Chapter 12 - Brenda’s High-Price Defense Team Fabricates a False Story
Inside the downtown county courthouse, Brenda sat at the defense table wearing a crisp grey suit.
Her high-priced defense attorney, Marcus Sterling, stood up to address the judge with an arrogant smile.
“Your Honor, my client is a victim of a vicious smear campaign orchestrated by a delusional husband,” Sterling argued.
“The so-called secret cameras were installed for home security purposes, and the financial transfers were authorized.”
The judge frowned, reviewing the initial arrest report filed by Officer Miller regarding the upside-down child.
“Authorized by whom, Mr. Sterling? The four-year-old boy who was hanging by his ankles?” the judge questioned sharply.
Sterling stammered for a second, adjusting his silk tie before trying to pivot the narrative back.
“The child was merely playing a family game that was grossly misinterpreted by panicked neighbors,” the lawyer lied smoothly.
Before the judge could respond, the heavy oak doors of the courtroom swung open with a loud bang.
