ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 166

Joy came through the courtroom as quietly as she could and sat next to Spencer in the back as he was feeding Miracle organic animal crackers. " Sorry, I'm late," she whispered to him as she settled her tote bag on her lap and made sure her cell phone was turned off. " Traffic was just awful. Typical gridlock. I should have taken the metro but I hate that too. What did I miss ? "

Spencer glanced at her and said," I'm not quite sure but I think it's becoming what DuBuis calls a mess. "

Kenneth Zoss leaned back on his highly polished heels as he continued questioning LuLu who kept blinking her eyes in an innocent way. " Could you please describe exactly what you personally witnessed that day happening between Faith Lane and Montgomery County Police Officer Ted Young ? "

" Most certainly, sir. I saw her beating on him. On his head and shoulders. It was just awful. "

People in the gallery area began to whisper excitedly to each other.

Faith lowered her head with her hands over it.

Jeremiah and Amanda exchanged glances over Faith's head.

In the back a heavily bruised and beaten Roscoe sat with his cell phone secretly recording everything.

L.L. banged his gavel twice. " Order ! I will have order! Mr. Zoss , please continue questioning the witness. "

Kenneth nodded. " Mrs. Simms , did you see anything else happening that day between the defendant Faith Lane and young Officer Young ? Anything at all? "

" Objection ! ," Amanda rang out with as she stood up from her seat. " Mr. Zoss is attempting to lead the witness. "

L.L. was silent as he thought to himself. Then he said swiftly," Sustained. Mr. Zoss , be careful. "

Kenneth twisted his lips upwards briefly before he returned his face to its normal blandness. " Of course. Your honor. Mrs. Simms , please, in your own words tell us all exactly what else you saw that day? "

LuLu felt a little uncomfortable. She really hated being in a damn courtroom again. But she had to finish this out. Then maybe she would head to find Bullet again. Since Jonah had given her the money she owed Bullet couldn't be still mad at her. Especially if she paid. And she needed a little pick me up right now. A little weed wouldn't hurt the kid. Much. She smoked with Jimmy and Sol after all. Now that she thought about it maybe that wasn't such a good idea now. She blinked her eyes and looked around the courtroom. Why was everyone looking at her? , she wondered. Oh , right.

" Oh , yes ," she whispered in an overly distressed voice that actually trembled. " I saw her , after hitting and shoving him , I saw her try to grab his gun. I saw it. That's what I saw. Frankly I think she was trying to kill him. She has a history you know. "

" Objection! ," Jeremiah, Amanda and Faith both exclaimed as they all jumped to their feet.

Jeremiah stepped forward. " I request that the witness's last statement be stripped from the record. It's obviously designed to negatively influence the jury against my client. "

L.L. touched his forehead. " Sustained. "
