Chapter 19 - Grant Receives Maximum Federal Prison Sentence

The final verdict hearing concluded on a crisp Friday afternoon with the entire courtroom holding its breath.
Judge Harrison banged his gavel firmly, delivering the final sentencing disposition.
“Grant Sterling, for the crimes of federal wire fraud, grand larceny, and corporate forgery, I sentence you to fifteen years without parole.”
Gasps echoed through the gallery as the heavy sentence echoed off the courtroom walls.
Grant stared blankly ahead, his mouth opening slightly as the realization of spending his prime years behind bars hit him.
Federal marshals stepped forward immediately, placing handcuffs back onto his wrists with a cold metallic click.
He was hauled out of the courtroom through a side exit, vanishing from high society forever.
