Part 7, Chapter 30 Summary: “Campbell”

Campbell normally sneak aways from his partners while they sleep, but finds himself wanting to stay with Julia. However, he does slip away near dawn because he has to be in court. When Campbell arrives at the courthouse, there is a large number of reporters waiting for him and the Fitzgeralds. When he finds Sara, he learns that Anna has not arrived yet. Julia tells Campbell that Anna’s absence is proof that she doesn’t want to go forward with the hearing.

Campbell finds Anna at the hospital. He stops on the way to the courthouse to ask her once more if she is certain this case is what she wants. She asks him again why he has a service dog. Campbell tells a story about nerve damage in his ear, and Anna tells him that she wants things to be about her for once. He accuses her of lying, and she does the same.

Judge DeSalvo is annoyed by Campbell and Anna’s late arrival, but agrees to continue with the hearing. In the courtroom, Campbell asks to make opening remarks. In his remarks, he stresses that the case is about the thin line between what is legal and what is moral.
