How did the knife end up under his bed?
Ethan had given a possible answer.
It was missing to prove it.
And six years later it seemed impossible.
Until they reviewed photographs of the original scene with an independent specialist.
In a picture of the bedroom appeared something tiny next to the structure of the bed.
A fragment of white material.
It had been collected and stored, but never analyzed because it did not seem relevant.
Now they did analyze it.
It was a cotton fiber probably from a towel.
She didn’t show who took her.
But it coincided with Ethan’s account.
The prosecution asked for more time.
Mom’s conviction was suspended while a court reviewed the new evidence and deficiencies of the original case.
Victor hired lawyers.
He denied everything.
