Poor guy. The real killer is stll out there. Will that killer go after the wronged man in jail or hire someone to kill  him if he seeks out the real killer and studies law to make an appeal?

You're a few chapters ahead, but not exactly what I have planned.

I'd pray for your safety if I thought it would do any good.

Okay, you've set the hook and now you're beginning to reel us in?

Meanwhile the real murderer is free, thinking they got away with killing Stephane.

Fred is arrested, by lazy cops and DA (possibly homophobic) who think "one gay killing his not quite boyfriend" is an easy conviction. Fred's equally lazy public defender takes an easy plea deal, doing no investigating. An ME / Coroner investigation would show if the dried blood on Fred's penis is 'internal blood' from anal sex, or 'external blood' from sleeping nude next to Stephane and rolling into blood on the sheets. In which case there could also be blood on Fred's thigh and leg.

In jail, Fred spends time trying to clear his wrongful conviction, but has someone found out and are trying to silence him?

   

 

 

Damn. I didn't even need to write the rest of the story. You've done it for me.

NOT!

Hummmm….dinger, an interesting beginning…

Has to be. Otherwise you all won’t keep reading.

Why would anyone fear me?

Many apologies to @Sherye Story Reader for the offense caused by my ironical, but to her,  mystifying, comment.  I had confused her with a very sharp and excellent beta reader and entered in the type of comments familiar to those who have read those of @Mrsgnomieand @kbois and their readers.  I can’t delete the comment but I certainly apologize for the error.  

Sounds intriguing 🤔 I wonder why there would be "only" five years if they expect it to have been a murder and how the dried blood can be explained—two questions, I'm excited to find out how well you have dealt with in terms of storytelling 😉
