Chapter 16 - What happened in the bedroom

Marlene still had to answer for what she did to Lily.
Lily’s account:
She pulled the hospital paper from purse.
Marlene entered.
Grabbed the paper.
Lily shouted.
Marlene grabbed her shoulders.
Lily tried to run.
Marlene pushed her down onto the rug and covered her mouth.
Then demanded:
“Tell me what you saw.”
That was what I walked in on.
Marlene’s version:
She panicked.
She was trying to calm Lily.
Nobody needs to cover a child’s mouth and pin her down to calm her.
The prosecutor charged:
Misdemeanor child endangerment.
May you like
Unlawful restraint under the available theory.
The restraint charge became the more serious issue.
