Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 104 Summary

  • Next up? Maxwell Hayes Lewis for the defense.
  • He knows a thing or two about a good opening argument, and he makes sure to add a douse of drama by wiping his brow every now and again.
  • He tells the jury that he wholeheartedly agrees with Jonah—race has absolutely nothing to do with the case.
  • But that's where the agreement ends.
  • Maxwell paints a different picture, one in which men went out on the town to clear up the matter of a girl being treated poorly.
  • Along the way, other men attacked them, so they shot people in self-defense.
  • He says this is the truth, plain and simple.
