Chapter 9

It is about an hour before the trial and Andy is helping Lu get ready.

"Lu, are you ready to do this?" Andy asks "Andy, I am ready," Lu says with tears filling her eyes "Lu, are you sure you wont break in there? I know that this has to be very hard for you"
"Yes, you are right, it is hard, but I want him put in jail!" Lu raises her voice a little "Okay then, lets get you ready"

The Trial

"Dr. Delgado, can you tell us in your own words what exactly happened to you that night"
"Yes", Lu hesitates, "I was sitting in my office, everyone else in the RWHC had left, well so I thought. I heard a knock on my door, so I told them they could come in. When he did I was shocked, because it was Rand Kilner. He told me that I should not have attacked him the way I did the day before, and I told him to just leave me alone, but he wouldnt, he pulled me toward him and kissed me, I jurked away quickly for I hated this man. Then he pushed me onto the couch in my office and before he could get ontop of me I rolled off the couch onto the floor, he went to the floor too. Then," Lu takes a deep breathe trying to hold back her tears, "he started to unbutton my shirt, I started hitting him, trying to get him off of me, but he hit me in the face, and by that time my shirt was already undone. Then, he went to take my pants off, and as I was kicking, he started striking me in the face and then I must have been knocked out, because next thing I remember was waking up in the ER, and Andy telling me I had been raped again." Lu starts crying, and her attorney hands her a Kleenex.

"Thank you, you may step down"

"Dr. Kilner can you tell us what happened that night"
"All I can tell you is that I did not see Dr. Delgado that night, I was in my home"
"Doctor, do you realize that the tests show the DNA is yours"
"Yes, I realize that, but it could be wrong"
Okay, Thank you, you may step down."

"Andy Campbell, will you please step up, and tell us what happened the day you found Dr. Delgado?"

"I was at work, and it was about noon when I was looking for Dr. Delgado to talk to her, but no one had seen her. I tried calling her home but nobody answered, then Peter walked in, and I asked him if he had seen her. He said he had not seen her but her car was outside, I found this very strange, and I decided to check her office and see if her stuff was here. As I walked in, I found Dr. Delgado lying on the floor in just her bra and underwear, and I noticed she looked as if she was beaten. I then, yelled for Peter and we carried Lu to the ER, and then when she awoke, I told her that she had indeed been raped."

"We will take a short recess and then we will have the verdict."

Ten minutes later...

"We have reached a verdict..."
