E.M. pushes back
E.M. appeared on the courtroom screen, her image flickering slightly as she joined the session remotely. Judge Maria Carroccia sat to the left, presiding over the case with a stern but focused expression, her gavel resting firmly on the polished wooden bench. The air in the courtroom was thick with tension, every word carrying the weight of a deeply contested truth. "Miss E.M.," began the defense attorney, Greenspan, his voice sharp and calculated, each syllable a carefully placed piece in his argument. "You say that these men were having a 'good time' at your expense. But isn’t it possible that they were simply enjoying themselves, that the laughter you describe had nothing to do with you? Isn’t it true that you sought their attention?" E.M. straightened, her expression hardening as she met the camera's unblinking eye. Her voice, though crackling slightly through the video feed, carried a steady conviction. "No," she replied, her tone cutting through the air. "They were in that room because they were told that a 'drunk naked girl' was there. That’s why they came. That’s what they were there for." Greenspan leaned forward, a practiced smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Yet you stayed in that room, didn’t you? You didn’t leave. You didn’t tell them to go. In fact, by your own admission, you were part of the gathering. Isn’t it true that you only objected when they started to focus their attention elsewhere? When they weren’t giving you the attention you wanted?" E.M. felt a surge of heat rise in her chest. She took a steadying breath, her jaw tightening. "That’s not true," she said firmly. "I never wanted their attention. This was attention I never asked for. They were objectifying me. They were literally laughing at me. They didn’t need to be in that room." Greenspan carried on as usual. "So, you claim that you were being objectified, yet you stayed. You participated. You had a good time until you decided you didn’t. Isn’t that what happened?" E.M.’s eyes narrowed, her hands clenching just out of frame. "I stayed because I felt trapped. Because the moment more people entered, I felt like I had no choice. I felt surrounded. Any one of those men could have stood up and said, ‘This is not OK.’ However, they didn't. They just kept going. They didn’t want to think about the fact that I wasn’t consenting." There was a pause. A hush fell over the courtroom, the silence amplifying the weight of her words. Judge Carroccia’s gaze flicked from the screen to Greenspan, her pen tapping lightly against her notebook. She, like everyone else in the room, seemed to be measuring the tone, the emotion, the credibility of E.M.’s every syllable. Greenspan straightened his jacket, adjusting the cuffs as he glanced down at his notes. "And yet," he said, his voice now softer, more calculated, "you never said the word ‘no.’ You never explicitly told them to stop. Isn’t that correct?" E.M.’s heart pounded in her chest. She felt the familiar ache of disbelief, the frustration of her words being twisted, her experience minimized. She leaned closer to the screen, her voice growing more intense. "I didn’t have to say the word ‘no’ for them to know I wasn’t OK. My silence wasn’t consent. It was clear that I was hurting. They just chose to ignore it." The room remained silent for a moment longer, the air heavy with the unspoken complexities of consent, power, and blame. Judge Carroccia’s eyes flicked back to E.M. on the screen, a hint of something like empathy passing over her otherwise stoic expression. The court stenographer’s fingers flew over the keys, capturing every word, every pause, every beat of the unfolding tension. As Greenspan prepared his next question, E.M. took another steadying breath, her resolve hardening. She was not just a witness today. She was a voice demanding to be heard, a reminder that silence, however forced or fearful, should never be mistaken for consent.
