“Do you have anything else to add, Claudia?”

“You’re still listening?”

“It’s my job to listen, Claudia. Besides, it was an interesting story. In places.”

“Then you believe me?”

“It’s not my job to believe or disbelieve, Claudia. I am here to listen.”

“What happens next?”

“I prepare a transcript and summary of our conversation and turn it over to the Board. It is the hope of your counsel that this will offer the Board some better sense of the context in which you made the decisions you did.”

“Do you think it will help?”

“I don’t know, Claudia. I can only say that I wish you the very best of luck.”

“With the trial?”

“No, Claudia. With your life.”
