I've been thinking about justice - and how Molly will never get it. I settled the lawsuit and took money and I wonder if that's a mistake. If I hadn't taken it I could tell so many stories about people's characters and that's its own kind of justice. It's a balancing act: I now have money to help others, but I can never reveal the full truth.
