At 42:50 · chapter starts 41:45
The verdict came six days before Christmas: guilty on all counts. Paul Hicks threw his head back in apparent disbelief. For Carl Patrick, it was the best moment of his life multiplied by ten. Jennifer Donenworth felt Regina's presence in the courtroom, as if her soul had always known justice would come. Chuck Rowe never took his eyes off Paul throughout the trial. Steve Gates, asked what it was like testifying with Paul staring at him, said simply: 'I didn't care. I don't care about him anymore.' The judge sentenced Paul to 25 years to life in prison; the case is under appeal.

Jennifer Donenworth said she felt Regina's presence in the courtroom. They got what they had fought for — but Regina's mother never did.
