On the stand, Derek Voss described the tickets in flat, careful sentences. He never once looked at Paige while he spoke. The prosecutor asked him why he never questioned the requests. "She was my supervisor," he said. "I didn't think I was allowed to ask." A juror in the front row wrote something down at that answer.
Silas testified next, walking the jury through the login logs on a large screen. He pointed to the timestamp on the reactivated bookkeeping account. Then to the timestamp on the redirected hospital calls, side by side. "Same administrative session," he said. "Both actions, four minutes apart." The courtroom stayed silent for a long moment after that.
Paige was convicted on multiple counts. Wire fraud. Identity misuse. Unauthorized access to protected health information. She received six years. Restitution was ordered for the embezzlement scheme she'd fabricated. Derek Voss received probation. In exchange for his full cooperation and testimony.
