My Sister Slapped My Six-Year-Old at Her Own Birthday Party—Then Threatened Me With the Mother Who Was Watching Everything Live
/
Chapter 19 / 27
Chapter 19 - The mixed verdict
Marietta was convicted of:
Two counts of false reimbursement submission.
One count of obtaining funds by false representation.
She was acquitted of:
One duplicate-reimbursement count where evidence did not prove she knew accounting had already processed the first payment.
She was also acquitted of a broader scheme count covering all three years because the program’s informality created reasonable doubt about some transactions.
Mixed verdict.
No declaration that every gift she ever gave Claire was stolen.
Then sentencing delayed.
Civil accounting still active.
My mother did not attend verdict.
She watched no livestream this time.
She told me:
May you like
“I have watched enough family trials on screens.”
Fair.
