Chapter 13 - Daniel Testifies Against His Mother On The Witness Stand
On the third day of the trial, Daniel was called to the witness stand by the prosecution to deliver his sworn testimony. He took the oath with a firm, steady voice, taking his seat in the wooden witness box while looking directly at the jury.
"My mother chose her financial greed and pride over the life of my wife and unborn child," Daniel testified, his voice clear and unwavering. "She pushed Emma down those stairs without a second thought, and she tried to cover up her crimes by destroying the evidence."

The defense attempted to cross-examine him by asking if he still loved his mother, but Daniel answered with profound clarity. "Love requires truth and safety; she brought violence and deceit into my home, and she must face the legal consequences of her choices," Daniel stated.
His testimony left a powerful impression on the entire courtroom, destroying any remaining sympathy the jury might have felt for the defendant. Martha wept silently at her table, realizing she had permanently lost her son’s respect.
