In shadows of the courtroom, drama brews,
A tale of love, of wealth, and old flame's muse,
Menendez, under legal fire's glare,
Defends his past with childhood's somber air.
His wife's ex-lover, a ghost from days gone,
Whispers of poverty, fears drawn upon,
To sway the jury, paint a picture clear,
Of struggles faced and choices held so dear.
Each witness takes the stand, the story weaves,
Intrigue and heartache, tangled web it leaves,
Yet truth will surface, justice must prevail,
In this courtroom saga, where the past sets sail.
