Anna listened to Sams version of what happened and when he finished she said, "what do you think about Ms. Millers testimony"?, he said, "she's lying,
she's totally delusional". Anna said, "so what you're saying is that none of what she said is true"?, he said, "that's correct", she looked up at the judge and said, "the defense rests your honor".
She looked over at the prosecution and said, "do you have any questions for the defendant"?, she stood up and said, "only one mam", she stepped forward she said, "your account sounds very believable except for one thing". Sam smiled and said, "what is the one thing"?, she picked up a picture and said, "Mrs. Garcia Morgan was shot some years back is that right"?, he nodded his head and said, "yes but what does that have to do with your question"?, she said, "she has scars on her stomach and chest area but here in the picture there aren't any".
Sam opened his mouth and said, "I I I", the prosecutor said, "I have no further questions for this witness", she then walked over and sat down in her seat. The judge said, "you may step down", everybody listened as the prosecution and defense both gave their closing arguements and while the judge gave the jury their directions.
Fran and the girls stood up and walked out of the courtroom when the jury went out for deliberation, Fran pulled out her cell and dialed Dereks number and after a few rings he heard, "hi momma, how is everything"?, Fran said, "the jury just went into deliberation, how are my daughter in law and my grandaughter doing"?, he laughed and said, "both sleeping right now but they are doing great".
Fran said, "has the doctor been in yet"?, Derek said, "yeah, they're both doing great and Melody only got up 2 times lastnight", Fran said, "you were the same way baby boy". Derek laughed and said, "did the team show up for court today"?, Fran said, "they were here but got called away before court started, I was assuming that they got called away on a case".
Derek said, "yeah they did, Hotch called me and told me that they were heading out to South Carolina", Fran and Derek continued talking for a few minutes before the baitliff came out and said, "the jury have reached their decision. Fran said, "baby boy did you hear that"?, he said, "I sure did momma, I sure did".
She said, "we're going to head back in I'll let you know what happens just as soon as I can", Derek said, "okay momma, I talk to you soon", after the call ended Fran and the girls headed back inside to see Sam smiling as he sat there talking to Logan. The baitliff said, "all rise", everybody stood as the judge came back into the room and sat down.
The jury was brought in and the judge looked at them and said, "have you reached a verdict"?, the foreman stood up and said, "we have your honor", she looked at Sam and said, "please stand while the verdict is being read". Sam and Anna stood there facing the jury as the foreman said, "on the first count of kidnapping we find the defendant guilty".
Sam shook his head and said, "no no no", the foreman said, "on the second count of rape we find the defentant guilty", Sam looked over his shoulder at Logan. The foreman said, "and on the final count of assault of a FBI agent, we find the defendant guilty", Sam said, "this can't be, this just can't be".
The judge said, "sit down and shut up", Sam sat down and listened as the judge released the jury from the room, she then turned her attention to Sam and said, "being found guilty of all three charges it is within my scope to give you life in prison without the possibility of parole". Sam said, "noooooooo you can't do that".
The judge banged her gavel on the desk and said, "I can and I will", she looked at the stenographer and said, "let it be known that the defendant is to spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole". She took a deep breath and said, "what you put that poor woman through was deplorable and you will pay for your crimes".
She looked at Logan and said, "so will your counterpart", she ordered the officers to take Logan into custody and he was pulled from the room kicking and screaming with Sam right behind him in handcuffs. After the judge left the courtroom Fran and the girls headed out of the courtroom where Fran dialed her sons number.
After a few rings Derek said, "how did it go momma"?, Fran said, "it's all over baby boy, he got life without the possibility of parole and to make it even better they arrested Logan right in the middle of the courtroom". Derek smiled and said, "that's great momma", what Fran didn't know was that Derek and his little family were in the car heading home and he had put the phone on speaker.
Penelope said, "that's great news Fran", she grinned and said, "how are you feeling sweetie"?, she said, "better now, I can't believe that everything is finally over". Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "believe it baby girl, believe it", Fran said, "I'm going to let you go honey and give my daughter in law and grandaughter kisses for me".
Derek laughed and said, "I will momma, I will", after the call ended Penelope said, "I am so happy that the part of my life involving Sam is finally over". Derek kissed the top of her hand and said, "now we can focus on our family and push all those unpleasant memories out of our heads", she smiled at him and said, "that we can my love, that we can".
