Reading from Thursday, October 16

Today I read from page 288-346. It begins with two agents from the Memphis PD coming with a summons for Mark to be taken into custody, and then a private hearing about the events of Jerome's death. Dianne almost prevents him from leaving, but is knocked to the ground by one of the agents. The rest of the time Mark is being taken to the Detention facility, he pokes fun at the two agents calling them "meathead" many a time. Reggie, Mark's lawyer, is notified of the hearing exactly 56 minutes before it is planned to commence. Near the start, Mr. Thomas Fink, the petitioner, gets on the bad side of the judge by asking routine questions and forgetting to place his witness under oath. After his first witness, Mr. Fink himself asks to testify, and his honor thinks about it while enjoying his lunch. About half-way through eating, he tells Mr. Fink to stay seated, but that he may talk.
