Un judici de pedra

Eunice Parchman murdered the Coverdale family because she could not read or write. Of motives, he had none, nor did he do it with premeditation; he won nothing, neither money nor security. As a result of his crime, the whole country learned of his ignorance, not just a family or a group of villagers. Eunice got nothing out of it, except her misfortune, which she knew from the beginning, in some corner of her strange mind. Even though her partner and accomplice was crazy, Eunice was normal. She possessed the terrible and practical atavistic lucidity of the ape, under the guise of a 20th century woman.
