When the recording ended, Camille had no explanation.
The guardian ad litem escorted Owen and Miles from the courtroom before Rebecca testified.
Camille’s attorney objected, arguing that the accident was separate from the custody dispute. The judge allowed limited testimony because Camille had used her version of the accident to explain her abandonment, making evidence that contradicted her relevant to her credibility.
Rebecca took the oath.
“I saw Nathan’s truck after it struck the tree,” she said. “Nathan was injured but still breathing in the passenger seat. Camille was beside the driver’s door, and the twins were crying in the back.”
The official report named Nathan as the driver.
“Camille told me she had been driving,” Rebecca continued. “She said they were arguing and she lost control. Then she asked me to help move Nathan so it would look as though he had caused the crash.”
Camille jumped to her feet.
“She’s lying!”
The judge ordered her to sit.
