The defense attorney had Molly's medical records which before her death indicated that she had had 3 miscarriages in a 18 month period.
"Did you know that your niece had three miscarriages in a 15 month period?"
A look of shock came over Sally's face. She didn't say anything but her arms and legs were crossed. As though she was thinking about what she was going to say.
"I'm warning you Mrs. Robertson that you are under oath."
"Aaron Hotchner told me about this as the autopsy showed that she had 3 miscarriages."
Hotchner could tell by her body language that she wasn't lying but she was concealing something. She knew more than she was letting onto when he interviewed her and asked her about it. He guessed that a lot of it was fear. She had expressed to him fear about someone stalking and harassing her.
Molly was in front of her phone talking.
"Well, I was in Virginia doing a fashion show and I didn't feel too well. After the show I started bleeding and I didn't know what to do. At the time, there was discussion in the Virginia legislature about passing a law making it a requirement to report a miscarriage and jail time if you didn't. I didn't want to have to explain to them... well, I went off to sleep and when I woke up, there was blood all over the mattress. It was soaked. I got scared and I called Jonah and he came over."
"For the record Jonah Wells is or was a friend of Molly Robertson. He died a couple of weeks after Molly in a car accident."
"Molly Robertson, what the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you...
"You are sounding like Aunt Sally, please Jonah."
"Well, Aunt Sally would be right."
"Here is what the bill says." said Jonah, showing Molly his phone.
A look of terror came over Molly's face as she used her fingers to flip thru the pages on the phone.
"Mark is going to kill me, if he ever finds out about this. "
"I doubt that he would kill you, but he would be ticked off at you and I would be too if I were him. He probably would never having anything to do with you again and I wouldn't blame him, Molly. No Excuse for this Molly, you're a grown woman, not some frightened teen-ager. I don't understand you."
Jonah and Molly tried to wash the blood off with a washcloth. They had little success.
"We have to get a new mattress for the bed, Molly.
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Eight am.
Molly looked around to make sure no one was around. They were on the bottom floor which made it easier to take the mattress out. Jonah put the mattress in his truck.
They came back an hour later with the new mattress after dumping the mattress in the river. Those in the courtroom gasped and comments were made about Jonah dumping the mattress into a river a couple of hours later.
The next clip showed Jonah talking.
"We are here in Texas and this is the second time that I've had to help Molly avoid getting in trouble. Six months ago, she had a miscarriage in Virginia, today she had one in Austin Texas, a blue city in a red state. I was afraid that Molly would bleed to death. She wouldn't go to the hospital. This happened in my truck as I was going to take her to the hospital whether she liked it or nor. Her life was possibly in danger. I would lie and say that I was a father but Mark Malls has AB negative blood and I'm O positive and they would find out the truth and then poor Molly
He opened the door and the truck looked like a crime scene. Molly was heard crying and sobbing hysterically.
"I'm going to have to clean this mess. Molly can't do this."
The next clip showed Jonah and Molly having Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Sally's house. The next day Aunt Sally went on a shopping trip with the travel group. While she was gone, Molly had a 3rd miscarriage which was recorded on Jonah's phone. The miscarriage occurred in the parking lot of Daytona Mall at the bus stop which had a bench with no cover. Shortly after Molly had the miscarriage, heavy rains came, washing away the evidence of it.
"You really had to stop doing this Molly."
"I don't know why is happening?"
"Your body parts are fragile due to you having what do you call your uterine fibroids which can cause a miscarriage. "
The couple were in Jonah's car. The rain was coming down very hard.
"You know Molly, I'm surprised that you haven't told Aunt Sally about this. You tell her everything."
"I didn't want her to involve her in this as I have a feeling that this will come back to haunt me. If she doesn't know about it, she can't be held liable, questioned or charged with anything."
Another clip was shown of the doctor's appointment. The doctor quickly did the pap smear and said that she had a emergency, wished Molly well and left.
Molly is seen talking and walking out to the patient area where Sally was waiting. The receptionist was nowhere to be seen.
"See, no one is here right now which is a good thing Molly. Good thing someone from the National Enquirer isn't out there. It would be on the internet within minutes. Another thing. Good thing no one from the church is out there. Can you imagine? They would tell so and so and then they would tell so and so, and then they would tell Mark. Of course they would. God forbid if something happened to you they will have a field day with this which is why are you recording this, Molly. Make sure you erase this from your phone."
"Oh, I don't know." was Molly's response and that was end.
"Tell, me Sally why do you think your niece did this? You have been documented telling her not to tell doctors or anyone else about her relationships. You don't have trust in others isn't that right. You are always telling her don't tell her this, don't tell him that."
"I don't know why Molly didn't tell me. She was probably ashamed."
The jurors looked at Sally and could see a combination of shock, horror and panic.
The detailed account of the miscarriages were in the diaries. Aunt Sally knew all about them and the reasons why Molly didn't always take proper precautions, which were the same reasons that she did the same.
"She learned this from you didn't she?
There was very strong objection to what was said and the judge warned the defense attorney.
The defense attorney could tell that Sally embarrassment and shame had turned to a combination of fear, terror and then anger.
"For the last 3 days, my niece had been attacked and now I'm being attacked. Both of us are victims. My niece can't fight back but I can. This is a Violation of HIPPA laws. How dare you attack, Molly, How dare you, How dare you...
