    Author Notes:

    Chapters 1 & 2

    "I have the digital file, but I have to make sure she didn’t say anything off the record before I let you listen," Alice replied. "Do you think it’s going to give you some kind of advantage in facing her in court?"
    "You never know," Bette replied. 
    "And what scumbag are you trying to defend this week?" Alice asked.
    "It’s an embezzlement case," Bette replied. "And my client will be found not guilty."
    "Whether or not he did it," Alice added.
    "It’s how our justice system works," Bette replied. "The onus is on her to prove his guilt."
    "The onus is on the state to prove his guilt," Alice said. "Why do you always take on the prosecutor as if it was a personal vendetta?"
    "I’m defending our constitution," Bette replied.
    "You’re defending a lot of guilty people," Alice countered. "But whatever helps you sleep."
    "Better that 10 guilty men go free than one innocent suffer," Bette replied.
    "That’s a quote; where’s that from?"
    "The Blackstone principle," Bette replied. "The basis of criminal law in Western civilization."
    "Sometimes I think a few more guilty people could stand to suffer," Alice said. 
    "But in the meantime, I have the responsibility and privilege of defending them," Bette said. "And Tina is my current adversary."
    Alice shook her head as she stood from the table in preparation to leave. She tossed a few bills on the table to cover her portion of the tab.
    "You’ll check that file?" Bette asked.
    "Yes, I’ll check when I get home," Alice said. "It’s on my laptop."
    "If it’s short you can email it to me," Bette said. "Otherwise I’ll have a courier pick up a disc."
    "What could make it that important?" Alice asked.
    "Doing my best for my client," Bette explained.
    And she was loathe to admit – more than a little curious about Tina Kennard.
    ***********
    "Good morning counsellor," Bette greeted Tina after setting her briefcase on the defense table.
    "Good morning," Tina replied. Strictly professional. That’s the only way to deal with Bette Porter.
    "Lovely day for a trial," Bette offered. "The sun is shining; the birds are singing."

    6. Fantastic!!! Just write to your hearts’ content and then more. Loved this version as well and who knows what will happen. Will this end up being published, sure hope so. Just keep writing dear, we’ll read.

    13. Wow, I didn’t know this was your story. I loved the last one. This one looks like it’s going to be great too. Tina seems a lot more self assured and appears to be hard to impress. Bette has her work cut out for her.

    15. I loved the original and im loving this version, as well. I must admit i didnt know it was you. Although, i was curious by the cryptic authors note. However, i decided there was some reasoning on your part to remain anonymous. It definitely added to the mystique. Thanks and im looking forward to seeing where you take this.

    18. I thought that might have been you! Does that sound creepy, I don’t even know you? Lol. It is not meant to be, more a testament to your unique, impressionable, and powerful writer voice. Will always read anything you write. Looking forward to more.

    23. You wrote “Held in Contempt?” WOW. You’re such a good and prolific storyteller. I wonder what’s the incentive for using an alias? Well, this version looks promising and I like the new twists. I trust that you’ll keep us interested and entertained. =) And though I may not have the chance to visit the site, read your posts and other unique stories and comment as often as I want to, please remember that I heart your body of work and your generous spirit. May your Muse never cease to inspire you! Many thanks for another gem of a story, jks. Cheers! =)

    27. Oh i can’t wait to finally read this I’ve heard so much about this fic tibette cute flirty and in love all while opposing lawyers.
