CHAPTER X

The Closing Arguments and The Verdict

The testimony in the Sharon Kinne trial ended with the defense calling 14 witnesses to testify in her behalf. Quinn felt confident that Sharon would be acquitted due to the mostly circumstantial evidence presented by the prosecution. June Hill bore no doubt that his presentation would put Sharon on the highway to hell, via the gas chamber. He felt his case to be the stronger of the two sides. Now, he needed to wrap up the entire sordid story in his summation to the jury, leaving no doubt in their minds.

"Mrs. Sharon Kinne had the motive, the weapon, and the subterfuge with which to lure Mrs. Patricia Ann Jones to her death," Hill began. “She carried on a unsavory affair with Patricia's husband, Walter and allegedly, begat his child. She’d have you believe that little the girl is the daughter of her late husband, but the math just isn’t there. Sharon gave birth in January of this year. Her husband died in March of last year—ten months prior. But, nine months after Sharon began the affair with Walter Jones. I don’t think you need scratch paper to figure that one out. Sharon Kinne is a liar.

"Armed with a .22 caliber pistol and a sack of horrific whoppers, Sharon lured Mrs. Jones to a secluded spot on Phelps Road. She convinced her that they might catch Walter in the act and curiosity ended Mrs. Jones' life ended that day. “The jury followed Hill’s pacing, Quinn’s team took copious notes, and Sharon doodled funny cartoons on her legal pad.

"It’s about the most cruel, brutal murder that anyone can conceive of. Here's a young wife, whose just been told about her philandering husband—taken out and killed. Every person in this courtroom heard the riveting testimony of Dr. Charles Wheeler. We all heard, and some of us wept, at his death scene portrayal.

"The defense would have you believe the extramarital confessions of Donald Fitzpatrick and Betty Jean Wallace. Here are two people, cheating and lying on their spouses, searching for a place to have illicit intercourse and we’re supposed to believe them? At one time, the law firm of Quinn and Peebles employed Donald Fitzpatrick. He’s a man familiar to them. They tried to get Fitzpatrick to pinpoint the exact location where he and Mrs. Wallace had intercourse, but they failed. Fitzpatrick and his married companion had intercourse in the area near the outhouse of the abandoned Cruwell farm, an area appropriate to the event. He stated that he didn’t see the farm implements testified to by John Boldizs. Fitzpatrick and Mrs. Wallace completely missed the farm machinery and completely missed the body of Patricia. Engaging in immoral intercourse seemed to be the only thing they didn’t miss.”

Hill continued with his summation: "You heard testimony about fly eggs being found in Mrs. Jones' hair. You’ve learned that this particular strain of fly doesn't lay eggs at night, which proves that the brutal murder of Patricia Jones couldn’t have occurred on Friday night, shortly before the discovery of the body.
