Judge Lena Petrovsky : [after Katie begins to imitate sexual moans and groans] That's enough, Katie.
A.D.A. Casey Novak : Katie, you pointed out Alex Parvin as the one who argued with, and hit, your mother. Is that right?

A.D.A. Casey Novak : How could you tell the difference between Alex's voice and his father's?
