During this Chapter the Trial begins. If Ryan is found guilty he will be sentenced to death by hanging. He was represented by the best of the best, Kalani Adams who is determined to proved that Ryan McGregor is rightfully innocent.
Callum’s house is constantly being vandalised, threats coming from each directions, and soon enough their home is burned down.
Callum was asked to testify his story of what happened in court as CCTV Footage was found of him leaving in a panic with Sephy, so they believe that he had something to do with this attack. He tells the Jury that he had to show Sephy something outside, and Sephy backs this story up. As they are close, the Jury isn’t fully convinced. But Kelani Adams brings in a retired Police Officer who was at the Cafe that day of which who also asked Sephy if she was okay when he saw Callum dragging her out of the Centre. He backs up Callum and Sephy’s story.
Sephy is unaware of her mother paying for the McGregors expenses and is wondering how they were able to afford them, whilst at the same time Callum is thinking about how he should thank her for doing this after what has been going on between them lately.
In the end, the Jury returns the decision that Ryan McGregor is guilty.
I believe that this is unfair due to the statements provided during this trial but they were obviously persuaded by the fact that seven innocent people were killed, if only they knew the truth.
