Coming back to the courtroom from home couldn’t have taken longer. I was anxious to get back even though it was sweltering in the building. We were gone for about an hour. I wanted to know everything that had happened. Luckily Reverend Sykes had saved our spots. Hardly anyone had moved since we left. I asked Reverend how long the jury had been out. He said‚ “ ‘Bout thirty minutes. Mr. Finch and Mr. Gilmer did some more talkin’‚ and Judge Taylor charged the jury.” “How was he?” I asked. “What say

If the first time it worked‚ the second time he tried to use her own words against her it didn’t work as he might have expected. In fact‚ the smirk on her face remained even as he implied that she expected something from him. Indeed‚ she had something on her mind‚ but then again‚ it wasn’t like she was the only one with such intentions.
