The judge banged his gavel again and reminded sternly, “Please, plaintiff and defendant, mind your emotions.”
Heeding the judge’s advice, both parties simmered down, their anger barely contained.
The judge turned to Nick’s lawyer and inquired, “Counsel for the defense. Do you have anything further to add?”

I’ve already said this has nothing to do with me. Why don’t you wait for Lexi to wake up and explain it to you herself? And really, I was quite composed in there, given how you’re pinning this on me.”
