Chapter 19 - Sarah Faces Her Arraignment In A Federal Courtroom
Inside the towering federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, Sarah Hale stood before the federal magistrate in chains.
The formal charges listed kidnapping, wire fraud, identity theft, identity falsification, and conspiracy against a federal citizen.
Her attorney attempted a weak plea for reduced bail, citing her prominent background in community philanthropy.
“Given the extreme nature of the confinement and active flight risk, bail is denied outright,” the magistrate ruled firmly.
Sarah wept openly, realizing her beauty, wealth, and social status could not buy her way out of a decades-long prison sentence.
She was led away in heavy shackles, her disgraced name splashed across national television news broadcasts.
