A Lawsuit
#10
Throughout the duration of Jon's oration, the Prosecutor General sat with a stiff back and grim expression. He was baffled by his own behavior and he replayed specific moments over and over in his mind. Had nerves gotten the best of him? Was the stress of the job finally grinding his mind to dementia? His doctor warned him of his health, were these the symptoms of strokes? Yes, he must have had a stroke. A CT brain scan would be in order. He prayed he was having a stroke. Any other explanation was likely to get him-- he took a breath --well, it was a good thing he had life insurance.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the judges filed from the bench. The council would reconvene for opening discussions next week. After which, personal opinions would be written and distributed among all seventeen. Responses would then be processed and redistributed. A high profile case like this should come to a reasonable conclusion in six to eight months. After all, the Court was not a team reaching for consensus, they were seventeen individual judges, each with their own clerks, opinions, and publications. They were not here to decide the status of the Minutemen as an organization, they were only here to interpret the jurisdiction of Custody law.

Once the court was dismissed, Kant hurried from the room with his Assistant and law clerks in tow. That night, he was found swinging from a noose in his home library, apparently having committed suicide. The act was taken as quite a shock; none were aware he suffered from depression.
