This is gonna have to be written, so why not now?
I'm thinking something like "A Little Bit Sweeter" for the title. We can have the introduction something like:-
[KLAVIER]: (spoken) Witness, please state your name and profession.
[ALITA]: (sung) Tiala. Alita. ...and I'm a little bit sweeter.
[TRUCY]: (muttered) Than what?
This comes back when Trucy is "kidnapped":
[APOLLO]: Don't fake a kidnapping next time. That would be a little bit sweeter.
And then (because this part reminded me of Dahlia in T&T):
[ALITA]: Wocky's a fool! I'm a saint, not a cheater! Or, would you prefer me to be A little bit sweeter?
I see this song as a jazz number. Think "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago.

this would be so cool as a jazz number but wasn't orly's testimony gonna be jazzy too? I'm honestly not sure but if orly's testimony is gonna be jazzy, then we should probably choose a different music motif for alita. I'm thinking maybe a really sweet singing style that is borderline operatic but not quite operatic?

I'm splitting this into two songs for now.
KEY: Alita Apollo Trucy Judge KlavGav Apollo & Trucy Mr. Hat (Trucy)
Witness, please state your name for the record.
Tiala. Alita. ...and I'm a little bit sweeter. (Than what?)
If I'm honest, I didn't really want to come here today. But...it's important I tell the truth about what Wocky's done.
When Wocky found out the results, he lost his composure He started howling like a wolf in an enclosure He grabbed the family pistol, and...well, you know the rest It must have been him...I know him the best
Incidentally, it has been proven that the gun is from the Kitaki mansion - and that the bullet found in Mr Meraktis' temple is from said gun. How can you tell? Bullets carry marks from the barrel that fired them, called "rifling marks". They're like the "fingerprint" of a gun. I-I heard what Wocky was planning that day. I should have stopped him! But...
OBJECTION! Miss Tiala, you say it must have been your fiance But there was another who could have taken the gun that day That was who? It was you! It was you who did the deed! And, why would I do that? You had a personal motive
You know what I think? I don't think the police ever looked inside that safe.
TAKE THAT! Miss Tiala That isn't true I found this chart And it's signed by you You knew about the operation Yet you claimed to have no relation To Doctor Meraktis You're serious?! THAT'S your big breakthrough?!
Sure, I worked there for a while But I quit half a year ago The pay was pathetic, Meraktis was vile He had fewer friends than foes!
So if you think you have the upper hand Let me dumb things down, so you can understand I haven't been back there since that time So you can wave your "contradiction" goodbye!
Ms. Tiala! You testified that you had no connection to the victim! And I don't. Now.
As I have made clear, there's no connection. S-she must be lying! I know - OBJECTION! That won't fly in a court of law And we know for sure that you worked there
Before that day So no more lies I can see through it like a bad disguise And if you want proof I'll give you what you need
These sandals were found in the lobby Wocky says they're yours. Yeah, they look kinda snobby. (Hey!) You can lie all you want, but there are some people you just can't deceive And that's your fiance's defense team!
W-Well, who knows? I'm sure there are lots of people with those sandals... So sorry, Fräulein, but toes leave "toe prints". A simple analysis of these sandals will reveal all. I just wanted... I just wanted you to help get Wocky back on the straight and narrow. But it appears I was wrong to trust you, prosecutor. Your sandals were found in the entrance to the clinic... Which means you went there on the day of the murder! Well, there's little point in denying it.
I've seen many things That I've yet to repeat here If you'd have simmered, I'd have stayed A little bit sweeter
I went to the clinic with a goal in mind To warn the doctor of Wocky's intended crime But he didn't believe me - he sent me away I'm not hiding anything - nothing else happened that day
OBJECTION! Witness, what about the sandals? If we found them at the scene, that means you couldn't have been wearing them when you left. OBJECTION! Herr Forehead, I'm sure there's a good explanation. Such as, I don't know...there was a similar pair at the clinic that you wore home by mistake? Actually, that's right.
Did you think he could hate- It's not up for debate But, have you realised- Alita Tiala doesn't lie Yes, but did you consider- My, you are no quitter. My testimony's perfect. Why should you carry on? Why?
Well, let me defend- You're driving me around the bend Let me do my job- I see no prob-lem here It's all over! I am perfect! It's not over! You are lying! So just stop trying! / So just stop trying!
That's enough! It seems we've come to the end of the line here. What??? No...that can't be all! The defense cannot seem to find any fault in the witness' testimony. I believe this brings the cross-examination to a close. This court will now declare a verdict for the defendant, Wocky Kitaki. Better luck next time. (echo line) Wait...what wa-
HOLD IT!

I should probably say that I updated these lyrics, since I know an update doesn't show up on the recent posts thread.
