Never Look Down (2015)
Never Look Down
“He entered a plea of not guilty and was remanded to custody at the Multnomah County Jail. Bail was denied, which was typical for a murder charge, particularly when the defendant was a rich, itinerant gambler. The chess game between the prosecution and the defense would now begin.
Nando went to the arraignment and called me afterwards with a blow-by-blow description of the brief proceedings. You’d have thought it was the actual trial the way he carried on. It seemed my friend had regained hi...s footing, although I worried that perhaps he was trying too hard. Grief is a tricky emotion. It has to run its course. I wasn’t sure my friend understood that yet. He wanted it done with. Now.

“Looks that way, yeah.” I described the case against Claudia’s ex-husband and answered her questions as best I could.
“What about Manny Bonilla?”MoreLess
