Locked Up 20
"In what way?"
"She was a woman struggling to deal with the gravity of the situation in which she found herself. Instead of having a violent and vindictive character, she is in fact a very even tempered and intelligent woman"
"Yet members of the prosecution have gone out of their way to prove her to be an angry individual who poses great threat to the public. What would you say to that?" Claire asked.
"I’d say they’ve obviously never spoken properly with her. Nikki is one of the gentlest women that I’ve ever worked with. Within the prison environment she acts like a mother figure to many of the younger women. She’s a credit to herself and those that know her, and I genuinely believe that she poses no threat to the public. She is full of remorse for what she did, but people need to understand the circumstances behind what happened. She’s not some cold blooded killer. What she said that night was in the heat of the moment. All she was doing was protecting someone that she loved"
"Objection!" called the CPS lawyer "The witness is making suppositions as to the defendant’s intentions that night"
"Sustained" said the Judge firmly "Miss Stewart, if you could please keep your answers to the facts"
"I’m sorry your honour" Helen apologised.
"Continue Miss Burke" the Judge nodded to Claire.
"Miss Stewart, I’d like you please to tell the court about Miss Wade’s development whilst in prison"
"I’d say she’s one of our prison systems success stories. She took every opportunity that was given to her, particularly with regard to education. She refused to just rot away in jail, instead she grabbed everything that was offered to her with both hands"
"And what do you think would happen if Miss Wade was released?"
"I believe she would fit herself back into society. Nikki has a lot to offer. And her chances of reoffending are no greater than yours or mine"
"Thank you Miss Stewart. No further questions your honour" Claire said as she sat down.
Nikki squeezed her hands tightly together as the prosecution rose to cross-examine Helen. Silently she prayed that her lover wouldn’t fold under the pressure. She had every faith in the small Scot, but didn’t have a good experience of prosecution lawyers, so was understandably nervous.

Alright so glad to see Nikki is free and now is Bette turn. Please more, thanks!
We got Bette,Alice and Shane. so glad that Nikki is free, thanks
i really loved that episode in season 3 when Nikki was released….now, let’s see what Bette is going to do
We truly enjoyed this chapter. Nikki’s release was certainly good news and brings hope for Bette to appeal. Tina will certainly find a way to encourage Bette to do that. We never had the chance to watch the show as it was never broadcasted in Mexico, but your story has certainly hooked us. Thanks for sharing it with us. PPS Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
Alright, Nikki is a free woman. What is Bette hiding from and why does she fear finding out who set her up and why? What now happens to Nikki and Helen?

Glad that Nikki is released…I don’t watch the real show but I am enjoying your story. pps
