"My husband?" she questioned where this was going,
"What happened?"
"I'm sorry, how is this relevant?" the judge asked,
"Sorry sir, just curious. Was your daughter a "victim" of your husband's abuse?"
"No, the abuse started after she died. He started getting drunk all of the time and blamed my son Benji for the accident."
"Huh? That is why?"
"Benji... I mean Benjamin was around 9 at the time, he wanted ice cream so my husband took my daughter Britney and Brenna with him. Brenna was being fussy, only being four, Benjamin took his seat belt off and tried to calm her, my husband was trying to make him sit down. He was looking behind him to make Benjamin sit down, he didn't see a semi-truck turning towards them, once Benji sat back down he yelled at my husband that there was a truck coming... it crashed right into her. Britney only faced a broken arm, and Benjamin broke his collarbone and wrist." she said.
"I see."
"My husband has hated Benjamin ever since," she stated,
"So, have you been abused by your husband before?"
"No, only verbal abuse, nothing like Benjamin has been through," she stated sadly.
"Ok, I'm done." the layer sat down next to Markus.
