MoM vs. James Roland

Jess couldn't help but let his face reflect the fury he felt as Khaat chose to completely ignore his calls, rather than provide a proper answer to his question - how could the prosecution hope to maintain a proper case when they refused to answer any question led by the courts.

Falmouth Falcons.” She was not fishing for compliments, she was just trying to prove her adequacy, something she rarely she felt she had to do.
