The courtroom was silent as the witness seated herself in the chair. The witness, a young Filipino nurse named Corasón Amaral, was just 4-11.

But despite her diminutive stature, she sat tall in her chair, ready to answer any question about the events that took place on July 13, 1966, a night that was undoubtedly the most traumatic of her life.

Corasón, also known as Cora, was the sole survivor of and witness to a massacre that killed eight of her roommates and fellow student nurses.

The prosecutor and law enforcement were worried that Cora would not be able to testify that the shock and trauma of that night would incapacitate her, especially with the attacker watching her from the defense table.

They could not have been more wrong.

The nurse would not be so easily intimidated. After all, she was living some 8,000 miles away from her home country.

Shortly after the direct examination began, Cora recalled her first encounter with the attacker.

After hearing a knock at the door, she opened it, and the man, all dressed in black, pointed a gun at her.

The prosecutor asked if she saw that man in court. After Cora said, yes, she was instructed to step down from the witness stand and identify the man.

Cora stood up and walked quietly towards the defense table.

She looked at the three men sitting there, the defendant and his two attorneys.

The nurse got within inches of the defendant and pointed her finger directly at his forehead.

In a clear voice that portrayed no signs of doubt or timidity, Cora stated, this is the man.

That man was Richard Speck, and because of Corason Amaral, his victims would get the justice they deserved.

Hello, I'm Hannah.

And I'm Sirete. And we are the hosts of A Red Handed, a weekly true crime podcast.

Every week on Red Handed, we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

From the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Short Hand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.
