ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON THIRTEEN

Episode 93

              Breaking News

This is Lynda Lopez live from the PG County Jail with an early developing news story that directly affects the Dodie Angeletti hit and run case which went to jury deliberations yesterday afternoon.

We have reports from jail sources that the defendant Dodie Angeletti has been rushed to St. Paul's Hospital Center. There is no immediate word on the condition of Mrs. Angeletti or why she was taken to the hospital. We are expecting a press conference shortly with jail officials and the assistant state's attorney Paul Paterson who is the prosecutor in this high profile case. We have attempted to reach Judge Richard Norland for a comment on this new development and what effect it may have on the case which has already gone to the jury who are currently sequestered at a local hotel but we have been unable to reach him. We also attempted to reach the defendant's mother Glory Giadello for comment but also failed to reach her. We will definitely keep you posted with more details on this newly developing story as they come in.

" Where's my daughter? ," Glory yelled as she ran into the ER followed by Andrew who was close behind her on the phone with Alfred who was still home with Gerald and the triplets.

She grabbed the nearest nurse to her and said sharply," My daughter. Dorothy Angeletti. Dodie. She was..... They said something happened at the jail. They said she is here. Where is my daughter? How is she ?"

The nurse said briskly as she shook off the older woman's hands," Let me get the doctor, ma'am. One second please. "

Then as she turned around, quickly opening a door and slipping inside the treatment area that was separated from the waiting room , Andrew touched his wife on the shoulder. " Darling, sweetheart, it'll be okay. Relax. Alfred wants you to relax. He's worried about you. So am I. "

Glory pulled away from him. She closed her eyes and ran her trembling hands down her tear stained face. " Leave me alone. "

Andrew shook his head at her as she reopened her eyes and jerked away from him. " What? ," he asked as Alfred on the phone wanted to know what was going on there.

Glory snapped," Just please leave me alone right now. Please. Something is wrong with my daughter. " She began to cry. " I just need to find someone who's can tell me what the fuck is going on. What is wrong with this hospital! "

A young doctor with tired eyes and a white lab coat over blue medical scrubs came over to them both. He asked with a weary undercurrent to his voice," You are the ones asking about Mrs. Angeletti ? Dorothy Angeletti ? "

Glory shook her head vehemently. " I'm her mother. Is she okay? The jail didn't tell me anything on the phone. What is wrong with my daughter? Please tell me something. "

" Ma'am," he said quietly but urgently ," she was transported from the county jail in critical condition. Apparently she attempted to hang herself in her cell. "

" Oh my God ! ," Glory gasped and her body swayed slightly to the point she would have fallen down had Andrew not grabbed hold of her shoulders and steadied her. " No. Not my daughter. Dodie is Catholic. She would never kill herself ! Suicide is a sin ! There must be a mistake! "

Alfred said over the phone," What is going on? Talk to me, Drew ! Did I hear someone say suicide? What is wrong with my sister ! "

The doctor continued on ," I can't speak on any of that , ma'am. I just know she is in critical condition right now from the hanging. She is also in a very deep coma. We're trying our best but we don't know if she will make it. "

" No ! ," Glory screamed wildly as though her heart was being ripped out. " No ! No ! No ! Not my daughter! "

Andrew tried to wrap his arms around her and she pulled away from him.

Glory stared at him and yelled," Go away ! This is all your son's fault ! I know she did wrong but he didn't have to keep her in jail. He could have let her out with bail. On house arrest. She could have given up her passport. If she had been home or with us or with her brother she would not.... wouldn't have..... Just leave me alone. "

Andrew reared back in shock as Alfred said impatiently on the phone," Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on ! "
