“Objection!” Marcel Jefferson stood up again.
Jade Carlson was giving an impassioned speech and was very annoyed to be interrupted. Her face turned red. “The defense lawyer’s unreasonable objection is disrupting the trial process!”
Marcel Jefferson glanced at the lengthy text on his laptop screen, feeling overwhelmed – there was too much information, and it was a test of memory!
“Opposing the prosecutor’s blatant discrimination.” Marcel Jefferson had difficulty organizing his words for a moment, and not caring about the details, he simply picked up his laptop and started reading aloud –
“The prosecution’s conclusion that people with depression have potential social dangers is very inappropriate and constitutes open discrimination against people with depression! Almost a hundred million people in our country suffer from depression, particularly in schools where there are many patients with depression and autism. They suffer greatly and are often misunderstood. Both medical institutions and non-governmental voluntary organizations have been working tirelessly to help them better integrate into society!”
Marcel Jefferson suddenly looked up and stared at Jade Carlson, saying forcefully, “If the words of the prosecutor just now are spread through the media, will it lead to a misunderstanding of people with depression in society? Maybe even discrimination? We must pay attention to this!”
Jade Carlson’s face turned from angry red to pale, unexpectedly caught by such an argument!
At this moment, Marcel Jefferson became a warrior of justice, his momentum magnificent, and his face full of righteousness: “Your Honor, the confession evidence presented by the prosecution has no direct connection with this case. Is there any suspicion of delaying the trial process?”
He actually managed to turn the tables!
Jade Carlson clenched her teeth in fury! She glared fiercely at Purple Summers, who had taken back her laptop, her face turning from pale to livid…
It’s Purple Summers again!
It must be her doing!
At this point, the judge said, “This case is a public hearing, with the potential for spreading and influencing. The prosecutor should be careful with her words during the indictment.”
In the audience, people were whispering and buzzing with discussion.
“What is this prosecutor doing? She hasn’t gotten to the point yet…”
“Yeah, she called two witnesses, but she hasn’t gotten any useful information. She’s just being objected to.”
“Can she really handle this? We can’t let this solid case be overturned…”
The voices of the discussion were not loud, but they reached Jade Carlson’s ears clearly. Her face turned red and green in embarrassment!
She wanted to say something, but her lips seemed frozen, trembling slightly.
The judge struck the gavel, “Quiet.”
The murmurs disappeared, but Jade Carlson’s embarrassment remained. Even without those voices, the questioning looks followed her like a shadow!
It was not until the judge asked her if she had prepared other witnesses and evidence that Jade Carlson came back to her senses.
“Yes, I ask the judge to allow the third witness to appear in court. This person will prove directly that the defendant, Caspian Maple, is lying!”
When she said this, she should have been full of confidence, but due to the setbacks she had encountered earlier, there was no excitement, only dead silence in the courtroom.
Jade Carlson felt a heavy weight on her chest, as if she couldn’t breathe.
She clenched her fists tightly, telling herself to stay calm. She had plenty of evidence and witnesses, and she would not lose this case!
The third witness entered the courtroom and took a seat in the witness stand.
When Jade Carlson stood up to question, her eyes swept towards Purple Summers, who was sitting at the defense table, full of resentment.
Purple Summers sat quietly, like a silent magnolia alba, calm and tranquil. When her eyes met Jade Carlson’s gaze, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking smile.
Jade Carlson was as if struck by lightning, her face suddenly turning pale as paper!
– That was the smile of victory! Suzanne Saunders has always shown that kind of smile every time she appeared in court!
