THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHARON CARTER

Sharon was looking over dossiers on us...She was quite impressed... 

''Looks like Bresha Williams did alright for herself.. interned with a nice little boutique law firm, Black Run and more importantly Black female run... They offered her a job after her internship....She built quite a reputation for herself..during her internship...  Working with so many talented attorneys during her time with Olivia and Beverly.. Attorneys from the Innocence Project, McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt, who I interviewed for...and others...and she bagged Tony Billips....woww...Some girls have all the luck...He was working for a firm in Cherry Hill and now he works here in Philly with all of these attorneys down at the Bridge Building...How nice... I've been there...they have a gym and a fly ass cafeteria....Not bad...Not Bad Bresha..." pondered Sharon Carter looking at the files on us and some of our friends.

She also looked over the trial transcripts of the last case against Sylvia Peterson..

ADA Nicole Edwards , the lead attorney on the case walked in with coffees...She looked at the dossiers spread out on Sharon's desk and the trial transcripts from the last case....She smiled. Sharon had the makings of a good attorney...

She passed her a coffee. 

"I see you're boning up on this case... I was up all night reading the trial transcripts from the last case...It's mostly made up of gossip and hearsay....No physical evidence whatsoever... I am amazed the original prosecutor was able to do as much with it as she did.. God rest her soul... Olivia ,Beverly and Nelson torpedoed that case...and created so much reasonable doubt that if I had sat on that jury, I would have voted for an acquittal." said  Nicole.

"So what's different now." askedADA Sharon Carter.

"Motive!  Sylvia Peterson was innocent the first go around...Olivia and Beverly were hired by a guy named Lockjoy...Jason Lockjoy, Peterson's Broker....Bag man really...and a transfer of funds was made from his account to Theirs for payment, get this TWO DAYS after Roderick Peterson was said to have vanished.. Olivia and Beverly didn't catch it!!!. Lt. Tragg certainly didn't catch it... The guy was alive all along...but now after six years...He comes in from the cold.. He calls and meets with his ex-wife...but now things are different...She's involved with, engaged to another man and in just one more year he's going to be declared legally dead, she can forgo a divorce and collect on a million dollar insurance policy....She can't have him still walking around, fouling everything up....So she kills him for real this time ,makes sure he's dead." said Nicole.

"WOWWW! Lt. Tragg actually got in gear and boned up on this investigation."said ADA Sharon Carter..

"The Hell he did... The only boner he's got is the one in his pants...He wants to get in my panties so bad it's driving him nuts...I have a boyfriend, Judge Newton Cowley and I've told him this...He just can't get it through his thick skull..I used to be a Homicide Detective...I did a little digging myself..I came up with this..I don't know what the hell he's doing...Probably home , sulking , masturbating and having wet dreams about me and or Olivia Bennett-Alexander, his other obsession...Neither one of us wants him..." said Nicole..

Both women cracked up laughing....

It was a Friday afternoon. We were all in our new hangout spot, The No ID Bar....It was comfortable, So nice to be able to relax and drink and eat with your good friends...

"He told you that??? Wow!  Here is what I think the Prosecution is going to argue..."said Olivia...

They are going to say there is a motive...We were hired by .Jason Lockjoy, Peterson's Broker....Bag man really...and a transfer of funds was made from his account to Theirs for payment, get this TWO DAYS after Roderick Peterson was said to have vanished.. We didn't catch.it. Lt. Tragg certainly didn't catch it... The guy was alive all along...but now after six years...he comes in from the cold.. He calls and meets with his ex-wife...but now things are different...She's involved with, engaged to another man and in just one more year he's going to be declared legally dead, she can forgo a divorce and collect on a million dollar insurance policy....She can't have him still walking around, fouling everything up....So she kills him for real this time ,makes sure he's dead. That's how they are going to play it..."said Olivia.

"Well what they don't know...is what my mysterious friend told me.."Roderick  Peterson was a co-operating  witness...he helped us make a case against 40 Organized Crime Figures in Atlantic City...It was a career making case.. We put him in the Witness Protection Program....We told him he could take his wife with him..He explained that they were going through a divorce and to forget her...We gave him a new name... Thomas Jones...and we moved him to San-Francisco with a new job, New Social security card..The works... Then that idiot ,Lt. Arthur Tragg came up with this ridiculous theory that she was murdered that threatened to expose our entire operation.... That's when I contacted Jason Lockjoy.....his broker...He was the only person who knew that Roderick Peterson was actually still alive.. Roderick funneled money , money that the U.S. Government gave him to pay for your wife and her niece's services...We knew that if anybody could get Mrs. Peterson off, you guys could and you did not disappoint. We didn't know Peterson was going to come in out of the cold...We told him we couldn't protect him if he retirned to Philadelphia...Torres, the man he fingered got released from a 30 year sentence on a technicality...Luckily...his 39 henchmen are safely tucked away in Federal Prisons around the country..but he was out and living here.. We told Peterson that...but he needed to see his wife...Make things right." he said.. "he was going to tell me more..but Lt. Tragg walked in and naturally, the fact that I was having a conversation with someone didn't matter to him...He needed to know who the man was and what were we talking about. He threatened to arrest me , to pull my license ....Liv, when you showed up and when Nicole Edwards showed up, you saved me from a trip to the "Fishbowl" at Central Booking." I said.

"He had no grounds to arrest you...No grounds to know who you were talking to and what it was about...Especially if no crime had been committed..OUUUUUUUUU HE MAKES ME SOOO MADDD!"said Beverly...

"Relax....Relax.... We'll humiliate him in court,like we always do."said Nelson..

"I can't wait....The Onus is going to be on them to prove this....They have no physical proof of their theory, No gun, no nothing...They're going to fall on their face just like they did six years ago."said Josie.

"I remember that case...You were just starting law school then and a Para-legal."said Paris.

"WOWWW!  I'm glad just to be part of this now!"said Bresha.

"WOWWWWW You guys do get involved in some landmark cases..."said Bresha's husband, Tony...

"Don't they? And they've got the support system to do just that too!"said Alfreda with pride, glad to be part of our team..

Rockland came to the table with drinks for all of us...

And there were plenty of drinks around the three long tables

Yvette, Gary, Bee Bee, Keith, Sofia, Kahlil, Jade, Danny, Virginia and Jetty were all sitting at the table in back of me.

"We had an interesting week...Two court dates and two litigations handled here at the Bridge Building. I'm exhausted...So glad we wrapped all of that up.."said Yvette, resting her head on Gary's shoulders.

Gary hugged his wife...

"What's the plan for this weekend? I know we are coming here tomorrow for Brunch..." said Gary,,,

"Me ,Keith, Sofia, Kahlil, Jessica and Chip are going to the movies tomorrow night."said Bee Bee.

''Yeah...we haven't been to the movies in awhile.." I said.

"You're welcome to join us Ms. Yvette, Gary..."said Sofia.

"It'll be a good time...Ms. Jade..You and Danny should come too...We can get you tickets on line."said Kahlil.

"After the week we had with those four cases...I think I'd love a movie night.."said Jade.

"Yeah me too!"said Danny....

''Me and my hubby are staying in Saturday Night..."said Virginia... "But you guys enjoy!" she said.

"Cause I know I'm gonna enjoy myself... ummmmmm ummmph!" Jetty said to himself..

There was good Pan Pizza tonight.... Every body helped themselves  to the hot slices of pizza.....

"Ummmmmmm I love this place and to think...It was right across the street from where we worked all along." said Jazzy.

Dabnis was having a conversation with Olivia about the case... Monday, let's do a zoom call, so I can piggy back off of your case."said Dabnis to Olivia.

"Okay...Around 10:00 AM...I'll set it up." said Olivia..

"My cousins, making big news as always.."said Kayla.

"Bennett Women, making history."joked her husband, Ray....

"You love the Bennett Women."laughed Jessica... "I love them too!" laughed Jessica.

"Hey you two come up for air."said her husband, Chip to Natalie and David Charles who weren't drinking or eating...but busy kissing passionately....

"Ummmmmmmm he's right David....Let's have some Pizza and sime beer..."said Natalie, easing out of his embrace...

''Okay." he said.

They both laughed and then began kissing some more...

"Boss Lady is out with her boyfriend B.L. tonight.." said Brooke to her husband, Federal Public defender, Sean Marks

"Ohhhhhhhhh, because normally she'd be getting white girl wasted with us.." said Sean, laughing...

"Ummmmm this pizza is good."said Lem...

"Yes it is.." said Zoey, who had joined us tonight..

As another Pizza was delivered to our table...

along with more beer 

and Martinis..

II-

SATURDAY NIGHT- While our other friends were at the movies or elsewhere...Olivia, Beverly, Nelson and I were in Chinatown...At Eddie Lee's restaurant, voted one of the ten best eateries in Philadelphia and also the upstairs home to a quasi -legal casino where the cities top Russian and Asian mobsters played games of chance... Eddie Lee kept Chinatown quiet....No Loan sharking, No Drugs...Because of that, the police left his operation alone.

"Welllllllll Donnie Ray....Young ladies....I see you came to bless my establishment again." said Eddie Lee. He gave them a deck of cards and set them up in two different Poker games...

''Thank You Eddie." said Olivia.

"Thank You Eddie." said Beverly.

"Are you playing also young man?" Eddie Lee asked Nelson..

"No...I just like to watch..." said Nelson, who didn't play Poker at all.

''And you, Donnie Ray, you want information"said Eddie Lee.

"You know me so well Eddie...I need some information on Joey Torres of Atlantic City..."I said.

Eddie Lee's face grew grave...

''He's a clown...He's not welcome here...He was released from Federal Prison, after serving less than 6 years of a 30 year sentence... He had to leave Atlantic City because the word on the street was that he was a snitch, which is why his 39 co-defendents are still languishing in Federal Prisons and he is out..

He used to come in here...Whining and complaining about how all of his problems was because of Roderick Peterson...He said Peterson was into him for a quarter of a million dollars...and that he turned in states evidence to save his neck from a federal beef and it took him and his entire operation down...His fiance broke up with him and married someone else and now he was banished to Philadelphia...He said he knew that the Feds had pt Roderick Peterson in witness protection...but then he said if he ever found out his whereabouts...he was going to find him and kill him...I got tired of his constant whining and complaining and fighting with my customers , so I tossed him out..." said Eddie Lee.

"You got an address for this guy?" I asked.

Eddie wrote an address on a piece of paper..

"That's the last known place that he laid his head..." he said.

"Thank you Eddie." I said.

''Well Ladies...How did you do tonight?" asked Eddie.

"I won $3500.00 tonight and called it a night." said Olivia...

"I won $2500.00 tonight...Not as much as Auntay....but enough...."said Beverly....

"That's what I like about you ladies....You know how to hold em and when to fold em..."laughed Eddie Lee...

"Did you get what you needed Donnie Ray?" asked Nelson...

"Sure Did...Let's go home moneybags..." I said to Olivia...

Olivia and Beverly giggled.

We called it a night and went home.

Nightfall

What better to do at night...after a busy but otherwise successful day but make love.. 

A light rain began to fall....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"cooed Olivia in between slow, butter soft kisses..

"Donnie Ray, take my clothes off...nowwww..." whispered Olivia in my ear,....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...Come here my little sexy moneybags!" I moaned..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" I moaned..

Olivia took her skirt off and unhooked her bra herself while still kissing me....

I eased her silky sheer tights down and off slowly.

"OHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDD!" I moaned..

I lifted her up...I slowly entered her....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO, Aye...Ayeeeeeeee, Ayeeeee, Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….OH MY GOD DONNIE RAYYY!...OUUUUU! YOU ARE ALL UP IN THIS..OUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" she screamed.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO, Aye...Ayeeeeeeee, Ayeeeee, Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….OH MY GOD ...OUUUUU!  ayyyee, aye yi yiiiiii" she screamed.

I placed her on top of the bathroom sink, spread her legs and slowly and silently entered her again..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...I've really got to clean this top off with Comet in the morning...As much as we've done the nasty on top of this...OUUUUUUUUUUUU!"whispered Olivia in my ear in between slow, soft kisses...

"OHHHHHHHHHH OLIVIAAAAAA I JUST LOVE YOU SOOOOO DAMN MUCH!" I moaned..

"I love you too...I love you too Donnie Ray." she whispered..

We sat on the side of the bed and she rode me like a surfer rides the waves..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOOOOOO

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, OH MY GODDDDD, YOU ARE SNATCHING MY SOULLLLLL...WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed...as she had yet another intense orgasm ,making her body tremble like crazy, her head move from side to side and tears just stream down the side of her face..

By the time we made it to the bed, She was having yet another orgasm... Her body trembling..Her head moving from side to side and tears streaming down the side of her face.."OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" I moaned. ,collapsing on top of her.

"YOU ARE A BEAST!  ARE YOU ON SOMETHING DONNIE RAY? VIAGRA, CIALIS???" she asked.

"No not yet...Maybe in a few years!" I said , trying to catch my breath.

We made love for the next  NINE TO TEN HOURS..

...As the rain continued to pour down....

The floor below us, Beverly and Nelson weren't wasting anytime either..

.They were in their new couch, kissing ,making up for lost time..

"Ouuuuuuuu baby, we said we weren't going to screw on the new couch...Let's go to the bedroom...I'm not going anywhere...but into your arms.."said Beverly, easing out of Nelson's embrace and taking him by the hand and leading him to their bedroom.

They continued kissing passionately..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...HUSSSBANDDDDDDDD!" she cooed.

Beverly eased away from him...They fell up against their refrigerator door...Kissing...

He had his hand deep in her panties, squeezing her butt...

"OUUU NELSON, OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" She moaned loudly.

They finally made it to the bedroom where they undressed...

Nelson bent her over the bed where he entered her doggie style..

"OUUUUUUUU..OUUUUUUUUU..UMMMMMPH YOU DIRTY DOG!! OUUUUUUUUUU!" she moaned as her body trembled... 

She rode him cowgirl style and continued kissing him....

They sat on the side of the bed, Beverly continuing to ride him and kiss him...

and finally in bed where they made love with unbridled passion for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS...

III-

"Everything is hot and fresh....I'm glad we got in here early....We went to early church service this morning."said Virginia as she and Jetty made themselves plates.."What you guys do last night? Jetty and I stayed in." she said.

''We all went to the movies... it was a good film."said Danny Ho.

"I love going to the movies...Hot Buttered Popcorn..."said Jade.

"Hot Nachos with cheese.."said Kahlil...

"Yeah it was cool." said Gary...

"I liked it...It was nice, all of us going to the movies..."said Yvette.

"Here comes the rest of your group, Josie, Bresha...heard they went to Chinatown.." said David Charles.

"Hey everybody.....we are in here kinda late....We had some kinda night in Chinatown last night." I said.

Olivia and Beverly smiled sheepishly....

"What did you guys do last night?" Nelson asked Alfreda..

"Me and Rockland stayed in...I made popcorn and we Netflixed and Chilled." said Alfreda..

"Guess we are gettin old."laughed Rockland..

"Nooooo, Not at all. Lem and I stayed in last night too." said Zoey....

"Some Nights , you just need to chill." said Lem.

Bresha and Tony were in line to get a second helping when they both heard a familliar voice...

"Bresha!!! Tony!!! Hi...It's me, Sharon Carter from Law school, How are you doing?" she said...

"Hi Sharonnnnn!"said Bresha, hugging her..

"Heyyy Girl." said Tony...

"First off, Congratulations on yall's wedding and congrats on becoming a part of Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West's team girl....Wowwww!   And to you too Tony, got a job with a good firm here in Philly...You're down at the Bridge building huh? Nice!!!"said Sharon...

I am An Assistant District Attorney..Matter of fact, I'm second chair on the Sylvia Peterson case that you guys are trying..."said Sharon Carter..

''Ohhhh wowwww, so we'll see each other in court next week huh?" said Bresha.

"Yeahhhhh how about that?"  said Sharon as they made themselves plates...

"Shortcake....I gotta make a stop today....You feel like taaking a ride with me?" I asked..

''Sure...." said Beverly...

We were going to pay Mr. Joey Torres an impromptu visit.

IV-

Beverly and I  arrived at the apartment complex where Joey Torres was said to live...

I parked across the street... There was something eerily quiet about the apartment complex ....but it was Sunday afternoon...

"Hmmm, it seems eerily quiet around here." I said.

"I had an apartment a few blocks from here when I was working as a Public Defender...It's always  quiet around here..People stay to themselves...They aren't too open or friendly...It's not like our neighborhood." said Beverly.

We walked up the stairs to his apartment... I rang the bell...There was an awful smell in the hallway...near his door. The door was open... we walked in...As soon as we opened the door.. The awful smell hit us... As A Homicide Detective...that smell was familliar to me...

"WHEWWWWWW!" said Beverly...

"OH MY GOD!" I said.

It was a nice looking apartment...Clean and tidy....but one walk into the kitchen and there he was, slumped over the kitchen table...with a nice clean hole in his head...and a puddle of dried up blood on the floor...a .22 still in his hands...

Joey Torres wasn't going to tell us anything...He was dead!

"He apparently died of one gunshot wound to the head....and he's been dead for about a week....Whooooo judging by rigor and this smell..." said a CSI man..

Beverly threw up in a waste basket...

Hazel rubbed her back...ran some cold water and placed a cold towel on her forehead...

"This looks like a suicide...but we won't know for sure until we examine the body fully."said Dr. Marcy Martin to me..

"WOW!" I said.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" asked Lt. Tragg as he and four uniformed officers walked in...

"Beverly and I came here to question this man...His name was Joey Torres, He was a Big time Gambler from Atlantic City...Six years ago....Roderick Peterson was into this guy for a quarter of a million dollars in Atlantic City and the Feds had a Wire Fraud case against Roderick Peterson...He cut a deal with the feds...He turned in states Evidence on Torres and 39 of his cronies...All Atlantic City Organized Crime figures.. All 40 of them went to federal prisons... 39 of them are still locked up, serving 30 year sentences... This guy here got paroled last year....He's persona non grata in Atlantic City and word on the street was if he ever saw Roderick Peterson again, he was going to kill him.. Somebody, I don't know who ,told him that Peterson had come in from the cold, that cold being witness protection..and was back in Philadelphia..I know Peterson contacted his wife two days before his death..and I came here to ask Torres if he saw Peterson and instead ,found him like this." I explained.

"Looks like a suicide to me..Self inflicted...Does this have anything to do with that guy you were talking to in Sam Mothers a few days ago?" he asked...

Before I could answer....another familliar face walked in the room.. It was U.S. Attorney Todd Dellums.

"I'm sorry but I'm going to have to take jurisdiction here...This is a federal matter.."said U.S. Attorney, Todd Dellums..

"THE HELL YOU DO!!!...THIS IS MY INVESTIGATION, I AM THE DETECTIVE HERE! " bellowed Lt. Tragg..

"This guy here was a major player in a federal investigation...He was my confidential informant...So my investigation trumps yours...Now please don't cause me any further headaches...Get out of the way...

If you guys are finished here...You can wrap him up and forward the Autopsy reports and crime scene reports to the U.S. Attorneys Office care of me, U.S. Attorney, Todd Dellums....Donnie Ray ,what are you doing here?" he asked me.

"Beverly and I found the body....As you know...Olivia, Beverly and company are defending Sylvia Peterson on first degree murder charges..Beverly and I came here to question this man...His name was Joey Torres, He was a Big time Gambler from Atlantic City...Six years ago....Roderick Peterson was into this guy for a quarter of a million dollars in Atlantic City and the Feds had a Wire Fraud case against Roderick Peterson...He cut a deal with you feds...He turned in states Evidence on Torres and 39 of his cronies...All Atlantic City Organized Crime figures.. All 40 of them went to federal prisons... 39 of them are still locked up, serving 30 year sentences... This guy here got paroled last year....He's persona non grata in Atlantic City and word on the street was if he ever saw Roderick Peterson again, he was going to kill him.. Somebody, I don't know who ,told him that Peterson had come in from the cold, that cold being witness protection..and was back in Philadelphia..I know Peterson contacted his wife two days before his death..and I came here to ask Torres if he saw Peterson and instead , found him like this." I explained.

"I see...I know Olivia and Beverly are defending Sylvia Peterson. Donnie Ray ,I will tell you what I can, when I can...I promise...but I can't speak on much right now...This is a very sensitive case."said Todd.

"YOU AREN'T GOING TO SPEAK ON ANYTHING!!!! THIS IS MY INVESTIGATION....GET OUT OF HERE!! BOTH OF YOU!!! I AM THE DETECTIVE HERE!!! " bellowed Lt. Tragg..

"Guys, I'm a U.S. Attorney.....My authority trumps his...Let's wrap this up , get him out of here."said Todd Dellums..

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYY   YOUUUUUUU! YOU DON'T PULL RANK ON ME!!! THIS IS MYYYY INVESTIGATION...." said Lt. Tragg.

Lt Tragg punched him in the jaw so hard, he nearly took his head off...Todd spun around like a top...I was surprised he didn't fall down....That punch was fast enough and hard enough to have knocked him out...

Todd pushed people away, He hit Lt. Tragg in the face with 18 lefts and 18 rights...He then slugged him in the stomach, which folded him over...He  blocked two of his next punches and hit him with 18 more lefts and 18 more rights to his face, knocking him out of the kitchen and into the living room on to the couch in the living room and on to the floor.. He rolled on to the floor and did not get up...He was out for the count.

Hazel and Beverly, now recovered from her sickness were howling loudly....laughing so hard they were holding each other..

Dr. Marcy Martin and I were stunned...

The CSI guys and the uniformed officers finished up and wrapped the body up and strapped it to the gurney....They rolled it out.....None of them laughed or snickered, such was their fear of Lt. Tragg, who was waking up and starting to get up off the living room floor., stunned.

Federal Agents handcuffed Lt. Tragg, and walked him out...He was under arrest for assaulting a U.S. Attorney and interfering with a federal investigation.

Both of his eyes were blackened and nearly swollen shut....His nose was bleeding profusely and his cheeks were discolored and swollen..His lips were swollen... His shirt was out of his pants, the left sleeve of his suit was nearly torn off and his hair was a mess..

He could still hear Hazel and Beverly laughing loudly as he was walked out in handcuffs and placed in a Federal car...

They were holding each other tightly....

Todd walked out with only a slightly discolored cheek...Other than that...he looked fine..

"He can't stay out of trouble..I think he's been in one too many fights, had too many good licks to the head."laughed Alfreda

as she poured glasses of Ice tea for everyone.

Beverly was laughing so hard, she couldn't talk....She was shaking...

''Awwwwww Baby, was it that funny?" asked Olivia, knowing it was..and rubbing Beverly's back..

Nelson was bowled over too..

"He knocked him from the Kitchen into the Living room...Oh My Godddd!" he said.

Beverly had snapped a photo of the disheveled Lt. Tragg being led out in handcuffs....Both of his eyes were blackened and nearly swollen shut....His nose was bleeding profusely and his cheeks were discolored..His lips were swollen. His shirt was out of his pants, the left sleeve of his suit was nearly torn off and his hair was a mess..

Josie and Bresha were laughing hysterically....as hard as Beverly, with tears streaming down their faces..

Rockland just shook his head...

"You needed that witness didn't you Liv?" he asked quietly...

"I did, but he was dead already when Bev and Donnie Ray got there." said Olivia.

"Yeah, he was dead already...Todd Dellums said he'd give me what information he could as soon as he could."I said.

"Who knows when that will be?" said Paris..

''So Liv where does this leave the trial?" asked Tony.

''Exactly where it was.. We are going to put the onus on the Prosecution to prove our client killed this man..." said Olivia.

(CONCLUSION NEXT)
