About this title
Synopsis
Marisol Ybarra types two hundred and twenty words a minute and has never been caught in an error. In Dunmore County that matters, because her transcript is the trial. Once she certifies it, what she typed is what was said. Proofing the Kessling murder transcript for appeal, she reaches a cross examination she remembers clearly. Four lines are there that she never heard. They are good lines, helpful to the state, and they sit exactly where the defense's best moment used to be. Her stenotype notes are in a box in the basement. Nobody has asked for them in fourteen years. The appeal is filed in nine days.
Who this is about
Marisol Ybarra has been the official court reporter in Dunmore County for fourteen years, and her certification has never once been challenged by a lawyer, a judge or an appeals panel.
What goes wrong
Proofing the certified transcript of a murder trial for the appeal, she finds four lines of testimony she did not take down, placed exactly where the defense needed them to vanish.
What's at stake
Reporting it accuses the people she has worked beside every day for fourteen years. Staying quiet leaves a man serving life on four sentences carrying her seal.
Why it keeps going
The appeal is filed in nine days, whoever changed the file still has the password to it, and every backup she checks has already been made to match.
Takeaway
A record is only as honest as the last person willing to say it was altered.
