When Sarah and Tim came back to New York, they were relieved to learn that it was all over.

Both of their father's were in jail, and the police were able to obtain a copy of Sarah's grandfather's will.

He had left her 15 million dollars to be held in trust until she reached the age of 25 (or emancipation, whichever came first.)

In July, the money would be hers; hence, her father's attempt to have her married. They thought they'd be able to get the money from right under her nose.

"I don't even know what to do with myself now."

"I'd hire a financial planner," Alex told her.

Casey snorted. "It was a rhetorical statement, Alexandra."

"Shut up … Cassandra."

"Don't call me that!"

"Try and stop me!"

Sarah was now a free woman. "I can't thank you enough."

"Any time."

The newly fledged couple decided to go back to Minnesota. Tim liked it there, and his boss said his job was still there for him.

Alex had spent most of her rebuttal case trying to disprove that Jessica had battered person's syndrome. She could have challenged the validity of the syndrome itself, but she did not want to make it look like the cruel state doesn't care about the plight of victims of domestic violence. Alex cared very much about their plight; she just didn't think Jessica was ever a victim.

Her rebuttal case took all of Monday and half of Tuesday. Then it was closing statements.

At 3PM, the jury got the case and they kept it until Friday afternoon.

Alex was about to go home for the weekend when she got the call.

"The jury has reached a decision in the Smith-Adams case!"

The media lined up on the steps, everyone hoping for a statmenet no matter what the outcome.

"All Rise."

Everyone stood up as Judge Petrovsky entered.

"You may now be seated."

"Has the jury reached a verdict?"

"Yes your honor," the foreman stated. He handed the ballot to the bench.

She read it to herself.

"On the sole charge, how does the jury find?"

"On the sole charge, murder in the first degree, the jury finds the defendant … guilty."

Gasps filled the room as the verdict came out.

The media was all over it.

"Alleged battered wife convicted of murder in the first."

"The jury did not accept her battered person's syndrome defense."

"In the battle of Prada vs. Gucci, Prada won."

"Bureau Chief Cabot, do you have any words?"

"The Devil Wears Prada," she said with a smile as she walked out. She'd let them try to figure out what that statement meant.

Adam was released from the hospital and transferred to Riker's Island. He faced two counts of premeditated murder and two counts of attempted murder.

"Do you think he's competent to stand trial?" Casey asked Dr. Wong after the defendant had undergone his 730 exam.

"He's understands the charges against him and he is capable of discussing the issues of his case, but the bigger question is what was his mental state at the time of the killings?"

He claimed to have been suffering from demonic possession.

"Do you think the devil made him do it?"

"I do think he needs someone to blame for what he did. He seems very emotionally stunted." For some reason, Adam never grew up to be a normal adult who can come to terms with rejection.

Quinn wouldn't accept him as a mate, so he tried to kill the harem of which she was a member.

After a week, Olivia was able to return to desk duty, but she still didn't have her gun.

"This sucks!"

She'd rather be at home watching Ren and Stimpy than doing everyone else's DD5s.

Supposedly, the investigation was almost over. Cassidy Beta had done everything he could from scrutinizing the gunpowder residue results to the blood pattern spatters to show it was self defense.

Now, Olivia just had to wait until the internal investigation was complete.
