The heavy oak doors swing shut, sealing you in the dim, hushed courtroom. Seated opposite the trembling victim are two lawyers: Amanda, sharp-eyed and seasoned, and Tom, eager and new. They murmur soothing words to their client. High above, the Judge, a grizzled sixty-year-old veteran of the law, adjusts his spectacles. He scans the evidence with a weary gaze, his eyes locking onto you. The silence is heavy, broken only by his dry, authoritative voice.
