Prosecutor: Your Honour, esteemed members of the jury, the case

land theft. Mr Ngafu, the defendant, is accused of
unlawfully obtaining land rightfully owned by the
plaintiff, Mr Tulli. We will establish beyond a reasonable
doubt that Mr Ngafu committed fraud and trespassed
FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
Mr Tulli’s property with knowledge.

Defence Attorney: Your honour, I object! The prosecution is accusing my
client without evidence.

Judge: Sustained. Prosecutor, please continue presenting your
evidence.

Prosecutor: Your honour, thank you. Mr Tulli, please take the stand.
[Mr Tulli takes the stand, swearing to speak the truth.]

Mr Tulli, can you describe the events leading up to the
alleged land theft by Mr Ngafu?
Mr Tulli: Certainly. I own the land in question and I have legal
documents to prove it, having bought it over a decade
ago. But Mr Ngafu started building structures on my
land and claimed it as his own without any legal right
or permission.
Prosecutor: And did you confront Mr Ngafu about this trespass?

Mr Tulli: Yes, I did indeed. I demanded he stop what he was
doing and leave the area right away. But he refused,
pointing to forged documents purportedly proving his
ownership.
Defence Attorney: Your honour, objection! The witness is making
speculative statements regarding the documents without
proper authentication.
Judge: Overruled. The witness has the right to recount his
experiences.

Prosecutor: Mr Tulli, did you file a lawsuit against Mr Ngafu?

Mr Tulli: Yes, I did file a complaint with the local authorities and
hired a lawyer to represent me in court.

Prosecutor: Thank you, Mr Tulli. No more inquiries.
Defence Attorney: Your Honour, I request the opportunity to
cross-examine the witness.
