You decide to bring up the cheque

“Your honor, If you see, there was a large cheque that was supposed to be for a Barrad Jack Flong, but simply never went through. When I had talked to the teller working at the time of the robbery, it became clear to me that this cheque was clearly meant to be a distraction, never meant to actually go through, just take the teller's eyes off of the things happening in front of them.”

The jury looks around, confused about what they just heard. You cut your losses and move on with the case.

You decide to bring up the teller’s testimony

“Your honor, may I bring a witness to the stand?” “You may.” The teller steps up. “Say the same thing to them you said to me.” You say to the teller in a reassuring voice.

“Everything was normal until that man, that Barred, rolled in. He handed over a large cheque that isn't scanning in properly, and then, for some reason, people started rushing in and out from the vault en mass, and by the time I managed to look back, Barred was gone. I try to hold my steadily increasing anxiety together and try to continue attempting to scan in the cheque when suddenly, the alarms go off. 'Robbery detected, mass internal digital breach' On and on and on and before much longer, I had spiraled into an anxiety attack. All I could do was ball up on the floor as people rushed in and out of the vault for an hour. Is that all?"

“Yes,” you reply. “You may come back down now, and sit with Saul.”

You decide to bring up the digital breach

“Your honor, if I may stretch a bit…”

and suddenly, for some reason you tune yourself out. It's not long to you hear even yourself saying,

“why did I bring this up again?” Your eyes widen as you realize the mistake you made. You glance up and see Jackson, try to hold back a laugh!

This was a potentially fatal mistake.
