“Freeman was a damn good prosecutor but in my view she didn’t play fair. A trial was supposed to be a spirited contesting of facts and evidence. Both sides with equal footing in the law and the rules of the game. But using the rules to hide or withhold facts and evidence was the routine with Freeman. She liked a tiled game. She didn’t carry the light. She didn’t even see the light.”

de cor abrasada e vermelha
com que tingem os panos - do qual há muito nesta terra-
como se valesse mais um pau que tinge panos
que aquele pau divino onde morreu o Redentor.”
