The Boy's Brother First Said Sister Pushed Him, Now Says Mom Did: Defense | Pt 12

Three accounts of the same leg break. The 8-year-old who told a forensic interviewer one story is now 11, and the story has moved again. Major Heallerud was 6 when Alex died, 8 when he sat for two recorded forensic interviews. He is 11 now. He walked into the courtroom wearing red. The gallery behind the State was a solid block of red. Alex's favorite color was red. Major took the stand and looked at the mother he had not seen in three years. The State asked broad questions. Did mom hurt Alex. Yes. How. She hit, punched, kicked, choked him. The defense did not need a recant. It needed Major on the record about three years of rallies, custom biker vests, gifts, and a gallery in red for his testimony. Watch the cross take the ground out from under it. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 03:21 to 11:20 - State direct. Broad questions, broad answers. Mom hit, punched, kicked, choked Alex. The day-before-death moment lands: two hands on Alex's neck, the State's closing piece on the record. 19:29 to 20:36 - The third version of the leg break. Major says his mother pushed Alex down the basement stairs from behind. The first forensic interview said Aria pushed Alex. The second said mom bent his leg in her room. Three accounts, three mechanisms. 32:17 to 33:25 - Cross opens with the staging. Family wore red. Family brought him to "Justice for Alexavier" gatherings. Bikers Against Child Abuse gave him a custom vest with "In Memory of Alexavier" on it. All of it after his mom was accused. 59:53 to 1:05:38 - The closet. Defense projects a video still: Major hiding inside a closet, crying. He confirms Derek hurt his mother. Choked his mother. Drank often enough the police came. Derek's violence on the record from his son's mouth. 1:25:32 to 1:38:51 - The contradiction inventory and the bedroom curtain. Punching never told to Swedberg. Mom-pushed-Alex-down-stairs never told, Aria did it three years ago. Choking one hand then, two hands now. Then the defense projects exhibit 244: the red curtain pinned to the wall on the day Alex died. Major says he saw mom bend Alex's leg in her room from outside the room. The curtain blocks vision. 2:03:50 to 2:08:49 - State redirect runs a forced-choice rhythm. Lots of days. Felt unsafe. Wanted Alex not around mom. Recross seals it: no other children in the room, no bumps, no bruises, no black eyes, no fat lips on Alex. --- COMPLETE CASE COVERAGE justiceisaprocess.com SUBSCRIBE for daily trial coverage and hit the notification bell so you never miss testimony.
