Chapter 24 - THE VERDICT
Caleb was convicted on the principal assault count involving the hospital, the serious assault count tied to the fall under the charged standard the jury found supported, and multiple fraud/forgery-related offenses.
He was acquitted on one narrower count that required proof of a specific intent prosecutors could not establish beyond reasonable doubt.
I felt relief.
Not disappointment.
The jury had not given me a revenge package.
They had separated facts.
Sentencing came later.
Substantial prison time.
Restitution.
Protective orders.
Restrictions on financial fiduciary roles after release.
No life sentence.

No courtroom cheering.
I went home exhausted.
