## Resource

An 81-year-old lawyer, Hilary Nelson, stunned the courtroom by confessing to stealing $855,000 from Errol Hewitt between late 2018 and early 2019—after initially pleading not guilty. His excuse? He couldn’t sell properties during the pandemic to repay the money, though he claimed he always intended to. The judge immediately found him guilty and sent him to jail, but his defense team requested a delay to bring in a crucial character witness. The prosecution agreed, pushing sentencing to July 16th. Now, all eyes are on that witness—could their testimony sway the judge’s final decision?
