Immediately a mummer hovers over the room, forcing the judge to slam his gavel and demand, “Quiet! There will be no speaking while court is in session.” The Foreman clears his throat and answers, “Not guilty.” “On the count of First Degree Murder, do you the jury find the defendant guilty or not guilty?” “Foreman of the jury,” the bailiff starts. He hands the papers containing the judgment of the jury back to the bailiff. The breath released audibly by the judge cuts through the courtroom like a knife, as he tosses his reading glasses to the desk. The courtroom, now standing is silent and stagnant, the only thing heard are papers rustling as the judge settles to read the verdict handed over by the bailiff. The darkness around his sunken eyes are evidence of the life he’s chosen, those choices leading to him standing where he is today. His mousy light brown hair is slightly dirty and slicked back with a few strands falling forward. He’s of medium stature, not big, not small, but hate and venom are set in his face.

The defendant lazily pulls himself to his feet, throws his public defender a menacing glare, then turns his deep set brownish-yellow eyes to the floor in front of his table. “All rise,” the bailiff announces as the judge enters the courtroom.
