Patricia: But Lucy you are so young what about college?
Just as Lucy was about to enter Eric came down with Kris.

Harold (Conner's lawyer) : No Keisha: on the night of the alleged Rape you willing went with Mr. Bailey to the park..
Keisha: yes sir
Harold: Now tell the court the truth about the rape you came onto Mr. Bailey first..
Keisha: no sir.
Harold: Keisha, did you have any test run after that rape?
Keisha: not right after because I was scared but I have a pregnancy test ran about 2 weeks ago..
Harold: and the results were?
Keisha: negative I am not pregnant.
Kevin let a sigh of relief..
The prosecution went on trying to break down Keisha for about 1 hour.But Keisha did not budge from her story.
The prosecution turn was next and called Connor Bailey. Once Connor got on the witness stand he couldn't take the pressure and broke down and confessed to everything.
The jury and court were dismissed after Connor confessed to everything.
Kevin called Lucy and told her everything.
Kevin: Hey Lucy
Lucy: hey babe how's the trial?
Kevin: good Connor confessed to everything once he got on the witness stand..
Lucy: really?
Kevin: yeah and Keisha is not pregnant.. How are you..
Lucy: I am fine I went for a walk and ran into Andrew
Kevin: Andrew?
Lucy: Andrew Nayloss
Kevin: oh the girly man that you told me about..
Lucy: yeah
Kevin: what did he want?
Lucy: nothing.. He was kind of shocked that I was married and had a kid.
Kevin: oh well.. Oh honey I got to go they just came with the sentencing
Lucy: ok bye bye.
Kevin: bye bye
Kevin and Keisha went back into the courtroom.
Judge: Mr. Bailey please stand
Connor stood up and looked at the judge..
Judge: Mr. Bailey,, I have know idea why you would do this to a young lady but I am sentencing you to 20 years in prison for one count of rape.15 years for one count of felony kidnapping and 5 years for one count of attempted murder.. You will be set for parole in 2015 I hope this gives you plenty of time to think about what you did. COURT IS DISMISSED.
