Chapter 14 - The text to Daniel


At 2:51 p.m., while I was still downstairs talking to my uncle, Bethany texted Daniel.
Rosie saw the bracelet.
Daniel replied:
What bracelet?
Bethany:
Mom’s. I was moving it.
Daniel:
Why are you touching Mom’s jewelry?
No response for five minutes.
Then:
She’s making a scene. I’m handling it.
Daniel:
Beth. Put it back.
Bethany:
I SAID I’M HANDLING IT.
That did not prove the assault.

It did prove Bethany knew Rosie had seen the bracelet.
The “child imagined it” defense weakened.
