Deputy DA: Stand up and talk to the jury.
Your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury: the defendant has been charged with the crime of not complying with the court notice of vacating the house located in southern hemisphere of Coolaroo Victoria where airports commission need space to extend their freight handling facilities. The evidence will show that defendant has also manipulated the neighbors to not comply with the court notice. The evidence I present will prove to you that the defendant is guilty as charged.
Public Defender: Stand up and talk to the jury.
Your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury: under the law my client is presumed innocent until proven guilty. During this trial, you will hear no real evidence against my client. You will come to know the truth that Mr. John Gilbert and his neighbors are not considered stakeholders in this agreement between federal government and airports commission. Even they are threated, bullied and are offered bribe. Only the notice is been imposed to them to vacate their houses. Therefore my client is not guilty.
Judge: The prosecution may call its first witness.
Deputy DA: The People call Mr. John Gilbert.
Bailiff takes the witness to the witness stand.
Clerk: Please stand. Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
John: I do.
Clerk: Please state your first and last name.

Clerk: You may be seated.
Deputy DA: [Stand up.] John, where do you work?
John: I worked for a truck making company. Martinez.
Deputy DA: Are you still working there?
John: No, I am retired now.
Deputy DA: What do you do for your living now?
John: I was a tow truck driver but now retired. Me and my wife runs a small tiffin service.
Deputy DA: What is the case you are putting?
John: I told earlier, I mean no one can just walk in and take a man’s house.
Deputy DA: Mr John are you disputing the amount of compensation?
John: I’m not interested in compensation. I’m saying that no one can kick me out like that.
Deputy DA: Very well. What is your argument?
John: That’s it, that’s my argument. You cn’t kick me out.
Deputy DA: And on what law do you base that argument?
John: The law of bloody common sense.
Deputy DA: Mr John I must ask you to constrain yourself.
John: Yeah, all right.
Deputy DA: Mr John this is the administrative appeal tribunal, you are an applicant, and you need to show.
John: I need to show, so it’s up to me is it.
Deputy DA: Mr John, Airlink, as a federal authority has the right to purchase property compulsorily. As far as I can see you have offered no evidence to refute that right.
John: No evidence. It’s not a house it’s a home, a man’s home is his castle, I mean it’s Jack’s castle, it’s Farook’s castle. You can’t just walk in and steal our homes.
Deputy DA: You’ll be compensated!
John: I don’t want to be compensated you can’t buy what I’ve got.
Deputy DA: What is your case in law! (With an angry face)
John: No evidence. It’s not a house it’s a home, a man’s home is his castle, I mean it’s Jack’s castle, it’s Farook’s castle. You can’t just walk in and steal our homes.
Deputy DA: Well OK ah the law is supposed to be about justice, no fairness and I know sometimes what is right and fair is not clear cut. It’s a bit iffy. But this is not iffy. I mean this is as clear as day. It is right and
fair that a family be allowed to live in its own house. That is justice. I rest my case.
(Clapping from Farook)
Thank you, I have no further questions.
Judge: Does the defense have any questions?
Public Defender: Not at this time, Your Honor.
Judge: The witness is excused.
[Wait for the witness to leave the stand.]
The prosecution may call the next witness.
Deputy DA: The People call the Mr. Farook (Neighbor of Mr. John Gilbert).
[Bailiff takes the witness to the witness stand.]
Clerk: Please stand. Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
