Chapter 523 Testify Against Charlene McKinney

The police officer thought it would be unkind to snuff out Deirdre’s hope, so he asked tactfully, “Do you have any solid proof, Miss McKinnon?”

“Proof?”

“We can’t sentence someone based on he–says–she–says. We need more witnesses and evidence.”

“Don’t I count as an eyewitness?”

“You do, but since you’re blind, the defendant can easily weasel her way out of this accusation. It’s really hard to make a solid case if you’re the sole witness.”
