8. I had noticed his demeanor in the court room

I tried shake it off as being biased. He shows no remorse, just sits there...until he stands proudly to be identified by various witnesses. Buttoning and straightening his coat jacket. He looks dispassionately at photographs of TM laying face down in the grass.

His demeanor following the shooting, when he interacted with those he came in contact with..."I had to shoot, it was self defense." like acting a role in a movie as the accused hero. He didn't even look back at the person he just shot. It's hard to say what I would do in that situation, but I believe I would feel remorse having been forced to take a life. I would be shaking myself, having been so close to death. He instead plays his role. Reality challenged?

I can't shake it.
