Chapter 19 - The Court Arraignment Shocks High Society
The federal courthouse steps in downtown Manhattan were swarming with reporters, camera crews, and curious onlookers.
Bianca and Marcus were led up the stone steps in matching orange jumpsuits, surrounded by armed federal marshals.
Inside the packed courtroom, Judge Harrison presided over the high-profile arraignment with an unyielding expression.
The prosecutor detailed the extensive charges: wire fraud, tax evasion, child endangerment, and malicious psychological torture.

“No contest, Your Honor,” Marcus mumbled defeatfully, staring down at the polished wooden defense table.
“Guilty on all counts, pending sentencing,” Judge Harrison banged his gavel with sharp, resounding finality.
