Chapter .2.
It was the day of the trial. They had the trial speed up because they wanted this over. Ainslee had gotten custody of Poseidon, Evander, Clytemnestra, Philippina, Nikolaus, Luanna, Tiphanie, Sharmaine, and Karenza
They had started packing and after the hearing they were leaving all this behind. Their lawyer was good. They all pitched in to get her.
"Come on everyone it is time we get to the court house", Ainslee calls to everyone
Everyone was in their best clothes.
"We will take Moda take your car with your three babies and Karen. Niko will come with me and my seventeen children. Dys go with Cay and her twins, Shar go with Alyx and her twins. Jakki will go with Flo. Tiph go with Genesis and her daughter. Lua go with Ella and her twins. Hannele and her twins. Bath with her Quads. Let's go", Ainslee says making sure they were all out of the house and locking the door
Ainslee puts Joandra, Chrysanta, Linnette, Veronica, Saturnina, Kleopatra, Eudora, Nefertiti, Gwenevere, Nesmayallindra, Rosannah, Thomasina, Aspyen, Kimberleigh, Zephyrine, Lycus, Mercurius and Rebeccanne in their seats. Nikolaus takes the front seat. Ainslee drives the van with Alyx behind them to the court house.
"Mummy where?" Joandra asks
"We are at a court house. We are going to get something that will make us safer ", Ainslee says simply getting out of the car
Nikolaus takes the three seater stroller out of the back and sets it up. Ainslee puts Rebeccanne in first gently wrapping her in a blanket, then places Mercurius in and lifts Zephyrine, and Lycus into the middle two seats and Kimberleigh in the back of the stroller. Joan, Chry, Ette, Nica, Nina, Kleo, Dora, Nefe, Gwen, Nes and Rosa hold onto the stroller. Eleamoda comes with the others and they walk to security.
"We are here for the Cater Trial", Ainslee says to the guard
"Court room 5", the security says letting them through
Their lawyer Jane Ridges meets them half way.
"Ok now are you all testifying?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"Yes", Ainslee says
"Ok. You know what you're going to say?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"Yes the truth", Alyx replies
"Good. Let's get this started", Lawyer Ridges says letting them in
They take a seat on one side of the court room. Looked like a few of their mothers friends had turned up. There rapists had. It made Eleamoda, Floretta, Cayley, Alyx, Genesis, Hannele, Bathsheba, Quintella shiver. Ainslee held hers in for her siblings.
"All rise for Judge Harrison Hart"
They all did and the Judge comes in.
"You may be seated"
"We are here for the case of against Georgia Penelope Cater versus a lawsuit, assault, assisted assault, assisted sexual assault, neglect, and a restraining order. I want a fair clean trial. Lawyer Dawson begin", Judge Hart says ready to listen
"My client has being nothing but giving to her children. Providing for all their needs since they were children babies. She will testify with the truth showing the children just want attention", Lawyer Dawson says
"Lawyer Ridges you now have the floor", Judge Hart says
"My clients have evidence for the neglect and their bills being paid by them. They are willing to ALL testify against Miss Cater. They are not looking for attention they would rather avoid it", Lawyer Ridges says
"Call your first Lawyer Ridges", Judge Hart says
"I call Eldest daughter Ainslee Sarah Lahote to the stand", Lawyer Ridges says
Ainslee stands up and goes to the stand.
"Do you promise to answer truthfully so help you god?"
"I swear", Ainslee says
"Your witness Lawyer Ridges", the Judge says
"Miss Lahote how has your mother treated you?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"Badly. When she was drunk or high she would hit us. We learned from a young age to stay out of her way", Ainslee says ignoring the glare from her mother
"How did you go to school?" Lawyer Ridges
"We didn't when we were younger. I taught them and read up on stuff myself and did my own studies", Ainslee replies
"Did you pay the bills?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"Yes. We took the bills out of our accounts that she told us our dead Father made for us. When we each turned 12 we found jobs to pay all the bills", Ainslee replies
"Where did you work?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"At the Library and a dinner", Ainslee says
"Did your mother provide for you?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"No. I have been doing the shopping since I was 8", Ainslee replies
"Who cooked it?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"I did. I learnt through cook books. I even cooked for HER. She smacked me around when I accidently spilt a drink on her", Ainslee reveals
"Does she slap you around offend?" Lawyer Ridges says
"Yes. Her boys toys did worse to all of us", Ainslee says
"Give us some examples. If it doesn't hurt too much", Lawyer Ridges asks
"She burned my hand when I was 8 on the stove. One of her boyfriends broke my wrist in 5 places I only have half movement left, I had to have an implant placed in my ear after one broke the ear drum I only have 60% hearing in that ear. When I was 13 I stopped her and some men from bashing my brothers and sisters and they bet me nearly to death. My sister Alyx got me to the Hospital before I died. I had 5 broken ribs, one punctured the lung, spleen ruptured, a badly broken leg, ankle and foot, a crack in my skull, they had to open my skull to relieve the pressure. I have a scar under my hair because of that and five of her boy toys raped me. I ended up having seventeen children. Octuplets at 16, twins at 17, triplets at 18, one at 19, twins at 20, one at 21 and one 4 weeks ago", Ainslee says
The court was appalled.
"Did you take care of your brothers and sisters?" Lawyer Ridges asks
"Yes. I named Philippina, Astraea, Clytemnestra, Evander and Poseidon", Ainslee says
"No more questions your honour", Lawyer Ridges says
"Your witness Lawyer Dawson", the judge says
"Can you prove you paid the bills?" Lawyer Dawson asks
"Lawyer Ridges has the receipts and bank statements", Ainslee replies
"Exhibit A Ladies and Gentleman", Lawyer Ridges says passing the statements to the judge
"Do you have proof of when you started work?" Lawyer Dawson asks
"Yes a signed letter by my employers", Ainslee says nodding to Lawyer Ridges
"Exhibit B", Lawyer Ridges says handing over the document
Dawson grinds his teeth
"How can you prove you had those injuries?" Lawyer Dawson asks
"Lawyer Ridges has the hospital records. And look", Ainslee says pulling up her sleeve showing her scared wrist
Then pulls open a section of hair to reveal a scar.
"Exhibit C", Lawyer Ridges says handing over the hospital records for Ainslee
"That is all my questions", Lawyer Dawson says
"You may step down Miss Lahote", the judge says
That's when Georgia launches herself at Ainslee and start hitting her. Guards and Nikolaus and Dyson help get them off her.
"Officers take her away to the verdict", the Judge orders
Alyx and Cayley help Ainslee up and over too Genesis. Who got out of her bag some first aid equipment. That made the jury shutter. They were prepared for anything.
"Are you alright Miss Lahote?" the judge asks looking at her concerned as Genesis patches her up
"Nothing I haven't felt before. You can continue", Ainslee says
The trial continues for the rest of the day. Closing arguments were made. Now everyone waited on the Jury. Their mother was back in the room. But they ignored her. Ainslee already had a headache. The jury come back.
"Jury have you reached a verdict?" the judge asks
"We have your honour", a female says
"Give us your verdict", the judge says
"On the count of Neglect. We find the defendant Guilty. On the count of Assault. We find the defendant Guilty. One the count of assist sexual assault we find the defendant Guilty. On the count of Abuse we find the defendant Guilty. On the count of owing money we find the defendant Guilty", the female says
"Georgia Carter stand to hear your sentence", the judge says
She does the look on her face was saying she would like to kill someone.
"You will have to repay what they have paid with the bills. The house is theirs. Along with your Ferrari. You will also pay $10,900,000 dollars to them in repayment for your sins. You will also serve 30 years in a woman's prison", the judge says
"THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS!" Georgia screams as they handcuff her
Ainslee, Eleamoda, Alyx, Cayley, Hannele, Bathsheba, Floretta, Genesis, Quintella, Jacqueline, Dyson, Karenza, Luanna, Nikolaus, Philippina, Astraea, Clytemnestra, Evander and Poseidon look stony faced as Georgia fights the guards.
"I will get all of you!" Georgia says looking at her children
"We would like to see you try", Ainslee says calmly
"Take her away", the judge orders, "This concludes the trial"
The Lahote siblings leave and go to the house. It was just a house. Not a home. There were too many bad memories in this house.
"So when do we start looking for our father and brother?" Alyx asks taking a seat
"We pack up and leave quickly I say I can't stand this house", Floretta says
"Agreed", Eleamoda says
"Most stuff is packed. We will just pack the other stuff. So let's do that and get out of here", Ainslee says
They all pack their stuff that they wanted which was little. For Ainslee, Alyx, Floretta, Hannele, Bathsheba, Cayley, Eleamoda, Quintella and Genesis mainly packed baby stuff for their babies into their cars. They were taking Ainslee's Extended-Length Van, Eleamoda's SUV, Florette's SUV, Genesis SUV, Alyx's SUV, Cayley's SUV, Quintella's SUV, Bathsheba's SUV, Hannele's SUV, Jacqueline's Mercedes, and Dyson's Mercedes. They decided to sell their mothers Ferrari. They used the money to buy Karenza a Mercedes.
"Luanna, Niko, Tiphanie, Sharmaine, Philippina, Astraea, Cly, Evander, Poseidon which car will you go in?" Ainslee asks making one last sweep of the house
"I'll go with you", Luanna says
"I'll go with Han", Clytemnestra says
"I'll go with Moda", Philippina says
"I'll go with Ella", Astraea says
"I'll go with Cayley", Nikolaus says
"I'll go with Sheba", Evander says
"I'll go with Flo", Tiphanie says
"I'll go with Gen", Sharmaine says
"I'll go with Gen", Poseidon says
"Ok then lets get on the road", Ainslee says
The ones who have children put them in their cars. Ainslee drives off first with the others behind her. It was time to leave this life behind…
