Chapter 3 -- The Trial
The third touchdown of the game was scored. The girls decided to kiss me all over while Jennifer rode me cowgirl style. After watching the girls playing with themselves, it didn't take long for me to explode into her. No punishment this round.
=======
The trial was on Monday. François, Lisa, and I arrived at the courthouse 30 minutes early so we could meet with the DA Helen Leblanc.
Helen gave us an outline of what was going to happen. Trials now are very quick, so we could have a verdict today. Since I was partially knocked out all I could attest to was to the point that the four assailants attacked me. I might also be asked why the store has so many security cameras. She said that the guns that they had were fake, but from a law standpoint, it doesn't matter if they were fake or real. She thought this was a slam dunk and couldn't think of the defense angle since there was so much high-definition video and each girl was clearly shown when they took off the masks.
The trial was presided over by Judge Boudreaux.
The accused were brought into the room. I tried to get a good look at them. I was seeing them really for the first time. We had looked at their social media pics, but some of them looked staged, so this was the first time to compare them against reality. They all looked cute, and all looked slim, but they also looked like they had been through hell, although the girl that I later would find out was Jackie, had a defiant look on her face. Their lawyers stood with them. They all plead not guilty.
The judge asked for the prosecution. Helen asked me to take the stand. I was asked to describe the events of that morning. I told them how my employees were at a birthday lunch and I was alone in the store. I was working when four people came into the store. They were waving what looked like guns and told me to open the case with all the new phones. I was standing to walk over to the case to open it when one of the girls shoved me. I tripped and hit my head and was barely conscious for the rest of the robbery.
Helen then asked about my injuries. I stated that I had a concussion, black eye, and bruises all over my body.
Helen said she had no more questions and turned me over to the defense.
The defense lawyer stood and asked, "Mr. Fontenot, I am sorry that you are injured. Can you identify the people that did this to you? Are they in the court?"
"Well, they wore masks, but based on the video feed, it was those women." And I pointed to them.
"So you never saw them in person, just based on the video?"
I answered. "Correct. They were wearing masks, so I can't identify them from just the time that they arrived in the store until I blacked out."
"Thank you. Now you have a very high-tech security system in your store. Now I know that stores like yours are a frequent target of thieves, but isn't the level you have in your store a little excessive?"
"Well, you might think so, but since I have all the technical knowledge in-house with my staff, the labor was basically free for me to get it installed, so my team made a bit of a game of it. They did the installs, and then they had a little pool to see how many cameras I could find. I only found half of the cameras. It was a good experience for my team, and we have set up security for other businesses as an offshoot of this."
He then went on, "And you have cameras outside of the store as well. Correct?" I agreed. "And do you have permission from the landlord for these exterior cameras?"
I was puzzled. I looked at Helen and François. They were shaking their heads with a look that said that the defense lawyers were idiots. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"The exterior cameras. You would need the landlord's permission correct? You would need written permission from..." he checked his notes "... J and L F Inc. You would need permission from that company in order to install the exterior cameras."
I said, "I guess."
He smiled. I think they thought that if they could determine that the exterior cameras were illegally installed the video would be excluded. "Well, did you get written permission from the landlord?"
I looked puzzled and told the truth. "No."
He then smiled at the parents and said. "I am finished with this witness."
Helen stood and asked the judge if she could ask a follow-up question. The judge agreed.
She asked, "Mr. Fontenot one question. Who owns J and L F Inc.?"
I smiled and replied. "My sister and I own 100% of that company. We bought the building with the money our grandfather left us and set up a real estate holding company for it."
Helen said to the judge, "I don't have any more questions." The judge said that I could leave.
As I walked into the gallery I could hear one of the lawyers whispering with one of the parents. "but you said they rented their stores. You didn't tell me that they owned the fucking building.....we are so fucked."
The rest of the trial was a farce. The video showed the girls taking off the masks in the alley. Each girl had a different pair of shoes, so it was easy to tell which girl did what. The guns used were realistic toy guns, but in the eyes of the court, there was no difference.
