Chapter 29 Summary

The case is drawing to a close and the two lawyers give their closing arguments. Hooks begins by describing Kabuo as a calculating, cold-blooded killer, while Nels recounts Kabuo's account of events and paints a picture of Kabuo as an honorable war hero who should not be judged by his Japanese heritage. After that, the judge gives his final instructions to the jury and then dismisses them to deliberate the verdict.
