The Assistant Coroner (should that be Assistant Medical Examiner?) was paid only $10K to falsify the documents? THAT was the bribe? OH PUH-LEEZE! He had to be in REALLY desperate financial straits to put everything on the line for a measly $10K -- you can't even get a new car for that!

It doesn't MATTER if Greenlee was at the center of part of the case against David. It wasn't ABOUT whether or not she lived, it was about David falsifying records and bribing an official. Her testimony would have NOTHING to do with those charges unless she wanted to testify as a character witness during the SENTENCING phase after a verdict had been reached.

Then Liza begs the judge for just FIVE MINUTES alone with Greenlee. The judge says no. Again, WTF? Someone just barges on into court, DEMANDS to be allowed to testify, and no one knows what she's going to say and the judge just goes with it and doesn't allow the lawyers to get even a CLUE as to what she's going to say? What is this, Perry Mason? IOAS, IOAS, IOAS ...

And THEN Liza says that, in light of the new developments, the defense rests. WTF? No one even QUESTIONED Greenlee! There is no proof whatsoever to what she said, and, again, KENDALL has nothing to do with the charges against David. And even with all that said, had Greenlee's testimony been in any way shape or form admissible in the first place, then Liza should not have RESTED -- she should have asked that the charges relating to covering up Greenlee's death be dropped. As it stands, the jury can still decide if David is guilty or not guilty. If the charges are dropped, the jury only has to decide on the Adam issue. he DA should also have objected or called for a mistrial. Greenlee is CLEARLY there out of spite, after all AND she is married to the defendant. That calls for some in-depth examination as to her motives for being there, but the DA didn't make a peep. IOAS, IOAS, IOAS.

Annie is married to a billionaire who has a limo driver at his disposal, and they live in a big mansion with a crack [snort!] security team, servants, etc., but little Emma STILL has to fend for herself at a bus stop for school?

Okay, that passing out thing Zach did was just plain EMBARRASSING -- WAY too soap girly! Please tell me he was faking it! He WASN'T? I wouldn't include THAT in an Emmy Reel if I were Thorston Kaye.

Does Rob The Architect remind anyone else of a slightly melted Ken doll?

Liza informs Tad that if the blackmail pictures David provided to her of the D.A. in bed with a judge were ever to go public, the D.A. would lose his job. Tad points out that, in turn, LIZA could get HIS job. Oh PUH-LEEZE! She hasn't even BEEN a lawyer for very long and that's not a job that someone from the private sector generally just jumps into. Did Liza even INTERN in a D.A.'s office? Did she intern in ANYONE'S office? Her own shady past ALONE would preclude her from getting the job. IOAS, IOAS, IOAS ...

I see now that that is definitely the same little actor(s) playing Junior Junior. He DID have an impressive growth spurt, though, and he's talking more clearly and assertively.

The court announces that they are there as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs Annie Chandler. No you aren't, you ignorant TWIT! It's the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs Anne _____ Chandler, with the possibility of her maiden name, first married name and second married name thrown in for good measure. Unless "Annie" is the name on her birth certificate, with no middle name, that is NOT her legal name.

What a LOUSY judge. The DA is screaming objections and the judge COMPLETELY ignores them. Objections are on the record. They MUST be dealt with, one way or another. That's how appeals are won or lost. Then Annie and Erica get into an Objection fight. It goes on for a while and all the judge does is lamely bang his gavel ... eventually. Then the DA objects to questions Annie is asking Erica. The judge does not respond. So far, the only objection the judge has responded to is the one Annie made that had no foundation and he lectured her on that fact. Pathetic!

It's interesting that Adam, who was on trial for MURDERING his brother, had a trial that lasted mere minutes with hardly any witnesses, yet Annie, who is merely charged with covering it up, has LOTS of witnesses. Has ANYONE mentioned any actual EVIDENCE? You know, dead bodies, DNA, trajectories, phone records, medical and police records, stuff like that? The OPINIONS of other people regarding the cover-up are just that -- opinions, and irrelevant ones at that. The opinions of lay people have no place in the courtroom. It doesn't matter if they want her to fry, other than how it might be used to discredit their testimony as being prejudiced. The ONLY question is whether or not she did it. The consequences are up to the law and the judge. In any case, this should not have been a matter to even go TO trial -- it should have been pled out in the first place.

That's a really STUPID gag in Kendall's mouth. You'd think that Aidan, Mr. Sooper Sekret Special Forces Espionage Agent and all-round street-smart guy (insert image of eyeballs rolling so hard they pop out the sides, bounce around the room and land back in the sockets, only to roll some more) would know how to tape someone's mouth shut. That's the kind of gag someone buys in a costume shop and it looks like she could dislodge it by clearing her throat. In fact, she doesn't even have to do THAT. Her upper lip was sticking OUT of it, FGS!

I thought it was hilarious when Aidan told Kendall: "You know what? I caunt understand what you're saying." ROTFLMAO, considering that even after all this time, few people can understand what HE'S saying most of the time.

Damn, these trials are SOOOOO STUPID! Annie asks for a summary dismissal and it's granted without any grounds even being given. I know, I know, it's only a soap (chant, Robin, chant: IOAS-IOAS-IOAS), but one can only suspend disbelief just so much!

For someone who was in a hospital bed just this morning, Annie is amazingly energetic and bouncy. Of course, she was that most of the time past that first day of hemorrhaging (You ever try to spell that word? It's not as easy as you might think).
