COURTROOM A- A FEW NIGHTS LATER!
NIGHT COURT-
In Philadelphia, Night Court only operates two nights a week....Tuesday and Thursday, Tonight was Tuesday...and fortunately...We got an arraignment date of 8:00 pm.
As usual,The Judge in this case would not be the Judge in the actual case....
Lt. Tragg was not there... Night court was too low profile for him...No witnesses...No media..and a bunch of Judges and ADA's who were mostly older Judges and ADA's about to retire...It was lightweight. It was in session from 7:00 pm- 10:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays...We were quite fortunate to get a date.
Lt. Tragg was off tonight..
He was in the loft with Kelly Anne.
Making sweet love all night..
The ADA that did show up was not going to be the ADA that tried the case...He had only the basic out line of the case at hand... He basically wanted to go home...So he didn't really put up much of a fight.We presented 10 charactor witnesses , all from the courthouse. That's all we could get..A lot of people
didn't want to testify to Josh Hoffman's charactor.
in the media. Hated for cheating on his wife, Attorney Evelyn Tate-Hoffman who was devastated not only by this, but by photos mailed to her a week earlier.
His Father in law..Judge Julius Tate was in a State of Rage.. he was on Television talks shows talking about how he always suspected his son in law was a cheat and a liar and an all around bad person.
But Joshua Hoffman was an Assistant District Attorney, a respected officer of the court...This helped him.
But Joshua Hoffman was an Assistant District Attorney, a respected officer of the court...This helped him.
After Olivia finished laughing...She agreed to take Joshua Hoffman's case..
Tragg.
Like her beloved Aunt, Beverly too laughed out loud when District Attorney Gil Garcetti
called them to his office and asked them if they would take on Josh Hoffman's case. In the end, she sided with her Aunt and agreed to take on the case.
Nelson and Josie tried very hard to find charactor witnesses... They found 13 who agreed to testify on his behalf in Night Court and only 10 who actually showed up.
"Olivia, Beverly, Donnie Ray, Josie ,Nelson and Bresha...I can't thank you enough....what a horrendous few days...." said Josh Hoffman, newly freed ,awaiting trial and very happy. to be out of jail. He had on the same clothes he had been arrested in... He had been locked up for seven days...He just wanted to shave, shower and put on some clean clothes.
"Josh we are going over to Sam Mother's for some food...I'm sure you're hungry and want some hot comfort food.."said Olivia.
"Yes, thank you..I'll join you." said Josh Hoffman. He was so grateful we took his case...He had told Gil Garcetti that we wouldn't take his case , that we'd just laugh....We did laugh...but in the end we agreed to take his case. 
"Ohhhh this food is so good...It feels so good to eat real hot food again...and drink hot coffee.." said Joshua Hoffman..
"You got a place to stay Josh?" asked Olivia.
"Yes...I'm staying in the guest room at Gil Garcetti's house... My wife had all of my things shipped over to the D.A.'s Office. All of it ,except my clothing and toiletries are in Public Storage now...."said Josh sadly.... 
"Josh...The cops have Beer, Loaded Condoms , numerous semen stains and Marijuana...Naturally your fingerprints and DNA is all over that room, but there is someone else's semen in the dead girl's body...There is an empty champaigne bottle with a foreign fingerprint smudge on it and DNA that is not yours. There was a fourth person in the room...Who was it?" I asked.
"There was....a guy...a friend or client of Gretchen Bondi...I didn't catch his name...I vaguely remember...My mind is ...is so blank from that night...I'm trying to remember."said Josh.
"Get some rest...A nice hot shower and a good nights sleep will maybe help clear your thoughts."said Beverly.
"Then you come see us tomorrow."said Nelson.
"We have some things to give you, a portal and a burner phone." said Josie.
''Somebody is out to get you...a week before...some very salacious photos and a video of you and Gretchen having sex in that room was sent to your wife and your father in law..."I said.
"WHAT??" Blackmail??" asked Joshua Hoffman.
"No....if it was extortion...The photos would have been sent to you and something would have been asked for...Money or what have you....These were sent to your wife and your father in law, the Judge..
"Ha...Lt. Tragg...He's not too happy about me getting him taken off the street and put on that boat."laughed Joshua Hoffman.
"I don't think this is him!....He's been on that boat this whole time, working from midnight to daybreak...Though I wouldn't put the pettiness above him....He just wouldn't have time to do this or the resources and he wouldn't take part in a murder...He's not THAT DEVIOUS!" said Beverly.
"Or that smart!"said Joshua.
"You've prosecuted a lot of gangsters....heavy hitters....Do you think it could be any of them?" asked Nelson.
"Nobody I can think of but you never know."said Joshua.
"Call Gil, tell him we are dropping you off...I trust your car is with him too!"said Olivia.
"It's parked in the back of his house... Thank you Olivia."said Josh Hoffman.
DAYBREAK-
"Oh Arthur I'm so glad to see you...It's been two weeks...and I'm as Horny as a cat." said Judge Kelly Ann.
"Oh My God, So am I...I'm so horny I can't see straight.." said Lt. Tragg..
They began kissing passionately...
.jpg)
He unhooked her bra and slowly slipped her panties down...
They began making sweet sweet love......"OHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ARTHUR!!
Last Night, The Judge was very passionate-a far cry from her prissy controlled public demeanor....She straddled him and began to ride him cowgirl style.
They couldn't stop kissing.
He was ecstatic, knowing that Hoffman, who was responsible for him being on the boat in the first place was behind bars and accused of murdering a young girl, something he couldn't have anticipated. (He had no idea that Olivia and Beverly and crew had already arraigned him and gotten him sprung from jail last night.) and that his wife had put him out of the house and his Father in Law was screaming for his disbarment. He loved it.
Miles away at our Office Duplex-
We all sat in our conference room..
Joshua Hoffman was prompt...He looked better..He had had a good night's sleep, had showered and shaved and had on a nice clean and pressed suit...If it wasn't for his dire situation...I would have thought
"Gretchen Bondi and I met shortly after the Bridget Jones trial...She was representing Mikal Mogolovich as you remember.. We went out to dinner, We went out for drinks and eventually we wound up in that hotel room in bed...After a couple of trysts...We decided we wanted a threesome....Gretchen has defended a number of Russian and Asian Gangsters, Underworld Figures ..She knew a prostitute, a woman she was currently representing . We picked her up at a dive bar in Little Norway. Then we drove to a new restaurant in Center City..We had Tacos and some beers... There we ran into a friend of the young lady. Some Guy....I didn't know him, but Gretchen and this woman knew him...She told him we were partying...We went back to the room...I didn't really want him there...He had marijuana with him...We bought two cases of beer..We all drank the beers and smoked a lot of marijuana...We were good and toasted...This guy had some bottles of beer...We all drank some...He took Gretchen in the bedroom and they went at it and I slept with Valentina...on the couch...Afterwords...I slept with Gretchen and he slept with Valentina...I felt dizzy and after I came, I fell down in the living room in the corner...I don't have any memory of what else happened.. All I know is I woke up nude on the floor, Gretchen ,clad in only panties and bra was knocked out in the bedroom and Valentina was on the floor , strangled to death and the guy, our fourth party guest was nowhere to be found...but the police were in the room, snapping photos of Valentina and waking us up and charging us with murder. That's all I remember." said Joshua.
Beverly and Josie appeared to be skived out by Josh's story of a wild night of hedonism.
"As I told you, the cops found loaded condoms, semen stains on the bed, the wall and the floor, beer and marijuana... The DNA is largely yours....but there is foreign DNA in the room that is unidentifiable, meaning there is obviously a fourth player...Who was not in the room when the police got there. Also you guys may have been roofied.. Rohypnol was found in your urine,If you all drank champaigne, that's how it got into your systems...It was heaviest In Gretchen's and in Valentina's body....Which is why soon all of you were asleep, but your friend was gone..." I said.
"Also, how did the police know that there was a fatality in your room?" asked Beverly.
"Detective James Tragg said that they got an anonymous call at Homicide."said Olivia.
"Always an anonymous tip." scoffed Beverly..
"This Detective James Tragg, any relation to Arthur Tragg?" asked Josh Hoffman.
"They're cousins." said Olivia.
"Are you serious?" asked Josh Hoffman.
"Yes." said Olivia.
"Turn your phone and devices over to us...We'll keep them in our safe. Disable your GPS." said Nelson.
"This is something nice to drink on this cold winter day." said Alfreda.
"You're a beautiful woman....You're Beverly's Mother huh? Wowwwww. No wonder she is so cute.
"No...Olivia's Older Brother is the father of Beverly. We are no longer together"said Alfreda, who was surprised he was flirting with her in his present situation.
"Ohhhhhhhhh I see....Are you married?"he asked.
"Yes, I'm married to Assistant District Attorney Rockland Cambridge...You may know him."said Alfreda.
"Ohhhhh, yes I do know him....He's a lucky man." said Joshua Hoffman.
''We are going to have dinner upstairs in my domicile...You are welcome to join us."said Olivia.
"Thank you Olivia...Your kindness knows no bounds....I am having dinner with Gil Garcetti and his son tonight...I'll have to take a raincheck, but thank you all....You are the salt of the Earth.. I'll see you guys later." said Josh as he left and got in his car.and pulled off.
Russian Gangster, Mikal Mogolovich.had a visitor today....He had been convicted of the murder of Tate Dennison... In about a week he would be transferred to Stanga Correctional Facility, where he would begin serving his 20 year sentence... With good behavior, he figured he would do 5-7 years and be paroled.
His cousin, Sergey Mogolovich paid him a visit...
"Get yourself together? I'm the one about to go away to prison...What have you got to get yourself together for?" laughed Mikal.
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" asked Mikal.
"I think I may have killed someone....It was an accident...I swear." said Sergey..
"Don't talk so loud...Tell me what happened and don't leave out anything...I can get you a lawyer...
"That's the thing...See I run into her a few weeks ago....In Bar in little Norway...She was with guy, Prosecutor in that Bridget Jones Murder case...Hoffman, She and he had this other girl with them...
"YOU FOOL! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE?" screamed Mikal.
"I did, I Did...I wiped my prints off of as much as I could and I called from a burner phone...and I split... They arrested both Gretchen and Hoffman, charged them with murder...Gretchen got a lawyer ,who got her arraigned and released...I don't know where she is.. and I think Hoffman is still in jail."said Sergay..
Mikal laughed..."THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!! But if I were you...I'd get out of town for a few days...Go to Pasha, tell him I said to front you some cash... Get on the bus and go to Atlantic City." said Mikal.
"You mean about Sergay Mogolovich, the fourth person in that room? Yes, I know about him... He's a young low level hood.. She represented him...Got him 2 years probation for possession of a controlled substance..(Marijuana) with intent to distribute...He's the cousin of Mikal, who she represented during your defense of Bridget Jones." said H.Stanley Stanlison."You uh weren't planning to share that with us were you?" asked Beverly.
"I just did! You asked and I told you what you wanted to know." said H. Stanley Stanlison.
"He was the fourth player in the room...That is more than likely his DNA, His Semen in addition to our client's too!" said Nelson.
"Yes...doesn't prove he did anything more than participate in the sexual activity and get high." said H.Stanley Stanlison.
"You reppin him too?" asked Josie.
"Nope! I'm just saying what the prosecution will say." said H.Stanley Stanlison.
''Did you share this information with the police?" I asked.
"I did...With Detective James Tragg and Sgt. Brice... James Tragg is not much better than his cousin, Arthur...Talking to him is like talking to a brick wall... Brice was a little bit more receptive.I told him about the Champaigne Bottle and the foreign DNA..Tragg just blew me off!"said H.Stanley Stanlison.
"It appears he has dropped out of sight....I had a subpoena already to give him, but he wasn't at any of his known addresses or hangouts.....It appears the young man has skipped town."said H.Stanley Stanlison who smiled at Olivia.. "You really have it good...Such an attentive staff,,,who asks such good questions." he said.
"Yes they are wonderful.."said Olivia, smiling.
as she looked out the window at the Marina...and the water.
FRIDAY NIGHT- THE NO I.D. BAR-
"I wouldn't say that...We know the name of our fourth guy in the room..."I said.
"We need to go to the M.E.'s Office and see if they have his DNA...Maybe they took some skin samples off of the girl's neck."said Beverly.
"Yeah..that's a good idea."said Nelson.
"Donnie Ray can I go with you and Bev?" asked Josie.
''Sure, why not?" I said.
"Bree you can go with me....I'm going back to the crime scene." said Olivia.
"Ouu I feel like a detective."said Bresha.
"He's right and I used to do all of this by myself...The Research and the investigative work."said Olivia.
"She used to come over my old apartment sometimes, dog tired and just sleep on my couch.."remembered Alfreda.
"Life is so different for all of us now." said Rockland.
"Nice to have a cool bar right across the street from where you work."said her husband Gary, who was munching on a chicken wing.
"And this shrimp."said Bee Bee.
"I think she is...I think I got a glimpse of her the last time I passed the kitchen on the way to the ladies room."said Sofia.
"I don't care who she is...This chicken is good."said Kahlil.
"Yesssss." said Jetty.
More Drinks arrived.

''So Liv, where is your client?" asked Jazzy.
"We are used to your clients hanging out with us...Though maybe not him." said Dabnis.
''Well his wife put him out...Most of his things are in Public Storage. He's Staying with Gil and Chris Garcetti." said Olivia.
.jpg)
"That's nice that his boss believes in him."said Kayla.
"Well right now everybody is talking about his fall from grace." said B.L.
"Same here...And Consenting adults having threesomes is nothing new....I guess it's just a married man like him and someone with his high profile has captured the public's imagination.."said Brooke.
Zoey cracked up laughing...
"That's a shame. I almost feel sorry for him." said Renee.
"So where is he tonight Olivia?" asked Lee.
"He's staying with Gil and Chris Garcetti for now." said Olivia.
"Ohhhhhhh." said Matthew.
"I know Gil...He likes to drink after a weeks work....Now he may be in Curley's or somewhere else...Can Hoffman go into Curley's without being held up to ridicule?" asked Nina.
"Hmmmm I wonder where Gretchen is tonight.?" asked Beverly.
"Yeah, We never did find out where she was or get to see her."said Olivia.
"I've missed you sooooo much..So glad to see you."said Gretchen.
"I've missed you too."said Joshua.
They both began kissing passionately....
Usually Beverly went with me when I did my investigation...This time Bresha went with me..
She learned a lot.
The Case was bad...and Publicity was bad , but never the less, Joshua Hoffman was known and basically liked around the courthouse before this scandal...He was released on his own recognizance.
"Olivia, Beverly, Donnie Ray, Josie ,Nelson and Bresha...I can't thank you enough....what a horrendous few days...." said Josh Hoffman, newly freed ,awaiting trial and very happy. to be out of jail. He had on the same clothes he had been arrested in... He had been locked up for seven days...He just wanted to shave, shower and put on some clean clothes.
We all went to Sam Mother's Diner.
We all ordered some comfort food meals...Meatloaf, Mashed potatoes and Green Peas and Shrimp and Grits....
"That was nice of Gil...He believes you are innocent of murder...It's nice that he does."said Olivia.
"There was....a guy...a friend or client of Gretchen Bondi...I didn't catch his name...I vaguely remember...My mind is ...is so blank from that night...I'm trying to remember."said Josh.
"We want you to surrender your phone and devices to us and to disable the GPS on them."said Bresha.
''Somebody is out to get you...a week before...some very salacious photos and a video of you and Gretchen having sex in that room was sent to your wife and your father in law..."I said.
"WHAT??" Blackmail??" asked Joshua Hoffman.
"No....if it was extortion...The photos would have been sent to you and something would have been asked for...Money or what have you....These were sent to your wife and your father in law, the Judge..
This was pure revenge... You've got an enemy somewhere...You have any idea who?" asked Olivia.
"Ha...Lt. Tragg...He's not too happy about me getting him taken off the street and put on that boat."laughed Joshua Hoffman.
"Or that smart!"said Joshua.
We all busted out laughing....
"You've prosecuted a lot of gangsters....heavy hitters....Do you think it could be any of them?" asked Nelson.
"Nobody I can think of but you never know."said Joshua.
"It's parked in the back of his house... Thank you Olivia."said Josh Hoffman.

DAYBREAK-
Judge Kelly Ann Mercer stood on her terrace and waved goodbye to Lt. Arthur Tragg..
He stumbled out of her loft with her lipstick all over the side of his face and the lapel of his denim shirt..
He had spent the afternoon with her... It had been the first time in two weeks ,since he was on the Marine Boat...
He remembered how glad she was to see him the night before..

he was headed to court to prosecute a trial.
''Well you look no worse for the wear....We need you to tell us what you remember about that night Josh." said Olivia.
"Gretchen Bondi and I met shortly after the Bridget Jones trial...She was representing Mikal Mogolovich as you remember..

Beverly and Josie appeared to be skived out by Josh's story of a wild night of hedonism.
"Always an anonymous tip." scoffed Beverly..
"They're cousins." said Olivia.
"This is a Portal...You will use this so you can communicate with us and keep up on the progress of your defense.."said Josie.
"This is a Burner Phone, write this number down, remember it...When you need to communicate with us...Call us on this phone at this number...Do not call our business phone numbers or our personal numbers..."said Bresha.
Alfreda placed hot steaming cups of Hot Cocoa in front of all of us.
Are you Olivia's sister?" asked Josh Hoffman.

"Thank you Olivia...Your kindness knows no bounds....I am having dinner with Gil Garcetti and his son tonight...I'll have to take a raincheck, but thank you all....You are the salt of the Earth.. I'll see you guys later." said Josh as he left and got in his car.and pulled off.
