Chapter 16 - Jessica Parents Arrive To Defend Her Making Worse
Later that week, Jessica’s wealthy parents flew in from Chicago, attempting to salvage what remained of their reputation.
They held an impromptu press conference on the courthouse steps, claiming their daughter was the victim of a smear campaign.
“Our daughter is an innocent angel who was manipulated and abused by a ruthless billionaire family!” her father declared.
The reporter pool laughed openly at his absurd defense in the face of unassailable federal video evidence.
A prosecutor stepped up to the podium immediately after, holding up the boutique security flash drive.
“We have unedited video of Ms. Vance assaulting an elderly woman and audio of her bragging about financial fraud,” the prosecutor stated.
Jessica’s parents turned pale as flashbulbs blinded them, realizing they had just publicly endorsed a felon.
They hurried back into their rented town car without answering another single question from reporters.
