Chapter 3 – Judgment Day

Chapter 3 – Judgment Day
Three months later, the courtroom was packed.
Journalists lined every bench.
The prosecution presented the recordings exactly as Valeria had preserved them.
Every threat.
Every forged document.
Every illegal medical order.
The defense attempted to argue that the recordings had been manipulated.
Then the forensic experts testified.
The metadata matched perfectly.
The timestamps were authentic.
The audio had never been altered.
One by one, the nurses admitted they had acted under pressure.
Several confessed they feared losing their jobs if they refused Rebeca's orders.
Dr. Salgado eventually broke down on the witness stand.
He admitted receiving large payments through shell companies connected to Octavio.
When the judge asked Rebeca if she wished to make a statement, she stood proudly.
"I did what was necessary to protect my family's legacy."
The courtroom fell silent.
The judge looked directly at her.
"A family's legacy is not protected by destroying innocent people."
"It is protected by honoring the law."
The verdict was delivered.
Rebeca Alcázar was found guilty of conspiracy, coercion, fraud, and attempted unlawful deprivation of parental rights.
Octavio Alcázar was convicted of document forgery, criminal conspiracy, and obstruction of justice.
