The Crime Of Huey Dunstan (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Again the case was overlooked by the national media, although I was surprised when I arrived on the third day, the day Huey gave his evidence, to find the courtroom crowded and alive with anticipation. I suppose the experience of walking into a room like this is similar to what a sighted person feels when he draws the curtains in the morning and beholds the world outside. Huey was questioned for more than three hours. Lawrence took him through everything that had happened from the age of three on. For the first time I heard Huey describe his attacker—tall, skinny, with watered-down hair and a straggly beard—and I waited half-expecting Lawrence to say that the man himself would be produced later in court. But he didn’t. The witness stand was in the far corner on the judge’s left and directly opposite the jury. The jury was on my left. I had to strain to hear what Huey was saying. He broke down more than once. Describing the abuse he had suffered, his words were halting and barely audible, just as in the hospital when he had cried and told me what had been done to him and what he had been made to do.
