Murphy’s closing statement was very powerful,
and right on point, about how other women can become victims of Roy’s violence.
However, I can understand Pam’s doubts of Roy not being convicted. Roy’s lawyer is so slimy that
he would do anything to poke holes in Murphy’s
statement, to cause doubt in the jury.
At least Jim had the foresight to come up with
a plan to take Pam away in case things don’t
go their way.
I would love to see perhaps a chapter, or an epilogue, that takes place in the future where
we can see what has happened in JAM’s
life after the trial. Perhaps a C&P cameo.🤔
Yes, I have to admit that I would like to know
what could have happened to Roy, Kenny,
and even Karen, in the future as well.
You can call it morbid curiosity.
Lots of teapots for you.

After all this, it is extremely satisfying reading Murphy just tearing Roy's defense to shreds. Nice dramatic moment and some solid fan service, too. And of course Roy can't hold his temper even with years of his life on the line... how is anyone on the jury going to believe what he has to say?
And as always, I appreciate that you're acknowledging the fundamental inability of the justice system to address these wrongs - seeing Roy convicted will cost Pam so much, and it won't even begin to undo all the harm he's done. It's certainly not the end of the story, even if it's the end of our story.

Well done for Murphy painting such a clear narrative in his closing statement. Especially reminding the jury of the various outbursts Roy has had in the courtroom. I get why Pam is scared Roy will walk. In her experience Roy has never been held accountable for any of his actions, so why would that change now? Though considering how things have gone, I don't think there's any chance he'll get off.
Lots of big emotions with Pam, but it seems like she's able to deal with them a lot easier. Rather than the waves of some storm crashing over the sides of her boat and threatening to swamp it, the boat she's on cuts through them and continues on. The waves are still very much there, but she is managing the wave rather than being tossed by them. The reason I say that is because she admits she feels safe with Jim. It feels like it's been a long time since she's felt safe, so for her to admit that shows the kind of progress she's made.
As for what I would like to see going forward. Roy being locked away forever is of course number one. Roy's mother being read the riot act by everyone who cares for Pam would be another thing. However this is of course your story and you're free to write it as you will. Nice job as always.
