I Accidentally Killed the Classmate Who Assaulted Me and Was Ultimately Found Not GuiltyI accidentally killed the classmate who assaulted me.

In the interrogation room, I buried my face in my hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

With police officers escorting me, I walked out of the courthouse.

In a quiet, unnoticed corner, I wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes and let a faint, triumphant smile spread across my lips.
