingers together. "And look! There, thanks to some good string-pulling, is your substitute attorney!" And who was this substitute he referred to?  A young woman in pale make-up wearing a harlequin's outfit; filing her nails as she smirked. Yeah, NPCing her until someone decides to app her. XD |

"...you must be joking." Her mouth dropped. There was the punchline. --------------- "This is miss Jennifer's substitute?" One of them whispered. "But, she's rather..." @judge@ PW Judge mind ye "Err, is the defense...ready?" Asked the just as stunned judge. |

Except it wasn't. Oh delicious irony, how that wasn't the punchline...
"Ready when you are, Mistah Judge!" she responded in a rather carefree tone. |

@judge@ "Right then. Court is now in session." He brought down his gavel. ------------ "They're just ACCEPTING this?!" She shouted, unbelievably stunned. ------------ One lawyer stood up, he didn't care about the switch in defense himself, as long as he won. "Now then. My client stands by his plea of not guilty...." He looked over at Nicholas sitting closeby, looking rather smug. @judge@ "I see. Well then, how would the defense like to open up?" |

Smirking arrogantly, the harlequin cleared her throat...
...while the clown slowly reached behind Jennifer...
"...Mistah Judge, I would like to object to the client's plea."
And without warning, the Joker suddenly swung the same crowbar Jennifer had grasped at earlier right across her face. [dice=6][rand=869237338829928899489410995416382666456435617048892514704423362] |

Of course, since she was completely distracted by case (and not to mention tied up) she took the crowbar in the back of the head. "!" And groaned, as she was out again.
------------
"?!" Ol' Trask looked rather surprised, as the jury spoke among themselves again. 'What's she doing?!'
@judge@ All while the jolly old Judge slammed his gavel down, trying to keep everyone quiet. "Order! Respect the will of Gavel Man!"
"Really now?" Said the smug attourney. Not even taking the girl seriously.[rand=243265676533251432644648661493046476216123535299053616285450339511]

Grinning, Joker grabbed Jennifer by her throat, and smacked her across the face with his hand. "No fainting... you're missing the joke." he chuckled sinisterly.
With a smug smirk, the harlequin stepped forward, as she eyed Trask with a raised eyebrow. "Would the court care to list the crimes that Mistah Trask pleads 'not guilty' to?" |

"Guh..." She quickly woke up, and glared at Joker. "You really are a..." But she quieted down when the Judge spoke again. ------------ @judge@ "Well of course." He went down the list. "A few claim of theft, and a murder of a miss Elaine Walters." ------------ 'Mother...' She was pulling everything together for this day, for her mother' death. ------------ "The record stated it was just a car accident, and Trask states he wasn't even in town during that accident. There's no link, just a foolish claim...I doubt our lovely defense found one herself." Trask looked more relaxed...but still had his glaring eyes on Harly. @judge@ "I see. Defense?" |

"...well, Mistah Judge, I have reason to object to that."
And before Jennifer could react, Joker suddenly slammed the crowbar against her knees. [dice=6]
Grinning, she pulled out a folder from her bag; drumming her finger against it. "Miss Walters, the attorney I'm subbin' for, managed to compile a thorough look into the accident that claimed Elaine Walters' life... and it's been reinforced by a former benefactor of Trask's, who wishes to remain anonymous, save for a psuedonym..." As she spoke, she cast a smirk at Trask. "...does the name 'Mistah White' ring any bells?"[rand=657899987257628170981561655571282406762831590938442952638038435065] |

[dice=6] "!" She groaned, as her knees buckled at the attack. She struggled against her binds. "E.enough..." -------------- And cue the eye twitch. 'That backstabbin' CLOWN! I'll make him regret this...' Even the laywer seemed rather stunned at that, not sure how to react. @judge@ The ballif took the file to be examined by the judge, and after a moment... "This seems rather solid indeed, I must say."[rand=179088505165894645565723730267991621870391518032207032930512262647] |

Grabbing her by her hair, Joker hoisted Jennifer up to grin at her. "...you see, me and Harley came up with a bit of a game while she prepared to stand in for you... any time someone objects, I beat the snot out of the nearest person with a blunt instrument." Then he looked at the screen again. "And with what Harley's gonna throw out... there should be no end to the objections."
"Oh, I'm not done yet, Mistah Judge!" And she produced another folder. "Mistah White was also kind enough to provide Miss Walters with a list of names... oooh, look'it all these names, your honor! Why, I think that guy runs a drug cartel! And isn't he locked up over in Arkham? Oooh, it's like a laundry list of missteps for Mistah Trask!" |

"Tch, you can't be seri..." ---------- "Objection!" The attourney stood up. "That is a baseless claim! My client has never even come miles near Gotham City!" ---------- Uh oh... |
