Detective Leon did not even know what to do. How was he going to explain this to his colleagues and superiors back at the station? He had been so positive of James Wendover's statement that all advice he had given him had fallen on deaf ears!
He believed the evidence before him and forgot the one thing that mattered, 'In the law court, the first person always sounded convincing before the counterargument was presented.' As a detective, he should have taken the facts and worded them through legal ways, and then apprehended the culprit the legal way.
He had also forgotten the 'innocent until proven guilty' analogy. He admitted that he had been prejudiced, thinking that the Thornstons had abused their power and were involved in many illegalities. Thinking back to his first few thoughts when Madam Geneva had marched up to him angry, he cringed.
