COURTROOM A-MONDAY MORNING

Marcy Lewis's  murder trial began today with Judge Michael King presiding...

 He was an okay judge, Tough but fair...but I sure would have rather of had, Judge Kelly Ann presiding.

.

"Alright..Alright..Simmer Down...Simmer down people...I am Judge  Micheal King....I Welcome to my courtroom.... Due to courtroom crowding of cases, we are going to bypass a preliminary hearing...We know that a crime, a henious crime has been committed so we are going to go straight to trial. I expect some of you are tired of hearing this...but it is what it is..We are trying to wind down our case load. We will have Jury selection today. Trial could begin tomorrow morning if we seat a jury today." said Judge King... "We will start today with introductions." he said.

"Representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Assistant District Attorney Jason Kyle your honor." said Jason.

 

 "Mrs. Yvette Jones-Lockwood, Lead Attorney for the Defense your honor." said Yvette.

"Keith Jones, Attorney for the defense your honor."I said.

"Mrs. Beatrice Evans-Jones, Attorney for the Defense."said Bee Bee.

"Mrs. Sofia Garcia -Ahmed, Attorney for the Defense your honor." said Sofia.

"Kahlil Ahmed, Attorney for the defense your honor." said Kahlil.

Jade and Marcy sat quietly with us...

"Alright...Outstanding...We can begin with Jury selection...." he said.

Jason was good and I got the impression he had done his homework too on the type of juror he wanted.

His questions were laser sharp...

It was as if he were against all of us...I suppose he was... Kahlil and I were laser focused too and we had Bee Bee and Sofia behind us on laptops, advising us on questions we wanted to ask and the suitability of each potential juror.

We eked out a 6-6 split with the jury foreman being one of his picks... It was the first time in a long time we hadn't won on Voir Dire...I felt as though we had lost...

Ms. Yvette was satisfied with our performance....She had mentored and molded us for a long time and we hadn't let her down yet....She realized we were up against superior talent...but she also realized we had done our due dilligence..our research and were ready with an aggressive defense.

"OUTSTANDING!" said Judge King..."Alright ....Alright....We now have a jury....Trial will begin tomorrow at 9:00 am sharp! Jurors and Attorneys be on time and be ready for trial...You are all dismissed." he said.

''Well guys..uh good luck!" said Jason Kyle.

Bee Bee and Sofia smiled wryly without saying anything.

"See you tomorrow Jason " was all I said.

"See you tomorrow man." said Kahlil.

None of us was going to say Good Luck to him...We wanted to win an acquittal for Marcy, nothing more, nothing less.

III-

COURTROOM A- 

ADA Jason Kyle was an attractive and charismatic prosecutor who knew how to weave a good story and take control of the narrative...Leading the jury to believe that our client,

was a spoiled and pampered little rich girl who was so jealous and possessive of her aunt , her very rich aunt that she didn't want anyone, especially not the loyal attorney who handled her aunt's legal affairs to get a cut of her massive fortune...

He pointed to the fact that us, the very lawyers who represented her tried unsuccessfully to have her upgraded will voided and the original will re-instated...

Failing in that...Marcy took matters into her own hands and began slowly feeding her aunt food with rat poison caked up into it...Food that was making the old woman gradually sicker in her last days and ultimately killed her!

It was very convincing...If I was a juror ,I might have believed it.

He wasn't prepared for Ms. Yvette.. She too was very attractive and just as charismatic.....She asked the jury where was the proof of any of this?

She stated that although Marcy was not satisfied with the outcome of the hearing for her aunt's will, She was not even living at the estate with her aunt....But her attorney was...she stated.

She said the one person who would know what actually went on there was the house keeper Mrs. Morales, who had strangely vanished...

"Where are we on the housekeeper? I want to subpoena her. " whispered ADA Kyle to Lt. Tragg.

"We haven't been able to locate her. There has been no movement on any of her credit or debit cards...No activity on her phone and no one who knows her has seen or heard from her.. We located her car...in Bayside...with the keys in the ignition."said Lt. Tragg.

"That means she's more than likely dead....Somebody wanted her kept quiet." said Jason Kyle.

ADA Kyle presented four witnesses,,,,,New witnesses unearthed by Lt. Tragg.

Bee Bee and Kahlil eviscerated their testimonies..  Proving that they witnessed nothing...and even finding that one had perjured himself in another trial....

It had brought a smile to Ms. Yvette's face..She was so proud of her protoge's....

It brought anger to ADA Kyle...He was very embarrassed. The very thing he did not want happening in this trial...Especially since it was against us, his former classmates.

ADA Kyle presented people from the Medical Examiner's office and police who were on the scene at the time of Mrs. Lewis's death.....Usually this is dull unattested testimony....

"I asked them if there was any DNA evidence whatsoever of Marcy Lewis on any utensil or bowl that Mrs. Lewis had used... They all said no there was not..

This frustrated ADA Jason Kyle to no end...He couldn't even object....

When he did, Sofia kept him tied up with her own objections and predicates, citing laws pertaining to this case and like cases verbatim...

Judge King was getting a kick out of the four of us...

Ms. Yvette sat back relaxed and amused...because the entire jury seemed to be leaning our way...

Marcy could see it...She smiled..

"You guys are good , that's why I stayed with you..." she said.

Jade smiled....

That night at her home, Ms. Yvette was in a very happy mood.

"The Kids have been great this week...I hardly had to do anything..They put a wrecking ball to ADA Kyle's whole case...They exposed how think and how weak it is...He made his closing argument today and that was weak...My turn next...Ouuuu I feel so good." gushed Yvette.

"I can tell...your breasts get bigger when you're happy."said Gary, smiling..

"They do not...You are so nasty." laughed Yvette...."Unzip me." she said.

''With pleasure.." said Gary..

Yvette turned and kissed him slowly and softly....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it doesn't take much for you to get hard." she whispered and giggled.

"I was already hard." he said.

"I'm not surprised...wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she whispered..

Gary unzipped her dress and slipped it off..

"WOWWWW!  I need sunglasses " he said staring at her matching neon bra and panty set...

"Oh hush up silly." said Yvette , slipping on her night shirt,,,,

Gary lifted her up and entered her slowly..She was good and wet...and very warm inside...It was the best feeling he had in his life..

Yvette moaned and cooed...Her head turned from side to side and tears flowed freely down the side of her face. She was having an intense orgasm!

"GARY YOU'RE THE BEST!" she yelled out happily!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GARYYYYYYYY, UMMMMMMMMMMMM!" moaned Ms. Yvette..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU VETTTTTTTTTTIE, you're my sweet girl." moaned her husband, Gary...

Yvette's head turned from side to side...both of her legs trembled...She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled as he humped away...She had another intense orgasm while he was doing that,....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDDDD!! OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned.

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GIRRRRRRRRL!" moaned Gary...

They made sweet love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

Both managing to climax together...

She lie on his chest, breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath...He was doing the same...

They both drifted off to sleep. Her left leg was still shaking a little bit.

IV-

COURTROOM A-

It was our turn- Me, Bee Bee, our client  Marcy, Sofia, Kahlil and Ms. Jade sat back... It was Ms. Yvette's show now...

Ms. Yvette called her first witness, Attorney Hanlon Dixon...

He had that self assured cockiness about him until he was asked the first question.

Ms. Yvette presented the will, the abridged will of Grizelda Lewis to him...

"This is the will...The Last will and testament of Mrs. Grizelda Lewis....This is what this is all about isn't it? You are featured prominently on this will..You have inherited 2.5 million dollars...  What if I told you this will, prepared by YOU is a fake?" said Ms. Yvette.

"You know that's not true...You and your associates have already lost a case trying to attack it's authencity.." he said.

"OBJECTION!! RELEVANCE!!" screamed Jason Kyle....

"Are you going somewhere with this Mrs. Lockwood?" asked Judge Micheal King.

"I am your honor...I ask for the court's indulgence and I'll tie this all up and perhaps we can all go home today." said Yvette.

"Alright! Proceed!" said Judge King.

"Mr. Forrest, Mr. Tucker, would you two please stand up.." said Yvette.

Two men in the visitors section stood up...

"Mr.Forrest is from the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab...He is a handwriting expert and Mr. Tucker is with the FBI in Quantico...He is also a handwriting expert.. Both men looked at the original will written by Grizelda Lewis, that does not include you and the abridged will which includes you prominently and have compared handwriting and will testify under oath that this will is a fake...But not only this will, but the abridged wills of three other area millionaires, all who had suspiciously fatal accidents just month after their abridged wills were probated.." said Ms. Yvette.

The Jury was astounded...

Harlon Dixon was as red as a beet....

"Last week the police and medical examiners staff members as well as Crime Scene Investigatyors testified that they didn't find my clients fingerprints, not a single fingerprint or her DNA in the residence the past six months.....You know why? She wasn't there.   She wasn't in the country.." said Yvette.

Sofia and Bee Bee showed the jury information from her smartwatch and her smartphone's GPS on a monitor that showed her location for the past six months...

Kahlil and I showed her Credit Card and Debit Card activity, proving all of her purchases and whereabouts for the past six months...

''Do you know whose DNA and prints they did find....All over the kitchen?   YOURS!  and I found a credit card receipt from your credit card.....You ordered a huge amount of Rat Poison...Rat poison contains arsenic...The kind of arsenic found in Grizelda Lewis's food.. You poisoned her over a period of time...DIDN'T YOU?" said Ms. Yvette.

Harlon Dixon was as red as a beet and looked at Ms. Yvette like he wanted to strangle her...He had no idea that they had pulled this much information up on him....

Ms. Yvette looked at Ms. Jade...

"My investigator is very good...She used to be a Homicide Detective....She said this was a paint by the numbers case....It was easy to investigate once she got on the right track....And I'm sure the police will look into those three other fatal accidents involving your clients and the mysterious disapearence of the housekeeper Mrs. Morales and tie them to you also..You Horrible mannnnnnnnnn!" said Ms. Yvette in closing.

"Your Honor in lieu of this new evidence...The People ask that all charges against Ms. Marcy Lewis be dropped." said ADA Jason Kyle, who had to admit...His old law school chums had out lawyered and out classed him ,led by their foxy and attractive boss.

"So Ordered ! Ms. Lewis ,you are free to go! Bailiffs , take Mr. Dixon into custody..."said the Judge.

ADA Jason Kyle was livid with Lt. Tragg..

"Just some routine police work...You heard what she said...It was a cookie cutter case...You are the worst detective I have ever dealt with..." he snarled.

"Button your lip sonny boy...Button it!" snarled an equally angry and frustrated Lt. Tragg.

"Ohhhhh thank you Yvette, Thank you." said Marcy Lewis, newly freed and exonerated..

She hugged her, while crying profusely...

"You guys are the best!."she said.

 

 

"It was a pleasure working for you...and thank you for your patience with us and believing in us. "said Yvette.

"Now you can have all of your inheritance...Every Bit of it." I said.

"And Ole Harlon is going to jail as he should." said Bee Bee.

"Hopefully those other three people's family will get justice too!"said Sofia.

"I wonder what happened to Poor Mrs. Morales.?" asked Kahlil.

"Yeah I'm wondering that too!" asked Jade.

"We are going to Sam Mothers for Breakfast Ms. Yvette, you coming?" asked Bee Bee.

"No...I'm going into town...Maybe I'll visit my husband...You guys go on..And you've got the rest of the day off..Call Virginia and tell her to lock up the office."said Yvette.

"OUUU THANK YOU MS YVETTE!" squealed Sofia.

"THANKS BOSS LADY!" I said, smiling.

"THANK YOU!" said Kahlil.

"See you tomorrow!" said Jade.

THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY ROCKLAND CAMBRIDGE-

"Knock Knock!" said Yvette, smiling.

Her husband, D.A. Investigator Gary Lockwood was filing away some old case files..

"Heyyyyyyy Vettie Girl.. You must have won in court today huh?  Rockland is at lunch....If I know right, he made a bee line to Olivia and Beverly's crib and is spending his lunch kissing and slobbering on Ms. Alfreda. I expect him back around 4:00..."laughed Gary...

"Good! That gives us time to kiss and slobber over each other." said Yvette..

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU FEEL GOOD VETTIE!" moaned Gary as they began to kiss.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SO DO YOU!   YOU'RE AS HARD AS A BRICK!" she cooed.

"I CAN'T HELP IT...YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD THAT EFFECT ON ME!" Gary said.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU HAVE I?" she asked.

"YOU KNOW YOU HAVE!" he said.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

He slipped her panties down..

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu!" he exclaimed, marveling at her panties.

"I wore these for Good Luck!" she cooed.

"I guess you had good luck...you won in court today." said Gary.

"And you're having good luck too!"laughed Yvette.

"I sure am..." he laughed.

He lifted her up and entered her slowly....She was good and wet...and very warm inside...It was the best feeling he had in his life..

Yvette moaned and cooed...Her head turned from side to side and tears flowed freely down the side of her face. She was having an intense orgasm!

"GARY YOU'RE THE BEST!" she yelled out happily!

"DON'T YOU FORGET IT!" he said , smiling....as he continued to thrust away...

Today was indeed a good day.

EPILOUGE-

Attorney Harlon Dixon was disbarred and tried and convicted of the murders of Grizelda Lewis and three other people and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences...

About a month later , the body of Mrs. Morales washed up on the shore.  Harlon Dixon was convicted of her murder also and sentenced to death... 

Marcy Lewis received her auntie's full fortune and bought a bar and grille down the shore.. She had heard that our friend and fellow attorney, Nelson East had two Beach Houses down the shore that we hung out in ...So while we were there again the next week... She invited us to her new club, which she recently bought and owned.. It had just opened.

So she invited us all to the grand opening of her new bar, which was right near the shore.

We headed to her club where all of our drinks were on the house.

A nice spacious place where the bar was so large...Our entire group was able to be seated at the bar.....

. 

  "Marcy, thank you sooo much for this invite...This place is beautiful." said Ms. Yvette.

"Are you kidding? Thank you for getting me off of a murder rap and helping me get all of my late auntie's fortune." said Marcy.

"This place is great Marcy.." said Gary.

"And the drinks are good and cheap too!" I said.

"I knew you'd like that combonation."laughed my wife, Bee Bee.

Sofia laughed... "But I have to agree with him.." she said.

"Yeah the drinks are great and it's so comfortable in here."said Kahlil.

"I heard Lt. Tragg got reemed out for the way he goofed that case."laughed Jade.

"He was sent to Quantico to take the advanced Detective's course.. It's a two week course...

He's the laughing stock of the entire department."said her husband, Danny Ho.

"When isn't he?" laughed Ms. Virginia.

Jetty laughed loudly...

 

"I love this place, The Ambience...Ouuuuuuuuuuu"gushed Olivia.

 

"It's not on the beach though...but I suppose it's close enough."said Donnie Ray.

"It's closer to our Beach Houses than most places...It's only a three block walk."said Beverly.

"Hey I don't care...These drinks are great."said Nelson...

"Umm I'm so glad we are walking back to the Beach Houses...I'm going to be "White girl wasted." said Josie.

Paris spit his drink out laughing... "White Girl wasted hahahahahahahaha." he said.
