Whiskey, glass, pour, toss back, glare. Repeat. “Cop out,” I slurred in retaliation, pointing the empty glass at Peter. “Don’t get drunk. Fuck. I need you sober,” he yelled, snatching the glass out of my hand. “There’s the problem right...
John Gibbons: Mr. Tipton, I see you wear glasses. Mr. Tipton: Yes I do. John Gibbons: Could you show those glasses to the court, please? Okay, now were you wearing them that day? Mr. Tipton: No. John Gibbons: Uh huh. You see? You were fifty feet away...
