Sunlit Shadow Dance
“The judge who had heard the original murder trial was sympathetic, the police commissioner was sympathetic, as he knew there was lots of public sympathy for her following Anne’s program’s on TV, But the prosecution was playing hard-ball, there was a legal minefield in Susan’s conviction for murder that had never been overturned.
Alan felt his life was more and more caught up in endless meetings with lawyers who all had opinions for sale and big egos about how their view of the world was correct. But none had a way forward to get this mess of legal process resolved, other than something like a new hearing and a retrial.
He did not want to go there, even if he could get Susan’s or her family’s cooperation. Without her having memory of what had gone before the whole thing seemed futile, even without considering the further damage it may cause her if it reopened all those wounds again.
Anne, using David’s money, had retained the best barrister that money could buy. He seemed to have the b...est ideas about how to unscramble this omelette, but even he seemed to have no concrete way forward.MoreLess
