Three weeks passed very quickly after that scary morning event.
The sun was shining bright outside the city court building.
Mark sat at a long wooden table with his lawyer.
Sarah sat right behind them in a clean dress suit.
Victoria sat on the other side with her defense lawyer.
She looked very tired and no longer wore expensive clothes.
The judge looked down from his high bench with authority.
He played the clear camera video for the courtroom jury.
Everyone saw Victoria pushing the crib toward the steep stairs.
They saw Sarah dive across the floor to save him.
A low whisper spread throughout the entire crowded room today.
The judge slammed his heavy wooden hammer down very hard.
Judge: The video evidence in this case is totally clear!
Victoria: It was all just a terrible mistake, Your Honor!
Judge: You showed extreme cruelty toward a helpless baby child!
Victoria: Please show me mercy and give me a chance!
Judge: You are sentenced to five years in state prison!
Victoria began to weep loudly as the handcuffs clicked shut.
The police officers led her away through a side door.
Mark stood up and shook his divorce lawyer's strong hand.
The marriage was completely over and declared fully void today.
The entire family inheritance was safe for little baby Leo.
Mark walked over to Sarah with a bright warm smile.
Mark: justice has finally been served for my dear son.
Sarah: I am so happy he can grow up safe.
Mark: He needs someone like you to raise him right.
Sarah: What do you mean by that, Mr. Sterling?
Mark: I want you to become his official full guardian.
Sarah put her hands over her mouth in pure shock.
She had never expected such a wonderful offer before today.
Teardrops of pure joy ran down her gentle pale cheeks.
She looked at the sweet baby sleeping in his carrier.
Their difficult lives were about to change for the better.
