-Mimi is on the stand. Her lawyer asks her if she pushed Cassie, Mimi says no. She asks where she was when Cassie was pushed, Mimi then replied that she was just walking into the loft. The lawyer then asks how her ear ring fell off, Mimi says it fell off right before she went into the loft, so when she put it back on she was loose. She says the reason she was scene at the crime scene was because she was the one who found Cassie, and that was when her ear ring fell off. The lawyer then asks what about the clothes, Mimi says she and Cassie had a fight earlier, because Cassie was persistence in keeping her away from Rex, and that was exactly why she tried to frame her!

-The district attorney asks Mimi if she conspired against Belle Black Kiriakis and Shawn Brady to keep the paternity, Mmi’s lawyer objects to it not being relevant, the DA says this will prove relevance once he continues, Judge Fitzpatrick lets the DA continue. Mimi sadly says she did, then the DA asks the jury why should they believe her when she is also manipulative, he then asks if she had an abortion of her baby with the victim’s brother and kept it from him. She says yes, the DA then says no further questions, because it is obvious no one can believe a word out of her mouth so she did push Cassie out the window.
