“I don’t care if they’re pushing it because he’s the human manifestation of a care bare the man committed an abhorrent crime and needs to pay for it. Shame the death penalty isn’t still in rotation.” The woman muttered, and although this didn’t in fact reflect her actual beliefs her mind was muddled at this time. Chances are Lena would see this easily considering how long the two had worked together, but it didn’t mean there was any less venom in the lawyers voice. “It shouldn’t be too hard to prove he’s faking it anyway, the mans alibi is almost too simple to be real. It’s too easy.” She was talking to herself, but looked up moments later to smile at the blonde. “Right, keep him off all of my cases will you? I don’t need him screwing up any of the groundwork I put in before I took maternity leave.” She frowned a little, trying to work out if there was any truth to Lena’s words but she didn’t seem to think so, she thought she was being quite normal. “I don’t think I’m being intense, i’m being normal.”
“Well, yeah, but we have to give reasoning other than ‘he’s the physical manifestation of a care bear’,” she joked lightly. “Just filling you in on what I think we’re planning on telling the judge. “Woah, the death penalty? I’ve never heard you say that,” she raised her brows. She nodded at Casey’s statement. “Yeah, I agree. It’s not even close to airtight, and I think we can get CCTV from where he claims to be. It should be fairly simple.” She chuckled a little at Casey’s words, not wanting to admit out loud that she didn’t disagree with the sentiment. “You’ve got my word that he won’t touch anything you’ve been working on.” The blonde tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. “Okay, I’ll trust you. I’m just worried about you. That’s what friends do, right?” She smiled softly.
