CHAPTER 24

Charlie came upon Simm scrolling through a document on his computer. She peered over his shoulder to see what it was and realized it was the court transcript from the Lemieux trial.

“Have you found anything yet?”

“I just started, but I’m trying my best to read between the lines.”

“That’s a lot of reading.”

“I don’t care. I need to do it.” Simm looked up at her, his expression intent. “I talked to the lawyer, Stephane, about it. He said something was off with Lemieux. The defense lawyer pleaded mental illness to get a lighter sentence. They had dueling testimonies by psychologists. The jury sided with the defense. He thinks it was because Lemieux came off like a zombie in court.”

“I’d think most people would be shell-shocked in a criminal courtroom.”

“Steph thought it was more than that. I’ll keep it in mind.”

“What can I do to help?”

Simm studied her with an appraising eye. “Can you do internet research?”

“Sure.”

He grinned and showed her what to look for.
