Emma stares at me. ―None of this has anything to do with Jacob.‖

―It does,‖ I say, ―because in the State of Vermont, in spite of everything I just told you, John Bean was found competent to stand trial. That‘s legal precedent.‖

Emma sinks down onto the bench beside me. ―Oh,‖ she says, her voice small. ―So what do we do now?‖

―I, uh, think we need to plead insanity.‖

Her head snaps up. ―What? What are you talking about? Jacob‘s not insane—‖

―You just told me he wasn‘t competent to stand trial, and now you‘re telling me he‘s too competent to use an insanity defense. You can‘t have it both ways!‖ I argue. ―We can look at the discovery when it comes in … But from what you‘ve told me, there‘s a pretty strong case against Jacob, including a confession. I really believe it‘s the best way to keep him out of jail.‖
