The Verdict

Little did I know last week, when I mentioned that I was interested in hearing the defense, that there would be a verdict in the case this week.

Guilty.

I have mixed emotions about this. If he did it, I want him to be punished. That's a given. But I knew him. Not terribly well, but I saw him every week, exchanged greetings in the mail room. I can't help but feel terribly sad.
