Judge Williams entered the courtroom and moved to the bench.
The court clerk announced, “All rise. Court is now in session. The Honorable Judge Tessa Williams presiding.”
Judge Williams said, “You may be seated. This is the case of The People of the State of California Versus Ashley Patterson. Let's get started.”
Judge Williams looked at Brennan. “Would the prosecutor like to make an opening statement?”
Mickey Brennan rose. “Yes, Your Honor.” He turned to the jury and moved toward them. “Good morning.”
“As you know, ladies and gentlemen, the defendant is on trial, accused of committing three bloody murders.”
“Murderers come in many disguises.” He nodded toward Ashley. “Her disguise is that of an innocent, vulnerable young woman.”
“But the state will prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant willfully and knowingly murdered and mutilated three innocent men.”
“She used an alias to commit one of these murders, hoping not to get caught.”
“She knew exactly what she was doing. We're talking calculated, cold-blooded murder.”
As the trial goes on, I will show you all the strands, one by one, that tie this case to the defendant sitting there. Thank you.
He returned to his seat. Judge Williams looked at David. “Does the defense have an opening statement?”
