Tom Jennings didn't seem like the sort capable of murder but nevertheless faced a hearing that would decide whether or not he would stand trail for exactly that. He was accused of killing a man whose body was seated in chair in the crowded courtroom.
Tom was Rock's next-door neighbor, and Rock was there to watch the results of his hearing. He spoke with Tom the day before and noticed an almost utter lack of concern. Tom was no killer, he knew.
What was oddest about this procedure was the dead man. Someone wondered aloud when the room would begin to smell of death.
