Chapter 13 - The Scales of Justice
Eight months later, the criminal trial concluded at the downtown municipal courthouse.
Ryan and Megan sat at the defense table wearing dark orange prison jumpsuits, their hair unkempt, their former luxury lifestyle completely stripped away.
Judge Montgomery presided over the bench, her face stern as she reviewed the evidence binder submitted by Arthur Vance and the District Attorney.
"Ryan Vance and Megan Vance," Judge Montgomery declared, her voice booming across the packed courtroom. "Your conduct toward a vulnerable family member was not only illegal, but morally repulsive. You weaponized medical fraud and chemical sedation against your own mother for financial gain."
The judge slammed her wooden gavel onto the sound block.
"Ryan Vance is sentenced to eight years in state prison for grand larceny, forgery, and elder abuse. Megan Vance is sentenced to six years for felony conspiracy and unlawful administration of controlled substances."
