The court room was silent. Ashton stared at Patrick in shock and confusion.

"Did you leave the cameras in the house for a very long time?"

"They are still there, and when I checked last the tapes keep being replaced. That means Ashton's father has been keeping all of his tapes of what he has done to Ashton and the other boys. I had to leave them a year after I put them in because I had brain cancer." Patrick said sadly.

"The prosecution requests a warrant to search Mr. Irwin's house for the tapes."

"He's house has already been searched." The judge spat. "The request is denied, making Patrick Cullen's testimony void. The jury will not take his testimony into consideration when deciding a final verdict." The judge spat again.

Ashton blocked out everything in the room, including the resting of the prosecution and all of the defense. All the pictures were out. The videos were out and Patrick's testimony was out. Ashton was such deep in thought he didn't hear sentence that would rock his world.
