After weeks of trial, the fate of Mark was finally in the hands of the jury.156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiHtI9LLMs
The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense as everyone waited anxiously for the156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0niBYZBXTq
verdict. The judge entered the room and asked the foreperson of the jury if they had156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIsTjwoksw
reached a verdict. The foreperson, a middle-aged woman with a stern expression, stood156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB8QspYS7n
up and announced that they had. The judge then asked her to read the verdict. We,156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLbNhJxI7x
the jury, find the defendant, Mark, guilty of all charges,” she declared. The room156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F6O7FgLoF
erupted in gasps and cries as the reality of the situation set in. Mark sat156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJTy3GxtWH
stone-faced as the judge continued to address the jury, thanking them for their service156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafrtcsAfAy
and dismissing them. He has then led away in handcuffs, with his family and156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl3wXgyDps
friends trailing behind him. As the trial progressed, it became clear to everyone in156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltdnWF3Rjw
the courtroom that Mark’s defense was weak. His lawyer had tried to argue that156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7a6fnpqvs
Mark was not responsible for his actions due to his mental illness, but the156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1HWkrSKc
evidence presented by the prosecution was too overwhelming. During the trial, the156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdapQrvpin
prosecution had called a num- ber of witnesses to the stand, including Rachel and several156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZz7b8AOsz
of Mark’s former colleagues. They had all testified to Mark’s increasingly156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeGCdrnGcL
erratic and violent behavior in the months leading up to the murder. The prosecution156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcZXp5FW5l
had also presented evidence of Mark’s online activity, including his search156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsx6VYtY4
history and his messages to Rachel. They painted a picture of a man who was obsessed156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2aI0FXj40
with power and control and who was willing to go to extreme lengths to get what he156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd9F4fN0hJ
wanted. The defense had attempted to discredit the wit- nesses and the evidence, but156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfKvhT8uxe
their arguments had fallen flat. Mark’s lawyer had also called a psychiatrist to156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5tILR68hC
testify about Mark’s mental state, but the jury had clearly not been convinced. Now,156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjqHjYu0Te
as Mark was led away to begin his prison sentence, his family and friends were156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lfanONKTo
left to deal with the aftermath. They were shocked and devastated by the verdict,156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DC6lbAQGV
struggling to come to terms with the fact that the man they knew and loved was capable of156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38eexSss94
such horrific acts. Rachel, too, was left to grapple with the trauma of what had156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWp0nN72WX
happened. She had been lucky to escape with her life, but the emotional scars of the156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcF9R3hxVu
experience would be with her for a long time. The trial had been a harrowing experience156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq1AcMUWpD
for everyone involved, and the verdict had brought a sense of closure. But for156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT1P2eIO83
those closest to Mark and Rachel, the pain and the questions would linger on for156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ONeBOvI2l
years to come.156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR9z5599bM
