Frank stared at the sealed envelope. “It changes everything?” The judge nodded. “It was delivered to the courthouse less than an hour after yesterday’s hearing.” “By law, I couldn’t consider it because the record had already closed.” She looked at Eric. “But after reading it, I knew I couldn’t pretend it didn’t exist.” Frank carefully…
