The judge finally walked back into the room. Daeva’s heart stopped, her blood stood frozen in her veins. Even though she knew what was coming, she wasn’t ready for it. He sat at his desk and cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention, although she wasn’t sure if it was needed, “I have decided, with all the overwhelming evidence given to me by Mr. Olsen along with several witness reports filed at the local police station has to lead me to the conclusion that Daeva Dennis will be charged with 2nd-degree murder... Case closed.” the judge hit the gavel on his desk twice. The cops walked up to Daeva to take her back to her holding cell. The second they grabbed her shoulders, it triggered something in her brain, “GET OFF ME!” she screamed, she looked up with teary eyes at the judge, “I DIDN’T MEAN TO KILL HIM I SWEAR ON MY LIFE! PLEASE YOU’RE MAKING A MISTAKE!”
