Thank you! (and we are cards fans too!)

Thanks for the lead on the Christie book! I will try to check it out. I know I won't have time to read it before this assignment is due though. (next Tuesday) So can you give me your opinion on what would technically happen in the trial if they can't prove the accused twin committed the rape...

Well, since the entire story is already written in the 80's I would say yes, it's necessary, but what is your idea-if you want to share?

Thanks-yes it is my story, but the trial is just a small part, (although it's the key turning point in the story) and the ending is based on what happens in this trial. The assignment was to make sure a guilty person went free, so there isn't that much freedom with the manipulation. The...

This is totally hypothetical, I have a creative writing assignment where a guilty man walks free after a trial for rape with a lethal weapon (knife). I hope someone is willing to still answer my questions please! Back in the 80's, before DNA testing, the man, while with his brother, rapes and...
