Incautious, to say the least. She claims that tempting basked of 'goodies' was for her grandmother, an old woman in acknowledged poor health. Hearing all this, I asked myself, 'Is this truly a victim? Or a "party girl"?'"
At the prosecution's table, the woodsman leaned over to Red. "I could go get my axe again..."
Red felt the eyes of the jury on her. "I don't think it can help anymore."
