as mayor, Laura is using her influence. She isn't. What Laura is using is her CONTACTS. I love me some Laura but she looks dumb here. I wouldn't mind it as much if she just put the bug in Heather's ear so that she can consult with a lawyer and see what her options are. That's a far cry from this drum Laura has been beating that is thisclose to a crusade. Portia is afraid for her daughter. I get where she's coming from and it warrants raising her voice.
We all saw how Franco was treated after his surgery. Imagine Heather trying to function in Port Charles. Kristina witnessed her attacking Brando. Sasha lost her husband because of Heather. Ava nearly died because of Heather. These people will encounter her because PC isn't that big. The people she killed deserve justice and this ain't it.
