Closing Statement ~Defense~


    Representing the accused: Ms. Lucia Moretti, Esq.


    <u>Excerpt:</u>


    Three people entered that living room on the night of October 20th, 2024. Three people, at some point or another, handled the gun that ended up being the murder weapon. But only two of them are still with us today to tell their version of the events.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    But that doesn’t mean we haven’t heard from the third person. In fact, I believe we’ve heard plenty from Dr. Tobias Kane. I’d go so far as to say that his presence still looms large enough to cast a shadow of reasonable doubt over the proceedings.


    We heard from his injuries, and the stories they told. We heard from the indelible words he left behind—on his loved ones’ phones, through the garbled sounds of a recorded lecture, and across the pages of a medical file.


    He even spoke to us through the witnesses themselves. A biased and distorted version of him, to be sure, but I for one believe that, if we’d paid enough attention, we would’ve caught glimpses of Dr. Kane’s true self filter through the veils of history and deception. What did he try to tell us? What was his final plea to the world before we closed the book on his life?


    All that to say, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I agree whole-heartedly with my learned colleague across the aisle. A dead man does indeed tell the best tales. And now, it’s up to you to decide whether you believe him or not.
