This is a beautiful story that shows the reader some vivid pictures, especially of the accused lady. I guess she bribed her way to victory by using her body to entice the judge. well done

Enjoyable read full of tense courtroom drama, You told your entire story with the contest limit and wisely used the required words, such that they blended so well with the story. Good luck in the booth.

Very nice ending. I couldn't help but smile when I read it. It is hard to put together a brief story in 200 words but you did a great job. Good luck in the contest.

I quite enjoyed the liberties you took. Well written holding the readers attention from the start.

I partly guessed that she was guilty, but never expected the clever twist at the end.

Best of luck in the contest

Hah! I didn't expect the twist to be a 'gift' for the judge. I'm impress with how much of her personality you were able to express with the simple act of changing clothes. Didn't see anything I would change.

Well written and easy to follow. The ending was a surprise to me although I did sort of anticipatte it when you mentioned the judge's advice to the jury. You probably did take some liberties with the justice system because I think it would be unusual for this to happen in real life. That's what fiction is all about though.

Well written. I hope that this doesn't really happen, but knowing how things work, it probably does. You did a good job with dialogue and setting up the scene. Not an exciting story, but competent. (I know you only had 200 words.) Good job.

Excellent short story! Well constructed with just enough details cleverly included to give the reader all the necessary information. It is the sign of a good writer to know what to include and what can be left out without confusing the reader. This was incredibly well- done. Your author notes made me laugh. Very clever, you are. I enjoyed your little story.

That is one way to tip the scales. Suspenseful build up to the reading of the verdict and then the payoff. Very well written. Good luck in the contest.

she returned though the deserted courtroom. --> through
