Chapter 27: Undefeated
The kid's chalk stopped moving.
Brantley looked at him for one second, and then he turned away and walked to the stand.
He'd stood beside that box a thousand times. He'd leaned on its rail. He'd never once sat in it.
He put his hand on the Bible.
He swore.
He sat down, and the chair was lower than he expected. I watched his knees find that out.
The commonwealth's attorney didn't go to the rail. He stayed at his table with a single page.
"State your name."
"Brantley Treadway."
"Your occupation."
A pause.
"I'm an attorney."
"For now," said the commonwealth's attorney, mildly, and the court reporter's fingers paused and went on.
I'd said that once. In a deposition, about a marriage.
"Mr. Treadway, last Friday you pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice."
"Yes."
"And your agreement requires you to testify truthfully today."
