A Recording

Soon, the jury, secretaries, inspectors, and other personnel were in place. Three judges slowly walked in from outside.

Everyone stood up, and everyone had a solemn expression on their faces. Then, Audrey and the opposing counsel took the oath.

After the opposing counsel finished taking the oath, the judge motioned for Audrey to state the case.

Audrey slowly stood up.

She first looked in the direction of the judge and then at the crowd.

"Your Honor, members of the jury, inspectors, and all the reporters present. I am Audrey Koch, the lawyer who represents the prosecuting organ. The defendant is the Fida Trading Company. Angel Orphanage is the largest orphanage in the city. There are many orphans who have lost their families or have been abandoned. The orphanage is their second home. The director of the Angel Orphanage, Ms. Selina Perez, treats the children as her own children.
