This is what happens when you don't sleep...
Mock Trial People, here is some work on Sparkle. The round table discussions kept me up to tonight, I mean this morning, and I wrote this. Let me know what you think. -Quinn the Eskimo
Jordan Sparkle
Direct
1. Name
2. Tell us about yourself
a. “I am the president of Rambo Investigations; you might say, I “am” Rambo Investigations. My cousin, Sammy Sparkle, helped me stake claim to my own PI shop once I retired from the Aspen-Snowmass P.D.” (Paragraph 1)
3. So, who do you do investigations for?
The fashion industry hires me quite often. “You might not think a
hoity-toity designer would have gumshoe problems, but let me tell you, they do! It's as
cutthroat in the suites as in the streets; everybody's trying to rip somebody off. Marlin Kaw and
Sunny Overturf have been at each other for years. When what you're selling is gossamer rather
than pork bellies, every day still might be your last! I started out on the “gossip run" pimping
leads for Sunny Overturf's business, Summit High Fashion, on which celebrity is doing what,
with whom, and how can they be convinced to do it in a trademarked Summit High Fashion” (paragraph 3)
4. Tell us about you work with Summit High Fashion
a. Talk about your role in the Aspen Fashion Week
i. You were sent to check things out
ii. “The day of the big show. Friday, March 6, 2009, I'll never forget it! I'd gone early to scope out the venue. Marlin's, now Ryanne's, shows have been hostile territory for Summit High Fashion for some time.” (Paragraph 12)
5. What did you discover@ the Fashion Show?
a. Talk about Taylor Overturf! This is the most critical piece of Sparkle’s testimony!!!
i. “I still have my license to carry a concealed weapon from my detective days, and the metal detector going off nearly gave that poor rent-a-cop Simon Cowlick apoplexy. Would've been fun except, for what happened later. Anyway, while Cowlick was breathing heavy into his handkerchief and all the surrounding guests were staring at me wide-eyed, Taylor Overturf marched up to the security station bold as brass. He stared at me and I stared back with my eyes kind of hooded, like I do when I want to intimidate. As I've said before, I'm not one of them. I'm a working stiff not an artiste. In other words, Taylor and I don't get along. Never have, really. But I wasn't so busy that I didn’t glance at the detector's gauges as Taylor walked through “I know on my own that the device was working and since Taylor didn't set it off, he didn't have the pistol then. My theory is that it was given to him inside the show or left for him somewhere inside. I mean come on, we have all seen the famous Godfather restaurant scene when Michael Corleone kills the rival gangster Sollozzo with a gun that was hidden in the restroom! My old pals on the Force leaked to me that the registration on the pistol was to Seastress and it was for protection. Come on, how bad could Kaw's Designs be that they have to hold up their customers at gunpoint!” Paragraphs 12-13
6. What happened next?
a. “My job was to skulk around looking for trouble. I wandered around the catwalk, looking for anything amiss, until the room began to fill. Then I went backstage, leaving the beautiful people to fill the seats around Sunny….. “Backstage, Lamb, thrusting herself/himself into the heart of things, was flitting about like a hummingbird on Red Bull, air-kissing everybody. Well, not quite everybody; standing behind a curtain, I was close enough to hear the stage whispers between Alexx and Ryanne; there was nothing flighty about those. To the contrary, the tone was urgent and tense. I heard one of them say, “What about Keri Overturf? Oh, didn't you hear, our pint-sized prodigy's forever ‘up in flames’ just like her coif. After my stunning finale, she’ll truly belong to the ages. Ah, but aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln...?" (Paragraph 15)
7. What else do you remember about the Aspen Fashion Show?
a. “Toward the end of the show, I noticed a disturbance at the other end of the dressing rooms. Alton was throwing a snit. Prima donnas! Before Ryanne seemed to have had time to summon him, Seastress had just been whispering to Lamb, Cowlick came huffing backstage to smooth things over. It only took me a moment to understand the gnawing sense in my gut that something was awry. Cowlick, being the most innocuous-looking of the security detail, thus the least likely to distress the invited guests, had been assigned to monitor access right beside where the runway goes backstage. A crucial piece of the perimeter.” (Paragraph 16)
b. “Some sort of throbbing ruckus started out front; I think it was some hip hop music for the grand finale. Recalling my duty to Keri Overturf, I turned away from Alton’s temper-tantrum which happened to be about the priority in the designers' queue --whose creation would follow and upstage whose and headed towards the wings where I could observe the now security-less catwalk for myself. Just as I reached the proscenium, I realized the audible pyrotechnics weren't part of the climax. That and the realization that the tone of the screams from out front was agony, not ecstasy.” (Paragraph 17)
c. “Pushing through the curtain, my weapon drawn, I spotted Taylor standing on the runway, a peculiar look on his face. More to the point, I spied a gun in Taylor's hand, and panicked models huddled over a limp form at the end of the stage. The only way he could have made it to that point on the catwalk before me was by slipping by that "Barney Fife" Cowlick.” (Paragraph 18)
d. “Amid the pulsing strobe flashes, I detected a growing pool of red. Time slowed for a moment. I was aware, while the audience mostly drew back in horror, Abdone was pushing closer. Hungry for scandal, I suppose. It had only been a moment. Taylor had had just enough time to lose the stupid confused expression and glance, as if looking for someone, towards the curtains where I stood. Not me though, and without much thought beyond neutralizing the threat, my training took over and I shot.” (Paragraph 19)
e. “I'm a good shot if I do say so myself. Taylor wasn't getting up again. Still, in the confusion I hadn't made an entirely clean strike. Now there were two growing pools of blood Taylor's dripping over the edge, Keri’s on the catwalk. Not yet realizing Keri had been killed, I walked quickly to where Taylor had fallen. I was there in time to hear Taylor 's dying words "I got to Lamb hold the jury, but only so long. Marlin and Seastress had me in their debt, so I had to shut down Keri's career." (Paragraph 20) This statement explained some emails I had investigated earlier
8. Tell us about the emails
a. “Gaining access to e-mails, through the network administrator at the Summit High Fashion site, I zeroed in on particular IP and e-mail addresses. No “official" addresses for Ryanne Seastress, personally, or Marlin Kaw, but some anonymous ones being provided to Lamb on the sly through some hack-master. Then by taking advantage of old friends on the Force and some new “friends” I made through Sammy, I arranged to monitor all e-mails sent to and from those addresses. I also arranged for some associates of Sammy to accompany me to the physical mirror site where Alexx Lamb’s ISP was administered in order to persuade” the techies to look the other way as to our monitoring of Alexx. ”
b. Identify Exhibit 6
c. Enter Exhibit 6 into evidence, publish to opposing council and the jury, etc
d. Have him read the emails.
9. No further questions your honor.
Cross
1. You did identify Pauli Abdone at the Annual Aspen Fashion Week, the night Keri Overturf was murder, correct?
a. “I noticed Pauli bug-eying all the celebrities, frantically taking down names and noting costumes for his/her next blog or tweet or whatever. The reporter had a better seat than some of the buyers, which just goes to show you today's priorities.” Paragraph 14
2. You never actually observed Ryanne make contact with Taylor did you?
a. “I never saw them talking to Taylor that evening, but once the stage is set, does anyone really need one more rehearsal before the curtain rises?” (Paragraph 15)
3. Sunny Overturf basically hired you to spy on other fashion firms, correct?
a. “There were a lot of shady issues with copied designs, spies in the workrooms that kind of thing.” (Paragraph 3)
4. Your cousin/investor/consultant, Sammy the Snake, is invested in High Summit Fashion, isn’t he?
a. “Not all of them orthodox, I grant you that. However, Sammy’s concerned as a
consultant (and maybe as a Summit High Fashion investor too --you learn not to ask him too
many questions), that Sunny Overturf not be put out of business, so there's little room for the restrictions my “do-gooder" ex-captain would've wanted.” (Paragraph 7)
5. (If we can get a “yes” on question #4..) Don’t you think you might have a little conflict of interest here, as an investigator?
6. Sunny Overturf isn’t a very good business person, is she?
a. “Even as a minor, Keri was a naturally better businessperson than Sunny, and Keri’s unexpected success was a prime reason for her parents’ shop getting back on the upswing.” (Paragraph 11)
7. So, Sunny Overturf basically needed Keri Overturf , from a business perspective, right?
8. So, your investor, Sammy the Snake, basically needs your investigation to reveal that a wealthy party, like Ryanne Seastress, is responsible for the death of Keri Overturf
9. You’re not always real honest, are you?
a. “You know, you give a little here to get a little later-- one hand washes the other – you get it?” (Paragraph 1)
10. No further questions your honor.
