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.
"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!"
