Chapter 20 - THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONAfter Judge Ward referred portions of the authenticated evidence, police reopened the burn incident.

“No.”
“Did he threaten you at the hospital?”
“Not explicitly.”
“Then why lie?”
I looked at her.
“Because sometimes nobody has to finish the threat.”

Good detective.
