Case closing

It's been three weeks, and the murder trial I have been covering ended yesterday. I think I will kind of miss camping out in that courtroom and just watching all the interactions. There were even a couple of us "regulars" who I'd started to develop a certain companionship with.

But the days covering the trial were always packed, with me running around trying to get all my regular duties done, plus be in court for seven hours plus write my story. At least I was always guaranteed overtime.

Now it's time to wait for what the jury decides.

Lesson learned: The judge will let us steal the cushions on the front row of chairs, as long as you turn your cell phone off.
