Chapter 6 - The Prosecutor Unveils The Forged Federal Documents
The prosecutor projected digital copies of Vance Shield Recovery’s original federal procurement applications onto the large courtroom screens.
“Commander Sterling, do you recognize the signature listed as C. Sterling on this Department of Veterans Affairs contractor agreement?” the prosecutor asked.
I stepped down from the stand to inspect the high-resolution projection displayed directly in front of the jury box.
“I do; that signature is a crude digital forgery copied from my actual military discharge counseling records,” I answered clearly.
“Did you ever authorize Luke Sterling or Vance Shield Recovery to utilize your name, service record, or veteran status for business?” the prosecutor pressed.
“Never,” I replied firmly. “I was deployed in the Western Pacific when these fraudulent applications were filed with the federal government.”
