Veronica King is the widow of alleged serial rapist and murder victim Henry King.
History[]
Veronica, a native from rural North Carolina, married and was a staunch defender of Henry, a famous singer and previously beloved American icon guilty of raping 40 women, against the women and everyone else after Henry, participating in the vulgar smear campaign. Henry was imprisoned for four years for the rapes of Nicole Bell, but because she filed a civil suit against Henry and prosecutor Jamie Ross granted Henry immunity for deposition, the conviction was overturned on a technicality.
When Henry was shot dead outside their home, Veronica originally seemed distraught, as well as was unable to provide security footage from a camera system not installed for years, which she never worried about in her home town. She was later revealed to have been drinking at a bar near the scene where Henry was murdered, around the allotted window of time. She knew for a fact Henry was dead when the bartender mumbled the murder "serves the bastard right". Revealing her true hared of Henry and saying she supported the women Henry raped, she led the detectives to the real killer, Nicole Bell, who Veronica saw wearing a green hoodie and sunglasses that night.
Veronica was later subpoenaed by Nicole's defense to perjure herself on the stand, manipulating Veronica's guilt. Veronica said she witnessed Henry shouting misogynistic slurs at Nicole, chasing her out of the house, and grabbing her, before she heard gunshots. Price confronted her on her publicity, first in support of Henry, then the women Henry raped. Veronica tried to argue she was defending brands, but Price questioned why she'd change. Veronica's statement was wavering in validity, especially since the bar manager knew her and testified she was there at the time. Price nearly lost the case due to reiterating the slurs of the smear campaign against the accusers, but Maroun delivered an impassioned closing argument from her sister's rape-murder not being met with justice, securing Nicole's conviction when she affirmed vigilantism isn't the answer.
It's unknown if Veronica faced penalties for perjury.
