Chandler Ghent nods to Gregory Townsend.
Gregory Townsend stands back up.
Terrisa Chavez says, "All rise for the Magistrate."
Chandler Ghent stands back up.
Portia Bailey stands back up.
Winston Chapel stands back up.
Donnelly Harriman steps up to the Bench.
Donnelly Harriman nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Thank you.  You may be seated."
Donnelly Harriman sits down.
Winston Chapel sits down.
Chandler Ghent sits down.
Gregory Townsend sits down.
Portia Bailey sits down.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the second day of the Crown
 versus Chandler Ghent, in the matter of the charges against him of murder and
 treason.  Thank you to the jury for returning for a second day of testimony in this
 trial.  Your time is appreciated."
Donnelly Harriman nods to the jury.
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Nadli Clu'sa nods to Donnelly Harriman.
Waverly Chow nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "The second phase taking place today is the taking of
 evidence, and this is the time at which witnesses will give their testimony
 answering questions put to them by the Crown and the Defense.  It is also the time
 in which the physical evidence will be offered in the course of testimony as
 exhibits."
Jewel Michaels nods.
Portia Bailey glances at Jesse Jones.
Tony Malone turns off his communicator.
Donnelly Harriman says, "I will remind everyone in the courtroom to please extend
 your courtesy to those testifying and to the jury, and remain as still as
 possible."
Nadli Clu'sa pays close attention.
Donnelly Harriman says, "I will deal harshly with those who detract from the trial."
Donnelly Harriman says, "The rules of evidence govern what can be heard and
 considered in trial, and these rules are applied by me as the judge in the case. 
 There will be disputes about what can be heard and considered.  It is the
 professional obligation of counsel to raise objections.  "
Donnelly Harriman glances at the jury.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Don't think that when an objection is made that it has any
 significance for you until it's ruled on.  Sometimes I will sustain the objection,
 then the witness will not answer the question and you disregard the question as
 well."
Ami Stuart nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "If an objection is overruled, that, of course, means that I
 disagree with a particular objection, but that again does not give any particular
 significance to the answer."
Ryan Sloan nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "You should consider that answer in the same way as you do
 any other part of the witnesses' testimony, even though an objection was made and
 overruled."
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Don't hold it against counsel for raising an objection. 
 It's their professional obligation to do that, and there can be times when that can
 get somewhat heated.  It's part of why I am here, to rule on these matters."
Donnelly Harriman smiles.
Jewel Michaels nods.
Walt Zanderbilt grins.
Arielle Drummond grins.
Nadli Clu'sa smiles.
Nadli Clu'sa nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "The rules of evidence are not very clear.  They are subject
 to interpretation.  They are indeed subject to judgment, The position that I have
 in this case is called a judge because I must exercise judgment with respect to
 these things."
Donnelly Harriman smiles.
Donnelly Harriman says, "I will caution the jury once more not to discuss these
 matters outside of this courtroom."
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Nadli Clu'sa nods.
Waverly Chow nods.
Jewel Michaels nods.
Arielle Drummond nods.
Kyla RedCloud nods.
Rain Beringer nods.
Ryan Sloan nods.
Sami Market nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Having heard from the lawyers on both sides with the
 opening statement as to what you could expect to hear, we begin now to actually
 hear the evidence in the case."
Terrisa Chavez shifts her weight.
Donnelly Harriman says, "All right."
Nadli Clu'sa takes a deep breath of air.
Walt Zanderbilt breathes a sigh of relief.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "We are ready for the first witness for the prosecution. 
 Ms. Bailey?"
Portia Bailey stands back up.
Arielle Drummond crosses her legs.
Portia Bailey says, "Yes, your Honor."
Nadli Clu'sa crosses her legs.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Who is your first witness?"
Portia Bailey says, "Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, the Crown calls
 Detective Chavez."
Donnelly Harriman nods.
Terrisa Chavez stands back up.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Thank you.  Would you please step forward and raise your
 right hand to be sworn in?"
Terrisa Chavez approaches the bench and raises her right hand.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
 nothing but the truth about the matters involved in this trial?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "I do."
Donnelly Harriman says, "Thank you. You may be seated.  Ms. Bailey, your witness."
Terrisa Chavez sits down.
Portia Bailey asks, "Detective, you have been in charge of this case for the Police
 Department, is that right?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Yes, ma'am."
Portia Bailey asks, "And you have collected and catalogued all the Physical Evidence
 the Crown will introduce in this case, correct?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Yes, that is correct."
Terrisa Chavez nods to Portia Bailey.
Gregory Townsend exclaims, "Objection, your Honor!"
Terrisa Chavez blinks.
Gregory Townsend says, "Counsel is leading the witness."
Donnelly Harriman glances at Gregory Townsend.
Donnelly Harriman says, "It was a simple question, Mr. Townsend.  Objection
 overruled."
Portia Bailey bows to Donnelly Harriman.
Portia Bailey says, "Detective, tell us about the locations where you found these
 items, please."
Terrisa Chavez gets a spiral notepad from inside her leather briefcase.
Terrisa Chavez opens a spiral notepad.
Portia Bailey says, "Please tell us the relevance of the evidence, as well."
Terrisa Chavez nods.
Terrisa Chavez says, "The physical evidence collected in this case came from three
 sources and/or locations -- The  Board of Governors' Room in Town Hall just after
 the bombing on 28 September 2000; Chandler Ghent's offices located at 43B Jacaranda
 Way, Cape Marassas; and from Witness for the Prosecution, Tony Malone."
Terrisa Chavez says, "Please allow me to verbally reconstruct how the evidence is
 linked."
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Terrisa Chavez glances at the Councils for the Defense then up at the Magistrate.

You see  Tony Malone.
He appears to be in his early twenties.
He stands 5 feet and 11 inches tall and has an average build.  He has dark skin,
 frizzled short brown hair, and brown eyes.  He is clean shaven.
Tony seems to be in a nervous mood.
He looks perfectly healthy!
Tony Malone is wearing a pair of leather dress shoes, a pair of textured-wool
 slacks, a black CMPD flak vest, a jet black PBR communicator, and a dark wool suit.

Terrisa Chavez says, "On 28 September 2000, as per the deposition of Mr. Malone, a
 glass vase fitted with a radio detonation device, and packed with the plastique
 explosive commonly referred to as 'C4' was substituted for the usual floral
 arrangement.  This device was placed in the Board of Governors' meeting room in
 Town Hall on the central table."
Terrisa Chavez has a tight look on her face.
Terrisa Chavez says, "The regular security sweep of the room did not generally check
 the floral arrangements, and the device went unnoticed."
Terrisa Chavez says, "Sampling of the remains of the wooden table showed the melted
 fragments of the vase, and lab work on the fragments showed that they were
 consistent with what would have been a glass piece used as the container for the
 explosives."
Terrisa Chavez says, "The samples of the residue taken from the walls of that crime
 scene came back positive as having been made by a nitrated substance, more
 specifically C4, plastique explosive.  The lab believes the amount used was in the
 range of 5.5 to 7.5 pounds, which is consistent with the deposition made by Mr.
 Malone."
Terrisa Chavez says, "Plastique explosives can be 'cooked' from a variety of
 'recipes'.  The C4 found in Chandler Ghent's locked desk in his office was
 consistent with the composition of the residue taken from the scene of the
 bombing."
Terrisa Chavez flips a page in her notebook.
Terrisa Chavez says, "A fragment of wire, also found at the scene of the bombing,
 was believed to have been the antenna for the radio receiver of the detonation
 device.  In order to work, the antenna would have had to be set up with a highly
 specialized filter so only the correct frequency made it through.  This highly
 selective filter also 'received' a signal generally blocked by the the room's
 shielding.  These filters are extremely expensive, though available on the open
 market.  The lab feels that the explosion wou"
Walt Zanderbilt gets a distant look on his face as he ponders.
Terrisa Chavez says, "Feels that the explosion would have deconstructed or destroyed
 the receiver, as these pieces are usually fairly delicate."
Nadli Clu'sa gets a distant look on her face as she ponders.
Terrisa Chavez says, "Lab tests on the wire revealed it to be standard 10 gauge
 copper household grade, insulated, at least partially, with a PVC plastic coating. 
 Identical wire was found on the premises of 43B Jacaranda Way, the Ghent offices."
Terrisa Chavez looks up from her notes.  "Shall I continue?"
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Portia Bailey says, "Yes, please do."
Terrisa Chavez nods to Portia Bailey.
Terrisa Chavez says, "Moving to the physical evidence garnered from witness, Tony
 Malone ..."
Terrisa Chavez says, "Mr. Malone gave into police custody a device.  It is the
 transmitter which was used to activate the bomb in Town Hall."
Terrisa Chavez says, "The transmitter itself is a fairly sleek, if simple device,
 made to send out a specific, single, high-end signal.  Inside the device the
 transistor is visible and the word "Belgium" is stamped in white, raised lettering. 
 Removing other components of the system allows the full stamp to be seen: "Velleman
 Belgium"; indicating the manufacturer and the country of origin."
Terrisa Chavez says, "In the premises previously stated as the Ghent offices, a
 matching transistor was found.  It lay underneath Chandler Ghent's desk in his
 private office, resting at a cocked angle on the carpet.  It is this investigator's
 belief that it had fallen off the edge of the desk and bounced, unknown, out of
 sight of the room's occupants."
Terrisa Chavez says, "This transistor also bears the words, "Velleman Belgium" in
 white raised lettering -- identical in make as the transistor in the detonator
 supplied by Mr. Malone."
Terrisa Chavez flips to the next page in her notebook.
Terrisa Chavez says, "Wires taken from the detonator were shown to be household
 grade 18 gauge PVC-coated copper.  This type of wire is most commonly used for
 small electronics.  Country of origin for this specific wire is the USA. "
Terrisa Chavez says, "A spool of wire was removed from the 43B Jacaranda.  The lab
 found a 100% match with the previously sampled wire -- household grade 18 gauge
 PVC-coated copper manufactured in the USA."
Terrisa Chavez glances again briefly at the Councils for the Defense before
 continuing.
Portia Bailey glances at Chandler Ghent.
Terrisa Chavez says, "The last piece of physical evidence is a lot of nine pens. 
 Written testimony given by Delphine Courtney, the Steward's secretary, identifies
 these pens as being property of the Town Hall and were last seen by Miss Courtney
 in the Board of Governors' meeting room on the table the afternoon of 28 September. 
 Miss Courtney states that the pens are specially ordered from France, and it takes
 several weeks for an order to be filled if one strays or is damaged."
Chandler Ghent glances at Portia Bailey.
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Terrisa Chavez says, "All nine pens were found on the premises of 43B Jacaranda Way,
 the Ghent offices, on 30 September."
Terrisa Chavez clears her throat.
Terrisa Chavez says, "This concludes the review of the chain of physical evidence in
 this case."
Terrisa Chavez closes a spiral notepad.
Portia Bailey says, "Thank you detective."
Portia Bailey says, "Now, just to make sure we have this right..."
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Portia Bailey asks, "You found pieces to make a bomb like the one that killed 6
 people in the office of the defendant?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "I found components which could be used to fabricate a bomb in
 the office Mr. Ghent.  Yes."
Portia Bailey asks, "And the transmitter you found is rare on this island, is it?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Some of the components are very difficult to find on Morada."
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Portia Bailey asks, "Detective, how well do you know the defendant?"
Terrisa Chavez furrows her brow.
Terrisa Chavez says, "I only know him from investigation into his activities on the
 island."
Portia Bailey asks, "Do you know if he commonly keeps bomb making paraphenalia in
 his place of business?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "I know that in his prior place of business certain flamables
 and incindiaries were kept."
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Terrisa Chavez says, "I'm not acquainted with what he regularly stored in the
 Jacaranda locale."
Nadli Clu'sa arches an eyebrow.
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Nadli Clu'sa glances at the defense attorney.
Portia Bailey asks, "And the ingredients for the explosive C4, are those ingredients
 legal to own on Morada?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "No. C4 is considered an illegal material on the island."
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Portia Bailey asks, "Has the Police Department ever confiscated C4 on this island
 before?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Not while I have been in residence."
Portia Bailey asks, "Has your department ever confiscated a device like this
 transmitter before?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "No, ma'am."
Nadli Clu'sa frowns.
Portia Bailey says, "Thank you, Detective. I have no more questions."
Donnelly Harriman says, "Thank you, Ms. Bailey."
Portia Bailey nods to Donnelly Harriman.
Portia Bailey sits down.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Mr. Townsend or Mr. Chapel, would you like to cross-examine
 the witness?"
Winston Chapel stands back up.
Donnelly Harriman nods to Winston Chapel.
Winston Chapel says, "I would, Your Honor."
Winston Chapel smiles.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Please begin."
Terrisa Chavez shifts her weight.
Winston Chapel asks, "How long have you been with the Cape Marassas Police
 Department?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "A little over two years."
Winston Chapel asks, "How many cases have you been involved with concerning
 explosives in that time?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Two."
Winston Chapel asks, "What was the other one?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "If you include this one, then three."
Portia Bailey asks, "Objection! Relevance?"
Winston Chapel asks, "What were the other two, then?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "The first was an explosive device allegedly thrown by Chandler
 Ghent at a crowded street corner."
Terrisa Chavez says, "The other was a boobytraped ring given to a tourist, Mr. Mark
 Grant."
Donnelly Harriman says, "Objection overruled, Ms. Bailey.  The Defense may
 continue."
Mark Grant glares at Chandler Ghent.
Winston Chapel asks, "Would you consider yourself an expert in explosives based on
 these cases, Ms. Chavez?"
Chandler Ghent glances at the uncontrolled form of Mark Grant and coughs as if to
 say, "Behave yourself."
Terrisa Chavez says, "I am not a demolitions expert, though I have general police
 background in such matters."
Winston Chapel asks, "How long have you been Detective Chief Inspector?"
Walt Zanderbilt gets a distant look on his face as he ponders.
Terrisa Chavez says, "Since Adam Blackburn retired from the CMPD."
Winston Chapel asks, "Would you say less than a year?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Definitely less than a year."
Winston Chapel asks, "How many high profile arrests have you made since you have
 been Detective Chief Inspector?"
Terrisa Chavez raises an eyebrow at Winston Chapel.
Portia Bailey asks, "Objection! Relevance?"
Winston Chapel says, "Establishing foundation, Your Honor."
Arielle Drummond shifts her weight.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Objection sustained.  Please continue in a different line
 of questioning."
Winston Chapel says, "Yes, Your Honor."
Winston Chapel asks, "Was Mr. Ghent's Office at 43B Jacaranda Way locked when you
 arrived to search it?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "No, the premesis was not locked."
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Jewel Michaels gets a distant look on her face as she ponders.
Nadli Clu'sa listens closely.
Winston Chapel asks, "To your knowledge has this office ever been locked?"
Portia Bailey exclaims, "Objection!"
Portia Bailey stands back up.
Donnelly Harriman glances at Portia Bailey.
Winston Chapel glances at Portia Bailey.
Portia Bailey says, "Not introduced on direct."
Sami Market furrows her brow.
Nadli squints.
Winston Chapel says, "The office was introduced in direct, Your Honor."
Portia Bailey says, "Not the means of gaining entrance, though."
Jewel peers quizzically at Portia.
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Objection overruled.  You may continue, Mr. Chapel."
Walt Zanderbilt glances at Donnelly Harriman.
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Terrisa Chavez says, "I didn't make it a point to routinely test the lock, so I have
 no way of knowing."
Winston Chapel says, "Thank you, Your Honor."
Portia Bailey sits down.
Winston Chapel asks, "Is this office considered a public or private place of
 business?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "I don't know.   You'd have to address that to Mr. Ghent."
Winston Chapel nods.
Winston Chapel asks, "Was the evidence you found in this unlocked office tested for
 fingerprints?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Yes, it was."
Winston Chapel asks, "And Mr. Ghent's fingerprints were no where on this evidence?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "No, Mr. Ghent's fingerprints were not found on the evidence
 collected."
Portia Bailey exclaims, "Objection! Leading!"
Portia Bailey stands back up.
Gregory Townsend sighs.
Winston Chapel says, "Leading is allowed on cross, Your Honor."
Winston Chapel nods.
Winston Chapel asks, "To your knowledge does Mr. Ghent have any other offices on the
 island?"
Donnelly Harriman nods to Winston Chapel.
Nadli Clu'sa glances at Portia Bailey.
Nadli Clu'sa glances at Donnelly Harriman.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Overruled. Continue."
Portia Bailey sits down.
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Terrisa Chavez says, "He has a business location commonly known as "The Trench"."
Winston Chapel asks, "To your knowledge is this Trench office open to the public?"
Terrisa Chavez tries to hide smile.
Terrisa Chavez says, "It's no longer open to the public."
Winston Chapel asks, "And why is the Trench currently closed to the public?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "For a series of violations against building and safety code."
Winston Chapel asks, "Was this Trench office searched for evidence?"
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Terrisa Chavez says, "It was searched for evidence pertinent to this case, yes."
Winston Chapel asks, "Was any evidence found there relevant to this case?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "No."
Terrisa Chavez says, "There was not."
Winston Chapel asks, "What led you to investigate the Trench for violations in the
 first place?"
Portia Bailey exclaims, "Objection!"
Portia Bailey asks, "Your Honor, what has this to do with the case?"
Portia Bailey says, "None of this was introduced on Direct Examination of this
 witness."
Donnelly Harriman says, "I agree, Ms. Bailey.  Mr. Chapel, please keep your line of
 questioning to the matter on trial here."
Nadli Clu'sa nods.
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Winston Chapel asks, "Has C4 or a similar explosive ever been used for construction
 purposes on this island?"
Terrisa Chavez asks, "Demolitions, you mean?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "Not to my knowledge."
Winston Chapel asks, "Are explosives of any kind allowed for construction purposes
 on the island?"
Terrisa Chavez says, "I believe dynamite is commonly used here for deconstruction
 purposes."
Winston Chapel says, "Thank you for your time, Ms. Chavez. No further questions at
 this time, Your Honor."
Winston Chapel smiles.
Winston Chapel nods.
Donnelly Harriman nods to Winston Chapel.
Winston Chapel sits down.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Thank you, Detective Chavez.  You may step down."
Portia Bailey stands back up.
Terrisa Chavez stands back up.
Portia Bailey nods to Terrisa Chavez.
Terrisa Chavez moves back to her chair.
Terrisa Chavez sits down.

Donnelly Harriman asks, "Ms. Bailey, your second witness?"
Terrisa Chavez gives a silent exhalation.
Portia Bailey says, "Your Honor, the Crown calls Tony Malone."
Donnelly Harriman nods to Portia Bailey.
Tony Malone gulps.
Tony Malone stands back up.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Mr. Malone."
Terrisa Chavez gives Tony an encouraging nod.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Would you please step forward and raise your right hand to
 be sworn in?"
Tony Malone moves to the front of the courtroom and raises his right hand.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
 nothing but the truth about the matters involved in this trial?"
Tony Malone says, "I do."
Donnelly Harriman nods to Tony Malone.
Tony Malone sits down.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Thank you.  Ms. Bailey, your witnes."
Portia Bailey nods to Donnelly Harriman.
Portia Bailey asks, "Mr. Malone, do you have a job? Some type of steady employment?"
Tony Malone says, "Not really, at the moment."
Portia Bailey nods.
Portia Bailey asks, "Mr. Malone, have you ever had a steady job?"
Tony Malone says, "No; I mainly do freelance work here and there to pick up what
 money I need."
Portia Bailey asks, "Mr. Malone, what type of work do you usually do? Office work?"
Tony Malone shakes his head.
Portia Bailey nods.
Tony Malone says, "I don't like working inside."
Portia Bailey asks, "Have you ever been arrested, Mr. Malone?"
Walt Zanderbilt gets a distant look on his face as he ponders.
Arielle Drummond crosses her legs.
Tony Malone says, "Not for anything serious."
Tony Malone smiles slightly.
Portia Bailey gets a distant look on her face as she ponders.
Jewel peers quizzically at Tony.
Portia Bailey asks, "Not for anything serious, eh?"
Terrisa Chavez coughs.
Donnelly Harriman glances at Tony Malone.
Portia Bailey asks, "Would you call yourself a law-abiding citizen?"
Walt Zanderbilt glances at Tony Malone.
Tony Malone asks, "I try to follow the rules as best I can, but sometimes things ...
 well ... happen.  You know?"
Portia peers quizzically at Tony.
Portia Bailey asks, "Things happen, do they? Things we could call 'on the fringe of
 legality niceties'?"
Terrisa Chavez puts her notepad in her leather briefcase.
Portia squints at Tony.
Portia Bailey asks, "You live on the edge of the law, don't you Malone?"
Tony Malone says, "Label me as you will, but I'm a good person, who isn't proud of
 the things he's done."
Tony Malone says, "Some of the things, anyway."
Portia Bailey asks, "You scrape around the edges of big time crime and wait for the
 crumbs to fall from the table, don't you?"
Walt Zanderbilt glances at Winston Chapel.
Portia Bailey asks, "You're a nickel and dime cheap crook aren't you?"
Gregory Townsend says, "Objection, your Honor."
Gregory Townsend says, "Counsel is again leading her own witness."
Nadli Clu'sa blinks.
Donnelly Harriman nods to Gregory Townsend.
Winston Chapel coughs.
Portia Bailey says, "Withdrawn"
Donnelly Harriman says, "Please discontinue this questioning."
Donnelly Harriman nods to Portia Bailey.
Portia Bailey bows to Donnelly Harriman.
Walt Zanderbilt scratches his chin subtlely with a quirked eyebrow.
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Chandler Ghent draws a faint smile.
Portia Bailey asks, "Now, Mr. Malone, have you ever been conned? Duped?"
Tony Malone says, "Yes, I'm ashamed to say I have."
Tony Malone sighs.
Portia Bailey asks, "Would you say more than once?"
Terrisa Chavez chews on her thumbnail.
Tony Malone says, "Well, only one time really sticks in my mind."
Portia Bailey asks, "Only once, really?"
Portia Bailey stares at Tony Malone.
Tony Malone says, "Well, sometimes its a bit hard to know when you've been had, if
 you're had right."
Portia Bailey asks, "Well, we'll let that go. None of us want to admit when we've
 been had, do we?"
Portia Bailey smiles at Tony Malone.
Tony Malone says, "You'd know as well as I would."
Gregory Townsend sighs.
Portia Bailey asks, "Now, what can you tell us about the flower vase that blew up?"
Tony Malone says, "Well, that's just where we figured we could put the C4, and sneak
 it past security."
Portia Bailey asks, "Now, who put that explosive in the vase. Was it you?"
Tony Malone nods to Portia Bailey.
Portia Bailey asks, "And who got the vase into the room upstairs?"
Tony Malone says, "Judd was the one who planted it, and he did the little tweaks on
 the transmitter."
Portia Bailey nods to Tony Malone.
Walt peers quizzically at Tony.
Portia Bailey asks, "Now, did you know what that bomb would do upstairs?"
Tony Malone says, "Yes, that was the plan."
Portia Bailey asks, "So, the plan was to kill a lot of people, was it?"
Gregory Townsend glances at Portia Bailey.
Tony Malone says, "The plan was to do what I was paid to do.  That didn't involve
 thinking too much."
Portia Bailey nods.
Portia Bailey says, "Not thinking too much..."
Portia Bailey nods.
Jewel Michaels glances at Tony Malone.
Nadli Clu'sa nods.
Portia Bailey turns and walks away from the witness.
Portia Bailey wheels around.
Walt peers quizzically at Tony.
Portia Bailey asks, "Mr Malone, are you independently wealthy?"
Portia peers quizzically at Tony.
Tony Malone says, "Everyone has their needs.  And no one was hurt by a bit more
 money."
Portia Bailey asks, "So, you planted an explosive as strong as the one that brought
 that plane down over Lockerbie for money?"
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Tony Malone says, "I did what I was paid to do, and that's as much as I thought into
 it.  Now I'm regretting that."
Nadli Clu'sa shudders.
Portia Bailey asks, "Who paid you, Malone?"
Tony Malone says, "I was paid by that man over there."
Tony Malone points at Chandler Ghent.
Tony Malone says, "Mr. Ghent."
Portia Bailey says, "Let the record show the witness has indicated the defendant."
Chandler Ghent steeples his fingers in a thoughtful expression.
Donnelly Harriman nods to Portia Bailey.
Arielle Drummond glances at Chandler Ghent.
Portia Bailey asks, "Who planned this bombing, Malone?"
Portia Bailey asks, "Did you?"
Walt Zanderbilt gets a distant look on his face as he ponders.
Tony Malone says, "He told us what to do, and we carried it out."
Portia Bailey says, "Again, the witness has indicated the defendant, Chandler
 Ghent."
Donnelly Harriman nods to Portia Bailey.
Jewel Michaels seems uneasy.
Portia Bailey asks, "Now, this bombing was out of your usual penny-ante league,
 wasn't it Malone?"
Gregory Townsend glances at Donnelly Harriman.
Tony Malone says, "If you mean I usually don't do jobs this big, then yeah.  But it
 wasn't too unusual, in terms of size."
Portia Bailey asks, "You ever work with explosives before, Tony?"
Tony Malone says, "Yes.  It's sort of a hobby of mine."
Portia Bailey asks, "Maybe blow a safe or something?"
Portia Bailey seems to be waiting for something.
Tony Malone says, "I don't remember."
Portia Bailey nods.
Portia Bailey asks, "Ever work with radio transmitters before?"
Tony Malone says, "Yes, a few times."
Portia Bailey nods.
Walt Zanderbilt looks puzzled for a moment.
Portia Bailey asks, "Then would you say that this caper of yours and Ghents went
 like clockwork?"
Tony Malone says, "It worked, yes."
Portia Bailey asks, "Did it go according to plan?"
Tony Malone says, "Nothing works like clockwork."
Tony Malone says, "It did up until the detonation."
Tony Malone says, "Then things started to go wrong."
Portia Bailey says, "What was wrong with the detonation, Tony? It blew up real
 good."
Gregory Townsend says, "Objection, your honor."
Gregory Townsend says, "Counsel is testifying."
Donnelly Harriman nods to Gregory Townsend.
Winston Chapel nods.
Donnelly Harriman says, "Please restate your question, Ms. Bailey."
Walt Zanderbilt nods.
Portia Bailey asks, "What was wrong with the detonation?"
Tony Malone says, "Nothing."
Tony Malone says, "It's what happened afterward."
Tony Malone says, "I was supposed to meet up with Judd, and he never showed.  Then I
 started hearing rumors ..."
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Tony Malone says, "... rumors that I wasn't going to get paid, and that there might
 even be money out on my head."
Jewel Michaels glances at Tony Malone.
Tony Malone says, "And that's when I came to the police."
Portia Bailey nods to Tony Malone.
Nadli Clu'sa shifts slightly in her seat.
Portia Bailey asks, "Did you feel like you were in over your head?"
Tony Malone says, "Well, if you thought you had a bunch of thugs after you, I think
 you'd feel that way, too."
Portia Bailey nods to Tony Malone.
Jewel Michaels leans back.
Portia Bailey asks, "Now, why did you join with Ghent to blow up the Board of
 Governors?"
Tony Malone says, "To get money."
Portia Bailey asks, "Any other reasons, Tony?"
Tony Malone says, "And it also appealed to my desire to strike back at authority."
Tony Malone says, "I guess."
Walt Zanderbilt blinks.
Walt Zanderbilt gets a distant look on his face as he ponders.
Tony Malone says, "If you want me to put a psychobabble spin on it."
Tony Malone says, "I saw Ghent as the way I could do that."
Walt Zanderbilt smirks.
Portia Bailey says, "That's fine, Tony. Thank you. No more questions Your Honor."
Donnelly Harriman nods to Portia Bailey.
Nadli Clu'sa takes a deep breath of air.
Walt Zanderbilt breathes a sigh of relief.
Portia Bailey sits down.
Donnelly Harriman asks, "Mr. Townsend or Mr. Chapel, do you have any questions for

 the designated time."

Winston Chapel asks, "Was he also in a place safely hidden from the blast?"
Tony Malone says, "Yes, or he was supposed to, anyway."
Walt peers quizzically at Tony.

 device that destroyed Town Hall?"

 goes and hangs out at Town Hall?"
