Chapter 12 - Prosecution Builds an Airtight Legal Case Against Her
Inside the downtown district attorney’s office, lead prosecutor Marcus Vance reviewed the overwhelming stack of evidence.
He looked across the conference table at Arthur and Elena with an expression of profound professional respect.
“With this financial ledger and the attic safe documents, we aren't just looking at attempted murder,” Marcus stated.
“We are looking at a federal RICO indictment for decades of orchestrated financial and medical fraud.”
Arthur nodded slowly, feeling a deep sense of validation wash over his exhausted mind.
“Can she make bail or cut a deal to reduce her prison sentence?” Arthur asked cautiously.
“Not with these files; federal judges don't show leniency to predatory criminals hiding behind family status,” Marcus assured him.
