Coronation Street fans have spotted a reason why Imran Habeeb can help Kelly Neelan win her case.
On Wednesday night, viewers watched as Nina Lucas and Asha Alahan took to the stand at Kelly and Corey Brent's trial.
The pair are in court over the murder of Seb Franklin, which happened back in May when he and girlfriend Nina were chased and attacked by Corey and his gang.
Kelly has already been charged with murder but Corey's dad Stefan has hired a huge defence team to get him off the hook as his son lies about the night of the attack.

The court also heard Seb's heartbreaking final words as he phoned for help while dragging himself along the floor, battered and bruised, to be by his girlfriend's side.
Viewers watched as barrister Sabeen Habeeb tore apart Nina's version of events, making for uncomfortable viewing.
It was then Asha's turn to be quizzed and viewers were angered when Imran didn't hold back.
The lawyer, played by actor Charlie de Melo, used Asha's confession that she was still in love Nina and their past relationship to argue that Corey's jealously led to him kill Seb in a jealous rage.
"It is possible this has nothing to do with my client," Imran said, "but rather Corey targeted Nina because of you?"
Asha was reduced to tears as Imran pointed the blame before saying, "No more questions, your honour."
Asha's dad Dev Alahan later confronted Imran in the street as he returned home with girlfriend Toyah Battersby.
"You tell kids that it’s their fault someone’s died?" Dev fumed.
But Imran hit back: "I am doing my best here, okay? I knew what I had to do to Asha today, and I knew that I had to go hard on her, and I hated every second of it.
"The difference is, after all of that, Asha gets to go home."
Dev, however, wasn't feeling sympathetic and lashed out, calling Imran a bully.
But viewers didn't expect what happened next.
"Do you want to see what I can really do?" Imran replied. "Come by court tomorrow. Because what I did to Asha today is nothing compared to what I’m going to do to Corey."
Despite being angry at him for his tear down of Asha, viewers believe Imran can win and get Kelly to walk free from court.
"He did it to Geoff all those months ago in yasmeens case. He can do it to Corey on Friday," one fan said.
Another tweeted: "Imran has that look in his eye! He's going to take down Corey the same way he took down Geoff! Can't wait for Friday's episodes! #Corrie."
"Let’s hope Imran makes cory snap at the trial and show his true colours just like he did with Geoff #coronationstreet #corrie @itvcorrie," a third added.
A fourth said: "I mean Imran got Geoff to snap at trial. Corey is going to be a piece of cake #Corrie #coronationstreet."
"This Friday we get Imran Vs. Geoff 2 Let’s see what ya got little Geoff Jr! #Corrie," another commented.
Fans will remember cheering when Imran got Geoff Metcalfe to show his true colours in court after Yasmeen spent months in prison for attempted murder.
But can Imran do the same for Kelly like he did for Yasmeen?
