..This is the sequel to the painting , 'Waiting for The Verdict ' . Solomon sets the drama in a provincial town during the assizes . The settings , costume and accessories are all painted with great attention to detail . Solomon reveals the family's relief now that the man has been acquitted . It seems he was wrongly accused or the victim of a malicious charge .In the background a bystander points accusingly at a man leaving the courthouse .
