I think Aaron will find giving his evidence as the first witness the most difficult & embarrassing & I do wonder if he would actually want most of his family in court supporting him on the day he takes the stand & has to describe his rapes in intimate detail (which we won't see). He may not want them there to hear his own testomony & may prefer them to come & support him on other days & just have his mum & Robert there when he takes the stand.
