Her name is Rosalind Vey.

She does criminal defence and she has an office above a dry cleaner in Oak Park and she is about sixty and she took my call on a Tuesday afternoon and let me talk for eleven minutes without interrupting.

And then she said: “Okay.

First thing.

Have you been interviewed?”

“Three times.”

“By whom?”

“Hospital social work, DCFS twice, and a detective once.”
