Chapter 11

"You know, if you wanted my DNA I do believe I could have found another way to give it to you." Mr. Platt said looking at Eames and grinning.

"Adam!" His lawyer cautioned. "Shh!"

Goren felt himself get heated when he said that but Eames didn't give him the opportunity to act reminding him why he felt the way he did about her. He smiled inwardly when Eames looked at Mr. Platt and said, "Even if you were the last man on Earth, there is no way that I'd let you get close enough to leave your DNA anywhere around me."

Mr. Platt looked like he'd just been slapped in the face.

"Mr. Platt, why didn't you tell us that you called Samantha's cell phone at 9:18 the night she was murdered?" Detective Goren asked sitting down next to Detective Eames.

"Because I didn't think it was important." Mr. Platt scoffed.

"You didn't think it was important to tell us that you called an ADA, that just happened to be on the other side of the court room from you, the night that she was murdered?!" Goren asked.

"Well at the time she was missing. How was I supposed to know that she was murdered?" Mr. Platt asked.

"Because you killed her." Eames stated.

"You've got to be kidding me. You can't put his client behind bars on the case he's currently trying in court so you're trying to put him away for defending him. I bet Mr. Branch is getting off on this." Mr. Platt's lawyer said.

"So what did you wanna talk to her about?" Goren asked getting up to wander about the room.

"It was about the case. Other than that I can't divulge any more." Platt said.

"Did you and Samantha ever date?" Eames asked Platt.

"That's none of your business!" He scoffed.

"I'll take that as a yes." Eames commented. "Wanna know what I think happened?" Eames asked while looking up at Goren to make sure that it was ok to lay the cards out on the table. He looked at her with the glisten in his eyes that said go for it. "I think you got pissed at her because she stood you up at 6 to discuss a plea. So you waited a while, got steamed up instead of cooled off and called her at 9:18. You told her it was an emergency. Something about your case I assume and that it couldn't wait." She paused to look at Platt who seemed to be taking in every word. "She goes to her apartment to get some of her files to take to meet you. What she doesn't know is that you were lying in wait for her. We found your fingerprints on the base floorboard of the wall in a very awkward spot to have just grazed against." Platt raised his eyebrows up.

At this point Goren took over by just glancing over at Eames using their way of communicating to each other. "So when she came home, you jumped her. You proceeded to rape her, my personal guess is to frame someone else ... your client perhaps? Then afterwards you took your pocket knife and cut her to torture her, for whatever the reason you'll have to tell me. Then when you were tired of playing with her, you strangled her. You took her in her own car and threw her into the woods in a shallow grave. You then ditched the car and came back and acted like nothing ever happened and showed up to court the next morning."

At this point Mr. Platt started laughing. "That's a great story detective. Too bad you'll never be able to prove any of it."

Goren and Eames looked at each other and grinned. Goren sat down, opened his folder then pulled out some pictures. "We have your fingerprints on the base board, we have your lighter at the crime scene with your fingerprints on it, the car's driver seat is in the position for someone of your height." Eames then added, "your DNA matches the semen inside of her and the drop of blood we found near the first wound when you cut yourself when you stabbed her." Eames nodded at the band-aid on his hand. "You know, for a defense attorney, a person would have thought you'd know how to cover your tracks better than that."

That comment sent Mr. Platt over the edge. "That little bitch refused and refused to accept the plea. My client doesn't need to get the needle. No one does, but NOOOO she's gotta continue her persecution." At this point his lawyer tried to shut him up but he continued anyway. "When she got to the apartment I jumped her, and yes detective I was going to frame a friend of my client that has a history of intimidating witnesses. I was wearing a mask so I doubt she knew it was me until after I had finished. When I first attacked her I made her swallow some wine with Rohipnol in it to subdue her. As I was giving it to her like she deserved, she somehow managed to grab my mask. Evidently I didn't have her swallow enough of the drug. Since she saw my face I had to stab her. I did use my pocket knife. I ditched it afterwards. When I realized that it was indeed hard to stab someone, I just strangled her." The room was silent for a minute. "If only should would have taken the deal ... if only she wouldn't have taken the mask off of my face she'd be alive."

"Her only mistake Mr. Platt is meeting you." Eames said as her and Goren got up to leave.
