Playing the Villain for Ninety Days

Summary

My wife attended a client appreciation dinner, where my business partner, Richard Dalton, dragged her into a private dining room and assaulted her.

I was right next door. I heard her screaming my name, her voice tearing at the seams, but I never pushed that door open.

Afterward, she broke down and called the cops.

On the day of the trial, I took the witness stand and testified that it was consensual. I told the court that she was the one who undressed and climbed onto his lap.

The judge ruled right then and there: insufficient evidence. Richard was acquitted.
