Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559 Fight Back

The judge and jurors left the court.

Things got less tense. The audience was chatting and discussing, wondering how long Oscar would be sentenced to jail based on the crimes he'd committed. Some of them thought he'd be put in the electric chair. After all, he had killed a woman. According to the law of Northfield, the official of the City Hall would take harsher punishment.

It was noisy. Hannah just kept looking at Oscar, who was lean. The prison uniform couldn't take his charisma away. He looked as dashing as before.

Oscar noticed Hannah's eyes and he smiled at her. He just took it lightly.

Hannah felt like crying again. She had no idea if Oscar knew he'd be acquitted of innocence or not. Oscar would smile at her any time, looking like he wouldn't be upset when he saw her around.

Hannah got emotional, and even Susan could feel it. She took Hannah's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry. All will be fine."

Susan wasn't stupid. She knew Oscar would probably be harshly punished by law this time, considering his horrible "crimes". But she couldn't understand why the court had asserted he was guilty since he didn't have the motive. But she knew little about the law, so she couldn't figure it out. She could do nothing else but stay with Hannah anxiously.

Half an hour later, the judge and jurors came back to the court.

Everyone sat properly. The court was quiet again.

The judge struck his gavel and was bout to pass the sentence.

"Your Honor, I can prove my client is innocent," Josh said.

Before that, he had been stalling for the time until he got a hint from Hannah. Finally, it was his show time.

The judge was a little surprised.

"Objection! Counsel for the defence, you couldn't provide any evidence just now. How can you do it now? You're just wasting our time." The prosecutor said.

"Objection sustained!"

"Hold on." Melvin suddenly stood up.

On behalf of the Investigation Department, he had the right to speak. And the judge couldn't afford to offend him.

"What else would you like to add?" the judge said immediately.

"The defence attorney assured that he has evidence to prove his client is innocent, and he has the right to speak before the trial."

The judge looked a little bewildered. All he needed to do was pass a sentence to bring an end to the case. Everything would be settled once Oscar was sentenced to death.

Melvin said without permission from the judge, "Mr Aaron, we'll give you the last chance to defend your client. All your statements afterwards will have no legal effect if you can't provide the evidence. More importantly, we'll sentence the defendant to the highest standard for his bad attitude." He said it so possessively that he had stunned the crowd.

Josh hesitated for a few seconds.

Some audience mocked Oscar, while Charles put on an evil smile. He had thought Melvin Balderston would affect the decided result of the trial. To his surprise, Melvin did him a favour to have made it more reasonable that Oscar would be more harshly punished.

As expected, the Balderston family didn't have the balls to act against the Collins family. Probably, the latter would become the most powerful and influential family in the country. And, Charles believed his life would be at its peak if he won the trust and support of the Collins family.
