...about six weeks, you begin to get a puzzlement in the group. The case-aide brings the best of intentions.

There was the blank puzzlement on the faces of Collie Leroy Wilkins and his two accomplices after their conviction for violating the civil rights of Selma Marcher Viola Liuzzo, after they had been previously acquitted of murdering her.
