“Up till yesterday, all I had in my head was an idea about him. He was the thing that hurt my little girl. And I didn't mind what y'all did to that thing. But what changed me was I looked at his face. Did you look? I mean really look? Not glance. Not a quick peek. I mean look?"
"Well, Mr. Derrick, I looked. Real good. Real hard. I looked at him. His eyes had tears in em. And I saw hurt and fear, and it changed me. And when he leaves court tomorrow, I hope he'll know somebody looked at him and didn't see a thing or an idea or a label but a man with a soul. And a man with a child. Even if y'all put a hard sentence on him, I hope he'll know somebody saw his face. The Eye of God sees it. Sees you and me too.”
