Chapter 13 - Richard’s DefenseMy father finally gave interview.

He admitted forming entities.
Called them “asset protection.”
Warehouse transfer?
“Tax-efficient restructuring.”
Guarantees?
“Temporary liquidity support.”
Fake signatures?
“Delegated authorization.”
Hospital form?
“Protective contingency.”
Every wrongdoing received respectable noun.
Ruiz asked:
“Did Claire authorize?”
“She benefited from family wealth.”
“That isn't authorization.”
Richard smiled.
“She never objected before.”
Because I never knew.
He saw silence as consent.
Again.
Ruiz asked about Vanessa.
“Did you tell her to stop Claire?”
“I told my daughters to resolve disagreement.”
Video said handle her.
He claimed phrase nonviolent.
Possible.
No evidence he ordered kick.
Prosecutors stayed precise.
Fraud case strong.
Assault conspiracy less clear.
They would not overcharge just because he was awful.

I appreciated that.
Justice not revenge.
