"Yeah, if only," Emmett agrees with a sigh of his own, shaking his head a little. He’d be short a case, but it wouldn’t matter. Mrs. King still being alive would be infinitely preferable to all of this. He just can’t let himself get too hung up on it that it gets in the way of his defending his client. It’s already difficult enough for King as it is, having just lost his wife and now being on trial for her murder. The least Emmett can do is make sure that he has the best representation possible, one thing he might then not have to worry about quite as much. "She’s the only person who’d really know what went on, other than the killer."
