Wow, lots going on in this one, Barbara! That Pat remains an arrogant sob. Alexandra proved how tough she can be when she is defending her clients. Well done.

Not a problem. If I can help in anyway, let me know. I appreciate your reviewing.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very nicely done. Good plot movement.
I liked the dialogue. But am I to understand that the women will only get $1000 per month, no up front down payment? hmmm.
Best wishes.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
This is the first time I've read one of your chapters - I hate to come in on the middle of a story, but I figured I owed you a read as you have been so kind to me, reading and reviewing my work. I think I can keep reading, based on this chapter, and still not be too much in the dark. I enjoyed this - it felt as though I was overhearing a real conversation, which is a sign of well-written dialogue in a story. Looking forward to more:-)
Just a couple of nits:
Paragraph that begins "I doubt we'll get the full amount . . ." take him to TRIAL, not TRAIL
Cordero ran his hand through HIS short hair instead of THIS short hair.

I had fixed the first one. I am wonder why it didn't take. Hmm, I know I saved it, because it's still saved in an open tab. Oh well, computers. Thank you for the catches, I struggle with the little words. LOL I appreciate the help.
Comment from Sankey
This has got to be one of the best Chapters, so far in your book. The drama you portray is so real. As I have said before, we know these things do happen in real life. Well done. No spags.

Thank you for the kind review. I had a reviewer tell me that this was so far out in left field that he couldn't completely read it. He stopped part way through.
Comment from BethShelby
Ali is a very tough lawyer. It is good thing the Sherriff is willing to do what she asks. HE bluffs paid off. I would be feel very sorry for anyone who get pregnant from a rapist. It is good thing she has supportive parents and in-laws. You have written this chapter so well I'm sure you held everyone attention.

Barbara,
Your story is getting very interesting. The suspense of an impending trial, and a lost pregnant woman are nice touches.
One more, Barbara: in the paragraph starting with, "I doubt we'll get ..." the word trial is misspelled.
Great story.
Blessings,
Cindy

Comment from lancellot
Structurally, your writing and editing are great. I'm afraid I stopped half way through. I think you as they say, "Jumped the shark" too much in this chapter. The reader gets it. Men bad, women super, but wow.
I wish you good luck.
Judge Pickett said, "I enjoyed watching you work."
- I understand why you wrote this. but do you think a judge (a good one) would ever say this?
"You're doing wonderfully.
- What did they do?
"I doubt we'll get the full amount, but I'll take him to {trail} before I accept pennies.
-trial
"I can and just did. I have probable cause because of what I witnessed.
- What???

Pat Rogers is a one man wrecking crew. He just destroying the lives of women right and left. He deserves to be in prison without any power to mess up another woman's life ever. What a piece of work. I am keeping it clean, but that is not what I really want to call him. I love the was Ali is dealing him damaging blow after blow.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Barbara, this was a great chapter and the deal was very well negotiated. But now Lisa is pregnant by the rapist. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to have an abortion. I couldn't bear to carry a child from such a vile man and vile act. It's very well written.
I just found a minor thing:
In (the) hallway
