Chapter 12 - AUDREY FINALLY SPEAKS PUBLICLYReporters surrounded the courthouse after a preliminary hearing involving the forged documents.
Audrey hadn't planned to speak.
Then a reporter shouted:
“Mrs. Whitmore, do you blame your husband?”
Audrey stopped.
Grant looked at her.
She stepped toward the microphones.
“No.”
Cameras flashed.
“I blame silence.”
The crowd quieted.
“My father was silenced. My husband was kept ignorant. I stayed silent because I was afraid people would call me unstable.”
She looked directly into the cameras.
“Silence protected the wrong people.”
The clip spread across American social media within hours.
