as to your final comment ont he last entry "SPEED IT UP THEN!"
I don't think any of us would mind :D

Poor Peter... I kind of question if his father drove off a cliff after leaving because that speech sounds an awful lot like a final goodbye speech, 'i loved my son so much i wanted to take him with me when i went just to hurt his mother' kind of stuff.

“I…I said I had to go to the bathroom, and could I get a candy bar, and he said yes…and then I went inside, and I went to bathroom, and I came out and got a candy bar, and…and…”

I went to the bathroom, maybe?

“No further questions, Your Honor,” he said quietly, and walked back to the defendants table.

To the defendants' table?

Nah, I went to bathroom reads well to me... we've got a little boy remembering a traumatic event... it makes sense to me that he'd start talking in terms of things he said during the event.

Maybe Peter is actually from Yorkshire, where the definite article is banned by Crown law?

AnakMoon -
Haha! Well, we'll have to see about that...

See, I sped up the trial story by an extra page or two per day, and now you just want more!

Todd -
Good catches on both. Thanks!

Seaspray -
I wish I could say that it was an intentional usage, and thanks for defending me, but nope, I just messed up...

Rubberduck -
THAT'S IT!

I'm going to rewrite the whole Peter saga to take place in England so I can have Dill say "guv'nah" all the time.

"'Ey, wot's that, guv'nah?"
