The OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY  KENNETH JENDELL...

"This is all the pertinent information I have on all of the attorneys you'll be up against on this case. ADA Jendell, said Investigator, Ingrid Stevenson.



"Thank you Ingrid...I was only aware of  four attorneys working for Olivia." said ADA Jendell.


"It is only four...Josie Boyd will not be working this case..She is in Bayside, working as second chair for her husband's first trial...He is about to graduate from Middleton Law School...He's working a Public Defender's trial...His wife, Mrs. Boyd is the licensed Attorney that has to assist him with the case." said Ingrid... "So Olivia enlisted Renee Cantrell-Jones , an attorney they've worked with before to take Ms. Boyd's place." said Ingrid Stevenson..


"Good work, Good Work Ms. Stevenson." said ADA Ken Jendell.


II-

In Bayside, Josie and Paris sat in a coffee shop not far from the courthouse.

"Today you give your closing arguments... You have run a masterful case....I really didn't need to be here...You've been on point this entire trial....I'm proud of you baby, regardless the verdict. You're going to be a fine lawyer." said Josie.


"Thanks babe....You did a fine job cross examining those two witnesess...I thought Olivia and Beverly was up there..."said Paris.

"That was just a little extra.....You really have been running this case quite well...Just remember everything you learned in this trial...That Prosecutor was no slouch, he threw some monkey wrenches at us...but you recovered well without any help from me...I was proud of you..."said Josie.

"I am grateful for you....I was so glad you were here."said Paris..

''Where else would I be babe?"said Josie..

Judge Don Christopher was also in the coffee shop buying coffee...

He walked over to Paris and Josie...

"I really shouldn't be talking to you until after the case...but I just want to say...I am very impressed with you and the way you have handled yourself... You are going to be a fine lawyer when you graduate...Congratulations on a case well run young man...." he said ...He looked at Josie.. I knew I know you...You work with Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her team...You must be very proud of your husband.." he said.

"I am your honor." said Josie..
   

The Judge remembered...   Two years ago... Olivia, Beverly, Nelson, Josie ,Bresha and I were out here in his courtroom trying a case.... He was impressed with all of us...















The sky outside was overcast...but it wasn't raining....

"It's cloudy out." said Josie.
''An Omen perhaps?" said Paris.
"No...it's just cloudy....Come on...we've got to go to court.." she said and dropped a few dollars down on the table and took her husband, by the hand..
While in  Philadelphia at  our Office/Duplex
In our law library...Beverly, Bresha and Renee were busy doing the last bit of research on the present case..
"Well Ladies....It looks like we are ready to go." said Beverly....
"I studied a few of Ken Jendell's other cases...He likes to throw in a surprise or two...a ringer... We'll be ready for him..." said Bresha..
"This experience has certainly been enlightening...." said Renee...

Shana was busy working hard , working virtually from our Law Library and preparing for all of us to stop by her Bar/Gym/Spa on Saturday...

While in the Media Room- 


Nelson and Olivia talked trial strategy and juror selection..

"We want young open minded jurors or as close to that as we can possibly get...It won't be easy."said Nelson.
"Well Nelson, we have to do the best we can....I think the girls are ready....After lunch we'll have one last meeting...with everybody....."said Olivia.


'Where is Donnie Ray?" asked Nelson..

"He's out checking the last person's alibi." said Olivia.

I was at this moment in downtown Philadelphia at a very tony seafood restaurant with Myra Bowers-Oline, the widow of John Oxline....



"Thank you for agreeing to meet me here Mrs.Oxline.. I am Donnie Ray Alexander.. I am an investigator for the Attorneys who are defending Shana Mason, the young woman accused of murdering your husband...We don't believe she is responsible." I said.

"Oh No?  Who do you think is responsible?  Not that I care....And do not refer to me as Mrs Oxline...I will here to for be known as Myra Bowers or Ms. Bowers..." she said.



"I uh met with Leslie Lyedecker....I know that you uh knew about her..."I said.

"I knew about that trollip.....I've known about her for awhile....I had my attorneys remove her from that condo that my husband put her up in.....With him dead now...It's mine!" she said.


"She is on her way out of that condo right now I understand...."I said.


"I didn't know about this girl you say your employers are defending...I only knew about Leslie Lyedecker...Turns out my husband was a bigger male whore than I imagined...." she said..




Our meals arrived.....

I looked around....."Nice place...I have to bring my wife here.." I said.

"Did you know I own a piece of this restaurant?" she said.

"No I did not....did John finance this for you?" I asked as we began to eat...

''Hell No....I had this place when we met..I had my own money....I didn't need John for anything...In fact I got him set up in business...." she said.



"I have to ask you....Where were you during the time they said the murder occurred?" I asked.

"I was here....I was in the back looking at the books , the days sales receipts.." she said..

I smiled.......




III-


ONE DAY LATER-

The trial was over....and the jury had returned with a verdict..... Paris, Josie, their client, Micheal Williams and investigator, Milt Lewis sat together.....a little nervous..









Assistant District Attorney Cass Chambers looked smug and confident...He was certain he had made his case and that this young man ,Micheal Williams was on his way to State Prison....


In the visitor's section...His co-workers, Dabnis Coley, Ray St. Jacques, Tony Billips and Tyrell Jones
sat anxiously...They had been here the past two days and been very supportive..





Also sitting in the visitor's section was  us.. Olivia, myself, Beverly, Nelson, Bresha and Renee...We had come out to see Paris.














"ALL RISE FOR THE HONORABLE JUDGE,  DONALD CHRISTOPHER" said The Bailiff.

"Has the jury come to a decision?" he asked.

"We have your honor." said the bailiff.

They passed the verdict to the bailiff who passed it to the Judge...He read it and passed it back...

"Read it..." he said.

"COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. MICHEAL WILLIAMS , CHARGE ONE,
CONSPIRACY TO COMITT MURDER, WE FIND THE DEFENDENT- NOT GUILTY!"

"COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. MICHEAL WILLIAMS, USING AND INSTRUMENT OF CRIME TO COMITT A FELONY, WE FIND THE DEFENDENT, NOT GUILTY"

"AND THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGE, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA VS. MICHEAL WILLIAMS, SECOND DEGREE MURDER, WE FIND THE DEFENDENT, NOT GUILTY!!


The Judge polled the jury....They all said Not Guilty to a man...The ruling stood..



"YESSSS!  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!" said Micheal....as Bailiffs took the shackles and handcuffs off of him...He was free.....

"A SLAM DUNK!! GOOD JOB BABY!" said a jubilant, Josie.
Paris was jubilant...He had tried a very serious case and had won...
Josie kissed him passionately...
"WAYYYYY TO GO BOYYYYY!" said Dabnis...
"MY MAN!!" said Ray....
"WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!" said Tony.....
"NICE JOB PARIS..." said Tyrell...

These four attorneys who worked with him were so happy for Paris... His days as a Para-legal/Law Student were numbered...He was on his way to being a Law School graduate  and to taking the bar and being sworn in as an attorney.....



"Congratulations Paris." said Olivia, hugging him and kissing him on the cheek..

"Thanks Liv, Beverly, for all your help.."said Paris..

"Don't mention it....You're family........Hey Josie girl...I know you're relieved..." said Beverly, hugging her closest friend..

"I am...but it was so easy...I didn't have a whole lot to do...He knew his stuff..."said Josie...


"I'm so Happy for you both..."said Renee.
"Way to go Paris....Josie girl, I know you're ready for a nice rest..." said Bresha,.

"I am.."laughed Josie.

"You've got the rest of the week off and you can sit this latest trial out if you like..."said Olivia, hugging Josie....

"Congratulations Paris, Josie.."I said..

"Thank You Donnie Ray" said Josie.
"Thank you everybody.." said Paris.


One person who was not jubilant or happy was Professor Lancaster...He couldn't believe his prize student, Cass Chambers had lost....and to Paris Boyd, a law student, his student of the moment, who he still did not respect...He gruffly stomped his foot and stormed angrilly out of the courtroom..
"Stupid Jury...Stupid Jury." he muttered.


IV-

TENDER WAS THE NIGHT!
We were at home..


I sat by myself in the kitchen...I mulled over Mrs. Oline's Alibi... She was indeed at the Seafood restaurant she owned... She was on the camera's video...and the Bookkeeper told me she was definitely there checking the books...but he also said he went out to get food.. Her restaurant was only six blocks from John's Gym....Since there is no cameras in the back...she could have easily of slipped out...shot John and been back by the time he returned from his fod run.. In fact the Book keeper told me she was not there when he returned from getting food...but returned about twenty minutes afterwords...WHERE WAS SHE IN ALL THIS TIME??  It was a question , I think she should have to answer...

"Husbanddddd....I think you should come to beddddd.." said Olivia in a sing songy voice..


"Ohhhhhh my god!!" I whispered... My eyes nearly bulging out of my head...


Olivia laughed as I took her in my arms....


"UMMMMMMMMMMMMM...whatever is racking your brain can wait can't it?" she whispered in my ear...her hot breath exciting me and turning me on..

"I suppose it can." I said.
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...YES It can." she said...

She slowly and descretely ran her hands down my leg, felt my erection and squeezed it a little bit....Her eyes grew wide and she looked at me...

"Whooooooo...I guess you're happy to see me" she whispered...and then giggled.




She looked down at my trousers...My pants were sticking out like a circus tent. She looked at me again...put her hand over her mouth and giggled...

"WOW!" she said..

 She began unbuckling my trousers...I had gotten out of my shoes..and was busy taking my shirt off and tossing it aside....She looked at my fully unsheathed member and just put both of her hands to her face in amazement....

"Oh My God....Look at youuuuuuuu." she said.....


"Look at you baby." I said as I unhooked her bra and began sucking on her breasts....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...." she moaned...

She moaned , all the while holding my penis with both of her hands and rubbing it....

I slipped her beautiful black floral panties down...


and lifted her up and entered her slowly......

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, If I don't get this at night...I can't sleep peacefully.." she cooed..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I FEEL THE SAME WAY!" I said.

Olivia as usual began to tremble something fierce....her head turned from side to side and tears flowed down her face....She was crying tears of joy I suppose..Having an intense orgasm....
It was followed by another one..

"OH I LOVE YOU DONNIE RAY!" she cried out..

"OH I  LOVE YOU TOO!!  I LOVE YOU TOO!" I moaned..

OLIVIA HAD ANOTHER QUICK ORGASM....

Olivia once again began to tremble something fierce....her head turned from side to side and tears flowed down her face...

"OH MY GODDDD!" she cried out..
We made sweet sweet love for EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!!!!

I came so hard, I thought I was dying..




Olivia lie on my chest...catching her breath...and smiling....

"I'll give you some more.........tomorrow.." she said and laughed.....

"Olivia?" I said..

"Yes Honey!" she answered..

" I think Mrs. Oxline's alibi is a fraud...I think she lied." I said before drifting off to sleep.
