The Judge: A Short Story

The media called him a serial killer, although that’s not how he saw himself.  He was righting wrongs!  He was protecting the innocent!  He was… about to meet his match. 

Excerpt:
 
I could tell by the slope of his shoulders he was ready to talk.  I would be the first to hear the details of what transpired between Johnny Evans and his killer.

“Your honor,” I said in greeting.

He ignored me, continuing to stare at his hands, and I let the silence stretch until he was ready to break it.  When he did, his eyes did not meet mine.

“Evans had motive.  There was no one to corroborate his alibi.”

“And the murder weapon?  His were not among the prints they found.”

He waved his hand in dismissal.  “The box cutter was used by all the employees.  It was more suspicious that they weren’t on it.”

“The jury didn’t think so.  They considered it reasonable doubt.”

“So they did.”

“What happened that night, sir?”
​​​​​​​
The Judge leaned back in his chair, finally meeting my gaze with haunted eyes.  Gone was his grandiose air.  Gone was his conceit.  It was a broken man who told me his tale.
