CHAPTER 23
Freya's sentencing day has come. The sentence is read out by the judge: 10 years in jail. Freya's whole world crumbles around her. She is numb, unable to grasp the reality of what is going on.
As she is led away in handcuffs, tears fall down her cheeks, and her family and friends look on in terror. Freya can't help but wonder how her life has come to this as she is brought out of the courtroom.
Freya's life came crashing down after her sentence. She struggled to accept the reality that she would be imprisoned for many years. Freya began to lose confidence in God, wondering how justice could be delivered when she knew she was innocent.
She had always felt that the truth would triumph in the end, but now she was starting to fear that the truth was insufficient. The system had failed her, and there seemed to be nothing she could do about it. Her lack of confidence in God and the legal system made her feel much more alone and vulnerable than she had been.
Freya's defence counsel pleads with the court for mercy in her punishment. He emphasises her absence of a past criminal record as well as her general excellent character.
He emphasises the fact that Freya has already suffered immensely as a result of the event, as well as the effect that a lengthy sentence would have on her mental health. He requests that the court examine alternatives to jail, such as community service or probation.
The prosecution claims Freya's participation in the drug network was a significant offence that warranted a hefty penalty.
He cites the damage created by illicit drug trafficking and contends that Freya's acts must be punished. He also mentions Freya's refusal to accept full responsibility for her conduct and her continued denial of her role in the drug network.
The judge considers both views and carefully examines the evidence given in the case. Finally, the court sentences Freya to many years in jail. Freya and her friends are devastated by the choice.
Despite the defence attorney's best efforts, the court believes that the seriousness of the crime, as well as the necessity to send a message to those who may contemplate becoming engaged in drug trafficking, merits incarceration.
Freya's history and circumstances are taken into account by the court throughout the sentence process. Freya's defence counsel claims that she has no past criminal record and that she was tricked into participating in the drug ring by Alex. He also draws attention to her turbulent history and challenging childhood.
The prosecution claims Freya was fully aware of her acts and the potential repercussions, and that she was an active participant in the drug ring.
While listening to both sides, the court considers Freya's situation and the extent of her participation in the drug network. Finally, he condemns her to a number of years in jail, adding that, although he realises the struggles she has endured in her life, she must accept responsibility for her conduct.
Freya is distraught by the
