Rita’s storyAs Belle was gathering the leftovers, Sarah rushed into the house, slamming the door hard, mumbling something and she had dirt all over her. I remained terrified at the thought that she carried her diabolical plan until the very end.

You couldn’t help it you unjustly punished the poor woman. She was your mother you freak! Those last words I shouted so hard that Sarah came out and faced me with hatred the kind I have never seen in her eyes before. She took a step closer to me and I could feel her stench as she didn’t clean herself yet. Her rough palm was holding my jaw forcing me to look at her. - Do you hate your life that much? Because if you do I can help you. You are not untouchable you know?- Maybe you don’t know the power of Adam Oakland and in what kind of circles he

Miron’s storyI could never lie to Corrine as she never lets herself lied to. Even if I want to hide something from her it is a lost battle from the very beginning. - Look Miron, I know you are frightened that bad things might happen to Rita. We all are. But we have to analyze this issue objectively, because if we let our subjectivism take control our thought we can make mistakes for sure. - You are always right, and that is why I chose you in my team to keep me afloat.- So, you wanted to tell me what has happened since I have been absent? - Yes, everything that happened these days stretched my nerves to the limit.

Against all odds Has the jury reached a verdict?
Miron's storyToday Sarah was going to have a big surprise. The court had summoned her brother to testify. And besides, there's a second T-shirt sprinkled with Jenna's blood. Jack led us to it and from there to its analysis and the establishment that it belonged to Sarah was just one step.People were resuming their seats on the benches. The atmosphere, I didn't know why it was tenser. Maybe because the weather was darker outside. It wasn't long before Sarah was brought in and we then heard the echo of the bailiff's voice.All rise!

Against all odds Who had the defendant killed?
Miron's storyJohn Maxwell came frightened through the benches right to the witness box, looking in all directions as if waiting for something to happen to him.

Of course, there were walks in the hospital yard but it was not the same.Like scared, he took the oath and took his seat. Again the defense had no questions. I can say that we were lucky that the lawyer didn't know the people and thus the time was shortened and it could only be in our favor.John, please tell us, who you are most afraid of?

Miron's storyAnd so the first bomb fell. We all watched Mandy dance with the baseball bat as if it were the most normal thing in the world. And that T-shirt that was presented and accepted as evidence in the file, was all my delight. From time to time I looked at Sarah, who could no longer find her seat in the chair next to her lawyer. I could say with all my heart that it was the final blow given to this criminal.The orthopedist managed to convince everyone that Sarah at the age of adolescence could easily have handled that bat and I would go even further and say that he also convinced the jurors. Their grimaces suggested many things and not exactly in favor of the defendant.Yesterday seemed to pass just as fast and today it was Father Maxwell’s turn to give statements. He had been summoned two days ago. The momen

I know it was not quoted but I could not prove otherwise that the bat can be easily handled by a 15-year-old child.

Even the baby had become agitated. Instinctively I put my hand on my belly as if wanting to protect him. I kind of guessed what questions would follow.Do we understand, Miss Sinclair, that the defendant here kidnapped your mother and confessed to killing her?Objection! He is misleading the witness!
