“The county prosecutor spent an hour this morning going over both camera angles.

He signed felony arrest warrants for Vanessa for child endangerment and assault with a dangerous weapon.

He also signed an obstruction warrant for your mother.”

“Will they be arrested today, then?” I asked.

“Not today,” Detective Mitchell said, leaning forward over her blotter.

“The prosecutor wants the warrants served in open court on the morning of the child protection evidentiary hearing.

That keeps your mother’s lawyer from trying to stall or filing emergency bail motions ahead of time.”
