Background Noise: The sound of my sanity flying away
Random Thought: There should be shirts, if Winona got 'em, I want one
Mood: Hmpfh
CHICAGO, IL: AP Opening statements were heard in what is being called the trial of the century here in Cook County. Upstanding citizen and reported Saint (though these allegation have yet to be proven) Barb Peters is on trial for double homicide after reportedly plotting the murder of Autumn Hurst and Betsy Marmol, who were at the time of their death staying with their alledged killer. The Prosecution layed out the groundwork for their case, highlighting the premeditative nature of the crime--that Ms. Peters had been getting angrier and angrier at her houseguests as their week-long stay wore on and that she intentionally left the two at the bar knowing full well that they would come home drunk anc confused. Assistant District Attourney Harrison alledges that she called a locksmith to change her locks while she was home alone and then went to sleep, knowing full well the danders that awaited Ms. Hurst and Ms. Marmol when they attempted to enter the apartment building. For the Defense, Billy Flynn stated that he intendes to lay out how the antics of Ms. Hurst and Ms. Marmol throughout the week promted his client to change her locks out of frustration. Flynn claims that the only intention Ms. Peters had was to make them call her for their things and get a hotel near the airport so they could leave the next day. While he admits that any death is a tragedy, Flynn declared that after the evidence is given you will think that plotting the deaths of the two vicitims will seem reasonable. Not that his client did that, of course. Ms. Peters has been released on bail and is currently staying at the W Chicago while her apartment is disinfected. Mr. Flynn promises the particulars of that move once evidence begins tomorrow.
