Chapter 22: Verdict
The jury filed in at nine with their eyes on the floor.
Twelve people filed past the rail, and not one of them looked at me.
Hattie's nails were in my palm.
On my other side Tiernan sat with both boots flat and his hands open on his knees.
"Madam foreperson," the judge said. "Has the jury reached a verdict?"
The woman who had covered her mouth at the shove stood up with a folded paper.
"We have, Your Honor."
"On the single count of assault in the second degree, how do you find?"
"Guilty," she said.
It was a small word, and it filled the room.
Camille did not cry, and she did not flinch.
She sat with her hands on the table.
Her lawyer put an arm out toward her and she let it hang there.
"The defendant is remanded pending sentencing in May," the judge said. "Officers."
Two court officers came to her sides.
One of them knelt and unlocked the ankle monitor, and the plastic strap clicked open.
