PROSECUTOR: “When were you going to tell them that Jonathan was around?”
LIMON: “Um I’m not sure… eventually.”
PROSECUTOR: “Based on your testimony about your lifestyle what’s the big deal about an affair?”

PROSECUTOR: “Silverlakes it is a small community is it not?”
LIMON: “Yes it is”

1:50: PROSECUTOR: “So now it is your testimony that he controlled you

In the beginning he would mention the dangers of having had our affair prior to this happening and letting me know how people would react and how investigations work and spoke to me a lot about it and always wanted to know how the investigation was going and so there were time in the beginning, like things he brought up were weird.
