And you?

Ronni is very brave...She stabbed her husband

We should just abandon

We should just let her do

Hey..come on...it is no point anyway

The mother-in-law will not give the children

without court order

You are a bloody brilliant

Not so quick

Yeah..Read this!

What does it say?

lt is a court order!

when she asks why you missed the cut

off date for her appeal

She has only two more days to submit grounds

or her setence stance

And you are saying that you don't seem prepared

Ms. Dallal let me be frank with you

l know your group and the work you do

l find a lot of it be quite commendable

l couldn't do your job

By that same turn

l also wouldn't walk into your office and

tell you how to do it?

l have not been for weeks, sometimes

all night looking for something, anything

on which to challange this conviction

l may not be one of those stuff shirts on

billing 500 pounds an hour and billing brandi in the club

But l know the law

And the honest truth is...

The verdict was accurate as a matter of law

l am sorry

l feel for hertoo

But there is just nothing else to be done

l suppose then we will have to look just

a little harder
