Delonda was clearly concerned that participating, in this case, might jeopardize her safety. Detective Williams assured her that he would protect her at all costs. That portion didn’t bother her nearly as much. She was well-educated enough to understand the judicial system. Her main concern was whether he would be released on bail throughout the trial.
