Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1492

Sophia believed that she would survive her 30-year sentence. But did she really have to serve a full 30 years in prison?

She might be released in about ten years if she kept appealing, pretended to behave well, and did some under-the-table operations.

Sophia felt that she still had a chance. However, the next moment, the small flame of hope that had just ignited in her heart was ruthlessly extinguished.

"Furthermore, in the case of Anne Bartley's fatal fall 20 years ago, the evidence is conclusive, and the defendant, Sophia Kirkman, has pleaded guilty in court.

"However, she had an ample motive and premeditated the crime. Throughout the past 20 years, she has had no inclination to turn herself in. To conceal her crime, she bribed and intimidated witnesses and destroyed evidence. Her crimes are even more heinous than those of Jeffrey Snyder."

As Steven spoke, his voice grew louder. A faint redness appeared in his sharp eyes behind his glasses.

"Hence, the defendant Sophia Kirkman is sentenced to death for solicitation of murder, first-degree murder, destruction of evidence, and witness tampering. Her voting rights are revoked for life, and all personal property is confiscated."

A thunderous boom sounded in Sophia's mind. She felt like a towering mountain had collapsed and crushed her. At once, she collapsed to the ground.

Sentenced to death… She had received the death sentence.

In front of her were only despair and a frightening, pitch-black darkness. She even extended her hands and scratched herself a few times, as if she had truly lost her sight.

Steven pronounced the verdict with clarity, leaving everyone stunned.

Colene was so thrilled in the public gallery that she nearly couldn't resist shouting. Meanwhile, Lyla and Tatiana embraced each other, shedding tears of joy. Even Mandy, who had always been composed, discreetly wiped away tears at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Cyrus tightly clenched his trembling hands on his knees while Jonah heaved a sigh of relief, sporting a satisfied smile.

At that moment, Jonah's phone vibrated in his pocket.

Jonah took it out and glanced at it. When he saw that it was a message from Julien, his heart skipped a beat. He lightly tapped the WhatsApp conversation box.
