Chapter 20 - Facing The Final Legal Judgment
The final chapter of Julian’s legal nightmare arrived on a rainy Tuesday morning in federal district court.
Judge Vance handed down the maximum consecutive sentences for corporate fraud, asset theft, and aggravated domestic assault.

Julian slumped forward into his hands, weeping openly as the bailiffs grabbed his arms to escort him away forever.
