Morning Rizzoli. What can we do for you? I got assigned to a case that is dealing with a private. Write down who, I will look who is assigned to the case.

Thanks Tim.
Tim looks it up and it's assigned to a colleague. He walks with me and introduces me to the assigned agent. I thank him and he leaves. The jag lawyer said he barely got the case assigned this morning so he still looking into it. He wanted to know why I was interested in it. I informed him his client is a son of my coworkers. I would help him in anyway he would need help even with our investigators who have found some evidence to prove his innocence. I gave him a copy of such evidence.
Mrs. Rizzoli you made my job so much easier. It usually takes us awhile if we even find such evidence. I know you retired from the military so you know how this works and is time consuming. Some of your previous cases are used as excellent casework. Thank you. This evidence here will provide me with what I need to prove his innocence. If I need further assistance, I will definitely contact you at your firm.
I left and headed to the court house for my own case against Lisa with Judge Joan Tunney as the new judge a assigned to the case. It was Daniela. I don't know how Ann and Daniela got it switched out of Daniela being the presiding judge and don't care either. Daniela is the one who will have to explain why Lisa and my cases were switched to other judges.
Rizzoli and Marcos in my chambers now.

Joan took off her robe and sat down.
You two have a seat. Why am I and the other judges getting Daniela's cases that have you both or one of you as the lawyer? Rizzoli you first. A situation arose that the two of us don't feel comfortable discussing with you nor any other judge. This is something you need to discuss with Daniela. You can bring up fines and jail time and the answer would still be the same. It would be in the best interest of the court and city of Sacramento not to look into this matter. It would be embarrassing and would impact your colleagues job. Your saying Rizzoli I'd i throw you in jail, you won't say anything. I would say something to the media but it wouldn't look well on you judges. I see. Marcos do you agree with Rizzoli? Yes your honour. Okay let's get back to court. I will ask Daniela myself later.
We left Joan's chambers.
Jane this can get real ugly for us. You saw what it did for Simon. I wasn't here during that time but am aware. They don't want anything to be brought up in public again. If they do, Daniela will be disbarred . My firm will not hire her.
We both enter the court room. Joan isn't too happy by the look on her face.
Rizzoli and Marcos I am aware now. This case will be heard and disciplinary actions will be occurring. Now let's get this case off my docket.
We both look at another. Lisa does her opening statement than I do mine. We go until lunchtime. I take my lunch and head to the law area to eat in peace or thought would be.
Here you are. Jane I am under scrutiny amongst my colleagues now. It will be up to them if they report me. Daniela I didn't lie to Joan. Neither of us expected to be questioned by her. This is your mess to handle. I know and I am sorry. I know you are but it's out of my hands. Good luck. If you are fired from your position here, my firm will not be an option.
Daniela left. I called Lisa, Cheryl and my wife. I updated them. Lisa had already contacted Cheryl who updated Maura about our conversation with Joan. They were surprised Daniela looked for me and addressed me. Cheryl and Jane said it's Daniela's fault and any repercussions would be her problem not ours. Lisa was quiet. She said she had a conversation with Ann and it wasn't good because Ann is worried about Daniela even though it's her own fault. We ended the telephone group call. I finished my lunch. I went back to court. After 3p.m. my client decided to change his plea to guilty. I left for the office and updated my colleagues on my case and the coworkers son. Harold, baby girl. Rebecca and Eric were surprised about my conversation with Joan and I stated Daniela would not be hired as an employee but knew it had to be a good reason. I left and went home.
