Toni POV: Kenny has been locked up for two months. I miss my man so much, today finally he has a court date. All of our family was here for support. They walked him out in handcuffs and stood him beside me. I reached over and we started kissing.

Kenny: I missed you baby so much you know that I love you right. I don't know why I did this, I'm sorry

Toni: I know baby. Listen we're going to get you out of here ok. Here I brought your glasses

Kenny: thank you I could hardly see *puts on his glasses*

Police: enough physical contact!

Kenny: Bitch

Toni: honey stop. 

Kenny: fine

The judge came in and they started the trial

Judge: Mr. Edmonds are you pleading Guilty or not Guilty to the murder of Kevin Richardson

Kenny: Not Guilty

Judge: sir you admitted to killing him why are you pleading not guilty

Kenny: He sexually assaulted my wife, and I take it as self defense.

Judge: sir we count it as self defense, if you killed him at the time he was trying to assault her. More than 2 hours later is murder.

Kenny: ok whatever

Toni: *mumbles* Kenny stop! Be as nice as you can baby I don't want you to go to jail.

Kenny: I'll try

Toni: listen my husband wasn't thinking. He just wanted to protect me

Judge: was there any witnesses as the crime scene

Police: no when we arrived. We found Kevin dead, and Mr. Edmonds with the gun in his hand. Kevin suffered one gun shot to the knee and one to the head

Judge: And is that all the evidence we have

Police: yes mam

Judge: ok everyone were taking a ten minute break. When we come back I will announce my decision

Toni: baby just keep your head up

Kenny: No I can't. Look who my judge is a old white woman. She doesn't care that I'm a businessman, a dad, a husband. All she sees that I'm a black man who killed a white man.

Toni: it's ok honey.
