'Young and the Restless' (Y&R) Spoilers: Victor's Verdict Is Handed Down [VIDEO]
The time has come to officially determine Victor's (Eric Braden) fate and the verdict handed down by the jury could change things forever for both the Newmans and the Abbotts on The Young and the Restless.
His trial for unleashing Marco on Jack (Peter Bregman) and Phyllis (Gina Tognoni), where he orchestrated Jack's kidnapping and being held hostage, and allowed the convicted criminal who looked exactly like Jack assume his life, which included letting him rape Phyllis multiple times, had concluded and the jury was left to decide what would happen to him. Though they did have convincing testimony when everyone took the stand for the prosecution, the reveal that Victor's own defense attorney, Michael (Christian LeBlanc) had been trying to throw the case due to an arrangement with Phyllis brought a change after he was dismissed and Victor acted as his own counsel. He then managed to paint a very different picture of himself, which made everyone—especially the members of his family who had turned against him—nervous that he would evade justice and then come after them all.
Now, the jury has reached their verdict and everyone is back in the courtroom to find out what will happen to Victor.
"Victor Newman, on the counts of kidnapping and fraud the jury finds you..." The judge says in a preview clip for the Wednesday, March 30 episode.
If Victor is found guilty and sentenced to a lengthy sentence in prison, it will mean some big changes and differences as far as the two warring families are concerned. Not only will Victor being behind bars mean that Victoria (Amelia Heinle) will remain as the CEO of Newman Enterprises, but it will also mean that her vision for the future will also be enacted.
While waiting on the jury's verdict, Victoria decided she wanted to end the decades long feud between the families—and would do whatever it took to ensure they worked together once and for all. Not only would that change the way things in Genoa City are run for good, but it could mean that the reign of terror would also be officially ended.
The Young and the Restless airs Monday-Friday at 12:30 p.m. on CBS.
