“Thank you, Officer Cady,” John Henry said. “I think that gives us all a pretty good idea of who you are. Now, can you tell us, please, what your duties as a police officer entail?”

“I’m a patrolman,” Cady replied. “I have a partner. When we’re on duty, it’s our job to patrol around the city, making sure that folks are safe and don’t need any help, and we’re also looking for any suspicious activity.”

“What exactly do you mean by ‘suspicious’ activity?”

“We usually look for evidence of crimes, like break-ins, vandalism -- that sort of thing,” Cady explained. “And we take note of people who maybe aren’t where they should be, or who are maybe doing things they shouldn’t be doing.”

“According to police records, you and your partner were on the midnight to eight shift on February 10th of this year,” John Henry continued. “Is that correct?”

“Yes, it is.”

“And where exactly were you and your partner at approximately six-twenty-five that morning?”

“My partner and I were responding to a call from lower Broad Street, near the docks.”

“Who had placed the call?”

“I believe it came from an employee with the local garbage company.”

“And what was the call about?”

“We were told it was about a body that had been found in the alley behind Broad Street, not too far from the dock, and right across from the back entrance to The Last Call Bar and Grill.”

“And what happened when you responded to that call, and went into that alley?”

“We found Detective Scott there,” the police officer replied. “That is -- we found his body. He was deceased.”

“Will you please describe for the jury the condition that the body was in when you found it?” John Henry prompted.
