When Courtney entered she saw Jonathan Charles where he was sitting down and she briefly glanced at him before she went to her seat. The Judge came in and they all stood up before they sat down again then they presented their cases before the court the plantiff's lawyer first started arguing his case your honour the Williams group obtained the patent of Charles skin care illegally the documents was signed was under duress the Williams group threatened Mr Charles to give the patent to them without going through the necessary procedure the Williams group should return back the patent cause this is a case of acquisition of an illegal patent objection. Objection to the plantiff's misleading words Courtney raised her hands and with the judge permission she continued saying that Jonathan Charles signed the documents under duress is a false claim I will like to call Mr Charles to the witness box to ask him some questions your honour Courtney said objection sustained the judge said. Jonathan Charles came to the witnesses box and sweared on the bible to say the truth and nothing but the truth then Courtney continued Mr Charles you said the Williams group made you signed the documents under duress what did the do to threaten to you to make you sign the documents Courtney asked Mr Charles snorted and said they brought someone to point a gun on my head for me to sign the papers let me tell you lawyer the Williams group won't get away with this. Courtney smiled and went ahead to ask him another question.
