Good evening. Today we all stopped to watch an incredible human drama in a cleveland courtroom. A tiny woman, a survivor, summoning the powering strength to stare down the man who had abused her for 11 years. When she finished in the bizarre turn, the kidnapper blamed his victims and insisted he was not a monster. He was somehow misunderstood. Abcs alex perez takes us through the stunning showdown. Reporter she was his first victim, enduring 11 long years of abuse and torture. Today Michelle Knight stood tall hugged those around her and faced down the man who held her captive. Day turned into night, night turned into day. Years turned into eternity. I knew nobody cared about me. He told me that my family didnt care. Reporter knight was 21 years old when castro lured her in with promises of a puppy for her son. Amanda berry 16 when she was abducted. Today shes 27. Gina dejesus was 14. Now 23. Gina was my teammate. She never let me fall. I never let her fall. She nursed me back to health
