“That wasn’t him,” Ben interrupted.
“Maybe he didn’t physically cut you, but it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for him, would it? If you hadn’t been in the woods you wouldn’t have fallen.”
“No, it wasn’t his fault at all. I did that, I cut it against the fence.” Ben paused, before adding, “On purpose.”
“And you’re saying it wasn’t him who drove you to it? Tell me, have you ever cut yourself before?”
Ben shook his head, no. It was the truth, he hadn’t.
“Exactly, and were you planning on doing it before you got to the woods?”
Ben shook his head again.
“So what you’re saying is you got upset, Richard upset you, and you were so angry and upset that without thinking you cut yourself. Sounds like his fault.”
