Trial

“Lying has consequences. Sometimes telling the truth has worse consequences. Tell the truth anyway.”

“Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God and Odin?”

“I do,” said Wraith. The court tittered. Judge Markan smiled just a bit, showing off her tiny white teeth. She knew damn well Bailiff De’Wayne Conroy was making sure Wraith told the truth, in his own way. The enormous bailiff slowly walked away. Wraith maneuvered into a seated position. Her back and neck still ached. Her occupational therapist was trying to kill her.

Leah Sakanski, a short, stocky woman with a cascade of brown hair and gray eyes, stood to ask Wraith questions —for the defense. She was wearing a tan suit that looked fabulous on her. Leah went over Wraith’s DEA, and being loaned out to the ATF, past.

“And what were you doing on March thirteenth of last year?”

“I was interviewing Roland Kasem, the defendant.”

“At what time was this?” asked Leah.

“From six o’clock at night to nearly eight,” said Wraith. The courtroom erupted. Judge Markan pounded her gavel. The courtroom quieted.

“Did you tell the District Attorney Ray Evars this was the case?” asked Leah.

“Four separate times,” said Wraith. “Once about two weeks after Rolly was arrested, and once I had the time of death from the newspaper, I called his office. I also sent over a fax of all my notes from that night. I then called his office three separate times over the next two weeks, and I was rebuffed all three times. I have the dates and times in the precis I gave you. I also spoke with ADA Rumin Kelis, and recorded both those interviews, with ADA Kelis’ permission.”

“Your Honor, if it pleases the court. Ex-DEA Special Agent Annika Jensen’s precis is a copy of all her notes, the receipt of the facts including dates and times, and transcriptions of the recordings of both discussions with ADA Rumin Kelis. I have it here, and I would like this marked as Peoples’ Exhibit D.”

“So ordered,” said the judge. She took a copy, and Leah passed them out to ADA Michael Kellers and his second chair, ADA Rudi Meyers, just two years out of law school. She also gave a copy to the jury.

“Can you give us a short synopsis of this interview?” asked Leah.

“I can,” said Wraith. “I can’t give away everything that was said. Some of the discussion was about names and leads the DEA and ATF are still pursuing, as far as I know. At the time, I was pretending to be someone doing Rolly’s job in another city. Essentially, Rolly was showing me his Rolex, and laughing, telling how he took it in payment for black tar heroin. He also told me his drug route, and some information about both his customers and his suppliers. I was trying to get the name of the person a level up or two, but I wasn’t having any luck.” Wraith took a drink of water and continued.
