Tom, the judge, and the lawyer all face each other tensely in the court room. "I have some questions to ask you Mr. Tom, where were you on September 1st at 9:30 am?" The lawyer asks sternly.
"I was at a coffee shop studying." Answered Tom.
"Who were you with?" Questioned the lawyer.
"No one, but an old friend of mine from college was there. I talked to her for about 10 minutes."
"What is her name?"
"Jill White." Tom answered.
"What exactly did y'all talk about?' The lawyer interrogated.
"We were just catching up. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years. She was telling me about her new job and her kids. That was really all."
"Okay, but how do I not know you were in the alley right next to the coffee shop during the time of the murder of our town mayor?"
"Why would you suspect such a thing? This is crazy!" Asked Tom frantically.
"Answer my question." Replied the lawyer quickly.
"Like I said, I was in the coffee shop studying. I had no clue what was going on until I saw the bright red lights flashing and swarming the streets. That is when I stepped outside to see what was going on. I asked a police officer and all he told me was to stay inside and that there was a murderer on the loose." Tom calmly answered.
"Okay. That is all of my questions for now. Thank you Mr. Tom." Concluded the lawyer.
