Chapter 7: The Defense's Gambit
Eleanor's defense attorney attempted to spin a narrative of temporary insanity, arguing that the grief of losing her son and the pressure of financial ruin had triggered a psychotic break. They brought in psychiatrists and financial experts, trying to paint Eleanor as a victim of circumstance. But when it was Sarah’s turn to take the stand, the courtroom fell dead silent. She didn't speak with venom or vengeance. She spoke with a quiet, unshakeable dignity, recounting the events with factual precision. Her restraint was far more powerful than any dramatic outburst the defense could muster.
