Re: Zabini IV
"Oh, but I do." Melinda said in a tone that was probably far to innocent and unassuming for a woman who had just delivered such a drastic blow to the Wizengamot's credibility.
"In the past, it has been quite well documented that the use of Veritas Serum has been used on suspects in crimes that involved the security of society at large. I can provide many court transcripts in which Veritas testimonies were used and upheld by your fine council. Yet in my file, I see no mention of the use of this potion. None in Mr. Zabini, or Mr. Nott's. Rather, I see bruises and fresh wounds. Is this how we are to treat members of society?" Melinda asked, her eyebrows rising again.
"I'm quite dumbfounded as to why men who members of this council are so eager to convict were not given this potion. Wouldn't it have made sense to not only have two confessions and the whereabouts of escaped Death Eaters, rather than a single confession a man was beaten into giving and a clearly altered evidence file?"
