The announcement was made at exactly nine o'clock the following morning.
It lasted less than three minutes.
Yet before the President's Press Secretary stepped away from the podium...
Valenridge had already begun arguing with itself.
"The President has authorized an immediate judicial review of the conviction of Mr. Doria"
The room erupted with questions. The secretary raised a hand.
"Pending that review, Mr.Dorian will be released on conditional bail under federal supervision." Another wave of shouting followed.
"Does this mean the President believes he's innocent?" Is this political interference?"
"Why now?" The secretary answered only once.
"The President believes justice deserves the opportunity to correct itself."Then he left.
Within minutes every television station interrupted its regular programming. Every radio presenter had an opinion.
Every newspaper rushed out special editions. Social media exploded.
