The defense
EMMA
Plea: NOT GUILTY
I plead the fifth on the thumbs up, but I move to submit as evidence that I have eaten his 'experimental' cooking for six years without filing a single complaint of my own. The dog has taste. I have manners. I request the charges be dropped.
The verdict is in
ACQUITTED
