You have a good chance in the competition as far as I am concerned because your story is so believable. I liked it from beginning to end.
Good luck.

Very good! I like the way you poked holes in the argument that she was guilty and that twist at the end was a nice touch. Thanks for sharing your fertile imagination!

LOL You're welcome. I think if one is deserved for writing as if it deserves to be published, then it should get one. This reads like something that should be published.

very well be a real senario many times

Thank you so much for the review. I really appreciate it. I am trying to catch up on almost 400 reviews. I have tried to catch up but I'm fighting a losing battle! Please forgive me the carbon-copy response. If you suggested improvements, I have considered them. If you found nits, I have corrected them. Some of you wonderful people will be receiving more than one of these, because you review my work so often. You guys bless my heart.
Hugs,
Jan
Comment from AlvinTEthington
Really nice twist at the end. This was an extremely well written mystery; it reminded me of the fine writing in the television series "Murder, She Wrote." The way you observe all the facts and work them into the plot is phenomenal. Your characterization is extremely good, and would be especially noticed by anyone who has served on a jury. One note--"voir dire" literally means "to see, to speak", but your translation is fine. I did have questions about how this woman came to serve on a jury trial of her former husband, but your last sentence answered all that. Good job.

Comment from Donovan
Very good. I like the story, the plot and the conclusion. It kept my interest and I think if flowed well. A woman scorned should never be on a jury...or maybe they should only have women scorned.
