Fishing Part 2

Sarah is called to represent Joseph in the trial. She soon starts to question the validity of Heather’s disclosure and wonders if the real culprit is someone closer to home. Westside gossip is in full swing regarding Elly and Bobs night on the boat. However despite interrogations from both Sarah and Martha neither are giving anything away. Heathers trial gains interest from both the media and the residents of Westside. Sarah is heavily criticised for representing Joseph and then for suggesting that Heathers father may have been responsible for the assault. After she questions Heather on the stand, Elly criticises Sarah for further traumatising Heather. However during the questioning of her father, Heather can no longer stay quiet and confesses that it has been him who has been sexually abusing her since she was 12. Despite a win, Sarah is distraught at what she has put Heather through.
