Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 29, Period 1, 04.25.06

[OOC: I should really focus on the work stuff today. Therefore, light interaction from me. And one last movie day for you. Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students! Remember, next Tuesday is your final. Since it's been such a persistent metaphor this semester, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a question about the Tricycle of Justice."

"Thursday will be a review day. Bring any question you have about Justice and I'll answer it! But for today, you get off easy. Today we'll be watching one last episode off Crime & Punishment for the semester. This is the controversial episode where a party clown was found dead in the Mayor's kitchen pantry."

"This week's metaphor is the sun, while this week's extra credit is to bring is some snazzy, summery sunglasses."


"Enjoy!"

"I'm still working on it," she frowned. "Maybe...MIT."

"Heh. Okay. You realize, your back-up plan is MIT, and my back-up plan is Columbia Law? What kind of lives are we living that these are our back-up plans?"

"High pressure ones?"

"....yeah, I'm thinking that plan to go to my condo in Aruba with you guys for a week or two is looking better and better."

"There's a plan to go to your condo in Aruba?" Sam brightened, "How do I not know about that?"

Parker frowned, then nodded. "Because it keeps being discussed in the library, off and on and not seriously. But my dad is in Malaysia until the end of the month, so hey. Easy plan!"

"I need a bathing suit and SPF 50 sunscreen," Sam said, sticking her arm out in front of her. It didn't phosphoresce under the classroom lights, but it was close. "You wouldn't believe how badly I burn."

"You and Rory both, I think. So noted. We'll take a portable pavilion and a stockpile of sunscreen just for you two." Parker grimaced. "I have a tendency to freckle. Ugh."

"I bet the freckles are cute." Sam scooted her chair about an inch away from Parker.

Parker aimed a *thwap!* at Sam, and rolled her eyes.

"They are not cute. They're annoying! I don't burn, at least, but seriously. I am not Hayseed Holly. Therefore, sunscreen and cover-ups are my friend too." She shook her head. "We'll see what my dad says, though. He might want to use the place in Aruba for some corporate thing for most of the summer."

Sam made a face at Parker. "Whatever works."

"There will be no junior executive suck-ups there, whatever weekend I pick." Parker grinned and threw more popcorn. "Or clowns. Or butlers, come to think of it."

"No butlers or junior executives...um, are clowns usually a problem?"

"Only when the junior executives are there."

"Yours and mine both," Parker mumbled, taking a bite of popcorn. "Although he is supposed to be in Rio for most of the summer, sooo..."

"Here's hoping," Sam said, munching on popcorn. "The new DA's such a jerk, but at least they got rid of the non-acting blonde ADA."

"ADA Barbie? Yeah. And Prosecutor Guy stayed. Go, Prosecutor Guy! Give that clown a shout-down in the courtroom!" Parker paused. "Although I bet I wouldn't get to do that in real life."

"Yeah, I don't think real courtrooms are big on yelling." She sat up, "Ooh, contempt threats. Those are always fun."

"I love this part." It's entirely possible Parker wants to become a DA because of this show as much as this class.

"Plus, it's refreshingly realistic--the juries are just as stupid here as they are in real life."

"Totally true." Parker watched the judge instruct the jury to disregard Prosecutor Guy's yelling, and snorted. "Yeah, like that ever happens. They're never getting what he said about butlering not being a noble profession if the butler uses his powers for evil out of their heads."

"Of course not," Sam replied, "that's why he said it. Sure he got hollered at by the judge, and they're not allowed to read it in the transcript, but they heard it and will remember it while they're deliberating. Trial Tactics 101."

Parker grinned. "A perfectly legal way to cheat. Heh." She glared at the TV. "I am not going to be DA, I'm not going to be DA-- ooo! Surprise witness!"

"State your name for the record," Sam muttered, "Deus. Ex Machina. I'm here to save your case. He should totally be in tights and a cape."
