Caitlin Carter's eyes brimmed with redness, her lips pursed, silent.
Christopher Simonson felt irritated and said to his mother, "It's precisely because we're not sure if they have sufficient ability that we should go and see. Scott has suffered these past two years inside; Caitlin cannot be at peace seeing her younger brother wrongfully accused. We should try any opportunity that comes our way; it's only human nature."
The old lady, seeing her son defend his wife, grew even more angry and snapped, "Wrongfully accused? He committed murder and broke the law! If it weren't for the Simonson Family hiring a lawyer and pulling strings, he'd have been executed long ago!"
"My younger brother didn't commit murder!" Caitlin's tears spilled out.
Raised with strict discipline, she could never talk back to her elders. She could endure anything else, but she could not stay silent about her brother's case!
