Brenda takes the stand and swears.
She is asked if Kwame has been in any danger, living with her.
She says her has never been in any overt danger as she makes sure her house is properly baby-proof.
She agrees that Nosa is Kwame’s father but has had no contact with him in the last six months.
Her lawyer asks if Nosa at least contributes to the baby’s upkeep to which Brenda replies that he has never contributed a dime.
She says she reached out to him but he didn't seem interested in seeing Kwame; the only time he said he was coming, he didn't show up and didn't call.
The prosecutor cross-examines Brenda.
She points out the issue with Kwame’s last name, saying, in our culture children bear the names of their fathers.
Brenda asks what culture that would be because in Ghana, where she is from, children bear their mothers’ names.
The lawyer says she has imported the culture.
She asks if Brenda can deny that once the child was born, she systematically started cutting ties with the father , meaning she got married just to have the baby.
Brenda says she didn't need to marry to have a baby; she says Nosa ended the marriage by having an affair, she endured the marriage despite that, till it was apparent he was no longer interested.
The lawyer switches gear and asks if she has a nanny.
Brenda says she has a male servant.
The lawyer misfires by asking if she thinks it is appropriate to have a male care-giver.
Brenda says there is absolutely nothing wrong with a male care-giver and if the prosecutor thinks otherwise then she wonders why she would then believe that her client, Nosa, will be able to take care of Kwame.
General discomfort from Nosa's camp.
