Chapter 8 - MARGARET WAS CHARGED
Margaret was eventually charged based on the totality of evidence relating to the financial scheme and her alleged role surrounding the attack.
The precise counts differed from Brandon’s.
As they should.
She had not physically pushed me.
Prosecutors alleged she assisted aspects of the financial misconduct and participated in conduct surrounding the violent confrontation.
Her attorney argued “finish this” meant finish the argument.
Possible.
Then another recording surfaced.
Not from me.
From Margaret.
She routinely used voice memos.
A forensic extraction of her phone recovered a deleted memo created after she left the villa.
She had apparently recorded herself dictating notes intended for Brandon’s attorney.
She said:
We need to maintain that Emma slipped. Brandon cannot admit he touched her.
That was devastating.
Not proof she planned the push beforehand.
Proof she knowingly helped construct a false account afterward.
Her defense changed.

She stopped claiming ignorance.
Negotiations began.
