Chapter 10 - THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE HEARING
The morning sun illuminated the steps of the Travis County Courthouse, where local reporters gathered holding microphones.
Ethan walked up the granite steps wearing a sharp charcoal gray suit, holding Maya’s hand as security guided them through the press.
Inside courtroom 3B, Victoria Montgomery sat at the defense table alongside a team of four high-priced defense attorneys.
She was wearing a somber gray blouse, but her venomous eyes glared at Maya with psychotic intensity.
Richard sat in the front gallery row, crossing his arms and smirking arrogance as if he owned the entire building.
Judge Thomas presided over the emergency hearing, pounding his wooden gavel to bring the noisy courtroom to order.
"We are here to consider the emergency protective order filed by Ethan Montgomery against Victoria Montgomery," Judge Thomas announced.
Ethan's lead attorney stood up, presenting the indoor security camera footage on the large courtroom projection screens.
The horrifying footage played in high definition, capturing Victoria sweeping the hot tea toward baby Liam's stroller.
