Silence like a graveyard
The courtroom stood with ears in attention
The people vibrating with anticipation
Bated breaths stood the accused
Deep in thought the judge
Tension in the defenders
All waiting.

Waiting for the judgement
A new course of life for the accused
A victory for the accuser
Who knows or failure
Maybe a justice for the accused.

Finally the judge spoke
The final judgement everyone awaited
Sadness, nervousness...
