The Aftermath of The Murder of Mrs Elaine Peacock:

It was judgement day for Reverend Barry Mustard who was a resident at Mansfield Gardens on Carvery Court and was now on trial for murdering fellow resident Mrs Elaine Peacock.

"I'd like to call Reverend Barry Mustard to the stand" said the barrister.
Barry made his way to the stand.

"Reverend Mustard how long did you know Mrs Peacock" he asked.
"Since childhood" he explained.
"I see!" said the barrister.

"Could you kindly tell the court what happened that night?" the barrister enquired.
Barry nodded.
"We were in the lounge. Mrs Peacock was accusing me of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager as well as using our local Parish church for drug dealing and prostitution. She threatened me by saying that she would write a letter to Father Tony Green the owner of Mansfield Gardens. In a fit of rage I strangled her as she was going to ruin my career and reputation!" he told the court.
"Thank you Reverend Mustard" said the barrister as Barry was escorted back to the defence box accompanied by a prison officer.
After the defence and prosecution barristers had given their closing statements. The jury went and deliberated their verdict.
The next day dawned
"Could the defendant please stand" said the usher.
Barry stood up.

"Could the foreman of the jury stand" the usher asked.
The foreman of the jury stood up.
"Have you all reached a verdict that you all agree?" the usher questioned.
"Yes!" said the foreman of the jury.
"Do you find the defendant Reverend Barry Edward Mustard guilty or not guilty for the murder of Mrs Elaine Maureen Peacock?" the usher queried.

"Guilty!" the foreman of the jury responded.
"Reverend Barry Mustard you've been found guilty of the murder of Mrs Elaine Peacock. I sentence you to the gallows where you'll hung by the neck until death" the judge ordered.
Barry had shown no remorse for the crime he'd committed as in his opinion Elaine was going to ruin his career and reputation for the so called lies that Elaine would reveal to Father Tony Green and was absolutely petrified of the consequences of what may happen. In his mind he'd done the right thing.
