A scene from “The Family Hour”

Connie: There is nothing imagined about the wrongs of Trina's childhood. Whatever she was in her adult life, she learned from a master. Randall Bailey had a pathological need to abuse his daughter. A need that he finally took to its logical, deadly conclusion. And thanks to a tricked-up claim of self-defense that has been a staple of crime fiction for decades, he thinks he can get away with it. But consider this. Six foot, 180 pounds versus 5'5", 110 pounds. Consider thirteen deep, devastating stab wounds, versus eight pin pricks. Consider what it took to drive this knife through meat and bone, into the body of his own daughter. [stabs a book with Senator Bailey's knife repeatedly] Not once, not twice, but thirteen times. This was not paternal love, or instinct! No, it was murderous rage!
