The county courtroom was filled with local reporters and observers.
Margarethe sat at the defense table wearing an expensive suit.
Her high-priced lawyer was whispering soft instructions into her ear.
Hannah sat near the front row beside Mark and her legal team.
Judge Thomas entered the room and sat down behind the bench.
He slammed his heavy wooden gavel down onto the desk hard.
Judge: Court is now in session regarding the estate incident.
The prosecutor stood up and walked toward the big video screen.
Prosecutor: Your Honor, we have retrieved verified security footage today.
Margarethe: That video is fake and has been altered digitally!
Judge: Silence in the courtroom, or I will cite you!
The lights inside the courtroom were dimmed for the video playback.
The clear camera video played on the large monitor screen clearly.
Everyone in the courtroom watched the hallway video in utter shock.
The video clearly showed Margarethe grabbing Hannah's pearl necklace roughly.
It showed Margarethe shoving Hannah toward the steep staircase steps.
Gasps sounded out from the people sitting in the gallery seats.
Margarethe covered her face with her hands in complete embarrassment.
Margarethe: This is a setup to steal my entire estate!
Prosecutor: The evidence shows a deliberate attack on Miss Hannah.
Defense Lawyer: Your Honor, my client was stressed and confused.
Mark: She tried to delete the files to cover her crime!
Judge Thomas looked down at the documents on his big desk.
His expression was stern and filled with deep disapproval today.
Judge: The video footage provides clear proof of severe actions.
Hannah took a deep breath and felt a huge weight lift off.
She knew that justice was finally going to be served fairly.
Margarethe tried to stand up from her chair in a panic.
Margarethe: I demand to speak to my personal estate manager!
Judge: You will sit down and listen to my ruling now.
