Not because Dana looked frightening.
Because she blamed herself.
The prosecutor asked:
“Why did you record your kitchen?”
“I thought my daughter was being given something.”
“Did you report your concern to law enforcement at the time?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I convinced myself firing her was enough.”
Then defense.
“You cannot identify what liquid was in the cup.”
“No.”
“You never tested it.”
“No.”
“You allowed Dana to leave your home rather than calling police.”
“Yes.”
“You later deleted the recording.”
“I thought I did.”
“So today, years later, you are relying on memory?”
“On memory and the audio.”
Good answer.
