Chapter 10 - Celina says she was defending herself
Celina’s story shifted.
First:
She never hit me.
Then:
The rolling pin struck my leg accidentally when I fell.
Then, after the recording and medical reconstruction:
She had swung it toward my leg but only to stop me from kicking her.
The kitchen had no video camera covering the exact angle.
So physical sequence depended on:
My statement.
Her statement.
Barron.
Luke.
Audio.
Medical injury.
And later digital evidence.
Barron eventually told investigators:
“Celina swung.”
That mattered.
“Was Clover attacking her?”
“No.”
“Did Clover kick?”
“Not before.”
“Why did Celina swing?”
Barron paused.
“She was angry.”
That probably ended any realistic accidental-contact defense.
May you like
Celina never forgave him for saying it.
Maybe that was the first useful thing he had done.
