The 105-Day-Old Defendant

The 105-Day-Old Defendant When Claire Morgan receives a $68,000 lawsuit accusing her 105-day-old son, Milo, of brutally injuring an eighteen-year-old girl, she can hardly believe what she's hearing. Her baby can't even sit up on his own, let alone attack anyone. But Vanessa Reed, the girl's mother, is determined to make the Morgans pay. Armed with emotional social media posts, exaggerated accusations, and a growing army of judgmental neighbors, Vanessa turns the entire community against Claire and her family. Even strangers begin treating her like the mother of a dangerous criminal. As public humiliation threatens their reputation and Ryan, Claire's husband, becomes increasingly obsessed with protecting his career and social standing, Claire realizes she cannot count on anyone to defend her son. Refusing to pay for a crime that never happened, she decides to fight back through the legal system. Then comes the courtroom showdown that no one could have anticipated. When the judge asks whether the defendant is present, Claire calmly steps forward, raises her baby, and announces that Milo Morgan is officially before the court. Can a 105-day-old baby really be held responsible for a crime? And how far will Vanessa go to maintain her elaborate deception? In a world where public opinion can destroy a family before the truth comes out, Claire is ready to prove that justice isn't determined by the loudest accuser."
