One afternoon, after a hearing, a reporter asked whether I felt responsible for Hannah’s injury.

I stopped at the bottom of the courthouse steps.

“I bear responsibility for the systems I allowed to operate and the warnings I ignored,” I said.

“I’m cooperating with the investigation.

I won’t discuss her medical information or claim to speak for her.”

The reporter pressed for a confession about events I had not witnessed.

I declined and continued toward the car.

Paige watched the clip later.
