Chapter 13 - High-Stakes Trial Begins At County Courthouse
Months later, the criminal trial of Vanessa Cross commenced at the county supreme courthouse before a packed gallery of reporters and legal analysts. Vanessa sat at the defense table in a plain orange jumpsuit, her former glamorous lifestyle stripped away entirely.
The prosecution’s star witness, six-year-old Lily, took the witness stand accompanied by Clara, pointing out Vanessa to the judge. The jury listened in rapt attention as the young child innocently described finding the hidden cushion box inside the closet, destroying the defense's arguments completely.
