environmental law representing Mr. Yellowaters.” “Before I went to a 

night school to become a lawyer, I worked in the field of environmental 

affairs as a Vice President and gained immense experience dealing with 

compliance issues at city, state and federal level with respect to 

every media from air to water and anything in between,” McMurtry was 

interrupted by Judge Juggernaut. 	“Mr. McMurtry, this is about your 

client Mr. Yellowaters not about you, I have no interest in your 

resume,” Judge Juggernaut's voice was stern. 

“I am sorry Judge, my ego got better of me and placed me on a 

high horse and I was carried away,” Mel McMurtry was apologetic. 

“Please proceed with your opening statement,” stated Judge 

Juggernaut. 

“The defendant, Mr. Yellowaters is now retired living in 

Southern California in a country club gated community playing 

golf.” “The indictment was completely false and baseless; Mr. 

Yellowaters believes that water by its nature always in motion whether 

it is from factory or storms until it reaches its natural destination 

in this case was a nearby river, that's how the factory wastewater 

ended up in the river with no fault of Mr. Yellowaters,” Mr. McMurtry 

looked at Mr. Yellowaters as if he was looking at a saint.” 

“Mr. Dookaran would you like to cross exam Mr. Yellowaters?” 

asked Judge Juggernaut looking at Dan Dookaran, the DA. 

“Yes your honor,” said Mr. Dookaran and proceeded to ask Mr. 

Yellowaters. “On what grounds you allowed the factory wastewater to 

flow into the nearby river?” 

“On the same ground we are all standing ‘Mother Earth,” 

replied Mr. Yellowaters with a smirk on his face. 

“Don't give me smart ass answer,” DA Dookaran was annoyed. 

“Mr. Dookaran, please watch your language, in my court,” Judge 

Juggernaut warned the DA. 

“I am sorry Judge, I apologize.” “Mr. Yellowaters, please 

answer my question,” DA Dookaran looked at Mr. Yellowaters with a look 

of contempt. 

“Your honor; while at college decades ago I majored in Physics 

and I still considered myself as a student of Physics; as per laws of 

Physics, water in motion, continue to be in motion until it reaches its 

destination, wastewater from my factory followed the natural gradient 

towards the nearby river; I emphasize the word “Natural.” The river 

acquired its infamous name “Rouge River” from receiving wastewater from 

factories around the area, therefore it was the Rogue River at the 

lower end of the gradient that caused the dirty water to flow into it,” 

Mr. Yellowaters looked at DA and the Judge in a quick succession 

several times as if he was puzzled why he was there and why he was 

subjected to the silly questioning by the DA. 

“Well, if Mr. McMurtry has nothing to add, I will give my 

judgment based on the facts not natural law as Mr. Yellowaters wants us 

to believe,” “I sentence Mr. Yellowaters for one year to live in 

Bakersfield, California, the most polluted town in the United States, 

the court will see that Mr. Yellowaters  lives next to a animal 

rendering plant and experience the day and night stink  from the 

factory as he subjected the people around his own factory years ago, 

his movements will be monitored electronically and for any violation, 

he will go back working in the rendering plant not as a manager but 

skinning the dead animals,” Judge Juggernaut concluded the proceedings 

by looking at Mel McMurtry to see if he has anything to say. 

“Your honor, in my several years of distinguished career as a 

Vice President of environmental affairs and later as successful lawyer 

defending violators across the country never heard such a harsh 

punishment; I may consider repeal your judgment in a higher court as it 

was unusually cruel,” McMurtry looked at his client with a look of 

reassurance. 

“Well, Juggernaut you did a splendid job of impersonating the 

characters as the Judge, the defense counsel and the defendant; how you 

did it?”  Dan has all the praise for Juggernaut for his entertaining 

play recreating the court scene in the office. 

“Well, in my real life I had the unfortunate experience of 

working with simple minded morons similar to the characters portrayed 

here,” Juggernaut took a sip of wine in a mood of relaxation.
