Chapter 19 - The Final Sentencing Of Ethan And Victoria
Six months later, the federal criminal trial of Ethan and Victoria Montgomery reached its historic conclusion at the federal courthouse.
The courtroom was packed to capacity as Judge Harrison prepared to deliver the final sentences for federal fraud, conspiracy, and attempted extortion.
Ethan sat at the defense table in handcuffs, his face gaunt and defeated, while Victoria wept silently beside her court-appointed attorney.
David sat in the witness box, having delivered devastating testimony detailing how his brother had attempted to end his life twelve years prior.
Judge Harrison looked down from her bench, her expression stern as she addressed the convicted couple.
"Your cold indifference toward your own family and child demonstrates a profound lack of humanity," Judge Harrison declared sternly.
"I sentence you, Ethan Montgomery, to forty years in a federal penitentiary without the possibility of early parole," she ruled, slamming her gavel down.
