In case you didn't see...she gave me a thank-you present.

A pair of earrings. Um. They're her husband.

I'm still debating what do with them.

We had such a good direct examination. She's no saint, but Mrs. DiNapoli managed to do okay when Michael questioned her. It was looking real good.

Until cross-examination

...during which, Mrs. DiNapoli grabbed the judge's gavel and tried to kill the defense attorney.

So. There's that.

It's been a nice weekend of doing nothing. We went out to Long Island today. Michael's dad grilled and his mother wouldn't let me lift a finger.

Tomorrow, however, our star witness (you know, the woman who tried to murder the defendant while she was wearing a wire) takes the stand.

The good news is that Stavro confessed while he was at dinner with Mrs. DiNapoli, who was wearing a wire.

The bad news is...she stabbed him with her steak knife.

He's alive. But, uh, she's our star witness.

...maybe I'll call out sick...
