to follow, and Christie is tired.)
"... Did you go ahead and draw a picture of who shot
Danny and Cheryl and you?"
"I was trying to draw."
"And do you remember if you actually did draw it or not?"
"I was not finished."
(The bailiff starts to hand Exhibit G--her unfinished drawing
of the "Killer"--to Christie.)
"I'll ask you--before you do it--when I--when I have a
picture shown to you, I'll ask you if that's the picture you drew of
who hurt you. OK?"
(Witness nods head.)
"That's the one that you drew of who hurt you, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"... and that was the--even though maybe it wasn't finished,
it was the best job you could do on drawing that, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"... Do you remember anything on the drive to the hospital?"
"No."
"Things happened very fast, didn't they?"
"Yeah."
"Has anybody ever told you that your mom saw a person
there who shot Danny and Cheryl and you?"
"No."
"Has anybody ever told you that somebody out there within--a
little while before this happened--saw someone who looked like
the person your mom said did the bad things to you? Has anybody
ever told you that?"
"No."
"When Mr. Hugi asked you if the person who hurt you was
kneeling and leaning across, I think he motioned across the seat
to the shelf, and that's what you remember?"
"Yeah."
"Now the car seat in the front seat of the car--is that a seat
that goes all the way across from one side of the car to the other,
or is there a hole in the middle?"

"It was a hole in the middle."

"Was the personù" (Jim Jagger seems suddenly to realize
that he has alienated the jury.) ". . . are you getting tired?"
"Yeah."
"Do you still wonder sometimes if your mother did it or
not?"
"No."
"Have you thought about it so much now you think she
did?"
"Yeah."
"It would be nice to knowùit would be nice to know that she
didn't, wouldn't it? That would make you feel better if she didn't
do it, huh?"
(Witness nods head.)
"Do you know what made you change from wondering to
then thinking she did? Do you really know?"
(No response.)
"Has talking to Dr. Peterson helped you? Is that what you
think?"
(No response.)
"You don't really know what has made you change from
wondering to now thinking that's what happened. Right? Is that
right?"
"Yeah."
"Have you had dreams about this?"
"No."
"You don't rememberùstrike thatùanother erase, OK? I
don't have any more questions for you."
Christie is limp with exhaustion.
Fred Hugi approaches Christie on re-direct. He wants to let her
go with no more questions. But he cannot. She has been on the ò
stand for such a long time, and it's almost 6:00 p.m. I
VERBATIM:
"Do you know who shot Cheryl?" (He asks gently.)
"Yeah."
"Who was that?"
"My mom."
"How do you know that?"
+ò "I watched." ;tf
B"Were there any strangers there, anybody that you didn't
know?"
"No."

"How about with Danny--was there any stranger there when
Danny was shot?"
"No."
"Who shot him?"
"My mom."
"How about you--when you got shot--were there any strangers
there?"
"No."
"Who shot you?"
"My mom."
"Do you know that because you saw her do it?"
"Yeah."
"Was she close to you when that happened?"
"Not close."

"In the same car--was she in the same car or standing
outside?"
(No response.)
"Do you remember when the shooting happened, do you
remember when Cheryl got shot?"
"Yeah."
"Was your mom inside the car then?"
(No response.)
"Was part of her outside the car and part inside the car?"
(No response.)
"Are you pretty tired now?"
(No response.)
"I don't have any other questions."
Nor does Jim Jagger. Judge Foote leans over and says, "Thank
you, Christie, you can go now."
Hugi watches Christie step down.
She has done it. By God, she has done it.
CHAPTER 37
"Hey, those people took cuts--hey! Get those people--they're
shoving and pushing."
"How unfair. That little boy could sit on your lap and we
could get one more in there."
After Christie's testimony, the crowds are even bigger. The
State has leapt far ahead, and the followers in Diane's camp are
fewer. The bailiff opens the door at ten on May 16 and a hundred
people surge in and somehow squeeze into eighty seats.
Dr. Carl Peterson is the first witness of the day.
"I never really doubted that she had a memory."
Peterson explains that when Christie heard the tape of "Hungry
Like the Wolf," memories flooded back. But she was afraid to
tell him what they were.
"I told Christie that it was OK to feel happiness, sadness,
anger, fear." [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] - zanotowane.pl
