The Hollow Trial

Words: 2026 · Source Novel:: The Broken Scales

A parallel civil trial unfolds: the family of a whistleblower who died suspiciously is suing Aegis Dynamics. The judge, a Finch appointee, excludes key evidence. The jury, swayed by corporate defense attorney Julian Mercer's silver-tongued arguments, finds Aegis not liable. The widow weeps as the gavel strikes—justice is colder than the grave.
