ABSTRACT
In a final effort, joining forces with judges and detectives, I will once again work back from testimony to the hidden acts of silence, pretension, distraction, affront, and deceit. Having viewed the agendas of the opposing parties, the detachment of the questioner, and the faithful industry of the record-keepers, the excitement of peeping into the courtroom and watching the witnesses in action awaits us in the present chapter, which is facilitated by a methodologically novel way of reading judicial records.
