Chapter 28 - Denise’s Name

Outside prison, Helen attended a small legal ceremony organized by the innocence clinic.

Denise Carter’s record had already been cleared.

This was not a state spectacle.

Just family and advocates placing corrected court documents into archival records.

Tasha participated by video.

A framed photograph of Denise stood near the podium.

Helen remained in the back.

Tasha noticed.

“Why are you hiding?”

Helen answered through the screen,

“Because today isn’t about me.”

Tasha nodded.

“Good answer.”

Denise’s name was read without the word convicted beside it.

That was enough.
