Chapter 86
In the Supreme People's Court of W City, the first trial of the murder case of Marshal was in progress.
The solemn court hall quieted down as the judge and jurors sat down.
The judge stated the case first. "The murder, happening on November 26, was brought to trial for the
first time. This court upholds the principle of fairness, equality, openness, credibility, justice, integrity,
efficiency, and authority. We will give a fair judgment for both the victim and the suspect.
The case was received on December 11. The suspect, Marshal, was also involved in a hit-and-run and
rape case, and these two cases will be brought to trial together on December 14, which is today. "
"She is slandering Marshal. She wants to get Marshal killed." Estella trembled.
She grabbed Richard tightly. "Look at your good daughter. She's going to kill your son."
Richard was also angry. If he had a knife in his hand now, he would have killed Arya.
Since she came back, she robbed the company and ruined Harriet's marriage. Now she was going to
get Marshal killed.
Richard regretted it. 'Why didn't I strangle her when she was born? Then she wouldn't have the chance
to stir up trouble.'
"Silence!"
The chief judge pounded the gavel, which was the representative of the justice and civilized trial, and
improved the seriousness and solemnity of the law.
Caspar sat beside Arya as the plaintiff's lawyer.
Caspar had no position in this matter, so Arya was the one who sued Marshal.
"You don't have to be too nervous. I'll take care of it."
He had said this to all his clients. It was a big deal to get too nervous before the trial.
If she was too nervous, she would make mistakes in her words, which would be bad for the case.
"I'm not nervous. Don't worry." Arya said calmly.
She had experienced the despair of being wronged and defended herself loudly, helplessly. But no one
believed her. It was useless to be nervous, and she knew it very well.
So she was very calm.
Caspar glanced at Arya. Seeing how calm she was, he praised her in his heart.
And he became more confident in this case. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Plaintiff, read your affidavit."
Caspar stood up, bowed to the judge, and then read out the prepared affidavit. "In early 2014, there
was a car accident on Jindu Road. The perpetrator was driving in the opposite direction, hit somebody,
and ran away. Later, the perpetrator was sentenced to six years in prison in the case of conclusive
evidence. Because of her good behavior in prison, her sentence was reduced and she served four
years.
Today I am challenging this case! "
Caspar's voice was sonorous and powerful that everyone present could hear him clearly.
Caspar presented the evidence. "The victim..." Caspar adjusted his mood slightly and continued, "The
victim at the time, Helen, was on a video call with a classmate at the time of the accident, leaving
behind a video."
At this time, the legal staff played the video.
"Although this video is very blurry, we can be sure that the driver was not a woman at that time."
As he spoke, he paused the video and zoomed in on the face of the driver with the remote control.
"Although it's not very clear, it's visible. The person in the driver's seat had short hair and was a man."
"I object." Bert stood up. "This doesn't mean that the perpetrator was innocent!"
Soon, Bert provided the evidence. "This is the car that caused the accident at that time. The driving
license belonged to the perpetrator, proving that this car is the perpetrator's."
"Can it prove that she was the one who drove the car just because the car belonged to her?" Caspar
retorted sharply.
"There was a witness." Bert did not give in at all. He played the video in which the butler of the Harrison
Family was making a testimony at the time. This could prove that Arya was outside rather than at
home.
"Does the plaintiff have any new evidence?"
"I have new evidence." Caspar looked straight at Bert.
Soon, Helen's classmate was brought to the witness stand.
"The witness will answer truthfully. If there is falsification and he deliberately distorts the facts, he or
she will bear legal responsibility. If it is too serious and it constitutes a crime, he or she will be
prosecuted for criminal liabilities."
This place was so solemn that Helen's classmate was a little nervous.
Caspar gave Helen a reassuring look and asked her to answer honestly.
Caspar had told her that, so she calmed down.
"What I said was what I heard and saw. On February 6th of 2014, because it was the first week of my
seniors year of high school, I remembered it very clearly. On the way home, I received a video call from
Helen. She said that her phone charger was left in the classroom and asked me to get it for her.
Because I didn't know what her charger was like, I kept the video call on. When I showed it to her to
confirm if the charger was hers, she screamed, and then I heard the tires rubbing against the ground,
and then there was no sound of Helen.
At that time, the video call was still on. I heard a male voice cursing. He said, 'D*mn it, are you f*cking
blind?!'
Then there was some noise again, and then I couldn't hear anything. "
"If you listen to that voice now, can you recognize it?" Caspar asked.
Helen thought for a moment and nodded.
Because that voice was so arrogant, she remembered it very clearly.
"Your honor, please bring the suspect Marshal here." Caspar made a request.
"I object." Bert retorted. "If what she said is true, then why didn't she testify back then but come here at
this time?"
"The witness has the right to choose when to testify."
"I'll allow it. Bring up the suspect."
Soon, Marshal was brought out by the police. He was a lot haggard, unshaven, and he looked listless.
Seeing Richard sitting under the stage, he screamed like mad as if he saw his savior. "Dad, help me. I
don't want to go to jail. Harriet, go and beg Xavier to get me out quickly. If I stay in there, I will die!"
"Silence!"
But Marshal didn't seem to hear it. He was going crazy after being locked up these days. "Harriet, go
ask Xavier for help. I'm his future brother-in-law. How can he watch me go to jail?"
"Silence!" The judge said seriously. "If you continue to say something irrelevant with this case, you will
be punished for disturbing the order of the court."
Bert frowned and said in a deep voice, "Shut up if you don't want to go to jail!"
He had heard about Marshal. He heard that he was a good-for-nothing from a wealthy family. But he
didn't expect he would be so stupid.
If Xavier was willing to save him, this trial wouldn't have happened in the first place.
Bert really wanted to yell at him.
At the same time, he was also worried Since his client was so stupid.
Marshal was the bloody fool obviously.
