Rita's story
Just as I had told Miron, I decided to pay a visit to my friends Gloria and Paul. They went to see me in the hospital but we couldn't talk because they wouldn't let anyone else in but Miron. This was because they thought they would do no more harm than good to my condition. And to be honest, I really missed them, Gloria's coffee, and Paul's jokes. I missed everyone in my life when I was abducted and kept in those inhumane conditions.
I caught Gloria in the garden taking care of the wonderful flowers I missed so much. When she saw me, the bouquet of roses that she was probably preparing to put in a vase in the house fell from her hand directly on the ground warmed by the timid rays of the sun. My favorite season was about to begin, summer.
- Rita, my dear Rita. How ha

Miron's storyWe were ready! Everything was well set up and the prosecutor arranged his last documents in his briefcase. He knew the lawyer appointed to defend Sarah very well. He said that the lawyer could only make a good defense if he thinks Sarah was indeed innocent. That was not the case here. The evidence was far too advanced and true, but he had to do his job.So I decided to observe everything from the shadows. Rita was also preparing to go to court. The big day had arrived; the day when Sarah will begin to pay for every crime of hers, every tear of those she left in pain and longing for their loved ones. Every sleepless night they had due to the nightmare she had created.Honey, do you know if citations were sent to Gloria and Paul as well?
Against all odds The trial
Miron's story Sarah's audacity was unacceptable. But soon she would be overwhelmed and we would live a quiet life. We deserved to be happy and leave with each other without fear.The jurors were from various fields, they were twenty. This group of citizens is empowered by law to conduct legal proceedings, investigate potential criminal conduct, and determine whether criminal charges should be brought. In Sarah Johnson's case, all the charges were valid. It was only a matter of time before she was imprisoned.It should be noted then that the State vs. Sarah Johnson's trial will now begin. Counselor, you may speak now!Thank you, your honor. I will s
Against all odds The witness is yours!
Miron's storyThe first day in court was a chaotic one and although we didn't talk that much we understood that it won't be so easy for us to breakthrough. If Sarah's lawyer invoked madness, she could spend the rest of her life in a psychiatric unit instead of prison. Which wouldn't be right. Michael assured us that this would not happen on the grounds that our evidence was overwhelming and no jury would overlook it. However, Rita was also rightly worried.Miron, you know that I'm not ok with what I heard yesterday. I hope that today things will take a turn in our favor.Definitely yes, Rita, don't be afraid, please. Today is your day and I am convinced that you will have no difficulty in convincing the jurors of the ordeal you have be

Miron's storyRita was already late in answering. Maybe she realized the lawyer's clever move too, but being under oath she couldn't lie. Nevertheless, Rita was always telling the truth. The jurors were watching and listening, especially the one in the left corner.Miss Sinclair? Shall I repeat the question?Oh, no, no need, I'm sorry... Sarah, as a child, was a normal one like any other child except she always took the initiative. She was... casual and independent, so to speak. She was sociable but as far as I know, she had family problems.What kind of problems?
Against all odds Sarah's end is near, I can feel it!
Rita's storyThe prosecutor's questions hurt me extremely, but I knew I had to answer them. That's the only way I could punish Sarah. It was cruel to remember everything I went through in that warehouse and then to all the places Sarah carried me over but if that was the only way to put her behind bars then I had little choice. Even the baby had become agitated. Instinctively I put my hand on my belly as if wanting to protect him. I kind of guessed what questions would follow.Do we understand, Miss Sinclair, that the defendant here kidnapped your mother and confessed to killing her?Objection! He is misleading the witness!
Against all odds Miron to the stand
Miron's storyYesterday passed quickly. As we had agreed, we cooked together and fell asleep faster than we expected. Rita was really tired but they didn't need her today, so she just accompanied me. I still tried to get her to stay home to rest but she flatly and elegantly refused me.Love, my place is next to you for better or worse. I promise if I start to feel unwell I'll ask Peter to bring me home.Okay, I'll take your word for it. Shall we go?Let's go.It didn't take us ten minutes to get to court. Michael, as usual, was waiting for us in the hall. We were invited in and the same protocol

Miron's storyThe days started to go by so fast that we don't even have time to breathe. Today, Rita's aunt, Darla, was called to the witness box. She came to us first. I offered to come and get her, but she refused. It was clear that she was nervous, but she would have to get over it and tell Sarah's relationship with both her parents and her sister, Lucy, in great detail.But she was very happy when she saw Rita again. They hadn't seen each other in years so they cried and hugged for minutes. They talked about Lucy, how much she loved life and how much she loved Rita. It's just that fate has been very hostile to them.Miron, Rita, I'm scared! It hurts so much to talk about Lucy that I'm afraid of making a mistake.
