Patricia's turn. Required to testify; attorney present but cannot speak for her. She's sworn in. Wilson leads questioning.
"Ms. Whitman, why did all twenty-three calls target residents of color?"
"That's not accurate. I called about legitimate concerns regardless of demographics."
"The record shows zero calls about white residents. Zero in eighteen months. Explain."
"I don't track demographics. I respond to situations."
Wilson reads the leaked email, full text: "Preserve neighborhood character. You know what I mean? What did you mean?"
Patricia's face flushes: "That was out of context! Property values are legitimate concerns!"
"What context makes 'you know what I mean' acceptable?"
No good answer.
"Your son received $85,000 from the HOA during your presidency. Conflict of interest."
"That was a board decision."
"But you voted for your son's company for double the previous rate."
"I disclosed the relationship."
Wilson produces minutes: "No disclosure documented. You're under oath, Ms. Whitman."
Caught lying on camera: public record.
