Another officer had testified on the crime scene. Among the prosecutor’s witnesses was a narcotics officer who had investigated Korpi’s cocaine business based on the initial intelligence that Suhonen had gathered. An organized crime specialist from the National Bureau of Investigation had also made the list. The door opened and both women startled. “It’s time,” said the bailiff. “The court calls Mari Lehtonen. Room 001.” “Alright, then,” said Joutsamo as Lehtonen rose. “Just try to relax.” “Yeah. I will.” Joutsamo was glad to see a display of resoluteness from Mari. The sergeant remained seated as Mari followed the bailiff out. At the end of a short hallway they came to the door leading into the courtroom. The bailiff opened it and let Lehtonen inside. She felt confused, lingering at a small wooden table by the door, her eyes scanning the courtroom.
