Dexter's mother walked down the center aisle without looking at anyone.
The lilac hat nodded at every step, and her heels struck the oak floor.
The sergeants had Dexter by both arms at the lectern.
The speaker lay in two pieces at his feet.
"Mom," he said. "Mom, tell them. They're twisting it."

"I heard the messages," she said. "I stood outside the door and heard every one.

Dexter's mouth opened and shut.

"I wept in front of two hundred people because I thought my son had been wronged.
"I find I wept for the wrong one."
