"Hey," Elle said, "Emmett look at this"
Emmett came over to Elle's side.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Judge Payton is retiring," she said, "The judges committee is taking applications to replace her."
"Really," Emmett said sitting down next to Elle.
"You know... I should apply," Elle said, "I know I won't get accepted but-"
"Excuse me," Emmett said, "Don't talk like that. You have more of a chance of being accepted then anyone else.
"Don't you mean as much of a chance?"
"Hm... who won her first trial when she was just a law student?"
((Flashback))
"Ms. Windom what did you do the day your father was killed before you got into your shower."
"Went out had breakfast got a perm-"
"But then you went in the shower," Elle said
"Right. I stepped into the shower. I took a shower."
"Is this the first perm you ever got Ms. Windom?"
"No," Chutney said, "I've had them 3 times a year since I was twelve"
"But you took a shower," Elle said
"Yes"
"and you didn't hear the gunshot because you were... in the shower-"
"Mrs. Woods," the judge said, "I think the witnessed has already established that she was in the shower."
"You know a friend of mine... Enid Hoops just got a perm today," Elle said, "Enid could you come up here?"
Enid came up to the front.
"Do me a favor," Elle said, "Dump this bucket of water over your head."
"Why," Enid asked
"Please just do it," Elle asked.
Enid sighed
"But before we do this," Elle said, "I just want to establish one more time that you were-"
"IN THE SHOWER," everyone yelled.
"Wait," Chutney said, "Enid can't dump the water over her head. It will ruin her perm"
"EXACTLY! EVERYONE WHO'S HAD THREE PERMS A YEAR SINCE THEY WERE TWELVE WOULD KNOW THAT THE FIRST CARDNAL RULE OF THE PERM IS YOU CAN'T GET YOUR HAIR WET. IT DEACTIVES THE PERM THEREFORE YOU COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOWER"
Chutney's case fell apart from there.
((End of flashback))
"But Chutney got out on a pleas of insanity," Elle said.
"Well she is insane" Emmett said, "Come on. I'll help you fill out the application"
