I went to court as usual to testify in an arson/murder case for work. I did a lot of testifying as an Arson Investigator for the County. The case was fairly cut and dry. The accused was found standing on the front lawn of his burning house with a gas can in his hand as his wife and mother in law died inside. He told the Firefighters and Police that he did it.
I stood in the hallway of the courthouse talking to the District Attorney going over my testimony for the case as the Defense team arrived with the accused. The Lawyer handling the case was tall and built. He probably spent time in the Military by the way he walked and stood. He had really sexy eyes and a great smile. I couldn’t help but stare at him from across the hallway. I must have gotten lost in the fantasy because I suddenly realized that the D.A. had been talking to me and I completely ignored him.
We went inside and I watched the sexy young attorney do his dance before the Judge and Jury. He was amazing to watch. He had me mesmerized. He didn’t try to defend his client’s innocence but he did try to prove that his Wife and Mother-in-law drove him to insanity. He claimed their constant nagging drove him to it.
I gave my expert testimony and explained that the accused got into an argument with his wife, poured gasoline in every room of the house and lit the couch with a lighter before he left the house and blocked the doors from the outside. He then stood on the lawn to watch the house burn down. I showed the court pictures of the burn pattern on the floor where the gasoline had poured. I showed them pictures of the charred remains of his victims. I explained about 4 hours worth of technical information to the court audience.
When we were done for the day and the judge and jury made the conviction, the sexy lawyer stopped me in the parking deck on my way to my car. He introduced himself to me and I told him I’d introduce myself but he already knew my name well from using it in his cross-examination quite a few times. I was playing it cool with this guy. He was sexy and defiantly the kind of guy I could see myself going to bed with.
He asked me if I did a lot of expert testimony and I told him yes, that it was part of my job as a Fire Official and that I enjoyed this part of the job so I also did expert witness testimony for the defense if the pay was right. A girl’s gotta make a buck if she can. I smiled at him and realized how sexy his eyes were.
“I’ve never met a female Arson Expert before,” he said. “What made you get into that line of work?”
“My Father was a firefighter and so were just about everyone I knew growing up. It was a likely career choice for me. I liked science and forensics and wound up doing this.” I said.
