"It's going to be on the 10th"
the warden grinned while clanking his heavy baton on the bars.
Staring into space and ignoring the warden, she felt it doesn't make any difference when is the next trial.
Suddenly the events of yesterday replayed and she swears she could smell the split coffee when her lawyer threw the newspaper to the table.
"I won't go with you! You're on your own"
He said it with such cold hatred that she doubts that he will go back on his decision. So now she is left with just the other novice lawyer. She isn't convinced that he would do any good because all the previous trials was handled by the more seasoned lawyer, the one who left her.
Well, that surely would have to suffice.
She is unsure whether God would help out criminals, but this time she hopes He does.

I think there's a huge difference between criminals and sinners.
You're a criminal once you've committed a crime. A crime is an action that violates the law, as defined by the society. And society could sometimes be unfair or unjust in defining what is a crime and what's not.
While sinners are those who commit an act that are against divine law. Since it's divine, one could or would argue that it is just.
Anyway, I don't see why God wouldn't help a criminal. Especially if the said criminal is punished by an unjust law.
And I don't think she'll ever be on her own for as long as she got faith (in herself and in God).
Yes, I also think that is true. Crimes are defined by society or someone who happens to be the judge. Criminals are not necessarily sinners. Look at Robin Hood ;)
Whatever it is, it is comforting to know that ultimately everything would fall into place because God is Just. However, WHEN that will happen is another matter altogether..
