Chapter 354
"She asked me to duplicate Cordy Sachs' signature on a huge pile of documents."
"When was that?"
"Around a month ago."
"Do you have evidence that it happened?"
"Yes. I have records of our conversation." Timothy pulled out his phone.
Quinn took it and projected it in the court, displaying to everyone the conversation between Timothy and Helen.
It was written clearly that Helen had made Timothy help her sign on documents, and there were even pictures of the signed documents and records of the funds transfer.
It was clearly a significant piece of evidence.
Commotion arose in court, and Noel's face was ashen with horror.
She did not expect Helen to be so foolish as to leave behind so much evidence for others to pick up on!
She even left behind conversation history, fund transfer screenshots, and pictures of signed documents!
Noel had reminded Helen umpteen times to be careful in all things and not to leave any trace behind. Did all her words fall on deaf ears?!
Jessica's entire body stiffened up.
Now that things had progressed to this point, it was looking less likely for Cordy to be convicted of the crime.
She took a deep breath inwardly, forcing herself to keep calm.
Meanwhile, Quinn said solemnly to Helen, "Evidently, the so-called hard copy tax report was not personally signed by Cordy. You know very well your company's approval process and that my client's secretary only accepts handwritten signatures on hard copy before approving it on the system. You made use of this loophole to frame my client!"
"I, I didn't..." Helen shook with fear.
"If you didn't, how do you explain your chat history with Timothy, and why were you unable to explain the sudden appearance of so much funds in your account?" Quinn pushed aggressively.
Helen was completely speechless.
He had been heavily embarrassed by this twit in court today.
He finally managed to squeeze out a response after a long while. "Your Honor, according to the evidence I have at hand, I am unable to arrive at the circumstances concerning this case and do not want to inflict unnecessary harm on anyone. I suggest for this case to be handed over to the procurator’s office once again for further investigation."
Judge Faden nodded. "We'll make a judgment on this case after the procurator's office conducts a thorough investigation."
"Your Honor, it has been proven that my client is innocent and has been framed by someone else. As a victim, I do not think that my client
deserves to be burdened by this case, that would be unfair to her. I beseech the chief judge to declare a judgment over my client today."
She naturally could not allow Cordy to be affected by this case any more than she already was.
Judge Faden seemed to glance over at the spectator stand before saying," We'll adjourn for half an hour. The bench and I will discuss and make the final verdict on Cordy Sach's charges of bribery and tax evasion."
Half an hour later, Judge Faden returned to his seat and announced," Regarding Cordy Sachs' tax evasion case, the official verdict from the People's Supreme Court is hereby announced. Please rise."
Everyone stood up, the air crackling with excitement despite the fact that the outcome was already known!
