Emotional Court

the judge presiding 
over the emotional court 
emotional judgment 
final say fell upon deaf ears
jury of emotional peers 
were gathered around 
to witness the 
lawyers argue their case 
trial lasted only a few hours 
till the jury made their deliberation
the verdict passed 
down was a conviction of
guilty as charged on all accounts
sentenced to life with no parole
appealed the decision many times till one day they 
overturned the emotional sentence
