I enjoyed reading this chapter, barbara. Imagine having to put up with a mother in law like that. No wonder the son is the way he is. I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Very good writing!
The dialogue moves the plot along nicely.
The break is fine (for me as a reader). It left me wanting to turn the page to see what happens next.
I do see clearly the character of Bobby and his mom.
Keep up the good work!

The story continues in it's realistic tone. Well written and holds the attention of the reader. Bobby was the best witness for Anna's case.

Comment from Cheryl Baker
You got me in. I found the story enthralling. The story of the court case shows a deep insight into the behavior of domestic violence. Even down to the ex-mother-in-law taking her son's side and Bobby thinking he had the right to discipline his wife. I liked the court case. It reads well. Looking forward to the next chapter.

First and foremost a chapter needs to be as long as necessary to convey the message. And I can assure you this one was not that long.
You have amazing skills as a storyteller and gifts as a writer. But you already know that. It is remarkable that you champion causes. No one needs to live a life in fear of their survival. I join you in your effort to create awareness of the anathema.
Thank you for posting your work. It is excellent.

Mrs. Rodgers is as bad as her son is. Neither should be permitted anywhere near Michael. Bobby's testimony shows the type of person he is. He believes his beating on his wife is only discipline. He is delusional.

This is very good. I did not find it to long, it moved along very smoothly. The events of the day followed a good time line and the dialog seemed real, believable. I did find that the lack of explanation as to "I had to discipline her" was distracting. I found it almost unbelievable that her attorney would not ask for him to explain.

Hi Barbara - this is another terrific post. You're starting to dial up the tension. Great mixture of dialog and narrative. I even learned a little legal stuff. Great job. Bill

Comment from snoopy lover
I thought this was very well written with excellent dialogue. The scene in the courtroom was very detailed and the reader felt like he or she was there. Only one sentence at the beginning I would suggest another look at:
beige crocheted lace yoke short sleeved sweater.
This female reader stumbled over this description. I can only imagine what the males might do. Consider leaving out "crocheted?"

No worries on the length. Readers alway have the option of skipping I suppose. Great read. I'm sure it was a piece of a larger story.
content; Excellent
Flow; excellent, easy readability
