Their presence raised her spirits.
So did the seven followers dressed exactly like her.
The guard, as she called them, formed a V-shaped phalanx behind her as Amy made her way into the building.
Inside, throngs of people clamored in the halls, vying for a glimpse of the celebrity preacher.
Amy passed among them like Jesus on Palm Sunday, her guard parading faithfully behind her.
When they reached the grand jury room, Amy dismissed her guard, commenting loudly that she was a lamb being led to the slaughter.
She swore on the Bible to tell the truth, and the cross-examination flew in.
For example, a photo taken while Amy was in the Douglas Hospital showed her wearing a wristwatch.
If you're watching the video, that photo's on screen.
The district attorney questioned,
where the timepiece came from.
Had Amy been wearing it while she was swimming at Venice Beach, or had the kidnappers given it to her?
And why did it look identical to one given to her by her mother?
Similarly, the DA asked about Amy's clothing.
She'd said she was wearing a bathing suit when abducted, yet when she turned up in Agua Prieta, she had on a nice new looking dress and corset.
Then there was the nurse's testimony.
She examined Amy in the hospital right after her escape and found no signs of sunburn and no signs of dehydration or starvation, despite Amy's claims she walked 20 miles through Mexico with no food or water.
If you've never been to the Southwest or into the desert, you can't walk 20 feet without getting scratched or torn.
You certainly can't spend an afternoon out there without getting sunburned and thirsty.
