Where: Legal Library
When: Afternoon.
Rating/Warnings:Violence



The scene had been a hard one for even some of the seasoned cops to handle. The death of children was always a little harder to handle than that of adults. The six month old, Faith, had been shot in point blank in her crib. Nothing had been left of her precious little face. The two year old, David, had been shot in chest as he'd come shyly out of his bedroom to check on his little sister.

Bloody foot prints had led from one room to another suggesting two suspects. The children's father, the multi-million dollar business man, Chase Harper. The second was his girlfriend, Socialite and hotel heiress, Bianca Winters. One didn't have to go far to eliminate Chase as the murder. He happened to be the third victim. His body lay twisted at the bottom of the stairs like an unloved doll. His neck had been broken in two places from the fall.

When the police had found Bianca she'd been parked outside of her club. Tears ran down her cheeks turning the blood stains from a drying brown to a dark pinkish color. Squinting out at the police officer, his flash light and his gun, she'd said, "The just didn't love me enough..." before she dropped her nearly empty bottle of vodka.

The murders had taken place roughly a week and a half ago. Murders that involved children always made the news. Anything involving scandal in high society made print. It was a high stakes case. Bianca's father didn't want to loose his standing due to his daughters rash stupidity. While nothing could erase the taint on the family's reputation, an innocent plea could at least save their standing. Rumors were better than ruin.

The legal library table that Lilith sat in was covered with books that she appeared to be looking through. The firm of Talbert, Hudson, and Kincade had been tapped to represent the case. It wouldn't be easy, but they were one of the top firms in the city. Lilith used the whole thing as an excuse to get out of the office to do research. What everyone else thought was that she'd left to see if a case had ever been tried that involved similar circumstance were the girlfriend had gotten off with a plea of 'temporary insanity due to postpartum depression'. Sure the woman hadn't bore the brats, but that didn't mean that they could drive her crazy.
