NL is saying she loved reading Jane Austen in high school, because there was always a good guy and a villain. You had to figure out which one was which, and the villain always turned out to be the one with the silver tongue. That's how it was with SM. During the first interview, they didn't know SM was the villain. The police got into their car and left. The lies unraveled and the story unfolded, and you could see SM was the villain. She likes the idea of scratching the surface, looking at every piece of evidence and finding out who the villain is. She tells the jury that's what they'll be doing. (Spoiler alert: It was Sidney Moorer.)
NL's favorite book was The Count of Monte Cristo, because he was the victim, but in the end he gets justice. That book told her that while you can't change what happened, with persistence and patience, you can get justice. Nancy is asking the jury, at the end of this story, to give the justice Heather Elvis deserves.
Lawls right off the bat -
Sid has his family stay home so he wouldn't see what he'll be missing.
Because they know he's not coming home anytime soon.
Because his family can't control themselves.
"With persistence and patience, you can find justice because that is all that is left. ...I hear to ask you to give justice to this family and community."
Brilliant and honoring of all victims of violent crime.
