Witness (2010)
“Vaughn, what happened when you took that wrong turn off Cotton Lane?” the district attorney asked.
“I realized I’d gotten off on the wrong road and was looking for a place to turn around.” Deborah sat straight, her hands folded in her lap. “I noticed a truck pulled off the road. One man jumped out of the truck, but I couldn’t see his face. There were two other men behind the truck, one holding a gun to the other’s head.”
Deborah’s stomach tightened into a knot; she gripped her damp hands togeth...er. Glancing out into the courtroom she sought Ashe. Their gazes met and held. She took a deep breath.
“Are you all right, Ms. Vaughn?” District Attorney Jim Bitterman spoke softly, his voice a light tenor, a distinct contrast to his rugged, almost ugly face and wiry, muscular body.
“Yes.” Deborah kept her vision focused on Ashe for several seconds longer, gaining strength from his presence.
“Will you continue, please?”
“The man holding the gun was Lon Sparks.”
“Objection, your honor,”MoreLess
