Chapter 22 - The Courtroom Showdown
The final day of the federal criminal trial drew hundreds of spectators and national television news crews.
Nurse Martha took the stand, her voice steady and clear as she described the horrifying scene in the bathroom.
The prosecution played the full high-definition video recorded on Martha's phone on massive court monitors.
The entire courtroom watched in stunned, heavy silence as Vivian drenched the shivering six-year-old child in cold water.

Several jury members wiped away tears, glaring at Vivian with intense, unyielding disgust.
Vivian slumped in her leather chair, her high-priced defense lawyers sitting in utter silence beside her.
