The resemblance was remarkable. Barbara's nose was more petite, Candy's wider. The hair color was an exact match, as was the style. Candy had a mole just above her lip. There were some subtle differences around the eyes and chin. And some other physical differences as well. But it was like I was talking to my ex-girlfriend.I have been charged with murder, Candy said as if the admission pained her. She sat her purse in the empty chair and clasped her hands in her lap, staring at me like she was trying to figure me out.Who?My husband, Candy said, her voice catching slightly as if she still could not accept it.There was something behind her eyes as she spoke, but I couldn't make out what it was.Grief at his death? Relief he was gone?I could not tell.When did this happen?Four months ago.I arched an eyebrow. Most clients contacted me right after their arrest. This meant Candy was already represented and not happy with her attorney.You're just coming to me now?My other attorney is not working out.
