The verdict (2)
Everyone held their breath as the juror stood to announce the verdict. "After reviewing the facts of the case, the jury and judge has found Ms. Alyssa is innocent." The man declared without wasting anyone's time. "The case against Ms. Alyssa Fort is now closed."
Desmond let out a sigh of relief and almost jumped to hug his mother. No one had expected that the verdict would be pronounced this soon. In most cases, it took months or even years before a case was finally completed, and he had dreaded that his mother would have to stay in jail for all that time since the court did not permit her to be bailed out.
Once the court was dismissed, Desmond's lawyer found him and Zaria to talk.
"The case against your mother has been closed, but she will be released from jail in twenty four hours. I hope this is okay with you." He explained.
