RICCI: Well, I didn't have any medication at the time in question.
KING: Didn't?
RICCI: I did not at the time in question. I got in a severe car accident about 18 months ago. I was given the proper medication to take on an as-needed basis, and I've just been trying to recover from that.
Comment - So she has been hooked on the Soma's for the 18 months since she had her accident (the entire time she had known Richard Ricci. And now she's trying to claim she's been trying to get off them? If she is it's probably because her doctor won't give them to her any more, he was prescribing them to her for this great a length of time at risk of medical malpractice. Note she admits it is something you have 'to recover' from.
