Mahakamani leo. Kuna kesi. Mshtakiwa amekuja. Anashuhudia kwamba hana hatia. Juri wanasikiliza. Shahidi mmoja anasema, "Niliona mshtakiwa." Je, wajuri waamini shahidi? Wengine hawaamini. Mwendesha mashitaka anamsisitiza: "Mshtakiwa ni mkosewa." Kesi hii inachukua muda mrefu? Kuna ushahidi nyingi. Mahakama karibu itaanza wiki ijayo. Je, mshtakiwa atashinda? Anaweza kushinda kama wajuri hawaamini shahidi. Hakuna shahidi mwingine wa kushuhudia. Kosa ni kubwa? Mshtakiwa hajisaliti. Mwendesha mashitaka anawasilisha mashitaka yake. Wajuri huamua hatia. Je, huu ni haki? Shahidi hampendi kusema tena. Mahakamani kuna watu wengi. Wao hawaamini mshtakiwa. Kesi hii ni ngumu. Je, mshtakiwa ana hatia?
