[COMPLETE] Romance Killer [Zack Foster Love story]

25

As it came to the day of the trial, Tana had sat down beside Dillan as Zack was behind her with her father and brother. Her mother was pissed to see her ex-husband and her son was supporting Tana instead of her. When the judge came in and read what the trial was for she rubbed between her eyes before she looked at the Mayor. "Really? Must you do this to your own child? Everyone knows that you disowned this child at the age of eight when she was recovering in the hospital. Everyone knows how cruel you are to your youngest daughter and how you have blatantly ignored her words about that male you had ended up marrying Lydia."

Her mother glared at the judge. "How dare you take that bitches side over mine! I'm the victim here not her! She killed her sisters-my sweet innocent daughters!"

The judge placed the papers down as she looked rather unamused. "Let's see what your daughter has to say before I hear your side of things." The judge said before looking to Tana. "First I must ask-what name do you go by now? I was told that you had it legally changed two months ago."

"I did." Tana said 

"You bitch! how dare you change your name!" Lydia growled out

Tana let out a sigh "I ended up getting married within the last two months." She said as she stood up rubbing between her eyes

Her mother stiffened up hearing what she said and coward in her seat knowing that she had spoken out of turn about what was questioned towards her daughter.

"The name I go by now is Tana Foster Your honor. I once went by the name of Tanaya but I hated the name I was given. So I chose to shorten it and take the name of the man that I've married." Tana said with a smile

"I see, so you've lived an honest life even after what had happened to you then. Hearing that you are married means that you've been keeping out of jail after what had happened to you when you were a teen."

Tana nodded her head. "Yes your honor that is true. After what had happened then I have kept my hands clean. As much as I detested that my mother was ignorant to what happened in her own home-I would never go as far as slaughter those whom were my sisters. I still loved and cared about all of them. They were my family after all."

"I see, so it says here in the notes that you have evidence to clear your name for the murders that you are being charged for. Is that true?"

"Yes, that is true. Before the divorce of my father and that woman who is pointing fingers at me-my father had told only me that there was cameras in every room that was connected to his office mac laptop. So, I would always know that if something happened that computer would catch it. I honestly don't know what rooms or room my elder siblings were found in-but what I can show you is what truly happened that day through the footage of the cameras. The footage hasn't been altered or messed with in anyway. My lawyer and I both have no idea how to work such things. So it'd be a loss for us if something like that happened."

The judge nodded her head "Very well."

Dillan got the old mac laptop out before he turned to her father. "Sir, can you confirm that this laptop was once in your possession? That this is the laptop that your daughter Tana speaks of?"

"Yes, I can confirm that it is the laptop that I had left there." Her father said with a firm nod of his head

Dillan then turned the laptop on before Tana placed in the password, afterwards she gave it back to Dillan who placed up the video of Zack with his hood up and a mask over his face as he had a butcher knife as he went into different rooms to kill each one of her sisters. Afterwards he placed the knife into the door to her mothers room before leaving the house.

"As you can see your honor, the person who did so first wore a hood and covered their face. My client can't wear anything over their face due to their bandages. Not to mention my client doesn't wear anything that has a hood on it due to the fear of being strangled as a PTSD trigger." Dillan said seriously

"I can see how both can be seen as true. Now there's also the thing of height, the person who is responsible seems to be more than five foot six. So there's no way it could be Mrs. Foster. Now the next thing that must be cleared up is the allegation of Lydia saying that Tana had assaulted her in front of her own home."

"Ah-that. Yes I can pull that up." Dillan said before he showed the judge a clip of Tana walking on the side walk before Lydia went outside and attacked Tana who didn't place a hand on Lydia. Lydia knocked out Tana and repeatedly kicked her in the gut before going back inside. 

The Judge was unamused. "Now I must ask, is there footage of what made Lydia disown Tana?"

"Yes there is." Dillan said with a nod of his head

"Place it up for everyone to see please. I want Lydia to see just what exactly her disowned daughter was trying to tell her."

"Of course your honor."
