Lawsuits filed by supernatural beings. Bonus points for mentioning Wolff and Byrd!
(#00589 - A224)
“All rise.”
Lou Pine looked meek and mild at the defendant’s bench. Bracketed on one side by a tall woman with distinctive white hair, and on the other by a small man of seemingly permanent nonchalance. Noth lawyers seemed very happy to be defending miss Pine.
“Your honour, this is a blatant case of harassment,” began Ms Wolff. “The local police know miss Pine has a prescription for Wolfsbane on a medical concession she won in this court just last year. The police continue to harass her and stop and frisk her more regularly than any other citizen of that neighbourhood.”
“We have evidence to back that up,” added Byrd.
“It’s clear that the police want to start trouble with Miss Pine simply because of her medical condition.”
“Which is–?” prompted the judge.
“Lycanthropy, your honour.”
The judge made a little groaning noise and muttered, “…I thought this was one of the normal ones…”
“May we approach, your honour?”
“What’s going on?” whispered Miss Pine.
“I’m very sorry,” murmured Mr Byrd. “But it looks like we might have to present this case in front of another judge. Prejudice and all that.”
