Justice Disarmed
Full of fascination, awe, and strange mystery,
a legend from some languishing law history…
He cracked open the case to see if credible,
when tastes for each other turned to the edible.
Valuing not vast wives' tales, but the actual,
rooting into reports of repasts factual,
he did not dare to come across as cynical,
but as a doctor, singly sought the clinical.
The first foul-ups uncovered couched him curious;
the more he found, the more profoundly furious.
Physician finding in the field of surgery
in fact, were all retracted due to perjury.
The "so-called" expert witnesses and analysts
were all paid off by one high-ranking panelist.
He was for hire in service of the royalty,
leveraged large sums to acquire their loyalty.
Thus, data was described with briefest brevity,
resulting in a certain royal's levity.
Infringements by the legal team were numerous,
seems not a single expert had a humerus.

This tended towards the absurd... With all the alliteration, internal and end rhyme requirements, by the time all the boxes are checked, I'm not sure I even like what I ended up with, lol.
