The Supreme Court looked different than the layout in Boston. Jane noticed that the desks were closer together.
She wanted to win so that she could retire and have Abbie out of her ear.

The Jury chuckled.
"Anyways, uh, I wanted to close because it's better you hear from me than Abbie. Why? Well, I am, was, and always will be a Marine. There is no such thing as an ex-Marine, but I want to be a Veteran.

I was shot, well the bullet grazed my ribs pretty damn good and I could have died leaving my wife and daughter behind. Imagine, going somewhere and your wife is expecting and getting shot or God forbid, killed.
"So I stand before you today, a Marine. A wife. A mother. And I beg you to see what the Marines are doing to me and my family and take that into consideration. Please think not of your country, but your neighbor. Think about that when you make your choice."
