Chapter 14 - Victoria Receives Her Sentence In Federal Court

The courtroom was packed to capacity as Victoria Vance stood before the federal judge for her final sentencing hearing. She wore a plain black dress, her head bowed as her high-priced public defender tried to argue for leniency based on her lack of prior convictions.
The judge adjusted his glasses, looking down at Victoria with stern, unyielding eyes. "Ms. Vance, your actions demonstrate a calculated, heartless disregard for family trust and financial law," the judge ruled firmly.
"You are hereby sentenced to seven years in a federal penitentiary, followed by three years of supervised release and full restitution," he announced. Victoria fainted into her attorney's arms as the gavel struck the bench, concluding her fall from grace.
