Chapter 20 - Maisie's Testimony
On the sixth day of trial, Maisie’s pre-recorded video testimony was broadcast on the large courtroom monitors.
The child looked calm, composed, and radiant, sitting beside her mother in a bright yellow dress with her hair tied in twin ribbons.
She answered every question from the prosecutor with remarkable clarity and honesty, describing how she had been locked in the maintenance shed on the wedding day.
When asked why she hadn't told her father sooner, Maisie looked directly into the camera lens with heartbreaking wisdom.
“Because Vivian said if I told Daddy, he would stop loving us both,” Maisie stated clearly.
