The questioning continued for more than an hour, and Holly became very relaxed, answering the questions easily, hardly thinking about them.
“In the questionnaire you answered about your background, did you lie about anything?”
“No,” she said easily.
“Anything at all?”
“No.”
“When you were younger than twelve years, were you ever sexually molested by anyone, male or female?”
“No.”
“As an adult, were you ever sexually molested?”
“Yes.” It had eventually caused her to leave the army.

They had read her military record. “Yes.”

“Yes.”
“During your testimony, did you ever lie?”
“No.”
“During the accused’s testimony, did he ever lie?”
“Yes.”
“Did another female officer testify against him?”
“Yes.”
“Did she, during her testimony, ever lie?”
“No.”
“Was your superior officer convicted?”
“No.”
“Did you feel that justice had been done?”
“No.”
“Did you leave the military as a result of his acquittal?”
“Yes.”
“Did anyone pressure you to leave the military?”
“No.”
“Did you feel that, if you remained in the military, there would be prejudice against you, because of your testimony against a superior officer?”
