February Sucks: Tommy's Birthday

... whole thing was generating huge numbers; the incident had been recorded by no less than 8 neighbors. One of the younger guys had actually live streamed the whole thing from start to finish with colorful commentary.

The news media was doing everything they could to get an interview with either Jim or Linda, they interviewed all the neighbors. It was chaos up to and including the arraignment.

Dave had been nervous about the arraignment, not sure exactly how Jim was going to be. Mentally he seemed fine, but he'd killed a man in cold blood. That surely had twisted him somehow, if he hadn't already been unhinged from the night before.

They had agreed that they would plead not guilty and then figure out their real strategy once the trial date had been set. And so it went, District Judge Sandersen read the charges, Jim spoke his plea, and the judge remanded him back into custody.
