Résumé :
At the sound of the gavel an instant hush fell over the courtroom as Alice Wray and her attorney stood up to hear the judge's sentencing. All eyes were on Alice Wray who stood straight, face masked in indifference, not a noticeable tear in her eyes. Alice Wray would you like to address the court before sentencing? Judge Ellis asked. There was dead silence in the courtroom Everyone seemed to be holding their breath as the barely audible whispered words of Alice Wray were heard, No, thank you. Judge Ellis frowned. Well, I would like to say something, he said. Never, in all my years on the bench, which amounts to a total of twenty-two years, have I witnessed such a senseless and deliberate act of murder. . It grieves me to think a mother could be capable of killing her own innocent children. Alice Wray you are hereby sentenced to life in prison without benefit of parole.
