Day 10 of Wilson v. Karev and Stevens had the courtroom buzzing with anticipation. The trial had become an international sensation, a mix of legal drama and personal vendetta that blurred the lines between justice and chaos. With each passing day, the stakes grew higher, the accusations messier, and the revelations more shocking. Today promised to be no different, as Alex Karev's defense team appeared ready to escalate their smear campaign against Jo Wilson.

Jo arrived at court with Annalise Keating by her side, her expression stoic but determined. Across the room, Alex Karev sat with Connor Walsh and Izzie Stevens, his face hardened, as if bracing for the inevitable fallout of the day's proceedings.


Judge Martha Wallace entered the room, banging her gavel sharply. "Court is now in session. I expect decorum and focus on the legal matters at hand. Mr. Walsh, you may proceed with your next witness or examination."

Connor Walsh rose smoothly, his smirk firmly in place. "Thank you, Your Honor. Today, the defense will shed light on yet another aspect of Dr. Wilson's behavior that calls her credibility into question. I would like to recall Dr. Alex Karev to the stand."

Alex stood, adjusting his tie, and made his way to the witness stand. After being sworn in, he sat down, his posture rigid but confident.


Connor Walsh's Examination of Alex Karev

Connor approached Alex with calculated precision. "Dr. Karev, over the past nine days, we've heard numerous allegations against you. Today, I'd like to discuss a specific incident involving the plaintiff, Dr. Wilson, that you believe reflects on her professionalism and character. Can you elaborate?"

Alex nodded, his jaw tightening. "Yes. During our marriage, I found out that Jo had an inappropriate relationship with Tanner Courtad."

Connor feigned surprise. "Tanner Courtad? As in the contestant from The Bachelorette Season 20?"

Alex's face darkened. "Yeah, that Tanner Courtad. They hooked up at the hospital morgue while she was on call."

The courtroom erupted in gasps and whispers. Judge Wallace banged her gavel repeatedly. "Order! I will have order in this courtroom!"

Connor waited for silence before continuing. "Dr. Karev, how did you learn about this alleged incident?"

Alex hesitated, his voice bitter. "She admitted it to me after I found some... troubling test results. Tanner gave her an STD."


Annalise Keating's Objection

Annalise shot to her feet, her voice razor-sharp. "Objection, Your Honor! This is a blatant smear campaign and irrelevant to the case at hand."

Connor turned to the judge, his expression calm. "Your Honor, this directly speaks to the plaintiff's credibility and her ability to maintain professional boundaries."

Judge Wallace frowned, clearly exasperated. "Ms. Keating, does your client deny this incident?"

Annalise glanced at Jo, who nodded firmly. "My client categorically denies these allegations, Your Honor."

Judge Wallace sighed. "Overruled. But, Mr. Walsh, I expect you to tread carefully."


Connor Pushes Forward

Connor turned back to Alex. "Dr. Karev, did this revelation affect your trust in Dr. Wilson during your marriage?"

Alex's voice rose slightly, his frustration evident. "Of course it did. I trusted her, and then I find out she's hooking up with some reality TV guy in a morgue of all places? How could I not question everything?"

Connor nodded sympathetically. "And how did this impact your relationship?"

Alex's voice cracked slightly. "It broke something between us. She kept saying it was a mistake, but how do you move past something like that?"


Annalise's Cross-Examination

Annalise Keating wasted no time. She approached Alex with the precision of a scalpel. "Dr. Karev, you've made a serious accusation against my client. Let's talk about evidence. Do you have any proof of this alleged relationship?"

Alex hesitated, his confidence wavering. "She told me herself."

Annalise raised an eyebrow. "So, no emails? No text messages? No witnesses? Just your word?"

Alex's voice hardened. "I know what she told me."

Annalise smirked slightly. "Convenient. Now, let's discuss these supposed 'test results.' Are you a medical expert in diagnosing STDs?"

Connor stood abruptly. "Objection, argumentative."

Judge Wallace nodded. "Sustained. Ms. Keating, rephrase."

Annalise nodded, her tone icy. "Dr. Karev, did you personally verify these alleged test results?"

Alex shifted in his seat. "No. But I saw her medical records."

Annalise's eyes narrowed. "And how did you access her private medical records? Did she give you permission, or did you violate her privacy?"

Connor stood again. "Objection, Your Honor! Irrelevant."

Judge Wallace waved him off. "Overruled. Answer the question, Dr. Karev."

Alex looked visibly uncomfortable. "I didn't violate anything. She left them out, and I saw them."

Annalise stepped closer, her voice dripping with disdain. "So, your entire accusation is based on a supposed admission and a glance at private records you were never authorized to see. Is that correct?"

Alex glared at her but didn't respond.


Jo's Emotional Rebuttal

After a brief recess, Jo Wilson took the stand, her face pale but resolute. Annalise stood beside her, her presence a steadying force.

"Dr. Wilson," Annalise began, her voice gentle but firm. "You've heard Dr. Karev's accusations. Do you deny them?"

Jo's voice trembled slightly but grew stronger as she spoke. "I categorically deny them. I never had a relationship with Tanner Courtad. I never hooked up with him in a morgue, and I've never had an STD."

Annalise nodded. "Why do you think Dr. Karev is making these accusations?"

Jo's voice cracked with emotion. "Because he's desperate. He knows this trial isn't going his way, so he's trying to tear me down in any way he can."

Annalise turned to the jury. "Dr. Wilson, how has this smear campaign affected you?"

Jo's eyes filled with tears, but she refused to break. "It's humiliating. It's bad enough that Alex betrayed me, but now he's dragging my name through the mud to save himself. It's not just untrue—it's cruel."


The Fallout

As Jo stepped down from the stand, the courtroom buzzed with murmurs. Judge Wallace banged her gavel, her frustration clear. "This court will recess for the day. Both parties are reminded to focus on the legal matters at hand when we reconvene tomorrow. Court is adjourned."

The gavel fell, but the tension in the room didn't dissipate. Jo and Annalise left the courtroom with their heads held high, while Alex avoided the media frenzy outside, his face a mask of frustration and exhaustion.


The Media Frenzy

Outside, reporters swarmed, shouting questions and speculating on the latest twist in the trial. Headlines exploded: "Karev Accuses Wilson of Hospital Morgue Scandal!" and "Jo Wilson Denies Shocking Allegations as Trial Heats Up."


The Aftermath

As the day ended, both sides prepared for the next round of legal and personal warfare. The trial had become less about justice and more about survival, with each party willing to go to any lengths to emerge victorious. The world watched, captivated, as Day 10 cemented Wilson v. Karev and Stevens as the messiest, most dramatic court case in recent memory.
