"Okay, Jacob, you're doing so good, just one more thing, okay?" Jacob shook his head. "Do you remember where you were going with David the night before Izza was murdered?"

"I was at home with my brother," Jacob said.

Detective Evans understood, "Okay, and did you ever had any problems with Izza?"

Jacob shrugged, "I didn't hurt Izza, I swear I didn't hurt her," Jacob said, before he cried.

"Jacob, it's okay, I am here for you," I explained.

"I didn't kill anyone," Jacob said. I took a deep breath, and sighed, "Jacob won't be answering anymore questions," I said to Detective Evans.

Detective Evans sighed, understanding, shaking his head, and I rubbed Jacob's back.

"I'm scared," Jacob said, crying.

"I know, and I am going to do everything I can to help you," I said to Jacob.

"I'm sorry, but Jacob is gonna have to stay in jail overnight, until he has a court arraignment in the morning," Detective Sailor said.

"My brother literally said he's not responsible for killing Izza. I don't see how he has to spend the night in jail?"

"Well unfortunately I am sorry, but it is what it is, and Jacob will see Judge Mathis in the morning, and will be released on bail," Detective Sailor explained.

"What?" I asked, shockingly.

"Jacob is a suspect, and I don't need to prosecute him, shall I?" Detective Sailor asked.

I didn't know what to say next, and Jacob was begging for me to not make him go to jail.

"I'll be back in the morning, I promised," I said to Jacob.

"Please don't leave me," Jacob said, as he began to cry once again.

I was heartbroken for Jacob, and I took a deep breath and sighed deeply. "I will be back in the morning, I will pay for your bail and you will be released as soon as possible.I am not going to let you down, I promise," I said to Jacob.

"I'm scared," Jacob said, once again.

"I know, I am scared, too."

"What if I am not going back home?"

"I am not going to let the court decide what to do with you. I am your brother, I am going to protect you," I said to Jacob.

Jacob understood, shaking his head, "I'll see you tomorrow," I said, once again. Jacob took a deep breath and sighed, and he was still in handcuffs and Detective Sailor and Detective Evans both took Jacob to a jail cell.

I left the interrogation room feeling upset. I was trying not to be a pain. It's true though detectives don't like seeing a lawyer cry, no matter how badly you feel about the situation when it comes to one of my clients like Jacob who are committed to murder.

After I arrived back home, I sighed. I marched into the kitchen as I took off my suit jacket and untied my tie. I went up to the refrigerator and got out a bottle of water.

I sighed, opened the tap, took a couple of sips and I closed the refrigerator.

I thought of becoming a homicide detective. I grew up with both my parents being detectives.

I remember my mother asking me what I wanted to be when I got older. I wanted to become a detective badly, but then I had a change of heart by the time I graduated high school.

I knew from day one that I was meant to be a lawyer. If my parents were still alive, they would be proud of me.

I was talking to Mandy Butler. I was explaining to Mandy about Jacob was being charge for a murder. I sighed, sitting down on my couch and I told Mandy that I was worried.

Mandy felt bad for me, and Mandy explained to me how Jacob was like a brother to Mandy and how much Mandy loved Jacob.

I explained to Mandy how I felt about Jacob being charged with a crime.

I felt scared.

The day after Jacob's arrest, he and I were at the arraignment, Judge Henry was reading the criminal charges against Jacob (now called the "defendant"), and asked Jacob whether they understood the charges (regardless of whether they agree with them).

Jacob will be notified of the charges against them and their right to have an attorney, which is myself. Jacob may either plead guilty or not guilty. Upon pleading guilty, the judge will proceed directly to sentencing.

"How does the defendant plead?" Judge Henry asked.

Since Jacob was learning to be patient in court, trying not to get too hyper, I know how the law works sometimes when it comes to a kid who's disabled,

Jacob said, "I-I didn't do it," Jacob said.

Jacob is made fully aware of possible loss of freedom or of life. He is informed why the prosecuting arm of the State is mobilized against him.

Judge Mathis will then make a decision or will review the decision about bail. Jacob may be released on their own recognizance or may be told to post a certain amount of bail.

Finally, Judge Mathis has announced the court dates for the preliminary hearing, pre-trial motions, and trial.

Shortly after I contacted Mandy once again, she could tell I was frustrated by what was happening. Mandy told me to take some deep breaths and I did. I met Mandy in law school, Mandy is also a public defender.

I explained to Mandy I lost one case with one of my clients, and Mandy can understand what it's like to lose a client I have a close relationship with.

I closed my eyes, inhaling my breath, and slowly exhaling. I opened my eyes and I thanked Mandy for being a good friend. "It is my pleasure," Mandy said, softly.

I chuckled back. I wished Mandy a thank you once again. Mandy was understanding what I was going through.

"Of course," Mandy said, before Mandy and I hung up the phone, and I went back inside the courthouse to pick up Jacob after he was being released on bail.
