This story contains true events, however the names given to the characters in the story are highly fictional.
"All my life I've enjoyed watching movies about criminal cases, lawyers and court trials. Most of the movies have similar endings whereby the enemy gets punished and the main actors live happily ever after. On the other hand, movies about crime usually have some unexpected twists, court arguments and keeping the watcher in suspense. I always found these stories very interesting and worth watching. Little did i know that one day life will drag me there."
This is a story about a quiet and ambitious young girl who lives to please her family, respect curfews and keep her reputation in tact. She then faces turbulence after a twist and turn in her life which changes her completely.
