That will count for validation and carry weight. Laura is a respected, longtime citizen of PC. And I believe Portia was present as well.
And the police arrived at that warehouse meeting--hence the reason Dante was shot when he found Jason and dude. Only on this show would there be any question that a mobster is the better parent than a mother w/o an arrest record or lengthy list of violence. And this is coming about because Sonny is pissed off. He was fine with Ava until he learned about her role in getting Alexis disbarred. That, does not make Ava unfit nor does leaking Natalia's hateful comments. Makes her a bitch but that's not a crime.
