Re: Lady In Waiting Question

To be clear, the coroner's inquest was not a trial of Beth Chadwick. It was strictly a determination of how Bryce Chadwick came to his death. The jury ruled his death an accident. But if further evidence emerges to establish that he was in fact murdered, then the murderer should certainly be put on trial. The fact that the coroner's jury reached the wrong conclusion about the cause of death (based on incomplete information presented to them at the time) shouldn't mean that a murderer gets a free pass.
