Chapter 18 - RHEA’S APPEAL
Rhea appealed one confinement conviction.
The appellate court found the jury instruction blurred temporary unlawful confinement with a broader kidnapping theory.
One count reduced.
Core child-endangerment conviction remained.
Financial false-report convictions remained.
No-contact order remained.
Headline:

“Courts should fix mistakes for everyone.”
He frowned.
“Annoying.”
“Yes.”
Then:
“Good?”
“Yes.”
