I feel bad for Adlet... he knew that guy, and I guess maybe understood him better than us all. But...
[ she just reaches out a hand to gently put it on his arm. because yeah. yeah. ]
Everyone who voted for him should consider themselves a hypocrite... myself included. I should be the last person sentencing someone to a guilty verdict when they didn't do it.
[ he smiles a little at the touch. yeah, she probably is in a pretty similar place in this situation. ]
You and me both. At the same time, there was no good answer either. It was still gonna be sentencing someone who didn't set out to hurt anybody to death. If they'd just do lesser charges and lighter sentences when they're justified we wouldn't be in this situation.

But yeah. Adlet's probably the thing I feel worst about. 'Cause I've seen how much false convictions hurt the people left behind, too. And while I may have had mixed feelings on Hans, Adlet's a good kid. Especially after suggesting him at one point last week... I really didn't wanna hurt him.

Best thing we can do, I guess... is just be there when he needs us. It sucks, but it's all we really have control over at this point.
Feels like I went from one jail to another bigger jail with a fuckin' murder schedule.
