Jason’s right hand tenderly caressed her face. He broke the silence with an uncharacteristically gentle inquiry, “Lost the case?”

That just didn’t make any sense. The court proceedings had only just begun. Estrella was charging the defendant with intentional harm and murder. Such a lawsuit wouldn’t usually be resolved so quickly.
