The Collision’s Alibi

By Jwyan C. Johnson

Ride shotgun, with courtroom war king Miles Ahead, in a collision mystery that ended cable news host: The Chaos King.

Miles Turner switches lanes, to civil trial, as attorney Sue A. Lott is seeing red in a ‘yellow light’ making others turn green... with envy. But what are the real twists and turns in Ally Rhodes? Feel the impact of an outsmarted Smart Alec and a not-so-Silent Knight.

The Collision’s Alibi is a cozy whodunit mini-mystery of chain letters, a bar fight, conspiracy claims, and the invasive ways of The Chaos King himself! But will a legal handshake between both sides reveal the real ‘drive’ behind it all?

*Although this book functions as a standalone mystery, The Collision’s Alibi is also Book 3 of the Overruled Series and a spinoff storyline elaborating between the Karma’s Revenge Series in cozy mini-mystery.

Jwyan C. Johnson

Years ago, author and award-winning poet Jwyan C. Johnson wrote the script to a cartoon. The story starts off with a police chase to a giant dictionary: the home of our vocabulary words. Cops break down the cover, and they all rush in with their weapons drawn. And as they move around inside this book, we learn that they’re looking for one specific word: a simple 9-lettered noun. It has been bragging about its countless offenses committed against our society, against mankind. Surprising unarmed, and not dangerous, this specific word simply turns us against each other.Detectives follow the "alphabetical” directions to the right page, the right column and the right row, only to discover that this word has disappeared! Nowadays this divisive word lives inside our minds if we let it! The accomplished mystery writer reveals that "ignorance” was the word the police were after.The creative writings of Jwyan C. Johnson aim to biblically "protect and serve” the mind state because "ignorance is still at large in our society!” And with his latest kingdom-seeking contribution, Christian Parables, there are some places where ignorance no longer resides so we can win back each other.

Chapter 1

Yellow Light Turns Green?

Miles stands from his courtroom table to address the jury.

"Years ago a teacher asked her class ‘what’s the safest device in a car?’ The steering wheel? The brake? Headlights maybe. Well each student continued guessing! And the teacher shook her the head to the rhythm of all their wrong answers. The safest device in a car… is the driver."

Miles walks toward the jury and continues.

"It’s usually the ‘motor skills’ inside us that make a car accident possible, especially when we add alcohol. But the bigger problem is a plan to prevent drunk driving. Where’s the ‘yellow light’ to slow these statistics down? We need a better method, we need a safer way, we need a mechanic for the ‘safest device in a car!’ We need my client Speed Dial: an online organization of designated drivers. It’s an environment where only the computers ‘crash’ or have a ‘hard drive.’ Their idea of higher survival rates and lower insurance rates… I’ll drink to that! But some won’t raise their glass. They raise allegations. Chain Letter News has spiked the juicy part of the story… in its own drink! Now they’re ‘under the influence.’ They’re drunk on politics. That spiked cocktail of juice and dirt is the bar fight before, a forever silenced driver, and the backseat mystery of a news host known as The Chaos King. Remember that need for a yellow light to slow our car crash statistics down? Well our yellow light somehow has some turning green… and seeing green. Allegations during this trial may feel like a contagious hangover. But we have sobering facts behind that final drive."

Miles returns to his table.

Chapter 2

Sue A. Lott

"Welcome to Chain Letter News, the secretary greets. How can I help you?"

I have an appointment with Mr. Chain. I’m his attorney Sue A. Lott.

He’s been expecting you Miss Lott. Please follow me.

The lawyer follows through the large network studio to its top executive office.

Mr. Chain, the secretary announces. Miss Lott to see you.

Thank you, Mr. Chain replies as the assistant leaves. "Please have a seat Counselor. Does Speed Dial want to settle?"

No, Sue Lott replies and sits. "I need your signature acknowledging that I’ve advised you of our missing element in this civil trial. Although not legally required, it’s pretty much impossible to prove Wrongful Death without an autopsy."

The car accident isn’t self-explanatory?

"Yes but it’s a mistake to abbreviate our duty to prove causation. Without this element, the judge can legally block any jury award amount on the grounds of Negligence. The judge can even toss our whole case out! Mr. Chain, let me ask the judge for a continuance to complete an investigation."

No, Mr. Chain surprises. Just between us? Attorney-client privilege?

Sure.

"I want this trial over before it finishes, with an offer to settle out of court from Speed
