Words: 2876 · Source Novel:: The Broken Ring

Victor is coerced into participating in the special exhibition, which is revealed to be a no-rules death match against a heavily favored fighter known as The Bear. Terrified, Victor secretly records the event on his phone. During the chaos, a masked spectator suddenly enters the ring and fatally stabs The Bear, planting the knife near Victor. Police raid the venue. Detective Cole, viewing the disoriented Victor as an obvious thug, beats him severely during arrest, convinced he is the murderer. The grainy video becomes the central piece of evidence. From Cole’s biased viewpoint, the footage clearly shows Victor attacking the victim. From Victor’s, it shows him as a horrified bystander. The lawsuit Prince v. Cole et al is filed, but public opinion is immediately split, with the media labeling Victor a violent criminal based on leaked stills from the video.
