His agreement required restitution for financial losses and investigative costs where applicable, probation conditions after sentencing, financial restrictions, and cooperation regarding the forged documents.
Whether incarceration would be imposed remained for the judge.
I submitted a victim-impact statement.
I wrote it myself.
Not Robert.
Not a prosecutor.
My greatest loss is not money. No loan funded. My house remains mine. My greatest loss is that my son used my trust as an authentication method. He knew where my papers were because I believed family access was safe.
I stopped there for an hour.
Then continued.
I do not ask the court to destroy his life. I ask the court not to confuse family relationship with reduced seriousness. If a stranger had done this, nobody would call it a misunderstanding.
At sentencing, David cried.
I did too.
The judge imposed consequences reflecting his guilty plea, cooperation, financial harm risk, and lack of prior criminal history.
Not nothing.
Not theatrical destruction.
Real consequences.
David looked at me once before leaving.

That was all.
