Chapter 7 - Cracks in the Family FrontDuring the weekend recess before jury deliberations, the united front between my parents and brother completely shattered.
Inside the county holding facility, separated into different cell blocks, Nolan broke down under the immense weight of facing twenty-five years in state prison.
He requested an emergency meeting with Prosecutor Sarah Jenkins.
Sitting in an interrogation room in his orange jumpsuit, Nolan wept hysterically, laying the entire blame on our parents.
âIt was my motherâs idea!â Nolan confessed, his voice recorded on state wire. âShe was furious that Grandpa left sixty percent of his estate to Elena in his original will! She told my dad that if we didn't move him out to the shed and get the power of attorney signed, Elena would inherit everything and leave us with nothing!â
âAnd what was your role, Nolan?â Prosecutor Jenkins asked coldly.
âI... I paid Greg Miller ten thousand dollars to notarize the forged deeds,â Nolan whimpered, dropping his head onto the metal table. âI bought the sedatives online using a crypto wallet! Please... Iâll testify against my parents! Just give me a deal!â
