PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

Wow.
What worse could the prosecutor do to these poor children...
Objection: Speculation, leading the whitness, immaterial.
Now, I can sort of imagine Pryce deliberately choosing to not prep Gwen on what to say here, but it was still a low trick that doesn't seem to have any purpose. Since the judge and Pryce likely don't know each other, I doubt the judge would be willing to cut him any extra slack. He might even swing the other way, given Pryce's reputation.
Todd -
Indeed.
AnakMoon -
I will now quote ENDER'S GAME, my favorite book in the world.
"...the terrible things are only about to begin."
Um the Muse -
Pryce will explain himself later.
As far as Pryce's theatrics, you can look at it from two angles:
1) I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure how much Pryce could actually get away with. Any advice from an actual US attorney would be appreciated for the rewrite.
2) Charterton's a town of maybe 60,000 people - maybe. Might be lower. I'm not sure a judge (even a federal judge) in the juvenile court division of a city with 60,000 is playing at All-Star levels - whereas Pryce is an $800 an hour attorney from Manhattan. We're talking NBA MVP. He probably turned down OJ Simpson in '95 because the dude wouldn't pay him enough.
PS - I just googled 'most expensive lawyer' and turned up a former US Attorney General who charges $1,000.
Seems Pryce might have to make $1100 an hour in the rewrite.
