You can tell him I'm looking forward to it, though I can't complain about the liaison. ( before he can take the case, he'll have to speak to her brother. the problem about hearing a lie is that Cashmere will need to know she's telling one to show any of the signs. if she truly believes her brother is innocent, it won't give him any pause; it's Gloss he'll have to meet with to actually know for sure.

and despite the lack of paralegals, or a partner, or something, Matt Murdock still has a tendency of only representing clients that turn out to be innocent. you'd think he'd be a little less particular.

he returns with her coffee, carefully landing a hand on her shoulder with his empty hand before he finds the desk and sets it down. ) Digital works. I have a transcriber. ( though, if he's honest, ) That can wait. Let's start simple, tell me everything you know and we'll go from there. Here, there's... ah, there it is. ( the seat is a little out of place, but he manages to sidle it up to the desk and waits for her to sit down before he circles to his own chair. )

[ she sits and sighs again. everything she knows? where to start? ]

He's not perfect. No one is. And he's made a few mistakes. I know that. But he's not guilty of this. [ that is... not helpful but she's trying to sort her thoughts. give her a moment. ] We've lived in the same neighborhood all our lives. Our neighbors, the Golds, never had any children and in their old age they've need some help around the house, which Gloss did. A few months ago he went over in the morning to mow the lawn and no one answered the door. So he tried calling. No answer. He was worried that something had happened so he forced his way in and found them both dead in the kitchen. He called 911 and when the police showed up, they took him in as a suspect.

He doesn't have much of an alibi. He was home with me and I fell asleep early.

( he' heard about the case, in bits and pieces. hard not to, when it was so high-profile, and so sensationalized. everyone had a theory on why Gloss had suddenly snapped and murdered his elderly neighbors in cold blood; there was nobody really pushing the angle of his innocence. Cashmere is the first dissenter he's heard, and the city has already garnered quite an opinion, despite the fact most of them had no relation to the case whatsoever.

Matt frowns, sorting through the details she had, though they truly weren't much. )

Is there anybody that could have wanted to hurt the Golds? Or Gloss himself? ( it would take quite a vendetta to kill two unrelated people, admittedly,
yet there had to be a reason two people were dead. )

[ her brow furrows in thought, and she shakes her head hesitantly. ]I don't know. Gloss mentioned they had some nephews and nieces who lived far away but I've never seen them visit.

And Gloss has people who don't like him. [ she laughs a little. ] I mean other than everyone in the city who watches late night news. Commit murder to frame him is a little more than thinking he's an ass.

Gloss thinks it was a random. Maybe a burglary gone wrong. The police didn't find any evidence of that, just plenty of evidence that Gloss had spent time in the house.

( Gloss has people who don't like him. Matt offers a half smile. it was nigh impossible to live a life without a few hateful stragglers. especially not someone like Gloss. Cashmere was right and he had heard of their story. they were common names around the city even before the murder conviction, and that had only sensationalized the case further.

which meant it could likely provide much needed exposure if he took the case. Matt really couldn't afford to be picky, Foggy had always been quick to remind him of that, yet even as an army of one running an empty office, he still managed to find reasons not to represent parties he knew to be guilty. )

Hard to say. I'll need to look into the case file to know more, and I won't have access to that unless until I've been declared your brother's legal counsel. ( which offered a good segue to a point he was bound to make sooner or later. ) I'll need to talk to him if he wants my firm to represent him. Personally.
