Judge Sterling did not hesitate for a single second before rendering her preliminary verdict from the bench.
“The emergency guardianship petition filed by Arthur and Clara Moretti is dismissed with absolute prejudice,” she announced firmly.
“Furthermore, I am granting full, unchallengeable sole custody of Ellie Moretti to her father, Nathan Moretti.”

“Additionally, I am ordering an immediate federal grand jury investigation into the family trust accounts,” Judge Sterling added.
