Double Jeopardy Page #2

---

- The handset cord had been cut.

- And as you approached the boat,

- what did you see?

- Mrs Parsons was holding a knife.

I show you State's exhibit

number four.

Mayday, mayday,

this is "Morning Star".

- State your emergency.

- I've been stabbed.

I'm bleeding. Jesus...

My name is Nicholas Parsons.

- State your position?

- I don't know.

Three miles northwest of

Whidbey lsland, I guess.

Oh, God!

Mrs Parsons,

you've heard the testimony,

and your explanation is that someone

must have boarded the boat.

That's right.

Well, let's consider

all the possibilities.

Maybe a band of pirates. Or aliens.

Did aliens murder your husband?

No, aliens weren't beneficiaries in

your husband's life insurance.

- Objection. The prosecutor...

- Overruled.

- I told you what happened.

- You told us that you were asleep.

Maybe you were sleepwalking

when you stabbed him to death.

- This isn't a closing argument.

- Withdrawn.

I didn't kill my husband.

I loved my husband.

I did not kill my husband!

You have to believe me.

I'm sorry, Libby.

It's not your fault, Bobby.

I want to ask you something, Angie.

I'd like you to adopt my son.

- I can't do that. Not to you.

- I've thought it through.

I barely survived my parents' house.

I'm not going to put him there.

Money's no problem. The two million

is going into a trust fund in his name.

- It isn't about money.

- I know.

Matty loves you.

We can't let him become

a ward of the State.

Thank you.

Hey kiddo, come see me.

You're going to stay with Angie

for a while.

And you're going to have lots of fun.

I know you're going to be a good boy.

Yes, Mommy.

As soon as all this is over,

we'll be together again.

That's a promise, kiddo.

I love you.

I love you too.

- Who's this?

- Rich b*tch from Whidbey lsland.

- She ain't gonna make it.

- What do you think? A year?

Five cartons says she offs herself

inside of six months.

- Get away from me.

- Take it easy. We're your friends.

Heard you did your husband.

He probably deserved it.

Mine did.

- I know what a pain it is to get here.

- I taught him how to say the ABC's.

- Is that true?

- Yes.

Did you learn the alphabet, sweetie?

Can you tell me?

A, B, C, D, E, F, G,

H, l, J, K, L, M, N, O, P,

Q, R, S, T, U, V,

W, X, Y and Z.

Now I know my ABC's

next time won't you sing with me

- Give it up. Come on.

- Get off the phone, b*tch.

You're low on cigarettes. You wanna

make friends? Buy another pack fast.

'Cause your personality

ain't the best I've ever seen.

You're trying to reach your friend,

the one with your boy?

Yeah, I can't find him.

He disappeared.

If you could disappear that easy,

I wouldn't be here now.
