Thanks for the link to hearing about what the jurors found persuasive. Alexis amazes me more with everything I read about her. In the 6 years between murder and trial:
*She completed medical school and residency, became a doctor.
* Wrested her younger sisters away from her father , though he was actively trying to intimidate her and destroy her life.
*Assumed full guardianship of these siblings and has been supporting them.
*Got married, had twins, testified at trial 2 days after birthing twins (!!!!!!!!!).
*With aunt and Rachel, spent years building a case against their father, uncovering information all along the way that had to be completely devastating and frightening.
*Persisted in the effort to bring MM to justice, despite the emotional toll that process had to entail, doubled down by being ignored, scorned, and chastised by LE for persisting.
All that, topped off by being treated as a liar by the defense, having to be in the same room as her mother's killer for weeks, and yet....There she was on the stand; calm, convincing, her mother's voice.
No wonder after the verdict she closed her eyes for such a long time, sat stone still and just wept.
What a long journey, and what a remarkable woman she is to have arrived at this point with her courage, dignity, and ability to love intact!!
