He Drove the Snakes From Ireland, Does He Do Ex-Friends?

Background Noise: nothing
Random Thought: If true love comes looking for me, I'll be at the espresso machine
Mood: phoghsd
CHICAGO, IL AP: In the wrap up of the trial of Ms. Peters, Billy Flynn took the jury through the night of March 17th. Jurors are still deliberating, but we have Ms. Peters account of the timeframe direct from her Diane Sawyer interview:
Diane: Take me through March 17th.
Barb: Well, after work I went to see V for Vendetta, one of the few things I'd really wanted to do during the week.
Diane: By yourself?
Barb: Of course. My guests had shown that they'd rather hang out with anyone other than me, I just showed that I'd rather see a movie than hang out with them. After the movie got out, I got on the subway and headed up to where they were hanging out with Autumn's friend Natalie at a bar. When I got off the train, I called her to get directions. Four times she said that I had to walk north--so I did. Two miles uptown, I got to the point where I was tired of looking for McGees and tired of trying to hear Autumn while she was in the bar. I called back, told her to go outside and give me the cross streets or I was going home. Turns out, the bar was two blocks south. Cranky, I got into a cab and when down there, only to have to stand in line for 20 minutes to get in.
Diane: Why were you at that particular bar?
Barb: Oh, Natalie said that on Fridays it is $15 for all you can drink 7-11 pm. Apparently, no on stopped to think that an Irish bar wouldn't be offering that deal on St. Patricks day. Luckily, Jeremy the bartender was both hot and quick with the strong drinks. In apology for sending me the wrong way, Betsy bought me a drink and a shot. Of course, as the night went on and we alternated buying rounds, I don't think I came out getting a free drink from her. I did get one from the bartender though, and some nifty shamrock attire. It almost made up for the fact that my coat kept getting knocked on the floor courtesy of Autmn's flailing arms, and subsequently had to be drycleaned.
Diane: How long did you stay?
Barb: I got there about 9, and we left about 11:30. I went home, but Betsy and Autumn went out again. I'm not sure when they got home. It wasn't until I heard all the sirens that I even knew they weren't in the apartment.
