Chapter 14 - Sarah Faces Her First Arraignment In County Court
The county courthouse steps were swarming with reporters, camera crews, and angry protesters holding supportive signs.
Sarah was led out of a transport van in an orange jumpsuit, hiding her face behind unkempt hair and handcuffs.
Flashbulbs popped relentlessly as she pushed her way through the media scrum under heavy police escort.
Inside the packed courtroom, Judge Harrison presided over the initial arraignment with stern, uncompromising dignity.
“Sarah Jenkins, you stand charged with multiple counts of felony child abuse, neglect, and endangerment,” the judge read.
Sarah’s court-appointed defense attorney attempted to argue for a reduced bail due to lack of prior criminal record.
Judge Harrison slammed his gavel down instantly, denying bail entirely due to the extreme risk of flight and public danger.
“The brutality inflicted upon helpless children shocks the conscience of this entire judicial district,” Judge Harrison stated coldly.
