Murder One
Jury Duty - Is she telling the truth?78 total reviews
Comment from Cairn Destop
A most interesting twist on the lady scorned. Though the lady did have to lie during Voir Dier. Makes you wonder about her credibility. But then nobody else knew what the readers learned. A well done twist. No SPAG detected.

Comment from Scribbelini
Crafty very crafty, I love this story. It's well though out and has just the right twist. I don't know that I would say Daryl put out a hit. Those guys are good and she would probably be dead. As well as she knows the mob a threat would probably suffice. Think? Well done.

I did think of that, but figured seeing as she was secreted into the Witness Protection Program, she was probably okay. So glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate the review!

Excellent! I am very impressed with the direction that you too this. I wonder just what real precations are taken to make sure that jurors are not someone in the witness protection program?

This turned out to be a radical trial. Very very good write. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the first to the last. Especially at the end. The bit about having facial surgery and changing her name. Loved the intrigue in this one. Sharon

Hi Jan:
I've always managed to avoid jury duty one way or another.
I loved the humor your descriptions injected into this piece, especially the bulldog. Your use of contractions makes the dialog crisp and much more believable. The pace is excellent.
Note:
[ 'Daddy's sitting up in the balcony.(-" +') ] Needs a single quote.
I really enjoyed this work. Best wishes in the contest. This story should certainly stand a good chance of winning.

Your story is interesting, well written, filled with details and great insight.
The twist at the end was surprising, making the whole thing that much stronger.
Very well done.

When does voting on this begin again?
Lady, you have won this one. And I just had an amazing time reading this! Love the way the story ends.
I applaud the come-back girl! Now that is what is hottt!!
[PS: I was too into the story to notice any errors. I counsel myself to re-read for review, an excuse for a second round at the enjoyment.tee-hee]
Fantastic read, an even more fantastic plot!

Comment from empire76
I find it interesting that the two entries I've read show the 'odd one out' as having and unfair advantage. I guess that's a good way of convincing the others. I guess there isn't too much room to manoeuvre with 1500 words
:-)
Good story. I liked the twin brother angle

:-) I did laugh when I read the other entry after I posted this. You are so correct - 1500 words does put a limit on creativity! LOL
Thanks for the great review!

Comment from Korton
This is an excellent story, well written and well thought out. Although it worked out well in this case, it does give one pause to wonder about the criminal justice system. Very well done.
