Chapter 14 - The Arraignment Hearing Denies Bail For Margaret
The county courtroom was packed to capacity as Margaret was led in wearing heavy steel shackles and a bright orange jumpsuit.
Her styled silver hair was disheveled, and her arrogant demeanor had been completely replaced by nervous anxiety.
Judge Henderson presided over the arraignment with stern, uncompromising judicial dignity and sharp focus.
“The brutality and calculated malice of this domestic assault shock the conscience of this court,” Judge Henderson stated.
The prosecutor presented the formal indictment, highlighting the extreme risk of flight and danger to the community.
Jonathan Vance attempted to argue for conditional bail under house arrest, citing his client’s advanced age and health.
Judge Henderson slammed his gavel down instantly, cutting off the defense argument with an authoritative finality.
“Bail is definitively denied given the severity of the charges and clear attempts to intimidate witnesses,” the judge ruled.
