All very good points. You're right about punishment, but who will it be?

Well, perhaps not broke, but at this point, still unemployed and wishing to be careful with his money. 😀 Partially right, which based on your comments I haven't gotten to yet, you already know. True, but was it intentional? Again, you know the answer by now. All aboard!

Another day, another review of the four other cases. This time, Fred had a different focus. Rather than reviewing the legal aspects, Fred focused on Silas' notes. He was hoping to find some clue that Silas at least thought they were gay. Fred understood why none of them said anything when he visited them at Rosharon. If Fred didn't have Mo's protection and he didn't hide being gay, he would have been sucking dicks all day, every day. Granted, when you loved the person, the dick was connected to,

Dang. I left out the six hours. Second screw up of time on this. But 70 minutes is now right 12:01 EDT

13 will be published in 35 minutes, the next four, I’m targeting every second day.

Well, we don't know exactly what he put in his cover letter, nor exactly what the job post included. That, and I guess he figured being on the inside for a while changes one's perspective. And, hey, it's fiction. 😀 There really aren't too many of them anymore. The 70's are over. That was experience. The practice came before. 😁 No, I would guess as a real estate attorney he probably made somewhere between a third and half of the new offer. Firing a guy because he lost a case to an important client's son, yeah, that's client loyalty. We'll find out more about SIlas in the coming chapters. There will be one comment later on that would be open to a wide range of interpretation. Yep. Book smart, not street smart, nor overly endowed with common sense.

When is a boy/girlfriend ever not troublesome? I believe that chance will come. Maybe not exactly as expected. Not really. The news is thrust upon him and he's just reacting. If you recall, he'd previously said that everybody in there would be better companionship than Watson. Oops. Although, I did indicate the Warden was anal, so maybe he thinks he has to say it. He's out, and essentially told the lawyer to fuck off. That would make me assume my job was done. I know I wouldn't want my resume in the cloud. There's probably already more information on the net about me than I'd be comfortable with. I'm not putting more there on purpose. Fred is the real estate lawyer. Stepane, he never told me what he did, he died too soon. 😁 Yeah, like I mentioned in the previous chapter's comments; emotions not my strong suit. Not sure if you mixed them up here. Granted Watson's expertise may not be murder, but as a PD he would have to know something about it. Again, Fred was the real estate lawyer. Exactly. Brains + Brawn will rule for sure. Lawyers are just so easy to pick on.

Yeah. Never thought about that. Nah, I tried to make him awfully stupid. Love is blind, apparently. 10 after this one, yes. Patience, this will be addressed soon. Stockholm Syndrome - I've heard the term, but didn't really know what it is. After looking it up, yeah, it may have started out that way.

True, but something clicked in Mo right away. I would say that is accurate. Perhaps Sean didn't make a great first impression, so Mo didn't make any kind of protection offer. Not really. I just thought it was a nice touch. Yeah, that's definitely on me. I've mentioned it before, but I'm not very good at sharing my emotions. I has shown up in my characters numerous times. Yes. Reputation is everything.

There are actual federal guidelines for wrongful imprisonments. Not all states follow them. Texas does. Hopefully for Fred’s sake it isn’t all of them. But then not everyone is gay. It’s hard to distinguish intent from incompetence.

Well, like Fred said when accepting Kyle’s invite, he didn’t have any friends in the area. Yeah, I showed my age there with old Dino.

Silas seems to have opened Pandora’s box. Will there be more impacts?

You sir, are a carpenter. You hit the nail right on the head.

It sure is possible.

Thanks True Very possible 29 hours, 12 minutes.

It took another two weeks, but Fred got an email from the appellate court, requesting, oddly enough, only legal representation presence on Monday December eighteenth to review both cases, in two weeks. As expected, Sebastian and Karter were copied. He was reading the email for about the twentieth time when they walked in. Karter obviously saw the email, he was very cheery, "Good morning Fred." "Good morning Karter, Sebastian." Sebastian simply nodded a greeting. He let his boss dr

This is a very interesting story. The characters feel real. There are twists and turns all along the way. There is plenty of interaction and action between the characters. The only thing that prevented a fifth star from my perspective was the constant change of character focus from chapter to chapter. Maybe it's just me, but I tended to lose track of which characters previously did what three or four chapters back. Regardless of that fact, it is still a good read. If your reading comprehension is better than mine, and I know mine is bad, so yours probably is, that won't be a roadblock for you. Perhaps a binge read would have worked better for me. Read it!!

No worries. My reading comprehension is for shit, so it may not have been an issue for anybody else. One positive about shitty comprehension, I can read stories/books multiple times and not remember what's going to happen. Needless to say, it's a negative in my writing; I have to re-read multiple times before it sinks in enough to not screw something up later. 😊

Both of the last two points are right on. I suppose it was possible the guard, Dennison, noticed the interaction between the two men and offered a suggestion. Could have gone either way. Perhaps I could have delved deeper into Stephane's character. That would also be a possibility. If they had been married, it would have been different.

Mixed emotions. I'm kind of sad to see it end, but also was getting lost among the multitude of characters as the story went on. I set some recommendations, but really wish there was one for "Confusing." Also, don't forget to mark it Complete so it can be reviewed.

@Zuri, lots to respond to there Grudgingly, perhaps. But not necessarily willingly. Yeah, probably closer to three, but obviously Mark isn't the best lawyer. Yeah, I never really addressed this. Let's just assume his family is either dead or far away. Yeah, I guess in a way. True, but this particular guard isn't the most useful tool in the shed.

I would say not. This interaction was between Bully and Mark Watson, and quietly at that, I would imagine. The murder one charge would normally come with a death sentence. There was enough doubt among the jury that it would never have been unanimous. For Bully, we must wait and see. That's been one of my faults for a long time. I try to do better, but yeah, the courtroom is generally a back and forth between two people. I would say vers, based on activities in later chapters. True, but what happens if that asset is freed? Even serving his maximum, Fred would be out five years before Mo. Yeah, nothing's always as it seems anymore. Like I said, completely conclusive is the only time I would see it used. This gives me a thought for story #2 I have in the queue. Live long and prosper, Mr. Spock.

On target once again. We shall see how your guesses fare soon.

The oversight committee will be looking this over for the next few chapters. We’ll let you know.

All true. Justice is nit only blind, but sometimes moves at a snail’s pace.
