Yeah rough to hear that testimony from Roy. However I think by now the damage has been done. Roy has already had several near violent outbursts and Murphy has proven that when stressed, Roy still gets angry. The line of questioning about how a guy Roy's size get's taken down by Pam, yet it's Pam that sustained all the injuries is a good one. Murphy has done a great job of getting Roy to get to an emotional state of anger and willing to lash out. He's also had Roy admit to violent instances in the past even if there were no charges. Very easy for a juror to see that Roy is NOT the victim and deserves to rot behind bars.
Even still it's still taxing for Pam to be sure. Really glad she has the support of her family and Jim to help her get through all of this.

Hi 😊
I've been following this story a few months now and just recently became a member to this place. I can't begin to tell you how much I just love this story. By accident; I found this one first before the original one and I decided to go back and read that one, also. Big mistake on my part, as it was very hard for me to get through the actual abuse taking place AFTER reading the recovery process in THIS story, first. My own fault😬 These are SUCH good stories though, honestly. You are doing a great job and I look forward to every new update! Roy, you've got no idea whats coming to you, you *Bleep*. Jim has been such a sweet soul to Pam this entire time; I can't imagine what kind of a toll it's all taken on him, but he stays strong for her, and I love that.

I thought you did well with this chapter. You have a very clear idea of who Roy is and how he's fit his behavior into his sense of self, and it comes through. And you've done us the kindness of giving Murphy a good sense of him too. The tension of the scene was ramped up well. And I'm glad you gave Pam a chance to react here, making sure we remember this is HER story and not a courtroom drama.

No, not a good chapter, a GREAT chapter. I understand it may have been hard to write but you conveyed the situation and characterisations so well.

It doesn’t surprise me that Roy actually believes the things he’s saying about the abuse.
I think it’s common for a person to not see
it as abuse if they think they have been in
wronged in some way. It’s kind of like when a
person with an addiction will look for any excuse they can to use their drug of choice.
It’s always someone else’s fault.
The members of the public who were in the courtroom were jerks. Even if Pam had been cheating with Jim, that doesn’t give Roy the right to hurt her. The scary thing is that there could be people on the jury that thinks the same way.
Why didn’t Murphy show the pictures of Pam to the jury? Please update soon.
