When a judge takes it upon himself
To override the judicial process
What will be the consquences ...?
Is there an appropriate precedent ...
Or has the judicial process been
Circumvented unnecessarily so?
Where are we - the people - in all of this?
Did she deserve second-degree murder?
Or did the defense's last-ditch maneuver
Cause this gross injustice ...
What would have been the outcome ...
If a fancy lawyer hadn't played his last card?
Is there such a thing as attorney justice?
When is murder murder and when is it accidental?
Perhaps - we will never know ... as we weren't there ...
Were we?
- a reflection ... (of a nanny's distress)
