Chapter 9 - The Handcuff VerdictSix months later, the federal trial concluded at the United States District Court.
The jury deliberated for less than forty-five minutes before returning a unanimous GUILTY verdict on all twenty-eight felony counts.
The federal judge delivered a scathing ruling from the bench:
âEvelyn, Ryan, and Brooke Vance operated with a level of sociopathic greed and domestic cruelty that shocks the conscience of this court. To abuse a pregnant woman to steal an estate represents the absolute lowest form of human depravity.â
Ryan was sentenced to twenty-two years in federal prison.
