Frank says: 'Gloria's not in the apartment right now, I'll have to ask her to call you back.' At precisely the same time across town, a woman driving a black Mercedes runs a red light and strikes a young child, killing him. The Mercedes drives off without stopping. An eyewitness is able to read the first three numbers on the license plate, and the police track the car to Gloria, who owns a black Mercedes with the same three numbers on the license plate. Gloria is prosecuted for vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. At trial, Gloria's attorney calls Frank to the stand.
