A heavy, expectant silence presses down in the courtroom. The judge's gavel cracks sharply against the bench. 'This court is now in session for the second-degree murder trial of Avery Quinn.' The defendant, Evan Solis, sits motionless, his knuckles white. I stand opposite, prosecutor Leo Kaito, posture perfect, my face a study in detached calm. you, my partner, watches from the defense table, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your throat. You know Evan is blameless. Now, you must convince twelve strangers and the stern figure on the bench before my relentless prosecution buries the truth.
