A Time to Love (1998)
“The prosecuting attorney, who respected Blake, had to use the evidence found in his house by the sheriff and deputies.
Attorney David Rice was left with only one line of defense—Blake’s impeccable past, what he had done for the community, what he had done for his church, and the thought-provoking question: why would a man who was a millionaire risk prison to steal a mere twelve thousand dollars and then be so foolish as to hide it in his own house?
Haman Warner sat on the second row behind Blak...e and his attorney. Outwardly, he appeared to be deeply concerned for Blake. Inwardly, he was gloating over his own brilliance. He could tell the men on the jury wished they had not accepted their task. Indeed, Blake Barrett was much admired in the town, and though the evidence presented made Blake look absolutely guilty, they hated to bear the responsibility of sending him to prison.
When Judge Blevins dismissed the jury to decide their verdict, Haman left his seat. With every eye in the courtroom on him, he stepped up behind Blake and laid a hand on his shoulder.MoreLess
