Myself, Jane, Korsak, Frost, and Susie  had to testify so the District Attorney himself could make the verdict be guilty. The alleged killer's attorney was good. The Collin's family was well known in Boston. The parents always enabled his reckless behavior.  This time we had enough evidence including the Boston Fire Department.  Jeff Collins purposedly burned a warehouse knowing his girlfriend's brother was inside. Wayne Ames did not care for Jeff Collins. He knew he was just using his sister for her beauty and connections in the business world.  We found the proof that he tried to burn that proved on a hard drive that showed he was just Jessie Ames. The District Attorney called Detective Barry Frost.
"Detective Frost what did you find on the hard drive on the laptop that Jeff purposedly try to burn in the warehouse along side Wayne Ames?"    " The hard drive showed that Collins had this plan to go after Jessie Ames. I recovered several notes, pictures and messages he made to his mother of his plan. I downloaded them on this usb drive so you all can see what was wriiten, text to his mother. His mother even responded as you can see here."  Frost was pointing out several notes and messages via correspondence via the intranet. Many people think they are safe when they use intranet vs internet which isn't true." The defense attorney tried to back pedal a little, but you could tell the jury wasn't believing what the defense attorney was saying. Susie Chang,  the lab technician made a three dimensional  model of where Wayne Ames had started the fire. "As you can see my reenactment in the  video on screen."  The fire fighter Abel Cruz went into detail how the fire burned. Maur was up next and showed the photos before an autopsy was performed of the charred body of Wayne
.Jessie cried and couldn't make contact with Jeff.  Jane was up next to testify why the District Attorney chose to have both Jeff and his mother,  Marion Collins be charged together besides what Frost had testified.  " I found several finger prints and blood that belonged to Marion be present before the fire was set by her son Jeff along with the warehouse security camera had time stamped her there too. They didn't realize the security camera footage was held elsewhere.  It wasn't kept in the warehouse.  The footage was kept at the owners home." The District Attorney rests."  The Collins attorney couldn't refute the last part of Jane's testimony.  The mother and son were charged with first degree murder, pre meditated and  arson  in the death of Wayne Ames.  Jeff still wanted a relationship with his girlfriend. Marion and Jeff couldn't grasp when she told them both go to hell. Mr. Collins the father and husband were shocked to find out they killed Wayne Ames. He walked away hurt.

Korsak asked Antonio what he thought of the hearing?  "Korsak I felt bad for the father  because he couldn't believe his son and wife could such a horrific thing to a human being. I don't get why the DA wanted you present because you didn't testify?"  " I  was present just in case their attorney refuted Jane's testimony.  I was there when Jane found such evidence. Alright my team, Susie and Dr. Isles good job. Let's call it day and start our weekend."     "Maur and Jane dinner at Kevin's tonight. I am picking up the meat to grill. Jane will you and Maur pick his date?  I will give you Cindy's address.  Atwater took part of the day off to clean his place up."   "Sure we can do that."  Jane and I went to my place to change. Jane drove her vehicle.
