SCENE 7
In the months that followed, the case against Frederick Paul did not
run smoothly. The outcome largely hinged on Patricia’s eyewitness account of
what she had seen that evening. Her testimony sealed the fate of Frederick
Paul, who, despite asserting his innocence throughout, eventually pleaded guilty
to manslaughter rather than risk facing the death penalty, and received a 10-year
sentence. Although the case was then closed following sentencing, the story did
not end there…
Frederick was unable to come to terms with serving time, and was an
easy target for inmates; from the outset he endured relentless bullying in
prison. Frederick Paul served less than a month inside before prison officers
found him hanging in his cell.
