Chapter 15 - General Vance's Federal Trial Concludes With Maximum Sentence
In March, the federal criminal trial of General Thomas Vance concluded at the United States District Court in Washington.
The evidence presented by Chloe’s team was so overwhelming that the jury took less than two hours to reach a verdict.
General Vance was found guilty on all counts of treason, corporate espionage, and misuse of federal procurement funds.
Federal District Judge Hayes sentenced the former general to thirty-five years in a maximum-security military prison facility.
As federal marshals led the disgraced general away in leg irons, he looked at Chloe in the gallery with defeated eyes.
Chloe offered no anger or triumph, simply watching justice take its rightful course under the firm gavel of American law.
