Chapter 13 - Claire's Defense Attorney Tries a Desperate Legal Trick
“Your Honor, we move to suppress the nanny camera footage on grounds of unlawful wiretapping without prior consent,” the defense argued.
Judge Harrison looked up over his half-moon reading glasses, unimpressed by the desperate legal maneuver.
“Counselor, the camera was installed in a common residential area by the homeowner to monitor household safety,” the judge replied.
“Furthermore, the footage contains direct evidence of ongoing felonious child abuse; suppression is legally impossible,” the judge added.
Claire slumped back in her chair, realizing her lawyer’s final lifeline had just been snapped in half.
Across the aisle, Sarah watched the proceedings with a cool, collected expression that showed zero sympathy.
Daniel didn't look at Claire once; his eyes remained fixed on the judge’s desk, praying for a chance at redemption.
“Motion to suppress is denied in its entirety,” Judge Harrison declared, banging his gavel sharply against the block.
