Chapter 22: To Complete You
Cindy ended up not seeing Noman and was detained for three full days.
Early in the morning three days later, a car from the court brought Cindy to court.
The Kelly family refused to give up and was determined to get a sentence.
At the plaintiff’s table, the Kelly family didn’t show up, only the gold medal lawyer they hired to go over all of Cindy’s crimes.
“… Your Honor, the defendant has repeatedly insulted the plaintiff with her words and has had intentional harm in mind for a long time, whether it is from the subjective motive of killing or the objective fact of injuring, it is enough to prove that the defendant is guilty.”
Cindy smiled mockingly, this lawyer, really can say white into black.
At this moment, Noman’s voice came from the gallery: “Cindy, don’t be afraid!”
Cindy’s heart was warm and she nodded gratefully.
In the past few days, although she refused to see Noman, Noman still helped her find a lawyer to represent her.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
It was soon her lawyer’s turn to speak.
“Your Honor, we already have the relevant evidence and believe that the surveillance content provided by the plaintiff’s side is obviously edited, and now the police have provided the complete surveillance video.”
Then, that lawyer took out a restored and complete surveillance.
All the people in the gallery were shocked.
Even Cindy was a bit incredulous.
The lawyer had not communicated with her about this surveillance.
Next, the lawyer continued to argue: “It can be seen that my client was solely for the purpose of self-defense, not the motive of intentional murder. Therefore, my client’s subjective intention was not motivated by murder, and this should not be treated as a criminal case.”
Noman didn’t know what was going on, but he had a hunch that Cindy was saved!
But Cindy still had doubts in her mind, and suddenly, a cold gaze was fixed on her spine, and she turned her eyes and met Eric’s gaze.
Eric’s gaze was heavy, with something Cindy couldn’t understand.
Then she remembered that three days ago … she wasn’t hallucinating!
At that time, no matter how she complained, no one looked back at the monitor.
It was only after hearing Noman’s “Eric” that they released her from the interrogation room.
If it wasn’t him, who else could it be?
Just why had Eric done that?
Just as she froze, a woman next to her took Eric’s arm, no injuries visible except for a bandage on the corner of her forehead.
Linda hooked up a smug smile, Eric belonged to her after all!
Cindy sneered, so they all came to see the joke.
And she, Cindy, just wanted to draw a line under everything about Eric!
Since she didn’t die last time, this time …
Cindy opened her mouth and said in silence, “Don’t you just want to watch me go to hell? I’ll make it happen for you.”
Turning her gaze, Cindy fearlessly puffed up her chest, without a hint of cowardice even when standing on the dock.
Eric’s heart shook and he straightened up.
What did she mean by that?
At that moment, the judge finished watching the surveillance and frowned.
“Defendant, you have the right to make a statement in your defense.”
The lawyer also looked at Cindy encouragingly, “Miss Scott, you can now give a good account of what happened at that time.”
Cindy’s eyes flickered for a moment, “Mr. Jonny, I appreciate your help.”
Mr. Jonny glanced at Cindy with some surprise.
Cindy closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again with fearlessness in her eyes.
“Your Honor, I plead guilty. At the time I was not basing it on self-defense, but on trying to kill Linda.”
