Assistant District Attorney Curtis Loader looked at dossiers on all of us.. He had heard of us, but had never been up against us before.. He too was a graduate of PENN LAW...A pretty decent attorney...

He was going to be prosecuting Attorney Ken McCormick for Murder....A lot of the case looked circumstantial...

He had practically begged Lt. Tragg to recanvas, to re-investigate, but as of today...He hadn't.

ADA Curtis Loader looked forward to going up against the "Great Olivia Bennett-Alexander" , a win in this case would be a nice feather in his cap.

COURTHOUSE WAITING ROOM- 8:30 AM

"Coffees everybody.."said Nelson..

Beverly began passing coffee out to everyone of us...

"Thank you baby." she said..

"Thank You Shortcake." I said.

"Thank You...I haven't been a trial attorney in years, now I know why, these early morning trial dates."laughed our client, murder suspect, Ken McCormick.

Josie laughed... "Yeah, it's a killer.." she said.

"Thank You Beverly." said Bresha.

Lt. Tragg arrived at the courthouse...He had no idea we were repping Ken McCormick...He actually thought young Jason Kyle was representing him...

"Olivia!  How did you guys wind up with this case? Repping him?" he said.

"Just lucky I guess." laughed Olivia.

He was nervous about every case we were involved in....He knew we had a penchant for fouling up his "perfect cases" and in the end, making him look like a fool.. He wanted badly for this to be a conviction..

He peered at the young Assistant District Attorney Curtis Loader.

and he wondered if this kid had the stones and the know how to take on Olivia, Beverly and company.

II-

COURTROOM A- 9:00 AM

It was our luck, we got our favorite judge, Kelly Ann Mercer, a sweet woman, who knew her law...A tough judge, but a fair judge.

This morning, she was fixing her hair and adjusting her lipstick as we all entered the courtroom...

Her significant other, Lt. Tragg hadn't wiped her lipstick impression off of his lapel and his suit jacket..

apparently.. they had been in the judges chambers..

having an early morning tryst of sorts....

but now was trial time...

" Docket  105-COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. KENNETH MCCORMICK,CHARGE

FIRST DEGREE MURDER!" said the Bailiff.

"Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning Attorneys and Jurors...I am Judge Kelly Ann Mercer..

We are going to seat a jury today and trial will start tomorrow morning... I know all of the attorneys involved for the defense..but I don't think I know you sir... would you all introduce yourselves to the court please?" she said.

"Assistant District Attorney Curtis Loader your honor." he said... "VA VA VA VOOOOOOOM!" he thought to himself... Judge Kelly Ann is a babe!"he thought... He couldn't take his eyes off of her..

"Olivia Bennett-Alexander, Lead Attorney for the Defense your honor." said Olivia.

"Mrs.Beverly West-East, Attorney for the Defense your honor." said Beverly.

"Nelson East, Attorney for the Defense." said Nelson.

"Mrs Josephine Boyd, Attorney for the Defense your Honor." said Josie.

"Mrs. Bresha  Billips, Attorney for the Defense your honor." said Bresha.

I sat with our client Ken McCormick , who couldn't believe he was actually on trial for his life, for murder..

ADA Curt Loader , upon seeing Olivia, Beverly, Josie and Bresha in person was visibly aroused...He thought all four women were very attractive..He could barely contain himself looking at them,.,He was going to enjoy trying this case for more reasons than one, he thought.

"Alright, Great...We will now have Jury selection.." said Judge Mercer..

Though he may have been prepared for this case, it was quite obvious he was not prepared for jury selection in the way that Nelson was prepared..

Nelson was laser focused on the type of juror he wanted and the type of jury available.. He asked pointed, focused questions...

With Josie and Bresha aiding him,,,,He carved out a perfect 12-0 victory in getting jurors..

Something that didn't go unnoticed by Former Trial Attorney Ken McCormick...

"I'm a former Trial Attorney and I never got all of the jurors I wanted during Voir dire...I'd call a 6-6 split or a 7-5 split my way a victory." he said.

"So would we....Nelson just got lucky this time."said Olivia with a smile,.

"Great, We have a jury...Alright, Trial will begin tomorrow at 9:00 AM sharp,,Attorneys and Jurors be on time and be ready for trial...You are dismissed." she said banging her gavel...

ADA Jason Kyle was in the hallway...

"Hey Guys...I see the wheels are in motion." he said.

"These are great attorneys...Thank you for introducing them to me..That Job is still yours if you want it...with a bump in salary...."said Ken McCormick.

"Wait until we get you off first, then convey greatness on us.."laughed Olivia.

"I'd Like to take you all out to breakfast." said Jason Kylie.

We all went to a nice rooftop restaurant for Breakfast with Jason Kyle.

Where we had Croissants...Nice Hot ,fresh from the oven Croissants with butter and jelly,Coffee and Orange Juice..and French Bread....What they call a French Breakfast... 

"This is sooo nice Jason, Thank you!" said Olivia.

 

"Yes, in New Orleans, We used to call this a "French Breakfast." I said.

"You from New Orleans?  I thought I recognized the accent..I'm not, but my mother and father were both born there and a lot of my family is from there..I recognize the accent."said Jason.

"Small World isn't it?""laughed Beverly...

Nelson put his arm around her waist and squeezed her tight, while eating a Croissant with his other hand.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm this is good." he said.

"Yessssssss, hot right out of the oven.." said Josie.

"And the butter just melts upon contact,,,,,This Grape Jelly is superb too." said Bresha..

"Look, over there....There is that rotten son of a bitch who may be responsible for all of this,."said our client, Ken McCormick.

Sitting a few tables over from us was a person of interest....Attorney Lloyd Connor, formerly of the Harris Group...Now in Private Practice..  he was having a French Breakfast also with a beautiful young lady...

"You do good work...It's been almost two weeks and he has not only not been discovered, but no one has even asked about him." said Lloyd Connor.

"I take it he wasn't too popular...The perfect victim...Someone nobody will miss."said the woman.

Lloyd passed her an envelope...It had several hundred dollar bills in it and he passed her airline tickets...

"Here...these are for you, thank you..." said Lloyd...

" I'd like to say you're welcome, because this isn't something I do a lot, but thank you for paying on time and for the airline tickets and this French Breakfast." she said.

As she cracked open a croissant and spread some Jelly on it..

Lloyd Connor veered a few tables over.....

"Well Look who it is.. My old boss, Ken McJERKIN...on trial for murder and his defense team...

Did you know they subpoenaed me as a defense witness? I find that laughable....They're really expecting me to help him... I'm going to help him get a needle on death row.."laughed Lloyd Connor

peering over at us. 

 

Enjoying our French Breakfast.

III-

ONE WEEK LATER-

Assistant District Attornery Curtis Loader was prepared...He saw this trial as a sport and like an athlete ,he was prepared to win... 

He had his facts lined up... Receipts of all of the Breakfast ,Lunches and dinners our client took Sheila Stevens on....Credit Card receipts from the hotels they spent the night in....and cancelled tuition checks from the Thomas Klein School of Law where he paid for her tuition in law school...Plus a copy of her diploma...Showing she had graduated from law school.

She was employed as a Paralegal, but a pay stub he showed the jury showed she was making as much if not more than a first year Associate Attorney...

"She was Mr. McCormick's little play thing until she wasn't... The dinners ended, the hotel stays ended and Ms. Stevens became involved with another Attorney....This enraged Mr. McCormick and he raped and murdered her on her last night on Earth " he ended dramatically!!!

"Nothing was further from the truth." argued Olivia..  "What he did say was true was that Mr. McCormick did in fact take part in an innapropriate relationship with Ms. Stevens..He was enthralled with her, He wined her and dined her and entered into a consensual but innappropriate sexual relationship with her..He paid for all three years of her tuition in law school..but the relationship ended somewhere before the end of her third year, which was already paid for... My client felt no ill will towards her...In fact, he wrote this glowing Performance Evaluation for her, giving her the highest marks!."said Olivia ,showing the report to the jury... "It was written just 4 days before she was murdered." she said.

Beverly and Bresha questioned members of the Medical Examiner's Office who testified that there was no indication of rape or forceable sexual intercourse... 

The sex Ms Stevens had with Mr. McCormick was consensual... A Kind of "One for the road " offering they said.   This brought the jury to laughter.

Nelson spoke on the Murder weapon...The Bloody Knife...It had Ms. Steven's Blood and skin cells on it, but no other prints or DNA belonging to Mr. McCormick, yet it did have an unidentified finger smudge on it that didn't belong to Ms. Stevens OR Mr. McCormick..

Nelson interviewed people from the Medical Examiner's Office and an Independent DNA lab that confirmed this...

Josie interviewed a Detective from Robbery-Homicide who confirmed that Mr. McCormick's car trunk had definitely been jimmied by someone using a crude device..

She called Lt. Tragg to the stand, asking him how he even came to look into the trunk in the first place.?

He admitted he got an anonymous call.He tried to say that anonymous calls have helped to solve numerous crimes....but Josie wasn't having it.

"It never occurred to you that the anonymous caller who knew so much might be the Killer, trying to place blame on someone else?" she asked.

He was a s red as a beet and livid beyond compare... He had no answer...

Ken McCormick sat back and smiled...He looked at me.

"Olivia and her attorneys are lawyering the hell out of this case...It looked like a slam dunk for the prosecution at first and they just tore his case to shreds..

I smiled.....I was used to this.

ADA Curtis Loader couldn't believe it...He had worked so hard, researched his case so well and he was being outlawyered....He was both embarrassed and at the same time enraged at Lt. Tragg, who had screwed up the investigation with his sloppy police work.

We could have stopped right there...but Olivia called her final witness, Lloyd Connor.

He walked up with an arrogant smirk...Even he was convinced by now that we had created enough reasonable doubt for Ken to get an acquittal...but he didn't care..He was happy that he had put him through this much...He didn't think anything we could ask him would help him.    .

"Mr. Connor..how long did you work for the Harris Group?" asked Beverly.

"Roughly Ten years." he said.

"You didn't like Ken McCormick  Did you?" In fact this dislike for the man was elevated when he terminated you for engaging in an insider trading scheme with one of your clients didn't he?  Your former client is in Federal Prison right now...Serving a 2-3 year sentence... Had he of turned you in, you'd of been disbarred  and jailed yourself correct?" asked Olivia...

"HE WAS A BIG HYPPOCITE!!  HE WAS SLEEPING WITH AN EMPLOYEE, PAYING HER TUITION,  THAT WAS AGAINST THE RULES OF OUR FIRM TOO AND HE FIRES ME!!! HE SHOULD'VE BEEN GONE TOO!"snarled Lloyd Connor, finally exploding with anger.

"Is that why you murdered Sheila Stevens and made an anonymous call to Lt. Tragg after you planted the bloody knife in the trunk of Ken McCormick's car?" asked Beverly.

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS....YOU HAVE NO PROOF OF ANY OF THIS!"screamed a now angry Lloyd Connor.

"Actually sir, I think we do.."said Nelson, holding a photo of the bloody knife...."You took the New York Bar as did I." said Nelson..

"I took the New York Bar too!"said Beverly..

"And so did I" said Olivia.

"So what?" We are all attorneys who can practice law in New York State, Sooo What?" he said.

"The New York Bar is unique in that they take your fingerprints after you pass...They have mine, Nelson's and my niece Beverly on file...THEY ALSO HAVE YOURS!...There was a fingerprint smudge on that knife that wasn't Ms. Stevens or Ken McCormicks...So My Husband and Detective Pike of Homicide  checked with the New York Bar Association and guess what?   That print is Yours and it has no business being on that knife."said Olivia.

"I'm not saying a gotdamn thing else without the advice of legal counsel."snarled Lloyd Connor.

"That's a damn good idea....The defense rests your honor."said Olivia.

And with that the trial went to the jury.....

Tender was the night...

We returned home.... We felt good..We felt as though we had given Ken McCormick the best defense possible.

"Tomorrow ,I'm certain the jury will come back with a decision." said Olivia, who was already dressed for bed..

"I'm surprised they didn't come back with a decision today." I said.

"Did you see the way ADA Curt Loader looked at Lt. Tragg? Like he wanted to punch his lights out." she said.....

"I'm sure he's not the only ADA who has felt that way about Tragg..  All he had to do was investigate that fingerprint smudge further...It didn't belong to either one of them." I said.

"You're right. He didn't even read the Autopsy report fully..He would have seen that the  sex was consensual.." said  Olivia.

Olivia untied my tie...Took my suit jacket off and my shirt...

"Like the sex we are about to have." I said.

" Exactly, now take your trousers off." said Olivia.

I took my trousers, shoes and socks off....

I rubbed her legs and ran my hands up under her babydoll and rubbed her butt a little..

"Olivia, I should tell you that I'm horny.." I whispered and laughed.

"Every time you're alone with me you are horny!..What else is new?." Olivia laughed.

Olivia is a very sensual woman....Her prim,prissy and professional appearence aside...behind closed doors, she was a completely different woman...

We lay on the side of our bed just staring at each other....

I couldn't take my eyes off of her...

She smiled..

I slipped Olivia's  panties  off within seconds..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned.

"You like this thong huh? I bought it yesterday."laughed Olivia.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmm well I like it!  I like it a lot." I said.

Olivia spread her legs open wide and eased herself down on me....She was wet and warm and felt very good..

I stared into her pretty face and ran my hands through her hair as she rode me slowly like a surfer rides the waves..driving me completely insane..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray, Give it to me Daddy....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yes baby!" I moaned as she moved up and down on my rock hard penis...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu don't stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned....

 "Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh baby....Ouuuuu,easy Donnie Ray...ouuuuu" she moaned...

"Damnnnnnnnnnnnn gurlllllll.ohhhhhhhh, you feel so good." I moaned... as I thrusted faster and faster inside of her....She was so round, so soft, so warm....

She wrapped her legs around me so she could take all of me in and I continued....as she moaned and groaned...We slowed it down some and got into a slow rhythm...

 "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuu, you're as hard as an iron pipe..ouuuuuuu.." she cooed as she moved up and down...up and down...

I spread her legs open and entered her again......

"Ouuuuu,ummmmm, I love you so much Donnie Ray." she moaned.. as I humped her over the bed...

"I love you too Olivia..."I moaned..nearly out of breath as we continued to make sweet love...

  EIGHT TO NINE HOURS of sweet and intense lovemaking went by....

She laughed and then tossed her head back...moaning softly...Her body quivering softly....Her breathing getting heavy...

"Ohhhhh...Ohhh my god Donnie Ray...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned...

"Ouuuuuuu...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Olivia....Ohhh my goddd.."I moaned as she moved up and down on me...

TWO MORE HOURS of sweet lovemaking followed...We were both enjoying ourselves immensely.....

 

Olivia riding me softly and slowly and me nearly losing my mind....

 Olivia was sweating profusely and laughing one minute and crying the next....She began to climax slowly,intensely...her body shaking and she smiling the sweetest smile I had ever seen....


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....Donnie Ray baby, we have  to get some sleep, Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yessssssssssssss..." she said as she moved up and down and kissed me softly..


"I know baby.Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my godd!"I said..


"So we need to get to sleep soon..." she said..


ANOTHER HOUR slipped by and I began to cum like a river...


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."I moaned, shaking.....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu,That's my guy..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...That's my guyyyyyyy ummmmmmmmm" she moaned as she herself began to climax...She held me tightly and continued to kiss me as she came and came hard...

 She kissed me softly as I continued to cum like a river....

"I am so grateful for you Donnie Ray..." she said, as tears ran down her face....

''I'm grateful for you too, Olivia." I said as she lie on top of me and softly drifted off to sleep....

And a floor below us in another room....

Beverly and Nelson were standing in the middle of the floor kissing passionately.......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NELSON,LOOK AT YOU WITH YOUR BIG OLE HARD SELF..." said Beverly...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD!" moaned Nelson.

Beverly's Bra and Panties were already off and hanging on the wicker chair in the hallway....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu Nelson......ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu baby, I need you inside of me....." she moaned...

"Girl, I can't wait..." he said as he led her to the bed....They didn't bother to uncover the sheets....

Nelson was gentle with Beverly.....He softly kissed her navel and her breasts and her eyelids and her earlobes and eventually worked his way to her sweet lips...

By the time he did enter her warm and moist center, she was near the point of climax......

Nelson entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her..She wrapped her legs around his waste and they began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She held him tight as if she never wanted to let go...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...Nelson was losing his mind slowly....while continuing to stroke her masterfully....

'UMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU LOOK SO HAPPY....YOU'RE ENJOYING ME A LOT AREN'T YOU?" she asked...

He hugged her... 

"I AM SOOO ENJOYING YOUUUU!" he moaned softly...

She laughed...

"I'M ENJOYING YOU TOO!" she said softly and smiled at him..

  Nelson and Beverly made sweet and slow passionate and intense love for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS straight.... She felt as though she was climaxing several times....then in a huge wave....Nelson climaxed furiously and hard....not yelling , but shaking mightily.....then taking a deep breath and collapsing on top of Beverly....drenched in sweat....She looked up at him and gave him a juicy and wet kiss....He surprisingly felt himself getting hard again...and began to move slowly inside and out of her....

"Ohhhhhhhh My goodness...NELSONNNNNNN!  Again?? OHHH MY Godddd! YOU ARE MAKING MY LEGS SHAKE!! OUUUUUUUU" she yelled out.

..

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" He moaned....

''Baby, sweetie..We gotta get some sleep..We won't be any good tomorrow." she said ..Then she just laughed..Nelson was too into this to even listen to what she was saying..

 

  They made sweet love for at least another TWO HOURS AND A HALF!...Beverly could see how much Nelson was thoroughly enjoying this experience....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I'm cumming...I'm cumming..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said and began to shake and gyrate and turn her head from side to side....Crying like a little girl and sweating profusely....She couldn't believe how good she was feeling at the moment..

Nelson was one of maybe two other lovers she had had , who could make her cum like this...

He began cumming like a gusher....and shaking....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned...


"Oh yes Nelson..Yes....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...niceeee...ummmmm." she moaned, kissing him as he continued to cum like a gusher...

''We gotta get some sleep baby..The Jury comes back tomorrow." she whispered...

"I came just now." said Nelson..

"Goofball!"laughed Beverly....

Nelson agreed , he was breathing heavily....His breathing soon got softer and he drifted off to sleep.

Beverly shook her head...That was okay...He had earned it...He put in some work tonight! she reasoned...

She put his arms around her and rested her head in the crook of his arms...He hugged her tightly...She smiled..

She couldn't wait until tomorrow!

IV-

COURTROOM A- The Next Day 9:30 AM

"Has the jury come to a decision?"asked Judge Kelly Ann Mercer..

"We have your honor" said the Jury Foreman, who passed the envelope to the Bailiff, who passed it to Kelly Ann..

She read it , then looked at us and smiled.  That gave it away right then.

"Read it" she instructed the Bailiff.

Assistant District Attorney Curtis Loader thought that maybe he may have done enough damage control with his closing remarks..  Now we'd see.

"COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA IN THE MATTER OF KENNETH J. McCORMICK , charged with MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE...WE FIND THE DEFENDENT NOT GUILTY!

Ken McCormick pumped his fists in the air- "YEAH!!  I knew you guys could do it!  YES, THANK YOU!" he said..

He and ADA Jason Kyle high fived.....

Olivia and Beverly high fived each other and leaped into the air...

"WOOOOOOOOU WEEEEEEEEEEEE!" they screamed in delight..

"What would I have done without you....Best Investigator and husband in the world.." she said to me...

I smiled.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..Wait until tonight." she cooed.

She planted a big kiss on my lips..

Beverly and Nelson were already in the corner kissing.

ADA  Loader was livid.

"OUUUUU THIS WAS YOUR FAULT, YOU BOOB!" he moaned...looking at Lt. Tragg..

"Button your lip buddy...Button it." he said, his usual response..

"Let's celebrate by going back to that rooftop restaurant and having another one of those French Breakfasts.."said Nelson.

"I'm with it..how you Jo, Bree?" asked Beverly..

"I'm down!" said Josie.

"Me too!"said Bresha.

"That makes it unanimous."laughed Olivia.

"Toss Me the keys...I'll drive." I said.

And we were off to that Rooftop restaurant..

And another French Breakfast!

EPILOUGE-

Attorney Lloyd Connor was eventually arrested and charged with the murder of Sheila Stevens and convicted of First Degree Murder and conspiracy...He was disbarred , He was sentenced to Life.

The Mummified Remains of Lionel Grant were finally found!  In his SUV ,in the indoor parking lot at the Harris Group...He had been dead for a month when he was found.. At first there was no sign of foul play, but an autopsy revealed he had been poisoned..

A young woman was caught on camera helping him into his car...but she was unidentified, no one seemed to know who she was or where she was...

His body lie in the morgue unclaimed by anyone for another month before he was cremated and his remains stored in a small box at the Medical Examiner's Office.

To Date, His death has been ruled "suspicious" and still is open, unsolved.

Another overcast Tuesday afternoon...

Everyone felt like a nice dinner of seafood and or steaks at our neighborhood Seafood joint.

 

"Mmmmmm it always smells so good in here."gushed Olivia.

 

"It does...especially after our victory yesterday.." I said.

"It was good you got the buses to bring us all here tonight, So we didn't have to walk or drive."said Beverly.

"Yeah just in case it rains." said Nelson.

"Here comes the waitress, ready to order?" asked Josie.

"I know I am.." said Paris.

Bresha giggled

"I am too!"laughed Tony...

"You guys deserve it..Wrapping up two big cases...Helping Jennifer get her divorce and get settled and getting McCormick off."said Alfreda.

"I heard he got suspended without pay for two weeks, after it was disclosed he was sleeping with an employee and paying her law school tuition. That's a slap on the wrist....He could have been terminated...but I guess they figured he'd been through enough."said Rockland. 

"Yeah, he really has...with his murder trial and all." said Olivia.

 "Jason Kyle got the job...They made him a Senior Associate." said Yvette.

"Wow, how nice for him."laughed Gary..."Didn't you guys know him in law school?" asked Gary.
