"And in the matter of the state of Georgia vs. Eleanor Jackson as to the charge of murder in the death of Phil Brooks, we find the defendant guilty as charged. As to the matter of the custody of her son with Mr. Drew McIntyre, there will be a custody hearing in two days. After which, sentencing will be handed down. Court is adjourned." Judge Ross said as he looked down at the young woman who stood there silently, tears streaming down her face. She'd been convicted of murdering her fiancé. She had of course claimed her innocence. But she couldn't remember the details of the night and she'd woken up with the bloody knife in her hand.

Alexandria Jackson looked at her sister and whispered to her. "We will appeal this, Ellie. I will work on it and we will appeal this." Allie, as she was called, couldn't believe this. Her sister was no killer and she had tried her best with the trial but so much evidence made it all the much harder. Now she was going to fight Drew for custody of her sister's son. She wasn't going to let that man raise him.

"Just do me a favor and take care of Finn for me. Don't let Drew get him. Please?" Ellie whispered back in a broken sob. Allie swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded before she leaned forward and gave her sister a hug.

"I promise." Allie said as the guard came over. "I promise to take care of him."

Ellie nodded as the guard put the handcuffs on her and lead her out. Allie sighed and got her things together. She had petitioned the court to become Finn's legal guardian while her sister was in jail. She had been granted temporary custody when Ellie was first arrested. Drew had been given visitations. Now Allie hoped the judge would award her permanent custody.

The guard led Ellie back to the prison van and sat her down on the seat. He shook his head sadly. He didn't believe she'd done anything. Innocent people didn't cry themselves to sleep every night the way she had been. He undid the handcuffs and she smiled sadly at him. "Thanks."

"No problem. I'm Officer Gabriel. I'll be at the front if you need anything." She nodded and stared out the window. Her thoughts on everything especially her son.

Allie sighed as she got her things together and headed out of the court room. She still couldn't believe that Ellie was found guilty.

"Ms. Jackson." The lead detective said as he approached her.

"Yes, Mr. Cena." Allie said.

"I wanted to let you know I'm sorry."

"You help put my sister in jail for something she didn't do and you're sorry."

"I was just going with the evidence and I told that in my statement."

"Yeah you did." Allie sighed. "Mr. Cena, I know my sister didn't kill anyone. That evidence is bullshit. I'm going to find out who really did do this and then you and everyone else will feel so stupid." She turned to go. "Now if you will excuse me, I have to pick up my nephew and get ready for that hearing."

John watched her walk away. He'd felt it in his gut that she hadn't killed anyone either but the facts of the case and the evidence were overwhelming. His superiors had forced his hand and he'd had to arrest her. He looked back at his partner Stephen Farrelly and sighed as the red haired man walked up to him.

"That girl didn't kill her fiancé." He said. Stephen nodded and shook his head.

"I know that. All we have to do now is found out who did."

"Captain will never go for that."

"Then we have to do it on the side." John nodded and they headed out.

Allie arrived at the daycare and got her nephew. She knew Drew had visitation the next day. She was grateful that the judge had agreed to supervise visitation until the final hearing. Drew had to see Finn in her home with a court appointed mediator. Allie had her law partner, Chris Irvine, represent her in the custody hearing. He was one of the best and she had little doubt that she would get custody of Finn. But she was still a little afraid.

She had never liked Drew and that feeling of uneasiness only grew after Ellie had broken up with him while she was pregnant with Finn. They'd gone back and forth over custody for a year or so. And then Ellie had met Phil. He'd been supportive and dedicated himself to helping her retain sole custody of Finn. Until about 9 months before. When a shaky Ellie had called in the middle of the night and told her that Phil was dead and that she'd been arrested for his murder. Allie did everything in her power to get custody of Finn and it worked. She was granted temporary custody. She hated that she couldn't prove her sister's innocence but she wasn't giving up. She would file an appeal the next day when the court opened.

Ellie walked through the prison and followed the guard. She went into her cell and sat down. She took out the picture she had of her, Finn and Phil. She held in her tears. She wished she could go back and be in that moment again. Everything was wonderful. She and Phil were building a life with Finn. Even with Drew fighting her for custody, it had been a happy time.

She looked up as her cellmate, Beth looked down from her bunk. Beth had become a really good friend to her. One of the only ones who believed her innocence. "El?"

"They found me guilty. Sentencing is in two days. They're going to decide who gets Finn then too." Ellie said as she collapsed on the blonde woman's shoulder. "I loved him Beth. I never could have hurt him."

"I know that sweetie." Beth said as she comforted her friend. She looked to make sure the guard wasn't around. "That's why we've got to get you out of here and find out who did."

"What do you mean?" Ellie asked.

"I mean we are getting you out of here and find out who really killed Phil."

"How would I get out of here? I'm not even sentenced yet."

She made sure no one was near. "I'm going to help you break out."

"Are you crazy? If you get caught..."

"Let me worry about that. Nat and I came up with a plan. All you have to do is hide in the laundry. When the truck leaves, you'll be on it. Then when you get out. Find my Adam. He'll help you out. He's a good guy."

"I hope one day, they prove you didn't kill anyone either." Beth smiled.

"I've got someone working on that now." She said.

Allie looked over the files on her sister's case as well as the files on Finn's custody case. Chris had assured her that she would get permanent custody. He had tons of people willing to testify that Drew had no business raising a child and that Allie was the best person to raise Finn. She read over all the testimony from the statements and the evidence. She was missing something. She filled out the petition for the appeal. She would take it all the way to the Supreme Court if she had too. She would prove her sister was innocent.
