Chapter 19 - Absolute Justice Prevails In The Federal District Court

The day of sentencing finally arrived in the federal district court, drawing massive crowds of reporters and spectators.
Richard and Victoria Sterling stood before Judge Arthur in their orange prison jumpsuits, awaiting their final judgment.
