Called
as a witness at the last moment by Julia Capwell, although unregistered
on the witnesses list, Sally Baldwin
comes to testify in the trial of B.J.
Walker for Frank Goodman's murder. She answers the questions of Julia
and Ben Arnold, the district attorney. During her testimony, she tells
that, just like B.J., she was sexually abused by Frank when she was a
teenager. Sally allows everyone to see, if it is possible, the horror to
the everyday life that undergo the children sexually abused by a close
relation of the family.
Her
testimony, in spite of all Ben Arnold's objections, is extremely
important. It is moreover largely thanks to it that the jury, some times
later, will acquit B.J..
