Mother’s testimony in court
In the wooden pews of the courthouse, Ellen sat in the defendant’s chair and watched as Carol took the witness stand. When the prosecutor questioned her, “Were you present at the birth of your daughter?”, Carol nodded, “I saw it with my own eyes, I have no doubt,” but the prosecutor said, “That is subjective testimony, the scientific evidence contradicts it.” The judge banged his gavel and announced, “It’s inadmissible,” and Carol’s testimony was not adopted. Ellen saw her mother’s tears. Mother’s tears are ignored in court.
