Chapter 19 - The Conviction And Sentencing Of Teresa Bradley

In a packed federal courtroom, the judge delivered the final verdict after a brief three-day trial filled with damning evidence. Teresa was sentenced to eighteen years in federal prison, while Betsy and Mason received eight years each for their active roles.
As bailiffs led Teresa away in chains, she looked back at Connor, expecting a sign of pity or hesitation in his eyes. Connor stood tall beside his wife, looking back at her with absolute, unyielding coldness as the courtroom doors shut.
