DIRECT EXAMINATION BY PROSECUTION
Q Ms. Shore, how do you know Olivia?
A We've been best friends since 2009, when we both vomited on a bouncer at the exact same time.
Q What can you tell me about Exhibit A in front of you?
A It's a screenshot from our group chat. Queen, Bee Emoji, Royal$, R-O-Y-A-L-dollar sign, and then, um, do I need to read the other emojis for the record?
Q Your honour?
JUDGE: I'm curious to know.
A Okay, uh, baby chick looking confused in its shell, squirt gun pointing at baby chick, upside-down smiley face, seven thermometers, embarrassed face, face with a zipper for a mouth, lady scientist with dark skin tone, lady judge with medium skin tone, white lady at a computer, and then all the skin tones of woman getting a haircut.
Q And what is the screenshot of?
A When Olivia first told us about her crush on Jason. Olivia says, "you guys I found my new husband, he plays the harmonica!" And my response was "Ew, Olivia WTF".
Q And why was that unacceptable in your mind?
A We implemented a strict "no-harmonica players" rule after the third one she dated very sexually serenaded her boss at her office holiday party. Recently we found out Jason is that guy's brother.
Q Do you have anything else to add about Jason?
A Honestly, I just want it on record that his winter boots are boat shoes. Boat shoes!

Q And can you please tell me what Exhibit C is?
A Yeah, it's Jason's text to me after he stood me up. Jason says, "Hey Brit, got stuck at my buddy's house, borrowing a G. Or wait, you got cash?"
Q Can you translate the text for us?
A He says that he's trying to borrow a thousand dollars from his friend, and then he asks if I have money.
