Chapter 4 – The Trial
Six months later...
Claire entered the courthouse in a wheelchair.
Every television station in Connecticut was waiting.
Inside the courtroom, Ethan looked thinner.
Older.
Afraid.
The prosecution played the video.
Not once.
Three times.
The jury watched every frame.
Carol cried.
Richard stared at the floor.
Neither parent looked at Claire.
Then came Dylan's testimony.
Then Lauren's.
For years she had protected her husband.
Not anymore.
She revealed years of abuse.
Threats.
Violence.
Financial fraud.
The courtroom listened in complete silence.
Finally...
The judge asked Ethan if he wished to speak.
He stood.
Looked toward Claire.
"I'm sorry."
Claire met his eyes.
"No."
"You are sorry you got caught."

The courtroom remained silent.
Because everyone knew she was right.
