Chapter 10: Simple Resolutions to a Complex Problem
Three weeks passed, and what couldn't be done in the whole time before that was done in a matter of days. The killers were caught, and both were sentenced to life in prison, one at the local jail, and the other to a mental hospital. Only 48 hours after being admitted, Adam Prescott was dead, suicide they said, but it would never be proven. He was found hanging from the ceiling after dinner by his roommate. Matt Shadore was not so lucky.
Tala Cale continued her racing career, and was later admitted to the hall of fame, but that wasn't for many years. She was the youngest person ever accepted, as well as the only person ever with a physical disability to be accepted. Her training techniques are now nationwide and have changed the art of horseracing.
Gil Grissom never saw Tala again after they had solved this particular mystery, and eventually had surgery to correct his impending deafness, which had remained a secret until the end. Simple solutions to complex problems? In the end two men were dead, anther injured. Two people locked away for the remainder of their lives, and another affected for life. Simple in its own right, yet so complex to the ones who lived it. Like Grissom said, no horsing around when people's lives are involved.
