Chapter 11 - Martin Reveals Carter Lied Too
Martin Hale requested a private meeting with investigators.
Carter’s uncle had something to disclose.
For years, Carter told me Martin could “make problems disappear.”
Martin said that was false.
Carter had exaggerated their relationship and Martin’s authority.
Once, Carter asked him about a domestic dispute involving “a client.”
Martin gave generic legal information.
Only later did he realize Carter had been asking about himself.
Martin produced an old text.
If a spouse doesn’t report immediately, bruises don’t mean much, right?
Martin had answered:
That is not how evidence works. If this is about you, get counsel and
stop contacting me informally.
Carter never showed me that reply.
He only told me:
“My uncle says nobody believes delayed accusations.”
The revelation made me furious.
May you like
Carter’s greatest weapon had not been his uncle’s power.
It had been my belief in it.
