“Hi, Joe,” I greet as I go sit next to him. “Any update on the elders for the trials?” “It’s handled,” he smiles, looking very much satisfied with himself. “I’ve managed to get three elders willing to participate.” “Are they reliable?” I worry. “If they’re fans of the way William did things, we’re screwed. They’ll find them all not guilty and then our hard work was for nothing.” “They’re reliable, all right,” he smiles mischievously. “I’ve deliberately picked them because of their hatred for William.” “Why do they hate him?” I do not need people that hate William, I need people that condone his doings. They could hate him for many reasons but still agree with the way he did things. I know it sounds like I want to ensure the perpetrators are found guilty, but that is not at all my goal
