Midseason finale: The dark presence feels closer to Anna than ever; Ms. Preecher may know the truth about what’s happening to Anna and Dex. (Return date TBA) |
The judge orders Dawson to call his first witness. If it please the court, says Dawson, the prosecution had intended to call as its first witness Mr. Lamar Trask, whose testimony is considers vital to this case--however, I should like to postpone Mr. Trask's appearance in favor of another witness, one who came forth this morning with information I feel may expedite a decision in this case--Samantha Collins. Objection! Shouts Desmond--under the law, she cannot take the witness stand! May I ask why not? queries Dawson. You know very well why not, says Desmond, she is the defendant's wife--and he would have to waive his constitutional rights--and he will NOT waive them! The estate would point out to the counselor that the law which applies here pre-dates the constitution by almost a hundred years. The judge tells Desmond there is nothing in the law that states a wife may not testify against her husband--there is, indeed, ample evidence that in trials of this nature, wives were allowed to take the witness stand. Your honor, may I have a ruling? Demands Desmond. Your objection is overruled, says Judge Vail--the tribunal calls Samantha Collins. She enters the courtroom and Quentin stares at her with hatred. She is sworn in on a bible and swears to tell the whole truth. Dawson asks her how long she's been married to the defendant. Almost 16 years, she says. How long have you known for an absolute fact that Quentin Collins indulged in occult practices.For as long as I have been married to him, says Sam. Desmond has his fist pressed against his forehead, and objects, insisting he wants the term occult practices defined. The judge tells Desmond the court would interpret this phrase to mean any act of witchcraft or sorcery perpetrated against another human being. Desmond says the defense is very happy with that definition, and thus asks the prosecution to re-phrase the question. The judge tells him to do so. I withdraw the question, says Dawson--Mrs. Collins, I know you must have searched your conscience long and hard before deciding to take the stand against your husband--will you tell the court specifically what brought you to this decision? My husband has always dabbled in the occult, she says, even though he's been repeatedly warned not to do so by his own father. Objection, says Desmond, the witness is not giving a direct answer to the question. Sustained, says the judge--Mrs. Collins, the counsel for the prosecution has asked you to testify to a specific incident--please do so.
... I want to get into something else members and long-time visitors to the forum may have noticed and that's that back in 2009 when we were doing a slideshow of the quotes from the Fest's 1999 Movies Calendar and then again in 2016 when we did a slideshow devoted exclusively to NoDS, I'd used these graphics -
- for 2009 and 2016, respectively, to illustrate what was used of Laura's lines from Scene 67A. However, this time around I replaced the version of the still that I'd originally used with a much better version -
Interestingly enough, the version of the still that I originally used was published in the DS Movie Book but, oddly, its coloring was not correct. In the ensuing years since 2016 I've come across two different versions of varying quality that were shared online that feature the correct coloring, and after correcting for the angle in which the photo of the still was taken -
- when it was used so long ago on worthpoint.com to sell an autographed photo of Diana Millay that the details of the sale are no longer indicated, I went with that one...
Something I discovered online back in March:
NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS-LARA PARKER & DAVID SELBY-MISSING SCENE- LOT OF 8-B/W 4X6
It's quite interesting that there's nothing of Diana Millay/Laura...
