Brienne Walsh wrote publicly about her childhood. In her September 28, 2020 deposition, she said it could be described as abusive, with a qualification: sometimes, not always. Her blog posts, the deposition excerpt and Aunt K’s account are distinct parts of the record.
The civil battery case reaches trial in San Francisco Superior Court. A different courtroom. Twelve neutral citizens. The jury hears Steve's account of the nanny's disclosure, Tara's answers, and the documentary evidence.
