Starling City: Outside Courthouse
Martin Somers was being swamped by reporters as he entered the courthouse.
"Mr. Somers, one question, sir." one reporter requests.
" I don't know what I've done to earn this witch-hunt from Miss Lance and her bosses at the CNRI. But I can tell you this. I am an honest businessman, and I will fight this slander to my last dime and breath. That's all I have to say, thank you." Somers told all the reporters and journalists before pushing past them to enter the courthouse.
The reporters stood outside the courthouse chatting when one of them spotted Oliver and Tommy leaving and Diggle in front.
"There's Mr. Queen!"
Everyone rushed over to Oliver "Tell us what happened inside Mr. Queen!" One tried to push his microphone into Oliver's face.
Oliver ignored all of them as Diggle led them to the car.
"Get back," Diggle ordered as Oliver got in the car.
"What happened in there?"
"All right everyone get back!" Diggle shoves them away then a guy shoved the microphone in Diggles face which pissed him off "Hey man, I'll make you swallow that Nikon! Back!"
Tommy and Diggles had turned towards the car which was now driving off.
"This happens to you a lot huh?" Tommy asked Diggle who let out a huff.

Inside the courthouse
"A father," Laurel stood in a courtroom "A man with a daughter. The plaintiff will prove by a preponderance of evidence that Victor Nocenti learned that his boss, that man sitting right there, Martin Somers, was taking bribes from the Chinese Triads to smuggle drugs into our city."
"And when Victor Nocenti threatened to tell the police..."
~~~
A man slits Victor's throat.
~~~
"Martin Somers had him killed." Laurel added as she stood in front of the jury "Mr. Somers is very well-connected, and has friends in the District Attorney's office. Which is why, if Emily Nocenti is to get justice for her father's death, if Martin Somers is to get justice for his crimes, then someone is going to have to do it for them."
