Chapter 15 - The Corrupt Manager Faces Criminal Charges In State Court
The state criminal court in downtown Manhattan was packed to capacity for Arthur Vance’s high-profile sentencing hearing.
Arthur stood before the presiding judge in a standard orange inmate jumpsuit, looking pale, defeated, and utterly hollowed out.
The mountain of embezzlement and wage theft evidence left zero room for legal maneuvering or mitigation arguments.
“Your systematic exploitation of vulnerable workers represents a grotesque betrayal of professional trust,” the judge stated coldly.
“I sentence you to eight years in a state correctional facility without the possibility of early parole release.”
The heavy wooden gavel slammed down with a resounding crack, sealing Arthur’s fate for the foreseeable future.
He bowed his head in bitter defeat as armed bailiffs led him away through the heavy steel courtroom doors.
