Her boyfriend's case was a huge hit in the country. The judge presumed it could last at least for 67 day in court and it exhausted all of us. His uncle lawyered up heavily. I wondered how much money he was willing to spend from James's inheritance. We fought fiercely and our private investigation team worked tirelessly to dig anything that might incriminate him, something that strip him from his right to James's assets.
