Adam knew it was all true. He and Goodman decided not to
ask Nugent any questions. Little could be gained from it.
Roxburgh’s next witness was Sergeant Clyde Packer. Adam
was not surprised at the effect of Packer’s evidence. He was an
honest man who simply told what he’d seen. He’d known Sam
for nine and a half years, and the prisoner was the same today as
when he’d first arrived. He typed letters and law papers all day
long, read many books, especially legal ones. In Packer’s humble
opinion, Sam was as mentally active now as he’d been nine and a
half years ago. And his mind was very quick.
