Stacey and Friends

"Something happened in his town, a high-profile case involving the lacrosse team!" yelled Honowitz.

"You can keep screaming it," said Geragos, "but there's no evidence — none. It certainly hasn't stopped you from convicting these guys, has it?"

"Mark! Mark! Mark!" she yelled.

"It certainly hasn't stopped you from having a presumption of guilt in this case, has it?"

"All I'm telling you is you don't need DNA!" she said in a near-rage.

"Why do you assume?" needled Geragos. "Why do you assume that there's evidence? Why aren't you, as a good prosecutor ..."

"Why are you saying that?" hollered Honowitz, now towering over Geragos. "Obviously this prosecutor is doing what every good prosecutor would do!"

Finally the knife sprang from her teeth and sailed across the street, narrowly missing a window-shopping pair of tourists.

I began edging away.

"It was nice to meet you all," I said, walking backward.

Stacey waved and told me to watch her on TV.

I knew I would.
