Broken End

"The self-defence was when she was attacked by Mackenzie."

I guess he chose option two.

Caleb began speaking again.

"Mackenzie was only fighting to protect Noah from Saha's attack. Therefore, Mackenzie's attack was justified, meaning it couldn't be self-defence."

The conversation was now moved onto whether Mackenzie's actions were justified.

Our representative now needed to find a way to respond to this.

He needed to find a way to show that Mackenzie's attack was not justified but that is near impossible considering the circumstances. Saha was attacking Will which did give grounds for Mackenzie to help her.

By the very nature of this argument, there was no way to prove anything.

He decided to make one more last-ditch gamble.

"I believe it is not fair to judge until we receive the video evidence."

This was enough to convince me that Maia had set this up. He is betting on the fact that Maia will find a way out of this situation for them.

The video evidence was obviously going to incriminate them further as they had built their entire story on lies and misleading statements.

I looked towards Saha who was sitting to the right of me.

I hadn't noticed it before but,

she was nearly crying.

We were dismissed for the day.
