Elle:Ms. Windham, what had you done earlier that day?Chutney Windham:I got up, got a latte, went to the gym, got a perm, and came home.Elle: Where you got in the shower?The Honorable Marina R. Bickford:I believe the witness has made it clear that she was in the shower.Elle:Yes, your Honor. Ms. Windham, had you ever gotten a perm before?Chutney Windham:Yes.Elle:How many, would you say?Chutney Windham:Two a year since I was 12. You do the math.Elle: You know, a girl in my sorority, Tracy Marcinco, got a perm once. We all tried to talk her out of it. Curls weren't a good look for her. She didn't have your bone structure. But thankfully, that same day, she entered the Beta Delta Pi wet t-shirt contest, where she was completely hosed down from head to toe...DA Joyce Rafferty:Objection, why is this relevant?Elle:Oh, I have a point, I promise.The Honorable Marina R. Bickford:Then make it.Elle:Yes, ma'am. Chutney, why is it Tracy Marcinco's curls were ruined when she got hosed down?Chutney Windham:Because they got wet.Elle:Exactly. Because isn't the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate?Chutney Windham: Uh... y-yes.Elle: And wouldn't somebody who's had, say, thirty perms before in their life be well aware of this rule? And if, in fact, you weren't washing your hair, as I suspect you weren't because your curls are still intact, wouldn't you have heard the gunshot? And if, in fact, you had heard the gunshot, Brooke Windham wouldn't have had time to hide the gun before you got downstairs. Which would mean that you would have had to found Mrs. Windham with a gun in her hand to make your story plausible, isn't that right?Chutney Windham: She's my age! Did she tell you that? How would you feel if your father married someone who was your age?Elle:You, however, had time to hide the gun, didn't you, Chutney? After you shot your father.Chutney Windham: I didn't mean to shoot him!Chutney Windham:I thought it was YOU walking through the door!The Honorable Marina R. Bickford: Order! Order! Order!Elle: Oh My God!Brooke: Oh My God!The Honorable Marina R. Bickford: Oh my God.The Honorable Marina R. Bickford:Bailiff, take the witness into custody, where she will be charged for the murder of Heyworth Windham. In the matter of The State vs. Brooke Windham, this case is dismissed.The Honorable Marina R. Bickford:Mrs. Windham, you are free to go.Brooke: Thank you!

went to the gym got a perm and came home
00:00:13.096 --> 00:00:16.167
Where you got in the shower
00:00:16.088 --> 00:00:21.044
I believe the witness has made it clear that she was in the shower
00:00:21.002 --> 00:00:23.487
all chuckling
00:00:27.016 --> 00:00:28.969
Yes Your Honor
00:00:29.012 --> 00:00:32.727
Ms Windham had you ever gotten a perm before
00:00:33.016 --> 00:00:36.013
Yes How many would you say
00:00:37.024 --> 00:00:39.481
Two a year since I was 12
00:00:40.028 --> 00:00:41.691
You do the math
00:00:42.056 --> 00:00:45.689
You know a girl in my sorority Tracy Marcinko got a perm once
00:00:45.088 --> 00:00:49.999
We all tried to talk her out of it Curls weren't a good look for her
00:00:49.064 --> 00:00:51.021
She didn't have your bone structure
00:00:51.036 --> 00:00:52.361
Aww
00:00:52.052 --> 00:00:54.841
But thankfully that same day
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.024
she entered the Beta Delta Pi wet T shirt contest
00:00:57.016 --> 00:00:59.001
where she was completely hosed down from head to toe
00:00:59.016 --> 00:01:02.013
Objection Why is this relevant
00:01:02.028 --> 00:01:05.001
I have a point I promise Then make it
00:01:06.002 --> 00:01:07.999
Yes ma'am
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:12.286
Chutney why were Tracy Marcinko's curls ruined when she got hosed down
00:01:14.006 --> 00:01:15.929
Because they got wet Exactly
00:01:16.012 --> 00:01:18.691
Because isn't it the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance
00:01:18.084 --> 00:01:21.997
that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours
00:01:21.002 --> 00:01:23.001
after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating
00:01:23.999 --> 00:01:27.045
the ammonium thioglycolate Yes
00:01:27.999 --> 00:01:30.729
And wouldn't somebody who's had say 30 perms before in their life
00:01:30.088 --> 00:01:32.001
be well aware of this rule
00:01:33.006 --> 00:01:35.001
And if you weren't washing your hair as I suspect you weren't
00:01:36.998 --> 00:01:39.289
because your curls are still intact wouldn't you have heard the gunshot
00:01:39.044 --> 00:01:42.994
And if in fact you had heard the gunshot Brooke Windham
00:01:42.999 --> 00:01:45.244
wouldn't have had time to hide the gun before you got downstairs
00:01:45.044 --> 00:01:48.125
which would mean that you would've had to have found Mrs Windham
00:01:48.999 --> 00:01:51.001
with a gun in her hand to make your story plausible Isn't that right
00:01:51.999 --> 00:01:54.327
She's my age did she tell you that
00:01:54.048 --> 00:01:56.801
How would you feel if your father married someone your age
00:01:56.999 --> 00:01:59.486
You however had time to hide the gun didn't you Chutney
00:01:59.064 --> 00:02:02.012
After you shot your father I didn't mean to shoot him
00:02:02.028 --> 00:02:04.999
I thought it was you walking through the door
00:02:04.064 --> 00:02:06.608
crowd exclaiming
00:02:07.084 --> 00:02:11.001
Order Order Order
00:02:12.088 --> 00:02:15.001
Oh my God Oh my God
00:02:15.028 --> 00:02:17.999
Oh my God
00:02:18.084 --> 00:02:20.999
Bailiff take the witness into custody
00:02:21.012 --> 00:02:24.249
where she will be charged for the murder of Heyworth Windham
00:02:25.013 --> 00:02:27.001
In the matter of The State v Brooke Windham
00:02:27.084 --> 00:02:29.524
this case is dismissed
00:02:29.001 --> 00:02:31.762
