Hey Emma, it’s so good to see you. I hope you enjoyed your time in LA. How long was that flight? [PAUSE FOR ANSWER] 5 and half hours? Not too bad considering you flew from South Carolina to California. I’ve had a nice weekend with Austin and Charlotte, but I could use a real vacation. I’m so caught up on my work. This case that I am working on is probably one of the hardest I’ve ever dealt with. I am defending a man that I am honestly having a hard time believing is innocent. He is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. There is some evidence out there that if the prosecution team gets ahold of, I’m screwed. Scratch that. My entire family is screwed. Guess who the lawyer is for the prosecution team? [Pause for answer]. No not Elle Woods from legally blonde. It’s Jane Smith. Yes that Jane Smith, my rival ever since I was back at Yale. Her husband is running against Austin for Senate and if she gets ahold of that evidence, she can use it to manipulate the court AND the image of my family for defending the man. I was at a point where I was going to tell my client to find a new lawyer, but I can’t let Jane think I’m giving up on a case because I’m up against her. She’s a good lawyer with some real brains, but she’ll never be as good as me. I have some serious studying to do. I need to find him an alibi. Someone needs to be able to truthfully say that they were with him or saw from 12:45 to 3 am on August 18th, 2020. I have a few people who said that they saw him at a campground, but I’m trying to find someone with more concrete evidence. I need to persuade this court that my client is innocent. I’m super nervous, but talking to you helped me feel more relaxed and made me feel more confident in my plan. Thank you for always being there to listen to me, Emma, I really appreciate it. Now let’s go down to the beach.
