Chapter 14 - The Jury Delivers A Swift Unanimous Verdict
Following closing arguments from both legal teams, the jury retired to deliberate on the multiple felony charges of kidnapping, assault, and extortion. Legal commentators expected deliberations to last several days due to the massive volume of financial evidence.
However, after only fifty minutes, the jury knocked on the door to announce they had reached a unanimous verdict on all counts. The courtroom fell into absolute silence as the head juror stood up to read the court's findings.

"On the count of aggravated kidnapping, we find the defendant, Ryan Miller, guilty," the juror read clearly. "On the count of felony assault, guilty; on the count of grand theft, guilty. On all counts regarding Tiffany Sterling, guilty."
Loud gasps and cheers filled the public gallery as the verdicts were formally entered into the legal record. Ryan collapsed onto the defense table, while Tiffany sobbed loudly as marshals applied heavy leg irons.
