Macavity had not been seen out of his penthouse all day, pacing back and forth rather than attempting to get anything done.
He couldn't go to the courthouse, in case it made things too obvious. It was possible he might have been able to get in, but they were being careful for fear of somecat trying to kill the accused and he couldn't risk being strongly associated with Brachen, at least not then. Especially if his backup plan had to be put into gear.

Coricopat stepped off of the lift, he really didn't want to be the one to deliver this news, but he and Munkustrap had spoken briefly after the trial and both had determined that it would be better for now if it was Cori who let Mac know.

Macavity turned at the sound of pawsteps, striding over to open the door himself.

Cori had really been hoping for a moment longer to gather his thoughts, "Mac."

"Well?" he managed to get out.

The ADA dropped his gaze, "Guilty. The jury recommended he be punished to the full extent of the law."

For a long moment Macavity just stood in the doorway, before he back up, sitting down in the chair hard.

Cor came as far as the doorway, stopping there, "I'm sorry, Mac."

Mac shook his head slightly. "You couldn't have done more. You had ta, or you'd be out your job and I need you there ta much. Besides, you could have thrown the case and the jury would've voted that way anyway..." or so he would damn well tell himself as much as he had to.

The mottled tom swallowed, nodding slightly, "Is there anything I can do, Mac?"

For a long moment Macavity considered him and shook his head. "No, you did..." enough. "All you could. Take a few nights off. Things are quiet 'cause of the trial and you look exhausted."

Cor's ears lay back slightly, but he nodded, "Alright. I'll be at the house if you need me for anything. Take care, Macavity." He slipped out, taking the lift down and returning to Fourth Street.
((Exit Coricopat))

Macavity watched him go, trying to calm the roiling mass of emotions in his chest, before rising and dealing with any of the last minute preparations he needed to make.
