Bryan Stevenson

She was so proud to be given the responsibility of being one of the witnesses for the community.

And she fixed herself up and she walked over to the door.

They let people in and she walked through the door with such grace and such dignity.

She held her head up high.

She had this hat on.

She walked through the metal detector, but when she saw the dog, you could just see the fear paralyze her.

She stopped dead in her tracks, and I watched her try to move, try to take a step, and she couldn't do it.

And her body began to shake, and her head drooped, and I saw tears start running down her face.

And then I heard her groan really loudly, and then watched her turn around and run out the courtroom.

Painful thing to see.

Other people came inside.

We had a really good day in court that day.

I was heading home and she was still sitting outside.

And when she saw me, she came over to me and she said, oh, Mr. Stevenson, I feel so bad.

She said, I let you down today.

I let everybody down today.

I said, Ms.

Williams, it's not your fault.

They shouldn't have done what they did.

She said, no, no, no, no, no.
