Chapter 19: Arraignment
The arraignment was set for nine the next morning, and by eight-thirty the courthouse steps in Hartford were solid with cameras.
I stood at the top of them in my navy sweater, with Calvin one step behind me and to the left.
I had not asked him to stand there.
He had simply done it.
A van backed up to the curb below, and four marshals climbed out.
They brought Neal out of the back in handcuffs and a borrowed suit that hung wrong on his shoulders.
His hair was uncombed, and his chin was gray with stubble.
I had watched that man straighten his tie in glass for three years.
Every camera on the plaza swung toward him at once.
"Mr. Weldon! Mr. Weldon, did you collect the insurance?"
"Neal! Over here!"
He kept his head down until he reached the foot of the steps.
Then he looked up, and he saw me.
His whole face broke open.
He wrenched against the marshal's grip, and the cuffs rang on his wrists.
