Chapter 12 - Presenting damning video footage to a federal grand jury that indicts three corrupt executives for fraud and evidence tampering in court today.
Inside the United States District Court in Brooklyn, the federal grand jury convened to review the complete criminal dossier against Victoria and Julian.
Harrison took the witness stand, presenting high-definition multi-angle security recordings showing Victoria sneaking the diamond necklace into Lily's bag.
The lead federal prosecutor projected the footage onto large courtroom screens, highlighting Victoria's deliberate movements and malicious expression.
"The evidence demonstrates a clear, unprovoked pattern of framing, witness intimidation, and corporate conspiracy," the prosecutor declared to the jury.
After less than thirty minutes of deliberation, the grand jury returned with a unanimous forty-count indictment against both defendants.
Julian and Victoria sat at the defense table in orange prison jumpsuits, their legal team sitting in defeated, helpless silence beside them.
Judge Robert Sterling slammed his gavel down sharply, setting trial dates and denying bail due to flight risk and witness tampering attempts.
"The defendants will remain in federal custody until final trial proceedings conclude," Judge Sterling ordered sternly from the bench.
