Collier's Story, Pt. 3: What it's like to be a child witness at your father's murder trial.

Collier Landry and Brenda Fisher discuss the days around his father's murder trial. After his father, Dr. John F. Boyle, Jr., was arrested, Collier was thrown into the foster care system, where he would stay until non-family members adopted him. Given the gravity of the situation surrounding the murder of his mother by his father, immediate family members found themselves paralyzed by their trauma and unable to come forward to try and help Collier and his sister. Given the nature of Collier's witness status, all of the adults in his life tried to shield him from watching TV, reading newspapers, etc. Collier discusses community members who were conflicted and couldn't believe that their doctor could commit such a horrific act of violence.
