Anson’s breath caught in his throat

“But yet you're on her murderer’s side?” “Objection. Speculation.” “Rephrase the question.” Judge Henderson said. “And I'll remind you that the defendant is only accused.

That can be her way out. “We have now heard arguments from both sides in the case of People of the Philippines vs Marissa C.
