"Enough time has passed. David I can boldly tell you that the Lawyer was sick to her stomach for what she did but that's the job. Our duty is to the Law Equity Fairness and our Clients. Your son's death is painful but it's relevant and helps boost the case of the Defence (Sophia Momodu). I know the hurt is a lot but the lawyer was doing her job. My honest question to you is this if the roles were reversed would you still hold this position Finally you didn't beat the Lawyer at any time. She used one of the tricks of cross-examination luring you into a false sense of victory/assurance before"
