Nothing about the trial made any sense that Lawless was taking the rap for his best friend Joe Moralis and what made even less sense was that the lawyer defending him was Joe’s brother.

He had received a call that afternoon from her saying that if her necklace wasn't returned by that same afternoon, she was going to call the police and he would be closed down. Sam agreed, but when he got to her house to give her the necklace, she was already wearing the exact same one…

They have no evidence but they just want Sam to prove that their suspicions are correct. Glorie Thomas is Miss Elizabeth Collie's assistant, and also the one under surveillance by Sam. She has done nothing to make anyone think that she is the thief, and has had none of the stolen items recovered from her possession. There is no evidence at all to support Miss Ursula and Miss Elizabeth's claim, so why are they so insistent?
