The Trial
|
|
Connie Stevens becomes the third actress (after Christine Estabrook and Frances Fisher) to play the role of Titus's mother, Juanita, who was last seen having just fatally shot her abusive husband at Titus and Erin's ill-fated wedding. Now Juanita is on trial for murder, and ex-husband Ken can't wait to testify and put her away for good. Not so Titus. She is, after all, his mom, and when Titus takes the stand—following some well-intentioned but highly incriminating remarks by Erin, Dave and Tommy—he emphasizes the positive things he's learned from her. What later transpires during the course of the trial, however, can in no way be construed as positive.
