Throw It At the Wall


 It was the morning of the Preliminary Hearing...Against our better judgement we were at  Sam Mother's Diner..

Beverly, Nelson, Josie and Bresha sat at one table.. Animatedly laughing and talking

"We started out with nothing and look at us now..Locked and Loaded."said a jubilant and confident looking Beverly..
"Nothing like a good P.I. "said Nelson, smiling and looking across the room at me and Olivia.




who were sitting with our client...AUSA John Stevens..

''Yes indeed..we might win this quickly.."said Josie.
"That would be nice." said Bresha.

Their orders came up...







Pancakes, Sausage, Hash Browns, Omelettes, Orange Juice and Hot Coffee.

Olivia and I sat a table over with our client, John Stevens..It was his first time out in public since he was arraigned and released from custody.

"John I think we can end this quickly... We want you to get back to work..."said Olivia.
John Stevens laughed... 

"I'm ready to get back to prosecuting...I just don't want to see you and your niece and the rest of your staff any time soon in court." he said..


Olivia, who had a good sense of humor laughed..


I passed her the file she was looking for..

''She has certainly chased a dollar better than I have since we left law school."laughed Olivia.

"YOU KNOW THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR?" asked John Stevens.


''We had a couple of classes together in Law School..but we weren't friends..." said Olivia..


"No, Not like me and this girl here." said  Attorney Yvette Jones..who hugged Olivia and kissed her on the cheek. "How you doin girlfriend?" said Yvette.

"VETTIE!!!" said Olivia.. "Girl, it doesn't make any sense that you live across the street from me and I haven't seen you in weeks." said Olivia.  "John, this is my law school room-mate, Attorney Yvette Jones-Lockwood.. She's presently Senior Associate Attorney at McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt."said Olivia. "Vettie, this is our client, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Stevens.."said Olivia.


"Pleased to meet you...I know your uh firm's founding partner, Joe McCluskey...He and I went to law school together."said John Stevens..
"Small World isn't it ? Hi Donnie Ray!" said Yvette, hugging me and kissing me on the cheek.
"You know ,Amanda Garcetti and I were in Lasalle at the same time, graduated together and went to Penn Law school...She was kind of aloof, to herself...but not a bad person...Liv and I had a few classes with her in law school... She even worked at McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt with me a few years..but like I said..She was aloof.. We were never close." said Yvette.
"Heyyy Vettie..It really is a small world isn't it?  Hey lookAfter this trial is over...I have the perfect breakfast spot for both of our teams.." I said. "So tell Keith, Bee Bee, Sofia, Kahlil, Jade and Danny and
Jessie and Chip to save a Saturday Morning." I said.

"It's called Pancake Pantry...It's in Bayside.. I'll call the Bus Service and we can all go out on the Bus..
I've already told Kayla and Ray and Jazzy and Dabnis about it.." said Olivia.


"Ouuu, I'm looking forward to that...I was going to ask you to come with me tonight to the laundromat....I don't like to do my laundry  alone..You got a few things to wash?" asked Yvette..

"Always..."said Olivia.
"Then it's a date...There is a new coffee shop across the street...We can dish and catch up while our clothes wash." said Yvette..
"It's a date!" said Olivia..



Lieutenant Tragg walked in just then..Naturally he made a bee line to our tables..

"Wellll ready for trial this morning?" he asked..

"You should be asking Special Prosecutor Garcetti that...Not us.."said Olivia..


"John...We got you cold....They're just taking your money.."said Lt. Tragg...

"It's my money to be taken Artie. I don't prefer to be disbarred and I prefer going to jail even less." said John Stevens... "I didn't kill my wife or that other guy..."said John Stevens..


"Sure You didn't." smirked Lt. Tragg..

"You know...It's true what they say about you...You really are an ego-maniacal , pig headed , bull headed idiot...You need me to go down ,so you'll have the big bust..be the big man...Well it aint goin down that way Artie...This is gonna be another case you've blown." said John Stevens.


"Liv , we are headed over to the courthouse."said Nelson, who had paid the bill.
Beverly, his wife , said nothing to Lt. Tragg, She did say hi to Ms. Yvette.

"Hi Ms. Yvette" she said..

"Hi Baby!" she said.

As did Josie 
and Bresha..

"Hi Loves." said Yvette, who was picking up six lunches to go for her team..They were eating lunch in the office today while working on a case and for this very reason...They wanted no parts of Lt. Tragg and his badgering.
"We'll see you in court." I said as we all got up and headed out..

"You should have bet him."Olivia joked..

"Nahhh, I don't want to take his money..."laughed John Stevens as we headed to court.


Lt. Tragg stood there alone, watching us all leave.


II-

The preliminary hearing began..


Judge Martika Anderson was on the bench...We figured that was good for us, the defense.

Special Prosecutor Amanda Garcetti was prepared...as prepared as could be...She weaved a tale of a triangle in which Lee Hester ,

the other victim was madly in love with the very married Sherry Stevens,



She presented amorous and sexually suggested  e-mails from Lee Hester to Sherry Stevens...It appears that she ignored most of them...


a fact ,both Olivia and Beverly brought up.


Special Prosecutor Garcetti brought in 20 employees of BIG FED, who worked with  John Stevens closely.. They testified that John Stevens  was very upset about his wife's lack of affection..He complained mightily to anyone who would listen how he felt he was losing her to Lee Hester and how if he ever found out they were having an affair..He'd kill him! Their testimony didn't bode too well for our side and Lt. Tragg had already interviewed them before we did.




Nelson, Olivia and Bresha had studied all of these people's initial statements and compared them to what they had testified to me.. They did a great job on cross examination in getting them to clarify their remarks...

We didn't think she would...but Special Prosecutor Amanda Garcetti called in 20 people who worked at Pendelton Investments....

20 people who had talked to Lt. Tragg already and had regretted the way they had talked to him..practically all of them said they felt as if he had lead them in their statements..They way they talked to us was much looser, freer.. They said that Sherry Scott and Lee Hester were friends..Just close friends.. 

He had a thing for her, but as far as they could see..She never reciprocated...They did work together a lot...Late hours and they shared an UBER every night...It didn't look good for a married woman to be spending so much time with a single guy like Lee Hester...and as in every workplace...everyone gossiped, but that's all it was was office gossip..Her husband, John Stevens was only in the office three times.. They mentioned an office Christmas Party in which he and Lee Hester nearly came to blows..but in the end, cooler heads prevailed and that was it..There was no threats..




Beverly, Olivia and Josie had studied their statements also and took them apart surgically during cross examination...They weren't surprised by anything..
Something that frustrated Special Prosecutor Amanda Garcetti...

She showed the brutal photos of the bodies floating in the river and the autopsy reports..She had the
CSI people testify as well as policemen and Medical Examiner's office personell.. We couldn't refute their reports...

THREE DAYS LATER-
The last day of the prosecution arguments , she reluctantly presented the gun...The Murder weapon that passed a ballistics test and was found by Lt. Tragg under the bed of John Stevens.

A very confident and arrogant Lt. Tragg was called to testify...He looked quite smug..

"Lieutenant you found this gun after a second search....I believe you got an anonymous tip didn't you?" asked Olivia..


Lt. Tragg smiled.. "You know that Liv...Yes..I got an anonymous call from a good citizen.." he laughed..
He wouldn't be laughing long.

"You do know that our client has not been in his home since you arrested him...When he was released on bail, he checked into a hotel..I suppose he forgot to get rid of this gun in his home right?" asked Beverly..


Lt. Tragg smiled. "I suppose that's what happened." he said.


"You sent a team into his house in the days after the murder and they are here today to testify that they searched that house from pillar to post, from top to bottom and did not find that gun...We have their full report right here... Now when you went back in...you miraculously found the gun under his bed...Isn't that a funny place for it?  "asked Nelson...


''So this gun wasn't found the first time. but you get an anonymous call weeks later and it's there despite the fact that our client hadn't been in his home since you arrested him..Did it ever occur to you that this anonymous caller might be the REAL KILLER?? Who is this person and how does he or she know exactly where this gun was?" asked Bresha.


The smile had now left Lt. Tragg's face...He was now as red as a beet...and angry and embarrassed...These were the same questions that reporter, Lou had asked him during the press conference.. He figured they had been watching and taking notes..

"I-I-I don't know who the anonymous caller was, that's why they are anonymous...but they led us to this gun and it's a ballistics match.." he said , trying to defend himself..


"The fact is...The gun was not there weeks ago when this team of very good policemen did a thorough search...We know that John Stevens was not back in his house..Hasn't been in his house since you arrested him and now all of a sudden this gun is there under the bed in plain sight for you to find.."said Josie..

"It just doesn't play Lieutenant..In fact it looks like YOU got played." said Olivia..

The spectators burst into raucous laughter..


Lt. Tragg left the stand, as red as a beet, livid..both embarrassed and furious at how Olivia and her team had twisted things around and made him look like a dupe.

Special Prosecutor Amanda Garcetti looked frustrated...She looked defeated.. She gave her closing argument and asked for John Stevens to be held over for trial on two counts of Murder in the First Degree.
"Mrs. Bennett-Alexander do you wish to mount a defense?" asked Judge Anderson.
''I do your Honor."said Olivia.

''Well due to the lateness of the hour.. I'm going to adjourn court for today....I'll see you all tomorrow morning...11:00 am sharp.. Be ready for trial." she said..

"You guys did well...Very well..."I said.
"Thanks to you and your great investigation. Now all we have to do is close the deal...We can wrap this whole thing up during the preliminaries."said Beverly.
"That's the plan...I think she's shown us everything she's got...She can't have anymore.."said Olivia.

"But we do don't we?" said Bresha..

''Yes we do Bree..Yes we do." said Nelson.
"I can't wait."said Josie..
"I'm glad you guys are on my side this time."laughed John Stevens..


III-

Nightfall came..


Ian Jobim sat in his loft..



He was sipping a beer and remembering his last conversation with Sherry Stevens in his office before he left for Seattle....

"Ian we had a great night back in April...but I'm married...you know that...I can't give you what you want. I wish I could...I swear, but we, you and me, we can never have a relationship..." she said.

''Sherry, I love you.." said Ian..

''I know you do...I know you dooooo...but I don't love you Ian...We had a good time in bed that night....Let's just savor the memory." she said..


He kissed her passionately , she returned his passion...

"We could make a new memory right here in my office...On my couch.." said Ian..

"Ian please...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Iannnnn." she cooo... "Nooooooo, stop it...stopppp it...OUUUUUU
OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed..

"You getting hot baby?" he asked in between kisses..

"YES!" she said.


He opened her top and unfastened her bra..


"Ouuuuuuuuu Iannn don't...don't....Ouuuuuuuuu!" she moaned..


"I can't help myself...Ohhhhhhhhh." he moaned..




He slipped her panties down slowly....She slipped them back up..


''Ian, Ohhhh Ian." she moaned..




 He slipped her panties down again ...This time She didn't resist..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ian!" she moaned..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sherry !!!"he sighed..

She stared deeply into his beautiful green eyes and he lifted her up and took her over to his couch..He nearly tripped..She giggled...


He laid her down on the couch...He kicked his shoes off...He slipped his trousers off and took her skirt off..

"You are sooo bad.."she whispered and giggled..as she moved up and down on him..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" she cooed softly..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...OHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.
They began making sweet love on his couch.... He had lied to us ,saying they had only made love once in April...They had made love a second time right before he went to Seattle./

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY godddddddddddddd  Ian!" she moaned.."OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY godddddddddddddd!!"she said..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I've been wanting to do it to you for weeks" he cried out...

"I know...I know Ian ,probably longer than that.....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed..

The couch was squeaking out of control...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh my god...Sherry  you are so soft, so wet baby..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."

"IANNNNNNNNNNNNNN, ,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she cried out...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm SHERRY ...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he moaned.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh IAN....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she cooed..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl..." he moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."she moaned...

"Sherry...you are sooo soft, sooo wet baby...I'm going crazyyyy.."he moaned..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh IAN....ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....You are so damn big...ooooou and soooo hard...OH MY GOD!!! OUUUUU!" SHE COOED... 

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned loudly...

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY godddddddddddddd IAN!" she moaned.."OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY godddddddddddddd!!"she cried out!!!


SIX TO SEVEN HOURS of non stop lovemaking on that couch slipped aimlessly by...

The legs were squeaking and rocking from side to side.....

It was a good thing the cleaning people had already been by his office...
.
Neither one of them could get enough of the other...The legs on the couch were rocking so hard they were in danger of cracking, yet they didn't.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..This is sooooooooooooooo good...Ouuuuuuuuu.." he moaned..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..IAN....IAN!  IANN!.. I'M YOURS...I'M ALL YOURS!!"she squealed...

She was shaking, trembling...crying like a baby...She was having an intense orgasm...Her third, since they'd started...

 "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...oh my god IANNNNNN!...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she moaned...

ANOTHER HOUR OR SO PASSED BY!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." he cried out as he began to cum and cum hard....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY godddddddddddddd Ian!" she moaned.."OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY godddddddddddddd!!"she moaned..Tears and perspiration running down her face..Her body trembling...she was cumming so hard, that she was shaking out of control....tears were just streaming down her face....Her head turning from side to side...

He pulled out and began to cum like a gusher...all over the couch...She moved out of the way...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..HELL!!!!!!" he called out...

"Oh myyyyyyyyyyyyy.."she exclaimed..
They kissed each other softly......Sherry's body trembled as she experienced another orgasm..

 "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...oh my god Ian...Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! MEOWWWWWWW!!!" she moaned...

Sherry was still cumming...and moaning..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!OHHHHHHHHH!!!!"she moaned..
 
She sat up and looked at him...




"WOW!  I guess we got that out of our systems..."said Sherry..Who was a bit relieved...

They finally stopped and got up off the couch...

They both used the Executive Wash room and cleaned up and put their clothes back on..
.




"Oh My God...That was great...wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."was all he could say..He was still trying to catch his breath....


"It was wonderful..OH MY GOD! Wouuu" said Sherry... "That was a nice send off gift for you.." she said.


"Sherry while we were making love you said you were mine..Did you mean that?" he asked.

"I think you should have a nice trip to Seattle.." she said and grabbed her pocket book...It was a little after 2:00 am in the morning..She had been in his office since before closing time..She had to get home.

She had given him a good send off to Seattle , where he'd be the next two weeks.


Daybreak..

"I haven't gotten up this early and left the house, since I was a young Public Defender."said Olivia as we left the house and walked towards the train station.. "I just want you guys fed well with no interruption from you know who." she added.
''As a cop I was used to being up this early, but h living with you girls has somewhat spoiled me." I laughed.
"That's okay...if we wrap this up today ,it'll be all worth it.."said Beverly...
"I'm thinking about breakfast Saturday with our friends."said Nelson..

"Me too!" said Josie, who was going to work with her new husband, the first time..
"Wow..usually it's just me and Tone on here."said Paris, squeezing Josie tight.
"This is nice..but I still prefer my extra hour or two of sleep." giggled Bresha.

"I know that's right " said her husband, Tony ,who was tickled pink to have Bresha with him on the train.


The train came and we all headed into town....


We decided not to press our luck , we dined at the dining facility inside the courthouse.. There was no chance of running into Lt. Tragg there..For some reason he never ate there.


And it's a good thing we did change our minds.. At this moment..He was in Sam Mother's diner with Special Prosecutor , Amanda Garcetti.


"You know this is earlier than I'm used to getting up..What Gives?" asked Lt. Tragg.

"Olivia and her team plan to interview Ian Jobim today...Did you talk to him? I don't want any surprises." asked Amanda Garcetti..She wasn't feeling good about this case..It was skimpy and circumstantial at best and there was no smoking gun...Olivia and her team had made the finding of the gun a possible liability...and yet she had to use it..Lt. Tragg himself was a liability.


"I interviewed him  twice.. He had the hots for her, but his alibi is solid.. He wasn't even in the city when it happened.. He was on a red eye flight from Seattle that laid over in Boston..he didn't get to Philly until 4:00 am in the morning, long after the two were last seen alive."assured Lt. Tragg. "Liv and Bev are just grandstanding..They've got no defense so they're throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks." he assured her....




as his breakfast arrived..

IV-

11:00 AM

We were all in court on time.. we were going to present our defense..


Judge Martika Anderson called the court to order..

Olivia gave her opening argument..She stated simply that Assistant U.S. Attorney John Stevens loved his wife dearly and could not harm a hair on her body... She stated that he wasn't a perfect husband..he prioritized his work a little more than he should have...but that he certainly was no killer..And she said she would prove it.

She attempted to reconstruct his night..The night of the murder..

"We were trying a case against him in Federal Court...The case had went to the jury...We were all winding down that night...The end of a difficult and contentious trial.." she said.

She brought in Cafeteria Workers from Big FED, who remembered him eating dinner there that night..she brought in the Librarian from the Law Library, who remembered he was in the Law Library until 11:00 pm...She brought in a Bartender and two Barmaids from Curleys who remembered him having a few drinks there and leaving a little after midnight..


Lt. Tragg whispered to Special Proecutor,Amanda Garcetti...

"What did I tell you?  Olivia has nothing...She's throwing everything at the wall and praying something sticks..That only covers Stevens until midnight...His wife and that guy vanished around 3:00 in the morning...He has no alibi.." he said.

Amanda stared at Olivia..

"She's up to something..I know she is." she said.

Beverly and Bresha came up...They pulled up a 60 inch monitor.. 

They had his phone..

"This is Defense exhibit A...This is John Stevens Phone...I've synched his GPS tracker for that day."said Beverly..
"Watch the Monitor." said  Bresha.

The phone tracked his movements from BIG FED to The law Library to  Curleys...Then to a Gas Station near by, which was backed up by a credit card receipt and finally to his home...Where it doesn't report another movement by him until 7:30 am , when he got up and left for work...

The GPS tracker on his car showed the same movements...

"This proves he was nowhere near her office, but I know who was...I call my next witness Mr. Ian Jobim." said Olivia..


"She's off her nut...That little technical razzle dazzle she just pulled proves nothin...The guy might have borrowed a neighbors car and left his phone behind.." snarled Lt. Tragg.
"He Has a rock solid alibi doesn't he?" asked Amanda Garcetti.
"Yeah ,he wasn't even in town." said Lt. Tragg, smiling.. "This oughta be good for laughs.." he said.
Ian Jobim walked up to the stand and was sworn in...

"Did you ever see this car before?" asked Olivia.


Showing him a blown up photo of the "Uber" that picked up Sherry and Lee Hester.

"No, why would I?" he said cooly.


"It's a company car...according to the license plate number and it was leased by you..You used the company credit card..You leased it just before you left for Seattle two weeks before." said Beverly..

"Okay, I leased it...I must have forgot..People lease those cars all the time for business." he said.

"We got this footage, taken at 3:00 am...from a Street Camera and an ATM Cam... We found a technician who was able to mix the video and look what we saw..." said Nelson.

Lee ran after her... " Sherry, Sherry....You left these...Don't want to go home without these."he said
and passed her panties to her..

She laughed...She was obviously embarrassed...She put them in her pocketbook...

"Oh My God....Thank you for remembering.. We wouldn't want anyone to find these in the office,,,besides...I paid good money for these." she said..She hailed an UBER..

"Let's share an UBER, You're going partially my way." said Lee..
''Why Not? We share an Uber every night.." Sherry laughed...
And they kissed passionately on the corner...


An Uber drove up to their corner.. They both got in....and were whisked off into the night...


"3"15 am. They both got in what they thought was an Uber..and it was the last time they were seen alive..That's the car YOU leased two weeks before. That's the car they were murdered in." said Olivia.

"Two days after you returned from Seattle and two days after these two were last seen alive, you took this car and had it detailed..Bleached down, steam cleaned...We have the mechanic here in court who will testify that you took this car there and used the name "J.Stevens" and paid him in cash to have the car detailed..




We had members of the police department bring in a CSI team ,who used luminol on the back seat...
Look at the  blood splatter..You didn't know that traces of blood still remained in the car, despite the cleaning..did you?" asked Josie.

"They were murdered in a car you leased, you took the car to have it detailed to cover up the horrendous double murder you committed..."said Beverly..
"You're leaving out one thing...I WASN'T IN PHILADELPHIA...I WAS ON A RED EYE FROM SEATTLE ,THAT LAYED OVER IN BOSTON....I COULDN'T HAVE COMMITTED THIS CRIME!" he said smugly.. "Your boss saw my itinerary and my ticket." he said and smiled.

"We wondered about that...It bothered us..So I checked the airport again..Your flight from Seattle did layover in Boston..The wait time was an hour and a half that would have gotten you home at  around 4:40 am...If you had taken that flight, these two people would still be alive. You chartered a private plane from Boston to Philly that got you home at 1:45 am..I have the pilot here and your company credit card slip..You never reported this to the company, so the change of flight plan wasn't on your itinerary."said Bresha.

He started laughing maniacally...then sobbing profusely, then laughing again...

"You know...I got back early and instead of going home like someone with some sense..I went to the office..I stopped by her office.The door was open and her computer was on, so I know she was at work..
I walked down the hall and right outside Lee Hester's office, I heard them...I heard them and I saw them through the window making love..


"OUUUUUUUU LEE....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LEE...I'M YOURS...ALL YOURS...OUUUUUUUUUUUU...WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU OUUUUUUUUUU WOUUUUUUUUUU!!! OHHHHHHHH I LIKE IT A LOT....A WHOLE LOT...WOUUUUUUUUUUU!! OUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed..

 "UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!" he moaned as he slowly moved in and out of her.... 

 "I've wanted to do this for so long..." he moaned.. 

 "I knowwwwww...I know you have....OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! I'm sorry I made you wait so long.. MEOOOOOOOOWWW!!" she moaned and cooed....

It went on for another hour...They were making so much noise, the cleaning lady through her hands up in the air and turned around and left....

"OOHHHHH MY GOD LEE...OUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE ABOUT TO MAKE ME CUM....OUUUUUU LEEE....ALL OF THIS IS YOURRRRRRS..I'M YOURS LEE ,OH MY GODDDD!!!" she screamed to the top of her lungs.


He began laughing...

"She said the same thing to him she said when she was making love to me.. I was furious...I got my gun and I got in my car.. and I waited....The windows were tinted.. They were so busy kissing they didn't even know I was driving until we were two blocks away... You should have seen how that little coward begged for his life...I shot him first..about three times and she....She tried to make a deal with me for her life..She begged me not to kill her..said she'd leave her husband if I spared her life.. The last thing I said to her was "He deserves better than a cheap tramp like you and I shot her about five or six times..I parked that car with their bodies in the woods..A day later, I weighted them both down and dropped em in the Schuylkill river.," he said and began crying profusely again...

"Bailiff, Bailiff, take this man into custody..." said Judge Anderson..who was shocked by his confession.
''Wow...I just thought we'd establish reasonable doubt." said Nelson.

"I knew he'd crack..I could see it in him the first time we interviewed him...I knew he was dying to confess." said Olivia..

I put my arms around Olivia..We had both thought he was the killer ,even with his rock solid alibi from the day we first interviewed him...We both knew he bore a deeper look.. Our hunches paid off..

"Bree you were as cold as ice...You reminded me of my girl, Jazzy...Wait til I see her." said Beverly..
Bresha just laughed..

Josie seemed disappointed.. " He was my professor...I even had a mild crush on him...I would have never thought he was capable of this.." she said.

"I never thought my wife was sleeping with not one, but two men at that firm...Perhaps I should have been a more attentive husband." he said.

"I know this can't be much solace to you..but there was a lesson to be learned here John and I think you've learned it...You'll be better next time." said Olivia.
Amanda Garcetti looked disgusted..


"He had a solid alibi...Rock solid.." said Lt. Tragg.

''Apparently not."said Amanda Garcetti.


"Olivia's husband...He used to be a cop, A Homicide Detective..." said Lt. Tragg..

"A good one apparently...better than what I had to work with!"said Amanda Garcetti , who turned and left..


Taking her briefcase and roller with her...She didn't bother to say goodbye. She exited through the side door and into the street.


"John, Looks like I was wrong..I'm sorry." said Lt. Tragg.

"Get Away from me Artie."said John Stevens quietly as he walked away...


Dodging the Press that wanted a statement after his dramatic exoneration.

"Tonight, everybody put your phones on the chargers and turn them off." said Olivia.
"You don't have to tell me twice.."laughed Beverly.
"Let's go to Josie's tonight..We can at least drink in peace." I said.
"Great idea, plus it's close to home."said Nelson.
"If we catch the train...We can still make happy hour."said Josie.
"Yessss!" said Bresha.

as we waded through the press also..


EPILOUGE-
Ian Jobim was convicted of the murders of Lee Hester and Sherry Stevens and sentenced to die by lethal injection. He fired his court appointed attorney and waived his appeals.. Today he sits on Death Row awaiting his execution...


SATURDAY- BAYSIDE


Two Buses came and transported all of us to the Pancake Pantry in Bayside..

"Glad we could help you."said Danny Ho. "Tragg is livid that we helped you with that Luminol test, but who cares?" he added
"Yeah who cares...He should have been on it."said Jessica.
"He never even tried to figure out how they vanished did he?" asked Chip.

"No and that's what was bothering us from the beginning."said Olivia.
"He missed a number of  outstanding clues in this case." I said.

"Jazzy, you should have seen Bree, she was ice cold...Reminded me of you a lot.."said Beverly..

"Yeah she did..We were proud of her.."said Nelson.


"Awwwwwwww bless her heart."said Jazzy, hugging Bresha.
Bresha just smiled.
Jazzy aint always ice cold...She's quite warm, other places if you know what I mean and I know you do.." joked her husband, Dabnis..
"Ouuuuuu Stop!" laughed Jazzy..."You're so Nasty.." she said, blushing..

Olivia's phone rang...

''Who is this?, anybody I'd want to talk to is right here." she said...  "What ? Oh? Oh myyy, sorry to hear that..." she said.... She hung up!
"Don't tell me, we got another case?" I asked.
"No..That was Assistant U.S. Attorney John Stevens... He called to say they found  Ian Jobim , hanging from his cell this morning before he was to be transported out to prison." said Olivia.

It was indeed sobering news....One woman had ruined two men...Three really if you count John Stevens, her husband ,who was forced to endure a double murder trial....

"There is no need to ruin everybody's meal with this news...We can tell them later."said Olivia..
I looked at my wife and smiled.. She always thought of others...

FOR DANYEL!!!
