He knows his mother is lying.The son had heard his parents arguing the night before. He heard his mother say she wished his father was dead. He heard his father say he was leaving her. He heard a pop. He heard a body fall. He heard his mother cleaning up. He was nine years old. He was too afraid to speak. He stayed silent for ten years. Then he walked into a police station and told everything.The mother was arrested. She had staged the scene to look like a suicide. She had used her husband's hand to pull the trigger after he was already dead. She had wiped down the gun. She had called 911 with convincing panic. She thought she had committed the perfect murder.
