text: One Wednesday afternoon, JD was working in the Kitchen of the Daily Diner when some authorities pulled up into the parking lot. They step out of their cars and show their arrest warrants to the owner of the Daily Diner, who allows them to take you but says he had no knowledge of you trafficking drugs. He vouches for you and says you are a hard working and honest man. What do you do?
  
  > allow yourself to be arrested peaceably
  They take you to the police office. You stay very calm while they put you in a jail cell. Later, you leave jail after paying off bail. Since you used up your money for that, you cannot afford a lawyer. You are assigned a lawyer, a woman right out of law school named Charlotte Winters.
  
  > About Your Lawyer
  Your lawyer is Charlotte Winters of Parker-Winters Law. Ms. Winters recently graduated from Vanderbilt Law Magna Cum Laude and is already a partner at Parker-Winters Law, although she has never had a case. She is plucky and kind and you are thrilled that the state provided you with such a great lawyer. You meet with her for a little bit at the prison, but she soon drives you home so you can be with your family.
  
  > go Home
  Your wife is thrilled to see you, and is glad you chose to come home. Ms. Winters is glad that you are married, as your wife will provide a valuable alibi, telling the court that you do not grow and sell drugs. Ms. Winters says it is also convenient that you do not own a warehouse, so it is easy to disprove part of the accusation. Ms. Winters informs you that your trial is scheduled to begin in two weeks, and that she needs to begin preparing your case.
  
  CW: Mr. Jones, have you ever done drugs?
  
  JDJ: No, I have not.
  
  CW: What do you do in your spare time?
  
  JDJ: I work a second job as a night-janitor at the local private school. It has good pay and because I work there my son will be eligible for a part-scholarship.
  
  CW: What do you like to do for fun?
  
  JDJ: I like to play with Johnny (John David Jr.) and help my wife.
  
  Charlotte Winters nods her head thoughtfully and asks many similar questions. Soon after Ms. Winters leaves and you go tuck in Johnny Jr. After he is asleep in bed, you and your wife talk about what is going to happen to you, and you promise her everything will be alright.
  
  > continue to your trial
  .................................................................................Two Weeks Later (at the trial)...........................................................................
  
  You wake up early in the morning and put on your only suit. You check your appearance and go kiss your son's forehead. Then, you wait for Ms. Winters to come and pick you up. Ms. Winters has done an incredible job on your case and you think that if Ms. Winters cannot win your case, no one can. She has spent many hours upon hours making a seamless case, and the jury would be fools if they do not believe you.
  
  Ms. Winters arrives and briefs you on what will happen on day one of your trial. She tells you about what will be expected of you and what you should do. She tells you to never smile and always look serious, but not too interested or uninterested. Also, you must sit up straight and look confident, but not in a brash way. You think that this is an awful lot to remember, but you resolve to do what she says because she is a professional.
  
  You walk into the court and sit down on the bench next to Ms. Winters. All eyes are on you and you do your best to follow Ms. Winters's advice. You sit perfectly and gaze at the prospective jurors. You are shown quite a few jurors, and you are required to eliminate the ones that you think are unfair until there are twelve jurors that both the prosecutor and the defendant agree on. The prosecutors have approved 13 jurors, and Ms. Winters is allowing you to be the one to eliminate one of them. Choose to eliminate whoever you think would be least likely to take your side.

  > eliminate Jeremy Johnson
  .................................................................................STAGE TWO OF YOUR TRIAL.............................................................................. The second stage of your trial is when the Defense and the Prosecution make their opening statements. The prosecution is lead by William-Robert Brown, who represents the State.
  
  Brown: Today we are gathered here to witness the Trial of John David Jones, a drug dealer and trafficker. Phyllis Jacobson brought his unacceptable actions to the attention of the State and we are here to prove what we already know.
  
  You are appalled by Brown's presumptuous speech. You look over at Ms. Winters, who is slowly standing up, preparing to make her opening statement.
  
  Winters: Thank you, Mr. Brown. Firstly, I would like to thank the Jury for coming today to help us prove what we already know, that Mr. Jones is innocent. Not only is there a lack of evidence to support Mrs. Jacobson's claims, there is plenty evidence to prove his innocence. Throughout this trial. I would like to remind you that not only is Mr. Jones an honest and hard-working man, he is a father and a husband who loves his family dearly. Mr. Jones is only present in this courtroom because of the preposterous claims of a tiresome Phyllis Jacobson.
  
  As Ms. Winters sits down, you become extremely nervous. What if I am not able to pull through? What do you do?
  
  > Panic!!!!
  You are so nervous that you begin to fidget, and then you begin squirming. The judge and the rest of the court look over at you and you can hear them snicker. They think you are guilty because you looked uncomfortable when Ms. Winters mentioned your redeeming qualities. You realize that you should have listened more carefully to Ms. Winters' advice.
  
  > continue with your trial
  Stage 3 of your trial is the Prosecution's case against you, and Ms. Winters advises you that it will likely be the most difficult for you to hear all these false accusations about you. She tells you to sit tight.
  
  Brown: Your honor, jurors, I have collected a few witnesses to prove to you John David's guilt.
  
  Mr. Brown proceeds to show four witnesses: Phyllis Jacobson, her husband Peter, and their children Michael and Matthew. They all tell the jury and the judge that they felt woozy after eating food served by you and have seen you in the back alley with other people.
  
  Brown: As you can see, it is very obvious from the testimonies of our varied witnesses that JD is guilty.
  
  > Next Stage of Your Trial
  Ms. Winters presents your wife, who says that it is impossible for you to be a drug dealer, since you work two jobs and the rest of the time you are with your family.
  
  The owner of the restaurant goes against what the Jacobson family said, and says that they had a lot of expired food that week and they didn't realize it until later.
  
  > Stages 5&6
  Stage 5 is when Ms. Winters and Mr. Brown argue about your case, presenting more evidence to support their claims. Ms. Winters has your clocking in and clocking out forms from both of your jobs, and tells how you are always home from 9-10 to eat dinner and read to your son. Mr. Brown has little evidence and stutters a lot.
  
  Stage 6 is when Ms. Winters tells the jury about laws regarding this trial, and Amendment 8 from the Bill of Rights, which says that there is no cruel and unusual punishment. She says that we all know that you are innocent, but in the event that they find you guilty, you are not allowed to be subjected to cruel or unusual punishments.
  
  > Stage 7
  The jurors look over Amendment 8:
  
  Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
  
  They decide that they do not even need to look over Amendment 8 and what punishment they would give because based on your lawyer and your witnesses, they think you are innocent. Your bail money is returned and you get get to go home.
  
  Congratulations! Thank you for playing!
