As Ellie walked into the room, Kennedy set her laptop on the table in front of her to prepare taking notes. It was a habit of hers from her lawyer days. She considered herself an excellent note taker. Followed closely behind Ellie was their client. The poor woman looked disheveled. As introductions went on, Kennedy noticed she went in order of seniority. Though she was sure it was unintentional, part of her wondered if that was a subtle reminder that she was the new one of the group and that she had very little sway in this instance. She brushed it off as she noticed Ellie lingered a look at her with a comfortable smile. Perhaps as if to say "I look forward to what you can do." Manny nearly bumped into her and said nothing, continuing to drink his coffee. She rolled her eyes and listened to Ellie as she spoke.
She was determined. She wanted answers and this place was her best bet at finding them. If she could research and learn while also helping others, that was the cherry on top of the supernatural sundae.
Kennedy took notes as Ellis spoke and showed pictures of the crime scene. Having been a criminal lawyer for some odd years she saw various crime scenes before. Some more grisly than poor Cassandra's. She made notes as Ellie spoke, but also various ones she saw in the picture.
Had she listened to this years later, with talk of magic and other supernatural oddities, she probably would have laughed you out or even offered to strike an insanity plea. Now here she was, taking it all in and even believing it. After all, she saw first hand that we are not always the ones in control. It made her shudder a bit thinking about it. Perhaps this case would be a good stepping stone to figuring out what happened in the courtroom.
The facts were laid out for them. Manny made a good point about the boyfriend and Malone about the group. She shared these ideas as well. It was obvious to anyone that you look at close ties in a murder case. "Even if the boyfriend has a solid alibi, if what you are saing actually happened, then he could have been the one to get her to kill herself. I also mimic Malone's ideas about the group as well as her logic behind the suicide. Perhaps the reason she was shot through the eye as a sort of message. There've been countless cases of this. Maybe whoever did it was saying she saw too much and had to be put down. Its an avenue to explore, at least."
She finished up the final notes before she waited for the others to voice their opinion. She didn't want to step on any toes, but she was aiming to prove herself as quickly as possible. This was, most likely, her last chance at answers.
