Three months passed before the court trial officially began downtown.
Ellen sat beside Mark in the front row of the courtroom.
Her bump was much larger now, near her full term date.
Sarah sat at the defense table wearing a orange jumpsuit.
Uncle Robert sat right next to her with his expensive lawyer.
Judge: Court is now in session for the Davis case.
Prosecutor: Your Honor, the evidence against both defendants is overwhelming.
The prosecutor displayed the home security video on large screens.
The court watched Sarah scream and force her way inside.
They saw the moment Ellen lost her balance and hit floor.
Gasps filled the crowded gallery as the video played through.
Sarah's Lawyer: My client was manipulated by her uncle, Your Honor!
Prosecutor: Manipulation does not excuse violent home invasion and assault!
Mark took the witness stand and looked straight at Sarah.
Prosecutor: Mr. Davis, tell us what happened that afternoon.
Mark: Sarah attacked my home and threatened my pregnant wife.
Mark: She showed zero remorse while my wife was down.
Sarah: Mark, please forgive me, I was so blind!
Judge: Silence in the court or you will be removed!
The prosecutor then brought up Uncle Robert's financial records.
Bank managers testified that Robert stole millions from family trusts.
He had used forged signatures to drain Sarah's money completely.
Prosecutor: Robert framed an innocent pregnant woman to hide theft.
Robert's Lawyer: We offer a plea deal for lesser charges.
Judge: Request denied given the severe harm caused to victims.
The jury deliberate for only two short hours that afternoon.
They returned to the courtroom with a unanimous guilty verdict.
Jury Foreman: We find both defendants guilty on all counts.
Sarah burst into loud tears and lowered her shaking head.
Uncle Robert stared blankly at the floor in absolute defeat.
Judge: Sarah Davis is sentenced to five years in prison.
Judge: Robert Davis is sentenced to twenty years in prison.
Mark held Ellen close as the judge banged his gavel down.
Justice had finally been served for their young growing family.
Ellen: It is finally over now, my loving husband.
Mark: Yes, now we can live our lives in peace.
