Emily Simpson

I recall vividly one night shortly after her mother died, which I'll share that that date was September 30th, 2017, right before the videos began, when despite drinking no more than anyone else, she was suddenly and surprisingly so incapacitated that she could not walk.

Everyone was so concerned what had happened.

She was fine one minute and then not the next.

We thought about taking her to the hospital, but he was so calm.

always in charge, always in control, less concerned than others, and reassured me personally that she would be fine, that he was there to take care of her.

And now I have to wonder, based on that date, did you drug her that night?

Or did you just encourage her to drink?

Did you set up your cameras and fondle and manipulate her body while she was not aware and could not physically resist you?

Your Honor, even now I feel my words are probably lost on him.

He has only been concerned about himself.

and his consequences, and his future life.

Don't let him displace blame onto his victim.

Don't let other husbands or wives think they can do whatever they want to their spouses.

Ensure that all people know that having sex with an unconscious person is called rape, even when you're married to them.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Thank you, ma'am.

Then, after Marisa, it was finally Saskia's turn.

With her paper shaking in her hand, she walked up to a table between the prosecution and the defense.

Her body was angled towards the judge, but really, she wanted to deliver the speech to Mike.

I knew not to expect any empathy or remorse, and I think that drove me even more.
