Chapter 4

Grace wasn’t entirely sure why they were making such a fuss about her defending herself. She’d not so much as defended herself but was trying to make her point clear to the dumbass. Not only did she have to endure being put in jail for something that she felt justified in doing, but they were telling her that she wasn’t going to be able to go home until the trial was over. Then she might well be here longer as she might be going to jail for a good deal longer. Stupid cow. Had she only just—

“Ms. Hardgrave, are you listening to what is going on?” She said that she didn’t care, telling the judge that she had been arrested falsely. “Not according to the report that I have before me. You were arrested for assaulting a woman by the name of Sunshine Meadow Cross.”

“She was bulling me into moving. I have every right to stand where I want, as it’s my right as a citizen of the United States. Not to mention, she was rude to me. And listening in on my conversation with the people that I was speaking to.” The judge asked her if she knew she was blocking several hundred people from going up or down the trail. “So? I was there and doing what I needed at the time. Where did she get off thinking that she was more important than me having a private conversation? She isn’t just so we’re clear on that. I needed to make those people that I was speaking to aware that they weren’t the only ones on the trail. That everyone should just go home and let me do what I want when I need to. You’d think that this park wasn’t something that you can see on the internet the way that they were crowding me on the pathway up and down. Why don’t they just have one or two people go up at a time then there wouldn’t be any trouble with people crowding me? That would save a great deal of heartache if you asked me.”

“No one did ask you.” He looked around the room and called on a Ranger by the name of Cross. “Mark, could you please give me an estimate on how many people visit the park in which you work a year?”

“Over fourteen million in the last year, sir. That would average about forty thousand per day, but that’s over a year’s time. The visitors are fewer in the winter months, though we are still open for the entire year.” He asked him how many would he estimate would be on the day that the officer was harmed. “We have that estimate at eighty thousand visitors, sir.”

“The park had to close down that particular area, am I right?” The Ranger, or whatever he was, said that it was still closed off due to the trial. “I see. And how many men are watching that area for the park? I’m assuming that there are quite a few of them.
