Bab 32: Jane to the stand

And finally, the time came.

"I would like to call my next witness, Jane Reinhart," Charles informed the judge. 

Jane stood up from where she had been seated and made her way towards the witness stand. She could sense everyone's eyes on her, some with curiosity and some with annoyance, as she was supposed to help hang the murderer, not help him. 

"Order! Order!" Judge Reynolds silenced the crowd in the courtroom, which had broken into whispers and murmurs. 

Jane finally took her stand and met Charles's eyes before her eyes fleeted towards where he sat. 

The room went quiet, waiting for the next scene of the trial to roll out. Charles walked to the front of the witness stand and asked Jane, "Miss Reinhart, you are the detective in the case, aren't you?" 

"Yes."

"And you were the one who sent out the fingerprints from the crime scene to Mr. Gael Hines, am I correct?" 

"Yes." Jane repeated her answer calmly.
