Chapter 13 - Clara’s carriage becomes evidence

Lucille’s defense attorney argued the carriage stunt had been reckless theater, not intent to injure.

Footage mattered.

She had checked where I was standing before the shove.

That supported her claim she expected me to intervene.

It did not excuse creating deadly risk.

An infant cannot consent to being used in a “test.”

Prosecutors eventually charged:

Felony child endangerment based on substantial risk.

Not attempted murder.

That distinction mattered.

If the evidence did not prove she wanted Clara to die, the state should not pretend it did.

Lucille also faced federal charges separately.

Two systems.

Two cases.

One baby.
