Summary
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client is innocent. Melissa King is a woman of evidence. Of structure. As a doctor, she lives by "do no harm."
When she asked her married colleague to pose as her boyfriend, she had thought it was safe because... well. Locks. His door was locked.
The prosecution will say she should have known.
But the defense asks only this: how could she have known the lock on the other side was acutally open?
We call our first witness

For her twenty-eighth Valentine’s Day, Melissa King goes out to dinner with her boyfriend.
They have been officially together for fifteen days. Mel has a crusty, two-week-old glued scar in the middle of her head from a run in with a patient. Her twin sister is ghosting her. She is the happiest she has ever been.
The only problem she really has in her life right now, is that her boyfriend won’t have sex with her.
