Lovely ending. Thank you for sharing this lovely story. It had a moving ending that was not big and not a low. It was well balance to the point it was not over folks head. Very good work at this. Good luck with your future stories.

What does Tim's TS nature have to do with the crime against Allison? Did he witness the attack en femme?

There's an implication from Tim's note that he was a previous victim of the defendant, but a claim to that effect would be even harder to prove than the current case, and at best barely relevant to Allison's attack anyway. If he previously attacked Tina for being Tim, it wouldn't say anything about this case except that he was potentially violent, since Allison's situation wasn't analogous. If he attacked Tim during a gay relationship, it'd have even less in common with this case. And if he was dating Tina and attacked her not knowing she was Tim, the attacker could still claim that Tim brought it upon himself, dating under false pretenses.

Regardless, it doesn't seem that Tim could prove an attack occurred whatever the circumstances, since he would have concealed it at the time and never reported any injuries. I suppose it'd run slightly in Tim's favor, from a credibility standpoint, that he was outing himself as Tina in court, but I can't see where it would be enough to make the attacker plead guilty to Allison's death. (And if he had in fact been dating as Tina, the defense would argue that Tim's TS status would have come out sooner or later anyway.)
