I observe you contemplating, why? Do you wonder, if what you didn't see was the social justice you were expected to bear witness to? Perhaps, you already knew, that internal departments and there allegiance to \"blind justice\" under oath tips the iron scales of law and policy from how we should sustain humanity to furthering the misrepresentation of individual freedom, justice and equality of the \"people, person and citizen.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first serial and unnerving story by Dwayne Arthur Jones, who welcomes you to Lincoln Country, home of the witness, a town you cannot escape from. It is now twenty years later, the beginning of a story that never ended. The victims are older, the innocent are guilty, and testimonies of unknown witnesses are presumed dead. The crime scene has been reduced to faulty memories, abstract illustrations, and storyboard images, along with misplaced documents and a signed confession of one defendant who committed the murders and the only witness, who takes the stand under oath, confronting the killer in silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilence harms the injured, not the offender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not treat silence as a defense, a weapon used to avoid victim accountability.
