[WITNESS] G.O: Which one?
[LAWYER] M.A: The one where you report the wounds right after to the police, Sir Gael?
[WITNESS] G.O: Well, the day before this.. incident.. Lenard came to my house and returned my house keys. So, I decided I needed to do the same. It was just my mistake to.. go alone. I went to Lenard's apartment and knocked on the door. He opened it. I pulled out the keys and handed it to him. He asked if I needed anything more and I asked if we could speak about our children. You see.. we share two children, Lenard and I. Shortly after Lenard was arrested, I adopted two of his children, Fu and Niki as my own. He stepped aside and gestured for me to come inside... He pinned me to the wall, gripped my wrists w-with.. just.. such force.. he pulled my hair... kicked Me.. he shoved me to the ground and left me there.. crying - beaten.. alone.. bleeding internally in my chest. He left the apartment, and looked all the doors. I passed out and.. when I woke. I called Rini, a teacher at Karakura high school. I said help.. Lenard's apartment, and she game and had to kick-down the door. She brought me to the hospital where I underwent surgery for the internal bleeding in my chest. Done by surgeon Damon.
[WITNESS] G.O: I almost died... I would have if it wasn't for Rini, her son, and Damon.
[WITNESS] G.O: T-Thats... all..
[LAWYER] M.A: That is all for my question, your honor.
[LAWYER] M.H: Mr. O'Leary. You claim to be abused by Mr. Hanazono, but it didn't seem like so in your texts with him. The evidence shows that you were persistent with Mr. Hanazono, and wanted to be with him despite his ongoing relationship. You were jealous, and even wrote a poem about your jealousy and frustration. Could you explain what that , book is about?
[LAWYER] M.A: Objection, relevance, your honor?
[WITNESS] G.O: It is true, I followed him around. You could say I was like a little duckling. It's true.
[WITNESS] G.O: Lenard truly.. The truth to why I followed him around is because he was all I had at the time. I had just moved to Karakura and Lenard was the first man I met. Lenard.. isolated me.. from the other faculty. Yes. I did write poems about him. Most of them were of my many emotions spilled out on paper Sadness of how he treated me, jealousy of how the lead me on then ignored me, anger on how he treated his children and his current girlfriend at the time. These poems were my way of letting out my emotions of these events. It was my own little book of emotions.
[LAWYER] M.H: Thank you, my next question. If Mr. Hanazono had allegedly struck you. Would you mind speaking out on the night where the KPD was called to an apartment complex in regards to an abusive situation not involving Lenard. Could you speak about that night?
[LAWYER] M.H: The night where your daughter was the one seen abusing you?
[JUDGE] K.H: Be aware that if you are to disrupt this court room you can be held in contempt of court, this goes for the ones watching as well.
[LAWYER] M.A: Your honor, objection, relevance again?
[LAWYER] M.H: Mr. O'Leary you are known to drink a lot, and are under the influence quite often during your times with Lenard. Potentially even injuring yourself a lot of the times while intoxicated. Could you speak upon your drinking issues around Lenard, and your kids.
[LAWYER] M.A: Your honor! objection, relevance!
[LAWYER] M.H: Your honor, I'd like to call Miss Hanazono to the stand. Lenard's Daughter, as well as a Karakura High School student.
I was unable to transcript any further statements from the trial once Miss. Futsuetsi Hanazono O'Leary was brought up to the stand, but soon after she was, she spoke about incidents where Mr. Hanazono and Mr. O'Leary did not want to engage in any fights around the children. As the trial ended, Mr. Lenard Hanazono was found. . .
