Laura Owens

She needs to show up and fight her case.

You can't file something and then decide at the last minute you don't want it.

This is where the fight is, Laura.

You should have shown up.

You wanted it.

Where's your evidence?

She says she has evidence.

So come and make your case in front of Judge Gold.

When we got there that morning, we were all waiting in the hallway.

Me, Clayton, Mike, Danielle, and Mike's legal team.

Besides us, there were 20 or 30 people packed into the hallway.

And the demographic of supporters was surprisingly diverse.

Young people, older people, men and women...

The hearing was supposed to start at 9 a.m., but 9 a.m.

came and went, and the doors didn't open.

The group started to become tense.

No one knew what was going on.

At around 9.30 a.m., the bailiff finally opened the doors, but only allowed Mike and Omar to enter the courtroom.

Everyone looked confused.
