Wow, all kids of emotions in this chapter, the sadness of the funeral to the anger of the trial. That lawyer was a real asshole, but then again, how do you defend the indefensible? I mean what difference would it make even if Brad came onto his father and Nate had the knife first??? The assaults happened and were too extreme. And Bart's comments at the start of the trial didn't help his own cause at all. Brad's victim statement was very powerful!! At first I was all Team Jesse, but now I am team Mitch. Have we met Mitch's parents yet, I have a feeling they would help the healing. I hope Brad and Nate do seek some kind of counseling to help. I hope we don't have to deal with some homophobic social worker when it comes to Brad being able to keep and raise Nate.
Thanks Rob for the story!!
