Caught Out
Roger was shocked when all his lies and threats came to light for everyone to see. He looked at his amazed lawyer, understanding there was no way out. The kid he’d skillfully tricked had told everyone what Roger had done.
In his head, a worried voice told him to make the dog stop barking. He hadn’t treated his wife well, yet believed it was his caring way to keep her controlled. But was he right?
The Sentence
The court, after a brief break to discuss new data, came back ready for the verdict. The judge started seriously at Roger. “Mr. Miller, your harsh approach towards this helpless lady and child has been awful,” he stated. “You scared them in the most extreme ways, manhandled and tricked them. You also started a baseless lawsuit against your wife, looking to be the guardian of a child you don’t care about and aren’t fit to care for. You harmed an innocent animal.
You will serve eight years in prison.” Janet, I grant you full custody of your daughter, contingent upon your participation in a supported detox program,” he added.”
