"Jenny knew Ronnie. Isn't that a conflict of interest?"Matt shook his head. "Not really. Jenny worked for Treacher and Pine, one of the oldest and largest law firms in Chicago. She was a senior associate in the corporate law division. Handled fraud cases, real estate, things like that.""And?""Family court matters are handled by an entirely different set of lawyers over there. They're not even on the same floor, and they don't cross-pollinate.""So no conflict," Hutch said."Not in the court's eyes. But according to the prosecution's theory of events, that didn't keep Ronnie from thinking Jenny had some kind of pull."Hutch waited as Matt took another sip of his beer. "You remember she told us about bumping into Jenny at the Godwyn Theater? Talked about Andy trying to get that screenplay to you?"Hutch nodded."Well, turns out that's not the only thing they talked about. Ronnie brought up the custody case, and apparently Jenny wasn't even aware it existed until Ronnie confronted her.""Confronted?""That's how Jenny's boss characterized it in his witness statement.
