The Trial

The Trial of Mssrs Jones and Martini has long been one of great debate among legal authorities and the talk show circuit. Basically they just wished it would go away. One talk show host, who has made a rather lucrative living on the Simpson trial, commented that the case of the People vs Jones and Martini was a travesty of justice as well as a waste of good camera time. "These guys are nuts!!!", he exclaimed, "give me a drink". Anyways for those who care, here is brief synopsis of the "Trial that Almost Wasn't".

The Crime

A.P. NEW YORK: CHUCK PERSON MISSING
Chuck Person, columnist for the New York Times has disappeared according to local authorities. He was last seen Friday night drinking in a local bar. Sources with Mr. Person that night said he was extremely intoxicated and was ranting about musical groups he detested. When authorities searched Mr. Person's address they found pimento-stuffed green olives under his bed sheets - - a sign of a hit from the Martini clan. Hadji Martini, of the little known but heavily panned "Insignificants" could not be reached for comment and it is said that authorities are searching for him for questioning only at this time. Sandwich Jones of the same band was contacted by SlugFest magazine and replied as follows: "Oh bull penis!, Jus' cuz someone leaves a bunch of friggin' olives they start accusing Hadji. I s'pose if a bag of wonder bread was found stuffed up Person's a--, they'd start accusing me! ...I don't know where Hadji is, I think he's on some kind of Christian family retreat...and me I ain't been outside, it's to f---ng cold!"


The Surrender

AP. NEW YORK....MISSING CHUCK PERSON - BIZARRE TWIST
The case of missing Chuck Person has taken a strange turn. Firstly, early Monday morning accused gangland musician, Hadji Martini, surrendered to authorities. He was questioned, exonerated of any wrong doing and then released. Monday afternoon Chuck Person walked into the New York Times. A short time later Sanwich Jones was arrested for kidnapping and battery. "Dis is a racist arrest!" Mr. Jones yelled as he was picked up at his home in California, "Ah'm a black man trapped in a white man's body and Ah'm an easy target!" As alleged events unfolded the story became bizarre. Mr. Person claims he was abducted by Mr. Jones and an unidentified prostitute known only as 'Dull Tooth.' He was then taken to an abandoned blues club where he was tied up, ridiculed, forced to listen to 37 Insignificant cassette tapes and then had a loaf of bread inserted in his rectum. "This is f---ng insane!" Sanwich exclaimed, "First de find olives in dis Ho-Ho's bed, then a full train of bread up his ass! Sounds like he like to diddle himself wi' processed fruit and yeast by-products!! I will be free, I will be free...Free the black white man, Free the black white man!!" Sanwich remains under arrest.


The Woman

New York...The mystery woman in the Chuck Person abduction case has surrendered to authorities this morning. Dull Tooth Delaware walked into a New York precinct today. The blonde 240 lb African American says she prefers to be called Fat Bobbi. "Dull Tooth Delaware is mah given chris'en name but Ah goes by Fat Bobbi, honey. And Ah ain't no pros'itu' Ah's a escort maiden!" she addressed the press dressed in a flowery mu-mu and dew rag. "Ah ain' never had da pleasure of meetin' Mr. Sanwich but Ah's likes his music. He and dat Hadji cooks up some voodoo dat makes me move, auoww!" When asked about the charges of the abduction of Chuck Person, Ms. Delaware replied, "Don' know 'bout dat but Ah knows Chucky, well, and he a kinky baaaad mama's boy.....uh huh!" This investigation continues.


Slugfest Interview

SlugFest's Jailhouse Interview with Sanwich Jones:
SF: Well, this certainly is a familiar sight.
SJ: Yeah, well, the Lord and jail do like the persecuted.
SF: Why do you feel you're persecuted?
SJ: Ah'm a black man enslaved in a white man's body! Ah'm what you'd call a German, Scottish African American. It's confusing at times.
SF: Obviously.
SJ: Ah also feels persecuted cuz no record company will picks us up, in fact not a whole lotta people seem to able to stomach Hadji and me.
SF: What would you say to those unclean non-believers?
SJ: Fuck 'em if dey can't take a joke.
SF: I see....Any plans for some jailhouse tapes?
SJ: Well I can't friggin' do that very well without Hadji, can I?!
[Sanwich at this point became irrate and drooled} So he's out there somewhere right now tryin' to get hiself arrested.
SF: Also a familiar sight.
SJ: What can I say, we think and drive alike, heh, heh, heh [cackles and breaks into a coughing fit]


Speedy Trial Set for Jones

Los Angeles...The trial of the people vs. Jones in the Person abduction case has been moved from New York to Los Angeles. Judge Lok Chin Dik, former Viet Cong, turned nationalized U.S. citizen, turned lawyer, turned judge will preside. The Martini family lawyer, Quizzy Martini-Royale, will defend Sanwich Jones. In a related incident, Hadji Martini was arrested last night and charged with malicious mischief and cruelty to animals. Mr. Martini apparently disguised himself as a waiter in a local New York restaurant where Chuck Person was dining. Mr. Martini allegedly delivered to Mr. Person a plate of pimento stuffed green olives imbedded in a horses head -- an apparent threat, traditional of his gangland family. Judge Lok Chin Dik wants to try the Insignificants together in the same trial. "We get away at bottom o' dis," Judge Dik was quoted. Ms. Martini-Royale has requested an interpreter be present at all hearings for the Judge Dik. "He is more unintelligible than a twenty dollar whore after twelve hot shots of shine."

10. White guitar salesman.
11. African American saxophone repairperson.

"They speak our language," Ms. Quizzy Martini-Royale, lawyer for the defendents, commented to the New York Times. "We are not going to play the race card, either. In fact, I'm not sure there is a deck with a card like that in it, anyway, ' don't need it, you'll see...I am the worst f----ng attack bitch that ever balled in the backwoods with barristers and by the time I'm finished with this case your Mr. Person won't be able to get a job hawking outside a strip joint in the tenderloin districts of Sodom or Gemorrah! My cousin and his well meaning, though odd, friend will come out of this so sweet they could well be elected Sheriff and Mayor of L.A. county and trade jobs every four years until 2025!"
