Miss Windham, what had you done earlier that day? I got up, got a latte, went to the gym, got a perm and came home. Where you got in the shower?
I believe the witness has made it clear that she was in the shower. Yes, Your Honor. Miss Windham.
. . Had you ever gotten a perm before?
Yes. How many would you say? Two a year since I was twelve.
You do the math. You know, a girl in my sorority, Tracy Marcinko, 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.
Objection! Why is this relevant? I have a point.
I promise! Then make it. Yes ma'am.
Umm. . .
Chutney, why is it that Tracy Marcinko's curls were ruined when she got hosed down? 'Cause they got wet? Exactly.
Because isn't it the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you're forbidden to wet your hair. . .
For at least twenty-four hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate? Yes. 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've had to have found Mr.
Windham with a gun in her hand to make your story plausible. Isn't that right? She's my age!
Did she tell you that? How would you feel if your father married someone who was your age? You, however, had time to hide the gun, didn't you Chutney?
After you shot your father. I didn't mean to shoot him! I thought it was you walking through the door!
Order! Order! Order!
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!
Bailiff, take the witness into custody where she will be charged for the murder of Hayworth Windham. In the matter of the State versus Brooke Windham. .
. This case is dismissed. Mr.
Windham, you're free to go. Yes! Thank you!
Elle, how do you know that Chutney was lying? "Cause she's brilliant, of course! The rules of hair care are simple and finite!
Any cosmo girl would have known!
