The rumors surrounding her had painted her in an unfavorable light, and the disdain from the audience was palpable. Jamie, however, paid no mind to the negativity. With legal codes in hand and confidence in her knowledge, she stepped onto the stage and began her defense, her voice calm and commanding as she addressed the mock case.
"During the altercation," Jamie started, "evidence shows that the aggressor retained mobility and the ability to continue the attack. Miss Russell's actions to neutralize the threat were necessary and should not be classified as excessive self-defense." Her delivery was poised, her argument well-structured, as she advocated passionately on behalf of her client.
Her opponent cleared his throat, a smirk on his face.

This clearly demonstrates a lack of intent to harm." The opposing counsel paused, then pressed forward. "But Miss Russell's actions ultimately resulted in the aggressor's death. That is a fact that cannot be ignored." Jamie inhaled deeply, preparing for her final rebuttal. She knew this was the crux of the argument.
