After weeks of trial, the fate of Mark was finally in the hands of the jury.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3sBWT7SOq
The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense as everyone waited anxiously for the195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyhCyYeYuD
verdict. The judge entered the room and asked the foreperson of the jury if they had195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKUiXZ0VJw
reached a verdict. The foreperson, a middle-aged woman with a stern expression, stood195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtRJJplB3
up and announced that they had. The judge then asked her to read the verdict. We,195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUDFOWkuTu
the jury, find the defendant, Mark, guilty of all charges,” she declared. The room195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTYg0UwEXT
erupted in gasps and cries as the reality of the situation set in. Mark sat195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE6EcluD1k
stone-faced as the judge continued to address the jury, thanking them for their service195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9akayz6N8l
and dismissing them. He has then led away in handcuffs, with his family and195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGGFtgesh2
friends trailing behind him. As the trial progressed, it became clear to everyone in195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToRVdQP1Sx
the courtroom that Mark’s defense was weak. His lawyer had tried to argue that195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXvFvLl22u
Mark was not responsible for his actions due to his mental illness, but the195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93v85RMau2
evidence presented by the prosecution was too overwhelming. During the trial, the195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq37f5sH6A
prosecution had called a num- ber of witnesses to the stand, including Rachel and several195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfhpkfajR
of Mark’s former colleagues. They had all testified to Mark’s increasingly195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsNq8yDQEh
erratic and violent behavior in the months leading up to the murder. The prosecution195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uwxa4OUFt
had also presented evidence of Mark’s online activity, including his search195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNYSArFkR
history and his messages to Rachel. They painted a picture of a man who was obsessed195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhykrLdqsw7
with power and control and who was willing to go to extreme lengths to get what he195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC0KCFAs8e
wanted. The defense had attempted to discredit the wit- nesses and the evidence, but195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7m8b6WaW3
their arguments had fallen flat. Mark’s lawyer had also called a psychiatrist to195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq7GDSOqgG
testify about Mark’s mental state, but the jury had clearly not been convinced. Now,195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA57lSokeye
as Mark was led away to begin his prison sentence, his family and friends were195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutshABhT1f
left to deal with the aftermath. They were shocked and devastated by the verdict,195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssXCdA3bIq
struggling to come to terms with the fact that the man they knew and loved was capable of195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlQbyDzJrO
such horrific acts. Rachel, too, was left to grapple with the trauma of what had195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswa83Q8Mik
happened. She had been lucky to escape with her life, but the emotional scars of the195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt6DUkJcYs
experience would be with her for a long time. The trial had been a harrowing experience195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohfljpiDj
for everyone involved, and the verdict had brought a sense of closure. But for195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokFqEk37O6
those closest to Mark and Rachel, the pain and the questions would linger on for195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n1ftXijhV
years to come.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo4i4NiUt6
