So Heather, what do you want the jury to understand?

Heather Grossman is about to confront the man she believes was behind the plot to kill her.

Your son is testifying today.

Are you worried for him?

Ronnie, 17, is called to testify about the decade-old allegations of child abuse against his stepfather, John Grossman.

A lie that his father, Ronnie says, convinced him to tell.

Your own son says that you manipulated him into telling these lies.

The state calls Heather Grossman.

And now, finally, it's Heather's moment of truth.

The problems you were experiencing with Mr. Samuels, did they intensify in the latter part of 1996 and into 1997?

What was Mr. Samuels' demeanor like when he would pick up or drop off the children?

Did your children, either Ronnie, Joseph, or Lauren, ever complain to you about Johnny Grossman's treatment of them?

No.

Then the courtroom is hushed as Heather recalls the very moment she was shot.

To this day, do you have any sensation whatsoever below the neck or the place where you were shot?

If the courtroom was riveted by Heather's testimony.
