AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Payne chuckled. "I suppose it could be interpreted that way... if it didn't incriminate your client even more!"

"Wh-what!?"

"Think about it. Since Nname was shot, there wouldn't be any lack of blood, right? Fyste could've just taken out a pen, dipped in in, and scrawled out a signature on some old paper towels!"

That's... that's right! Clearly, there's only one thing to do.

>Give Up
>Take a blood test
>Object until someone gives

tch! i would say object until someone gives, but i guess the blood test will have to do, even if i don't really know what that will prove :V

"I propose the lab team tests this blood!"

"Very well. Bailiff! Order a test on this piece of evidence!"

"Here are the results, Your Honor."

{Blood Test added to the Court Record}

There were three signatures in blood.

1. Dated Feb 06, with cocaine residue
2. Dated September 14 of the previous year, with little cocaine residue
3. Dated June 21 of the previous year, no cocaine residue

"Wh-what's this?!", Payne cried. "One of the signatures bears no cocaine residue!"

"Yes. But they're all Mr. Nname's blood, so this type of signature must've been common practice for Nname. Therefore, it isn't unreasonable to say the most recent receipt was signed willingly by Mr. Nname himself!"

"B-but...! Why wouldn't one result have any residue?"

"Simple. Mr. Carlton, around what time did you first hear of these West Side dealings?"

"...! Around summer last year! Why?"

"I suggest to the court that Mr. Nname's first usage of cocaine was after he signed this receipt on June 21!"

"And what relevance does this have to the case, Wright?"

"Simple, Your Honor. Without the work of a talented forger, Mr. Nname would've had to have paid off his dues on the drug, therefore tossing this into a strange light!"
