Chapter 19 - The Verdict Is Delivered In The Packed Courtroom
Months later, the federal courtroom was packed to maximum capacity for the final verdict delivery in Victoria’s trial.
The jury foreman stood up, holding the crisp manila verdict sheet with a steady, unyielding expression.
“On all counts of attempted murder, corporate conspiracy, and grand larceny, we find the defendant guilty,” the foreman stated.
A collective gasp rippled through the gallery as the gavel struck the sounding block with absolute finality.
Judge Miller sentenced Victoria to forty years in a federal penitentiary without the possibility of parole.
She stared blankly ahead, realizing that her beauty, wealth, and arrogance could not buy her freedom from justice.
