Chapter 12 - THE TRIAL THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN
Leonor ultimately accepted a plea agreement before trial.
The prosecution had strong evidence but still faced questions about exact doses, timing of individual exposures, and her precise intent during each episode.
The terrace conduct was clearer.
Her agreement required admissions covering deliberate contamination that endangered Mateo and intentional violent conduct against me.

So did repeated exposure.
So did his age.
So did planning.
So did my injuries.
Leonor received a substantial prison sentence consistent with the resolved offenses, followed by restrictions designed to protect Mateo.
No hundred-year fantasy.
No courtroom applause.
When the judge finished, nobody celebrated.
Nicolás lowered his head.
I cried.

Leonor looked at her son.
He did not look back.
