“It's a funny phenomenon. You can never visit your own funeral, but if you want to see how people feel about you, commit a crime.”
― The Execution of Noa P. Singleton

“But you see, the problem is that apologies are really just little weeds that grow over monuments and headstones. They keep coming back, but never stop ruining what lies beneath. If an apology is truly authentic, the pain is supposed to stop. Right?”
― The Execution of Noa P. Singleton
― The Execution of Noa P. Singleton
“Jury trials are really nothing more than poorly written stage plays. You’ve got two authors writing opposing narratives and a director who is paid not to care about either outcome. Hired actors sit on either end of the stage, while unwitting audience members strive to remain quiet. No applause should be rendered, no gasps of glory. Witnesses sit agape with fury as they stumble across their rehearsed lines. If only they had practiced just once more. If only they had more time or a dress rehearsal, then they would recite their packaged words with such eloquent delivery that the critics in the jury box would believe only them.”
― The Execution of Noa P. Singleton
