Chapter 25: Chancery Court
"He's lying," I said.
"I know," the lawyer said. "Get dressed. I want you there at eight-thirty."
She hung up.
Jameson was already out of bed, pulling on his shirt.
"I paid for that man," he said. "My family did."
"Your mother did."
"It's the same thing," he said. "It always was."
The chancery court was on the sixth floor of a stone building on the square.
There were cameras on the courthouse steps when we got out of the car.
There were mothers too. One held a sign that said BENJI IS NOT CONTENT, in my own words from the live.
The courtroom was paneled in dark wood, and every seat in the gallery was taken.
Jameson sat in the first row behind me, with his mother on one side and Ollie on the other.
The old studio owner sat at the end of the row in his fishing hat.
Lisette came in last.
She smiled at me across the aisle.
I testified first.
I told the judge about the coffee shop, the mattress on the floor, the sweet tea and the pen.
Then Lisette took the stand.
She was wonderful at it.
