Chapter 10 - THE BAIL HEARING
Inside courtroom 302 of the Manhattan Supreme Court, media cameras flashed continuously as Judge Miller took the bench.
Vanessa Vance stood at the defense table wearing a dark grey prison jumpsuit, her blonde hair messy and unstyled.
Her high-priced defense attorney stood beside her, arguing passionately for immediate release on bail.
"Your Honor, my client is a pillar of society with zero prior criminal record," the attorney argued smoothly.
Prosecutor Thomas stepped up, plugging a flash drive into the courtroom projection screen.
The high-definition footage from Nathan's kitchen played on massive monitors for the entire courtroom to see.
The horrific video clearly showed Vanessa violently striking Hannah with the steel golf club in front of the child.
Gasps of horror echoed through the gallery, causing several jurors to cover their mouths in shock.
"Bail is denied. The defendant will remain in custody pending trial," Judge Miller ruled, striking his heavy wooden gavel.
