(Somewhere in more than a dozen American cities between April 1996 and March 1998.)
(Two observers whispering in the courthouse)
– Where is the Judge?
– He’s been away for a while
Behind a closed door
– Where are the prosecutors?
– They’re in the Judge’s chamber
Standing on the floor
– Where is the defense team?
– Waiting outside in frustration
In the corridor
(Judge and prosecutors enter the courtroom)
D(efense): What are the charges?
J(udge): I can’t tell you
D: Who are the accusers?
J: I can’t tell you.
D: Are there any witnesses?
J: I can’t tell you.
D: Where are the documents?
J: I can’t tell you.
D: What’s the evidence?
J: It’s secret.
D: But this is America, it doesn’t fit.
(Someone whispering)—And if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit. Or is it quit!
D: Your honor, based on the testimony
And evidence presented,
We proved that the defendant,
Is a role model in the community
J: Yes, but based on the secret evidence,
I find him a threat to national security
My hands are tied,
Bail is denied
