Pt. 5: Justice

Jasper Juvenile court 1 week later

The court room was packed with the victim's families, the shooting victims and press, as today was the day Edward Chase was being sentenced.

"After a week of hearing evidence from the state and from the defense, I would like to take this opportunity to open the floor to anyone that wishes to speak their peace before I cast sentence." said the judge

Several upset parents of the murdered students spoke condemning Eddy, saying that he should rot in jail, that their child would never bully another, things of that nature. Eddy looked down as he knew and understood the anger that they felt towards him. Meanwhile back at the base all of the Autobots were in the command room watching the news coverage as the saw the testimonies of the parents.

"These humans make the decepticons seem nice." said Arcee as heard the venom in the mothers voice.

"Their offsprings was killed, all of their anger is understandable." commented Optimus

[Back in the court room]

"Is there anyone else?" as the Judge

"I'll like to speak." Miko said

Her brother Lao helped her up and escorted her to the podium. Dressed in a long black skirt, a purple v-neck blouse and hair pulled back into a single ponytail she looked like a completely different person.

"Victims of the shooting, and their families I understand completely the nature of your words against Eddy. What he did is inexcusable, but what you fail to relize that he is much a victim as you and your children are."

Shouts of anger and shock erupted in the court room as the judge bangs the gavel to quiet them down.

"Order, Order in this courtroom."

When the crowd quieted own Miko continued

"Everyday he has to deal with the constant harassment of his peers, the looks, the taunts, the placing of "Hi my name is Lame-o signs on your back, having a tray full of food dumped on your head. Can you imagine the humiliation of having milk drip down your face, messing up the only real clothes that you have? The gales of laughter as your tormentor just pretty much made you the laughing stock of the entire school? Having someone that you though was your friend chuckle?

Having to go home and explain to your wanted criminal of a father what happened to you, only to get slapped down and called a wimp. No you don't cause the only thing you see is a child who can't handle a simple hazing. Try going through this scenario every single time you move because the heat is one and your dad wants to stay out of jail. How can any of you fathom the amount of torment not only from home but from school. You can't because all you can see is someone who decided to fight back with a gun because the school systems have failed him, his family has failed him, and his friends have failed him."

The faces of some of the victims and families turned and started to feel guilty for saying what they have said, others were stern and absolute.

"I may have been shot twice by the gun Eddy used, but I bare no ill will towards him. I'll stand by him as his friend and his extended family. In closing I humbly ask the courts to show some leniency when sentencing him, because what he did was wrong but circumstances left him with no real option, Thank you"

Miko turned and walked away with Lao helping her to her seat.

[At the base]

"That was a very moving speech." said Ratchet

"That's my girl." said Bulkhead

"This ought to get the judge to lessen the sentence." said Arcee

"We'll find out shortly."

[Courtroom]

"Does anyone else share Miss Nakadai's sentiment?" asked the Judge

"I do" said Raf

"Me too" said Jack

"As do I." said June

Surprisingly some of the victims stood up as a sign of support for what Miko said.

"Well we will recess for 15 mins while I make my decision." bangs Gavel

[Afterwards]

The judge had sentenced Eddy to serve 5 years probation at a juvenile half-way home in Colorado Springs, CO along with attending regular therapy sessions to deal with his self esteem issues. His mom moved with him and is now going to night school to become a Domestic Violence counselor to help others like her.

Vince was expelled from school for all the trouble he caused. His parents decided that giving him a free reign was the cause of the problem so he was shipped off to a military academy in Sarasota, Fl. Miko found it fitting because the drill sergeants can bully him for a while.

Eddy Sr. was found guilty of Multiple counts of Armed robbery, fleeing across state lines, and Domestic Violence. He was sentenced to life in federal prison without the slightest chance of parole.

Jack's shoulder healed up nicely and is back to riding Arcee.

Raf had fully recovered from the psychological damage of that day and is enjoying video games with bumblebee.

Miko spent time with Lao and Keiko before they headed back home with a promise to have her come home for a visit during the summer. She wears bulkhead's gift around her neck everyday, which she suspected was tiny piece of his armor, well tiny to him anyway. She still keeps in touch with Eddy through email and bulkhead has actually introduced himself to him, of course he kept it a secret mind you. Miko felt with all things considered justice was served.

A/N: Bullying may seem like is no big deal, but with the rate of violence in pre-teen to teens is extremely high. If you or someone you know is being bullied tell someone you trust. If you ever thought of committing suicide because you are being bullied there's help. Fear is the what bullies use against others, take away the fear and they have nothing. Thanks for reading
