Anitas Family Wants Revenge

Sam was cleared of all charges
Anita’s family was shocked
Audible gasps filled the court room
Someone began shouting and was led out by the bailiff

Mr. Tweed has been cleared of all charges,
The jury has found him not guilty.
Someone began to sob.
Anita’s family sat motionless, in horror.

They wanted to blame someone for her murder.
Sam was the likely culprit, he had beat her, hadn’t he?
They began planning their revenge. They would kill him.
They were enraged, indignant, and incorrect.
