CHAPTER NINE
When Marc enters the client interview room adjacent to the courtroom, Clive Parsons is reading a celebrity fan magazine. Oddly, it’s a bit tattered, with some pages missing and others torn. But Parsons is engrossed.

Today is the hearing for Clive Parsons and his opportunity to request a trial based on new information he has given to Marc and which Marc has verified.
“Well, I never promise which way things will turn out, but I think we do have a good shot, Clive. Looks like we’re up in about five minutes. Are you ready?”
