My own fingers flutter up over my eyes as I try to push the memories forward. But try as I might, it’s all blur and white noise.“That’s where it starts going fuzzy, okay? I can’t—” “Did you hear voices? Other than his?” Maybe? “I don’t know. Arguing? I heard… and then…” I shake my head. “I don’t know. I don’t remember anything clearlyafter that point.” “So why not tell that to the judge?” I peer up at him. “What?” His glare has softened. But he’s still just as pissed as he was when we rushed out of the building. “You’ve had all this time tocome clean to the judge. To the appeals council. Hell, write a f*****g letter to the D.A. You keep saying you can’t remember?That means you can’t say without a shadow of a doubt that you physically saw Tolya pull the trigger.”
