Real Life Drama

Innocence is often irrelevant
Cases are often dismissed on a technicality
Long before the acquittal
No verdict gets called or evidence recalled
No jury or courtroom
To get enthralled with the the case at hand
Something didn't get said
Something was misread a witness was mislead
A witness recanted
A lawyer was disenchanted or money exchanged hands
Maybe the case at hand
Fell into the wrong hands before any witness was called
Perhaps the scene of the crime
was left a mess The perimeter was less than stressed
The victim left in distress
Grew frightened and started to second guess
Her own better judgement
In any event no one was left to vent their frustrations
to an empty courtroom
After all this isn't television and few things can be wrapped
up in one hour or less
