CURLEY'S BAR-

William Beiber was here tonight...

and he was really knocking back the brews....It was hot..95 degrees...It was nice being in an air conditioned bar and drinking cold brews..It was the night before the Louise Bridell Murder trial began and we had the same idea...Let's go out for a few cold ones..To kind of take the edge off..

"Mr. Beiber, you're really knockin em back tonight!  I don't blame you...we really had a scorcher today, huh? They said it hit 95 at the peak.." I said smiling.

"I know who you are... Mr. Donnie Ray Alexander, Investigator, ex cop......You're a slick little operator...I'm a witness for the prosecution and I don't have to talk to you.. You came in here with those four lovely ladies at the table over there...You mean to tell me, you're married to a fine little honey like her and you're over here wastin your time with me??  Oh but Lieutenant Tragg told me she has you whipped...Looking at her, I can certainly understand.." said William Beiber...

He was staring right at my wife, Attorney Olivia Bennett-Alexander

who was sitting with her niece, Attorney Beverly West-East...

and Attorney Josie Boyd

and our intern, Attorney Bresha Williams..

He ignored me..

He knocked down eight beers and a glass of water.....He got up...

"Excuse me...Gotta make a trip to the little boys room...Please don't be here when I return."he said gruffly...

Nelson collected every glass he drank from and neatly placed them in a cushioned box and took them out to the car.

He waved and pulled off...He was headed to Dr. Goggins

DNA Laboratories..DNA from his saliva might be a match to something....

"Well, now we will have his DNA... That's all the DNA pertinent to this case." said Olivia.

"The DNA Results from the Bra and Panties found in that house was negative, Not a match for Louise, Desiree or Shawn...Probably some girls Brian brought up there...We may never know who they were, nor do we have the time to know." said Beverly...

"We don't have a murder weapon either...All we know was , Brian was struck with a blunt object and suffered multiple skull fractures..That weapon could be anything or anywhere."said Josie.

"Tony Spears said he "Clocked Him" to use his words...I'm assuming he meant with his fist...But could he have hit him with something and killed him, not knowing he did it?" asked Bresha.

"I'm certain he meant he struck him with his fist...He didn't have any blunt object, He was certain that Brian was still alive, just stunned, when he got out of that car..and was stumbling around on the street." said Olivia.

''When you get him on cross, that's one of the things you have to ask him.." I said.

William Beiber came back from the restroom..He was surprised to see his table had been cleaned off, but his money was still there... A waiter came around and collected his money...He stood up, He bowed to the ladies and walked out toward the parking lot..

I ordered a round of Martini's for the girls.

That same afternoon....A Body was being removed from a house...

''What have we got here Hazel?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"His name is Jerome Benson...49 years old, Black Male...death was caused by two gunshot wounds to the back of the head...Judging by Rigor , which has set in and in this heat...I'd say he died sometime this weekend..like Friday Night." said Hazel..

"Benson, Benson, Jerome Benson..." said Lt. Tragg... "That was Brian Bridell's business partner..Hmmmmmmm." he said..

LATER ON THAT NIGHT-

''No way Lieutenant, NO WAY!!!!both Louise Bridell and her daughter, Desiree were in my company at Josie's Bar and Grill from around 6:00 pm until 2:00 am...Friday Night, Saturday Morning..and Assistant District Attorney , Hayden King

can also vouch for them...She was in Josie's too...the whole night ,sitting right across from us and she saw them both!!! ....." said Olivia.. "They did not do this..Yhey had no reason...They barely knew Jerome Benson."she said .

.

"Hayden King was in Josie's?  Hmmmm...Uh was she with someone? " asked Lt. Tragg.

''That's got nothing to do with the case!!!...I'm just saying ,She was there and she saw both of the Bridell's."said Olivia.

"Uh er, this guy she was with...Was he a cop?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"Good Night Lieutenant." said Olivia.

He was lucky she had talked to him this much and in front of our house. He wasn't supposed to be here without a warrant!

II-

The trial of Louise Bridell for First degree Murder began..

Petey S. Now Known as Assistant District Attorney Peter Smith sat in the chair ,usually reserved for Lt. Tragg..

Judge Elise Clemmons smiled upon seeing him..

"Petey S.. I suppose I have to refer to you as Assistant District Attorney Peter Smith now...huh? Well congratulations...You are uh on Ms. King's team?" she asked.

"I am....Today is my first day as an Assistant District Attorney...You can still call me Petey S.  Nothing has changed except my title." he said humbly...

Lt. Tragg walked in...

"Petey S. what are you doing in my seat?" he asked.

"I'm uh the new Assistant District Attorney...I'm helping Hayden try this case." he said.

Hayden walked in..."Hi Petey...Oh ,excuse me, Assistant District Attorney Peter Smith." she said and smiled.

"Congratulations...You did it..You made your move!" she said.

''Come on, stoppp, you're making me blush." he said.

He sat in between Hayden and Lt. Tragg, which was what she wanted...Now she was certain, her legs wouldn't be rubbed, and no hand would go up her skirt...

Lt. Tragg was furious...

The Defense table was the largest...Olivia and Beverly sat with Nelson, our client, Louise Bridell and Josie, Myself and Bree.

"Look Petey S.. made ADA...He's moved up." said Olivia.

"I see..."said Beverly.

"This is probably his first time in court, trying a case.. Our Bree has such a jump on him.."said Nelson.

"I hope that's a good thing."said our client Louise.

"Oh Most definitely...Don't worry Mrs. Bridell..They don't have a case...We almost exposed that during the prelim's." said Josie.

Olivia told me once that during the prelims, it's just like a card game, you try to determine what the other side has, but you don't show all of your cards unless you've got an Ace.. a strong ace..I felt good about our chances..

We had let Bresha do Voir Dire... Nelson and Josie

 had taught her well and she had surprised us...Up against a seasoned Attorney like Hayden King, Bree managed to get 8 of the 12 jurors we wanted.

Olivia had taken simular gambles on young Beverly and Nelson , years ago when she thought they were ready...

It showed how much confidence she had in their ability and it gave them confidence..Now the two were her right hands...Her aces.

The spirited arguments began....ADA Hayden King portrayed Louise Bridell as a betrayed and angry wife , whose husband had bought a second and third property without her knowledge and who was taking girls up to this property for sex..Unknown to him , she found out through his business associate, Tony Spears, who she had been having a torrid affair with... A million dollar policy taken out on her husband's life and a need to be with Tony Spears drove her to trail Spears and her husband to his "love shack" as she referred to the house and bledgeon him and push his car down into a ditch behind the house...where it might not have been discovered for weeks..

It was a nice story, but it wasn't true..

ADA Peter Smith had located the two women, who left their panties and bras at the house..We found out through looking at Discovery evidence..They testified that they both had been with Brian Bridell the week before, unknown to the other one..

Olivia and Beverly took quick notes..

On cross they had each woman identify the bra and panties that belonged to them...They asked had they ever seen Mrs. Bridell on the premises/ Had they ever met her? Both answered no.... And both women had been there weeks before the murder.

One  woman interested us more than the other...The one who owned the lavender panties and bra.

I did some digging into her background and came up with a surprise.. That would be revealed later.

Hayden called her seven eye witnesses, who now had somewhat altered testimonies..

Nelson and Josie artfully compared what they told Lt. Tragg, What they told me in a signed affadavit and what they said in the preliminaries...spotlighting all of the differences...and noting that none actually saw Louise Bridell.

Petey S. showed the crime scene photos and the forensic evidence , which showed fingerprints inside the car belonging to Brian Bridell, Louise Bridell, Tony Spears and an unknown person..

Bresha argued that they were husband and wife...Her fingerprints would be inside the car,since she drove it quite a bit...

Olivia and Beverly brought out a specialist who said the fingerprints belonging to Louise Bridell were 

"retarded" and not fresh...could have possibly of been there for days...

Hayden talked about Mrs. Bridell's DNA and Prints being all over her housband's "love shack."as she kept reffering to it..

Olivia and Beverly argued that after Mr. Spears was injured  and her husband failed to take him to any local area hospitals...she went looking for him...She figured he might take him to his secret or so he thought hideaway....but when she got there, she found neither..

Nelson and Josie had her transit card record of her trip to the house and phone records of her frantic call to the hospitalto see if he was there...They produced the receptionist from each hospital who testified to taking the calls..

Hayden stared at me and smiled... I suppose it was appreciation for the good job of investigating I had done..

The way she was staring at me and smiling ,made me feel a little uneasy...

The Case was nearly a week old and neither side had proven too much...

"The jury is 7-5 our way....but it could shift at any minute, any testimony.." said Nelson.

''We've done sufficient damage and we haven't begun our defense yet.." said Olivia.

''We got the results back from Beiber's DNA and prints..." I said to Olivia.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GOOOD!" said a jubilant Olivia.

I smiled..

She gave me a kiss that sent me in orbit......

Lt. Tragg saw us kissing and was furious!

''That should be me and Hayden!" he thought..."I wonder who that guy was she was with Friday night?" he wondered.

"Okay...Court is adjourned....Be here Monday Morning at 10:00 am and be ready for trial." said Judge Clemmons.

We went home.

We were all exhausted...It had been an exhausting week of trial and we didn't know how close Hayden was to closing her case.. She didn't have much more..

"Oh ,I'm just soooo glad I can take my clothes off and relax.."said Olivia, as I unzippered her and helped her out of her clothes.

"I'm glad you're taking them off too."I smiled as I began to undress..

and watched her undress.

"I know you are..." laughed Olivia as she slipped out of her bra and panties..

"About that kiss.?.." I said..

'Turned you on didn't it?  You're still thinking about it, huh?" she laughed seductively...

I dropped my trousers and stepped out of my boxers..

Olivia gasped...Oh My God...DONNIE RAYY!!!....Ouuuuu...you are huge!!!.Did you get bigger?" she exclaimed...as I unhooked her bra and began sucking on her breasts.....

I didn't answer...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh DONNIE RAY!....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned.

"You're going to split me in half with that huge thing..What am I going to do with all of that?" she joked..

"You'll be fine.." I said.

I thrusted my tongue practically down her throat and while squeezing one breast with my hand... and I lifted her up and positioned her on me as I entered her and began thrusting away...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO, OH MY GODDDD YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS!!!! UMMMMMMM!!!!!" she screamed as I continued to thrust , harder and feverishly more.....

A HALF HOUR slowly oozed by...I felt so good...I wasn't even close to stopping..

"Ouuuu husband you are doing the damn thing...UMMMMMM" she said..

 I laid her across her bed , a few minutes later and I entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around my neck and drew me closer to her..I kissed her neck, between her breasts, her cheeks....She continued to kiss my lips and my ears and my chest...

"Ohhh My God...I can't believe how good this  feels! I should kiss you like that more often..." she moaned..

"Me neither!" I said.

She wrapped her legs around my waste and we began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...She matched me thrust for thrust and even kissed my shoulder at one point...She was so soft...so moist and smelled so good...I was losing my mind....She was shaking and looking like she was on the verge of crying the entire time.......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHH MY GOODNESS...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she moaned loudly ,obviously not caring who heard us....

We made sweet passionate and intense love like this for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS.. Olivia began to shake and gyrate and tears began to stream down her face again....I was surprised at how passionate she still was ...

"It's sooooooooooooooo goooddd...Oh my godddddddddddddd it's soooooo gooood Oh my Goddd Donnie Ray....ohhhhh don't stoppp, don't stopp...don't ever stop...ouuuuuuuuuuuu" she screamed as I mounted her from behind on the floor of our bedroom..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" she screamed...

I came like a gusher....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" I moaned...

She smiled....Her mouth was wide open as she stared at me...

"Wow!  THAT WAS AWESOME...WOW! OUUU HUSBAND...YOU WERE JUST SHOWING OFF IN THIS BED!! MYYYY GOOODNESS!" she exclaimed....

I smiled and gently felt her breasts...I gently kissed both of them....She leaned over and kissed me again..

"You were so..so intense....You made me cum like four times..OUUUUUUU!." she smiled..she was still shaking as she continued to kiss me...

She gave me a nice sloppy, wet kiss....I pulled her to me and kissed her too..She felt my still very hard and engorged penis...Her mouth opened wide..

"You make me hornier than any woman I've ever known"..I whispered...

"Ouuuuuuu...you just want some more..Flattery will get you everywhere, .."she laughed as we continued kissing and I mounted her once again...

"Oh My goodness!!!! DONNIE RAY!!!!  OUUUUUUUUU!" she replied smiling and slowly kissing me as I entered her again...She was so warm,so moist...so inviting..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Donnie Ray...ohhhh my goddd!..Ouuuuuuuu..." she cried out...as the bed began to squeak....The headboard slammed against the wall....She stared at me almost in disbelief.....

Another TWO TO THREE HOURS of sweet and tender lovemaking continued....We were both going to be very tired tomorrow ...but neither of us cared at the moment...Not like we had to be anywhere at any time..

She began to blow softly in my ear ,in between soft , wet kisses..which turned me on even more...and within twenty minutes... I exploded like a gusher ...Holding her tightly....Her body shook a little too..Tears ran down the side of her face..her body began shaking and her head turned from side to side...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...myyy goodnessss.." she exclaimed...still shaking like a church woman testifying......

We continued to hold each other for a few minutes....

"You okay?" I asked...

"I'm just fine..." she said, smiling serenely....

She smiled...

This was a nice stress buster after the week we had..and the days we had in front of us..

"WOWWW! I needed that!" I said..

Olivia played in my hair..

"I needed it too...WOW!" she said.

Downstairs from us...

 Beverly motioned to her husband ,Nelson...

"Come here...Unzip my skirt..Take my clothes off" she said playfully...

"Ohhhh my god", Nelson exclaimed...

He unzipperd her skirt and she slipped her top off...His eyes nearly bulged out of his head...

Beverly giggled..She loved getting Nelson hot and horny...She was wearing a Red lace bra and a matching Red lace thong...

He took his clothes off slowly and just stared at her..

She smothered him with wet ,sloppy kisses...Kisses that were driving him to near delirium!!!

"OH MY GODDDD NELSON, YOU ARE HUGE!!! I'M ABOUT TO GET IT, AINT I?" she giggled..

"YESSSSSSsss!" was all he could manage to say as she softly stroked him...

 Nelson got to do what he had been daydreaming about all day, make love to Beverly

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" he moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…talk to me daddy, is it good?" she cooed softly as the bed began to squeak and the headboard began to rattle..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Ohhhhhh my goddddddd! YESSSSSSSSS!" he moaned...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"she moaned softly...... 

"TALK TO ME BABY...DO YOU LOVE ME?" she asked. 

"YES!!! YES...OH YESSSSS!"moaned NELSON..who didn't know if he was coming or going... 

"Because I LOVE YOUUUUU TOOO!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Lord Knows I do...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND!" she cooed...and once again got emotional and began to cry as Nelson thrusted faster...

FIVE TO SIX HOURS SLIPPED BY!

"You are just showing off...Just showing off in this bed...."she said..

"Ohhhhhhhhh you are driving me crazy.." he moaned...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! You like it daddy?" she cooed loudly..

"Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss…you know I do...Ohhhh lawdddd!" he moaned in his deep baritone..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NELSON….ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned.

She had already had three or four very intense orgasms that left her in tears.....And Nelson as usual showed no signs of stopping..

She blew softly into his ear..and played in his hair...

THREE TO FOUR  MORE HOURS and a half went by before Nelson began to come with wild abandon as did Beverly.. holding on to him for dear life....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..both of her legs shaking and her head turning from side to side...she found herself getting emotional and crying again..

After a short pause, Nelson began to make love to Beverly again ,slowly, tenderly, kissing her cheeks and hugging her gently....

ANOTHER TWO HOURS drifted by in which she had a very intense orgasm.....and looked up at him in amazement...at both his stamina and his excitement..as he came like a river....

He found himself more satisfied than he had been in awhile... He turned over and lay on his back with a big grin on his face...

"Ummmmmmm stop looking so...so satisfied " she said.

But he was satisfied...He pinched himself...He was actually married to Beverly and making love to her on a regular basis...The stuff dreams had been made of..

This was Just Another Day for Us....but it was the precursor to yet something else...

Josie and Paris, who were spending the night 

and were steaming up their windows..

"Ouuuuuuuuu Paris, you are sooooo nastyyyyyy!"moaned Josie as she rode him slowly and drove him mad with soft butter kisses.

"But you love it don't you? Don't youuu?" he said..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! YESSSSSSS!" she moaned...as they made love on the bedroom floor..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU PARIS!!!!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LAWWWWWWWDDDDD!!!! JOSIEEEE!" he moaned

as their bed squeaked out of control.

And at Hayden King's apartment complex..

"Ohhhhh Pettey...I am so proud at the way you have handled yourself during trial this week...See , I told you you would make a fine Assistant District Attorney..." she said as they stood in the dark..

"Those guys are pretty good...but I felt confident going up against them...More confident than I feel about this case..The only thing that surprised them was those bimbos I located and they did enough homework to be able to respond to that.." said Petey S.

"I know it's a weak case... but let's not worry about that....All I care about right now is you inside of me." she said..

"AWWW LAWD....AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!" said Petey S. as they stood in the middle of her living room, kissing passionately....Hayden stroking his penis softly...He was close to exploding!

Soon they sitting on the side of her bed as she inched down on his rock hard penis...

"OUUUUU PETEY!! YOU ARE SO DAMN BIG ....OUUUUUUUUUUU!!! I WOULDN'T HAVE IMAGINED!!! YOU'RE LIKE A HORSE!!!OUUUUUUUU!" she cooed...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" was all he could manage to get out...

Letting him have his way with her , doggie style on her bed..

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ! OUUUUUU PETEY!!  YESSSSS!" she said...banging her hands on the bed..as he plowed into her...

"HAYDEN!!! HAYDEN....I'M LOSING MY DAMN MIND!!! OHHHHHHHHHH!!" he screamed.

"OHHHHHH PETEY! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed

 And riding him hard...on her bed..

"OHHHHHHH PETEY!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU IT'S SOOOO GOOD!" she moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM HAYDEN....HAYDEN...HAYYYYYDEN!" he moaned.

"Say my name Petey, say my nammmme!" she squealed..

and finally making sweet love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS...

"OUUUUUUUUUUU PETEY!!!"

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THIS UMMMMMMM!" he moaned.

"HAVE YOU? GLAD I COULD MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!! OUUUUUU!" she screamed

They didn't hear Lt. Tragg banging on the door loudly...but he heard the bed squeaking and the headboard rattling.. and the moaning..He couldn't believe it...Whoever this guy was, he was over here again!

"HAYDEN, YOU ARE DRIVIN ME CRAZYYYYY!!! OHHHHHHHHHH!"

"OHHHHHHHHH PETEY!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! I'M ABOUT TO CUM!!!" she moaned.

Lt. TRAGG was furious..

"WHORRRRRRRRE!!!" he yelled to the top of his lungs..

A door flew open..

"Yo Buddy quiet the noise or I'm callin the damn cops!" said one person, who slammed his door..

"Hey Pal, stop all that racket..." said another voice..

"Yeah it's bad enough with the bedsprings squeaking and the headboard slamming up against the wall in that other apartment...Go Home! She's got a date, okaay?"" said yet another neighbor.

"Petey!  I heard her say Petey...Petey S..??? Nah, that guy hasn't got enough in his trousers to satisfy her" snarled Lt. Tragg..

"OHHHHHHHHH PETEY!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! I'M ABOUT TO CUM!!!" she cooed very loudly...

He stormed off in a huff..Furious.

On the street, he kicked a metal trash can until it dented...

III-

After a great weekend...We were back in Judge Elise Clemmons courtroom..She liked all of us and was enjoying the legal back and forth between both parties...She was trying to rule as fairly as she could..

She noticed the musical chairs like jockeying between Petey S. and Lt. Tragg for the chance to sit next to ADA Hayden King..It was getting a little heated...

When Judge Clemmons had to intervene...

"Play nice children...Lt. Tragg, get up...Assistant District Attorney Peter Smith belongs in the chair next to Assistant District Attorney Hayden King.." she said.

At our table, our client, Louise Bridell, on trial for murder was amused by the entire thing..

"Ummmmmmmmmmm ...ummmph, Baby girl is working it...She got both them dudes fightin over who is gonna sit next to her...She done turned them dudes out." she observed..

"I can't picture her sleeping with Lt. Tragg...Maybe Petey S.  But Not Lt. Tragg."said Beverly.

"Stranger things have been known to happen...We didn't picture Julie Baisden sleeping with him and yet she did." said Olivia.

'You don't want to place another wager on this do you?" asked Nelson.

"No indeed...I don't care enough to lose money over Lieutenant Tragg's love life." said Beverly...

Louise Bridell laughed... "You guys are soooo cute.I just love yall." she said..

"It's going to get interesting from here on out." said Josie.

"Yup, the kid gloves are coming off." I said.

"I can't wait." said Bree..

Tony Spears testified -

"Look....Bridell and I were working on a deal,,A huge deal, worth close to a billion dollars.. Only I found out...He had crossed me..He had aced me out of the deal and was partnering up with a guy named Jerome..Jerome Benson...I found out that Jerome Benson and he were doing a little insider trading and I had proof...I called him and told him that I knew about him double crossing me and I knew what he and Jerome were doing...He told me to stop by his house and we could work it all out... I stopped by his house and I got hit from behind...I think with a sap... I was semi conscious....I remember lying on the couch...His wife Louise and his step daughter Desiree put a cold towel on my head...They tried to call 911 But Brian insisted he could get me to the hospital faster... He put me on the back seat of his car..He didn't take me to the hospital...When I woke up, still groggy...We were in back of his "Chill Out" spot, where he took his side chicks...and I knew then that he planned to kill me.. Not a lot of people live around there...He could shoot me and nobody would hear the shot...

I heard him loading his gun...That's when I clocked him, knocked him the hell out... I got out the car and tried to run...but I fell out... I can't remember too much in the hours  after that. When I woke up...I was in Mr. Beiber's house, where you guys found me..And that's the truth." said Tony.

"In all this time, did you ever see Mrs. Bridell?" asked Beverly on cross.

"No, the last time I saw her , she was at home with her daughter..."said Tony...

''Did you and Mrs. Bridell ever have anything romantic and sexual going on between you two?

Because the deceased tried to hire us and he said you two had run off.."said Olivia..

"OBJECTION!! HEARSAY

"I'll allow it..Answer the question.." said Judge Clemmons.

"NO...Mrs. Bridell and I never had any romantic and or sexual relations and at no time did we run off together, that's just one of many lies, Brian Bridell told." said Tony Spears...

Shawn Lacey testified as a hostile prosecution witness-

Tony told me that he and Brian were working on something...He wouldn't tell me exactly all of the details ,but it sounded illegal..It sounded a lot like Insider Trading..Him , Brian and another guy, Jerome somebody was in on it... He said , None of them would ever have to work again.. He asked me to marry him in the process,... That was last summer...Then everything went wrong." said Shawn.

"What went wrong?" asked Petey S.

''All I know is Brian told Tony, a lot of the initial investors pulled out of whatever they were cooking up.Tony was furious...He did some digging and found out Brian had lied to him...Just like he had lied to another man a few years before , who had lost his shirt...He knew what they were doing and he called Brian up and had it out with him..Brian smoothed it over and told him to come over to his house and that he would smooth everything over..He left my house and went over there and that was the last I heard from him for two or three days...The next thing I know..He's calling me from some guys house and telling me this fantastic story about being hit in the head with a sap and being transported from Brian's house to his Chill out Property where he took his freaks. He said Brian tried to kill him, but he got away...and was over some man's house..He wanted me to come and get him...He called me like seven times and he sounded loopy...Only you guys got to him first and then I hear that Brian's dead, he's been murdered and poor Mrs. Bridell is accused of killing him.. I don't know if she did...but I couldn't blame her.. He cheated on her constantly... Tony told me that she found panties and bras belonging to other girls under the seat of that car and that they had several blow ups...but he couldn't afford to leave her ,because she is sitting on a large sum of money....That's what was keeping him afloat...For many years. And it's money she had coming into the marriage..It's not covered by Community property laws" said Shawn.

"Which Means Louise Bridell has no motive to kill him.Certainly not financial..She has the money. She was not having an affair with Tony Spears and your own witnesses have proved that,,,"said Nelson , who disclosed Mrs. Bridell's financial statements, showing she was sitting on a hug sum of money and the dual life insurance policies they both had on each other meant very little to her." said Nelson.

We were making mincemeat of a case that was very weak to begin with....

ADA King did the only thing she could...She reinterated her points and rested her case.. She looked exhausted...She glared at Lt. Tragg..

who was fuming that he couldn't sit next to her... Once again he had brought her an incredibly weak case based on hearsay...More hearsay than actual evidence..Yes Louise Bridell was at the scene at some point...but there was no murder weapon...her husband's gun was missing and no real proof that the two had actually ran into each other that afternoon..

Olivia began her opening argument stating that there was no proof that Mrs. Bridell was at the scene of the murder at all..  She showed charts from the M.E.'s office stating the probable time of death and then a record of  her bus and subway  travels to the scene.. she estimated that Mrs. Bridell  arrived on the scene after her husband was already dead...

It was late...She had a key and  she entered his abode...She spent the night there and fixed herself some breakfast, showered and got dressed..Made the bed up and left...

Josie brought in the Uber driver, who picked her up...and took her home...

We were surprised that Hayden didn't call William Bieber to testify...So we called him as a hostile witness..

Bresha asked him , when did he see and pick up a groggy Tony Spears ?

"Oh you mean your husband? Around.. 7:30....He was wandering the street, I thought he was drunk at first, but then I saw he was bruised badly about the head, so I took him in my house and applied first aid to his head bruise..." he said.

"You didn't see Mrs. Bridell did you?" asked Nelson.

"Well no...but I saw a light on in the house...So I suppose she was there."said William Beiber.

"That would have been around 7:45 pm right? Well she couldn't have been there..Her subway train didn't arrive that day until 8:05 pm...Then she had to walk five blocks to the house...She stopped at the corner store and bought a pack of cigarettes and some gun and didn't arrive until 8:20 pm, so you couldn't have seen her." said Nelson..

Hayden stared at me lustfully again...

I looked at her and smiled..  she smiled back.

"You and the late Jerome Benson worked with Brian Bridell for a long time...It goes back to your days at The Philadelphia Stock Exchange...In fact you and Jerome helped Brian start Bridell Finances & Securities Brokerage and for awhile you lived pretty high on the hog didn't you?" asked Beverly.

" I did alright." said William Beiber.

"You had a Private Jet, a Small Yacht and a nice house...You divorced your first wife and married a woman, twenty years your junior...So when Brian and Jerome crossed you and you lost your shirt...that must have made you mad, especially loing that yacht, that private jet, losing your home, declaring Bankruptcy and going through a messy divorce...Ouch, that stung..Especially after you found out what had happened.. To keep you quiet, Brian let you live rent free on his property didn't he? " asked Beverly.

"You know my whole life story..Yeah, that's all true.."snarled William Beiber..

"I know you hated living on his property, a property he could put you off of at any minute, while he lived high on the hog..and you hated seeing him bring women ,his outside women up to his "Love nest." Especially YOUR EX-WIFE...who I believed is the owner of these panties.."said Olivia.

 Showing him a lavender bra and matching lavender panties..The same ones that were left inside Brian Bridell's property.

"That's when you decided to kill him!!!  The next time you saw him....You were enraged.." said Josie

who produced a bloody metal pipe..

"The police, with a warrant of course , raided your house...They found this pipe in your basement...Brian Bridell's brain matter and blood is all over it.."said Nelson...

''And while they were there....They found this .38 smokeless, registered to Brian Bridell..A ballistics match to the murder of Jerome Benson.."said Olivia.

"You hated them both so much for ruining your life financially...You battered Brian Bridell, put his car in neutral and sent it down into the gully...Your fingerprints and DNA were found in the car too..And you shot and killed Jerome Benson, this weekend!"said Bresha.

"I'm not saying anything else without a lawyer." said William Beiber.  

"That's smart! ...Defense rests." said Olivia, looking at him...

Petey S. glared at Lt. Tragg!

''Whose side were you on anyway???, Ours or the defense???...with this poorly investigated case...It had more holes in it than swiss cheese..?  This woman was the weakest suspect...You Had Spears, You Had Beiber...All of them were better suspects than his wife...There was no proof she was at the scene and she had no motive.. Goddd, this was a terrible case." said newly minted ADA Petey S. , who had tried to save the case.. He was the reason they didn't call William Bieber.. Once he delved into the man's past...he realized his testimony would sink the case, especially if Olivia and Beverly knew anything at all about him, which we did...I had gambled that we'd get a ballistics check on that gun and a DNA check on that pipe in time for our defense. When I found out that those panties belonged to Beiber's ex-wife...I was certain he was the killer.

"I'LL KNOCK YOU THE HELL OUT!!!!" said Lt Tragg , who lunged at him angrilly, fists flailing  and had to be seperated by Hayden King of all people and two bailiffs.. He was incensed that his detective work was being critiqued by Petey S.  He remembered when he was a patrolman...Now he was a big shot, An Assistant District Attorney and had the nerve to question him..He swung at him again!!

The Two beefy Bailiffs grabbed him and restrained him...

"STOP IT!! STOP IT!"  said Hayden.

"WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE?" asked Judge Clemmons

"UMMMMMMM UMMMM UMMMPH!  BABY GIRL got them guys going crazy over it...She must really be workin it in the bed.!"laughed Louise Bridell.

IV-

ONE HOUR LATER-

''Has the Jury reached a decision?" asked Judge Clemmons.

"We have your honor." said the Jury Foreman...

"Baillif, pass it to me." said Elsie Clemmons  who read the verdict and looked at us and smiled warmly...

I knew we had pulled it out..

"IN THE MATTER OF COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA  VS. LOUISE BRIDELL,

COUNT ONE, CONSPIRACY TO COMMITT MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE , NOT GUILTY

COUNT TWO, USING AN INSTRUMENT OF CRIME TO COMMITT MURDER IN THE FRIST DEGREE, NOT GUILTY.

COUNT THREE, MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE, NOT GUILTY!"

"I'd like to thank the members  of the jury for taking this seriously and doing your duty...You are free to go..Your checks will be passed out to you in the lobby as you exit."said Judge Clemmons.

''Mommie, it's over!!!!...Thank you guys for saving my mommy." said Desiree, hugging her mother.

"I knew you were the lawyers to hire...I knew it...Thank you soooo much."said Louise.

"We did it again Neicey Poo!" said Olivia, high fiving her niece.

''We got a great team Auntay"said Beverly...

"Indeed!" I said satisfied that I'd not only proven their client innocent, but pointed the finger at the real guilty party.

"I feel like a couple of cold ones and some wings."said Nelson..

"Me too!"said Josie.

"Ditto." said Bree.

"Come On Petey, let's get out of here." said Hayden, taking him by the hand...

''Sure."he said..

Lt. Tragg, furious at once again having arrested the wrong person...slipped out the side door..He didn't want to deal with the press.. He too was glad the case was over.

EPILOUGE-

William Beiber confessed to the murders of Brian Bridell and Jerome  Benson..He received two life sentences...

CURLEY'S BAR!

We all had plates of seasoned Hot Wings

Plenty of Beers and waters to wash it down...

"Ummmm these wings are sooo good!" said Olivia, who was really chowing down..

"Save some room for your beer!" I joked...Enjoying the wings also,.

"Ouuuu they are so hot, but they are delish.." said Beverly, who was sitting on her husband, Nelson's lap.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Nelson moaned silently... I don't know if it was because the wings were so hot or he was aroused by Beverly sitting on his lap..

"Ummmm these wings are delish." said Josie...

''Damn, they are good." said Paris.

"This has been the best summer of my life." gushed Bresha, who had the experience of working another big case, with us...Plus making a little money and getting to hang out with us too!

"It's been pretty good for me too!" said Tony...

From across the bar , we heard a loud slap..

"I TOLD YOU TO KNOCK IT THE HELL OFF, DIDN'T I?" came the voice of a blonde woman..

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOF!"

Lt. Tragg fell off of his seat and his hand knocked the huge pitcher of beer off the table..

It's contents ,spilling on his head...and splashing on the woman's dress....

"Oh My Goddddd!, it's on my dress, my dress is soaked .He had his hands up my skirt,He nearly ripped my panties...I told him to stop several times....Asshole! " said the woman.

"I'm so sorry , so sorrry..Look...I'll pay for your dry cleaning and you drink for free the rest of the night.."He said.  "Artie...I'm gonna have to ask you to leave tonight."said Curley.

Lt. Tragg's suit was drenched...His hair was full of beer...His face was as red as a beet. He was both embarrassed and furious... He stormed out of the bar. On the street, he kicked another trash can until it dented..

Nelson had fallen to the floor, he was laughing so hard....His body was shaking...He was holding his sides...just laughing.

"Neicey Poo, get your husband...Take him outside." said Olivia, who was laughing so hard herself ,she was shaking..

''Come on baby...Let's go outside...Get you some fresh air." said Beverly, sighing and laughing at the same time, helping a still laughing Nelson up....

"I love you Honey Bun." he said as she helped him up.

"I know you do and I love you too baby!" said Beverly, helping him up...

Olivia looked at the rest of us and just shook her head.

I was laughing just as hard and banging my hands on the table, so was Tony and Paris..

Josie was laughing just as hard along with us...

"Liv, we may all have to leave here tonight." said Bree.

"Girlllllllllllllllllllll !" said Olivia.

FOR SLC!
