Chapter 21 / 27
Chapter 21 - The verdict
Mixed.
Guilty:
Felony child endangerment.
Aggravated assault on Noah.
False statement relating to accusation against Lily.
Not guilty:
The prosecution’s broader attempted evidence-fabrication conspiracy theory tied to Grant.

That was fair.
Civil evidence can suggest.
Criminal verdict requires more.
The judge later said:

“The acquittal does not make the placement communications irrelevant to motive. It means the state did not prove the charged conspiracy.”
Exactly.
