Chapter 18 - HELOISE’S APPEAL
Heloise appealed her fiduciary conviction.
The appellate court found one jury instruction had blurred:
Failure to disclose a potential future employment relationship
with
Intentional material false certification.
One count vacated for retrial.
Prosecutors declined retrial after civil remedies and remaining convictions.
Headline:
HELOISE WINS APPEAL.
Thora was ten.
She saw it.
“Does that mean Aunt Heloise didn’t make me sleep by kitchen?”
“No.”
“Then what did she win?”
“A different legal issue about paperwork.”
“Paperwork is annoying.”
Correct.
“Does she come back?”
“No. The trust’s fiduciary ban is separate.”
“Good.”
She went back to homework.
