perform the postmortem so no forensic clues were overlooked."

As Peabody sat down, Cutter read his ruling from a page of prejudged reasons.

"In exercising my discretion under Section 680 of the Code, the test I put to myself is might this Court reverse Chief Justice Hatchett's order to detain? The applicant has shown a penchant to undermine the rule of law. If released, he may try again. My answer's 'No' to the test, so the applicant will remain in custody until his trial."

Cutter got up and wheezed out.

A railing separated The Pit from the gallery. Gill blocked the swing gate as Lyndon Wilde, smirking with triumph, left the arena.

"How dare you!" Gill snarled. "What was that May/ December crap about?"

"It's called Knowing Your Judge, Lady Macbeth. Any hint of 'perversion,' and the CJ closes what passes for his mind."

"This may be a game to you, but it's Nick Craven's freedom and my reputation. My professional integrity is paramount to—"

"What's paramount to you is some stud between your legs. I've seen your type before," Wilde said with hard contempt. "The professional whore. The woman who can't keep her cunt out of the job. The female lawyer smitten by a rogue of a client, who smuggles in a gun and busts him out to get boned. How'd you bed Craven? On the job? Shove your 'professional integrity.' I see through you like glass."

"Is this how you relate to all women?" Gill asked.

"Just professional bimbos who put on the act. Grow up, Doctor. If Sir Walter Raleigh is dead, expect wet feet."

"You slandered me in your submission, and now you slander me here. You better hope I'm not recording what you say."

"Take a look around. You're standing in a court. A tape recorder here will run your ass out of town. Which is what I'll do if you mess with my case. A game it is, Doctor, and I'm the best. Play with me, and I'll chew you up and spit you out."
