"What's wrong iwth Judge Judy," Alex demanded. "Are we a bit intimidated by
strong women suddenly? Honestly, Nick..." she grinned at him shaking her
head.
She sat down at the table silently. Not knowing whatelse to do. Really

only help she could be was to the prosecution and for Nick's sake she didn't
want to do that.
