Noting Lyle's declining control
and fearing an incipient outburst, Henry interrupted and declared
that they would now take a lunch break. How could that idiot sit there
and let himself give away that kind of detail on how SmurFFs were handled
in his department? Henry knew that this was having a deleterious effect
on the panel and he knew that he'd better set things straight while
there was still a chance to cover up.
Chapter 10
Lunch was catered in the upstairs witness room as the prosecution,
Henry and the panel, huddled to socialize and discuss the morning events.
Henry and Frank Anuse excused themselves after the meal and adjourned
to the men's room to plan strategy. "We can't say too much to the women
now with the other witnesses around but when we get back, you take Esther
out somewhere and I'll handle Jane. Annette's no threat, we'll forget her.
Anyhow, explain how all that bullshit about the chain of custody doesn't have
any bearing at all. Everything rests on the document examiner's evidence.
Nothing else counts. Got it?"
"No problem, Henry. I'll set her straight," Anuse said reassuringly.
