Chapter 702: Chapter 702 Objection Invalid_1
Menstruation is equivalent to their monthly day of rest, how could they take clients?
Purple Summers’s words, like a stone cast into a lake, provoked huge waves.
Everyone showed a look of astonishment: the witness was lying!
This lie was clearly to cover for Leon Brown! Now Purple Summers had pierced through the lie, and Leon Brown’s face flushed with shame and anger, he clenched his teeth and glared fiercely at Katarina Clark on the witness stand!
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make! This fool, thinking herself clever, had said so much, yet Purple Summers had seized the handle!
Sister Katherine’s smile stiffened on her lips, with cold sweat streaming down her forehead, her complexion extremely unsightly.
“This menstrual period… menstrual period…” Sister Katherine muttered, racking her brains for an excuse, “Could be because…”
“You mean to say this menstrual cycle is not accurate?” Purple Summers’s lips curved slightly, her gaze mocking as she looked at her, “So, has Charlotte Bishop’s period come early, or was it delayed?”
Sister Katherine, drenched in cold sweat, stammered, “It was… was…”
“You can’t answer, can you?” Purple Summers’s eyes shimmered, slightly narrowed, as though a cold sharp light flashed, “Because Charlotte Bishop’s bank statement for the entire July shows that only that one week had no income. The claim you made about unpaid service fees, it simply doesn’t exist! That’s why you can’t answer!
On the thirtieth of July, Charlotte Bishop was servicing another client! She did not provide any services with Lindsay Carpenter, and those 900 dollars were the fee paid by the other client!”
“Objection!” Mr. Johnson hastily stood up, “I object to the opposing lawyer’s interference with the witness’s objective and truthful statement!”
The female judge swept a cold glance and stated, “Objection overruled.”
Purple Summers spoke, “Your Honor, considering the privacy and sensitivity of the evidence to be presented by our side next, we request that the courtroom’s doors and windows be closed off and unrelated persons be isolated.”
The judge subconsciously glanced at Marcel Jefferson, only to see him staring eagerly at Purple Summers, completely deferential to her lead.
…Who’s representing whom here?
With suspicion in her heart, the female judge still granted Purple Summers’s request and had the bailiff close the doors and windows tightly.
Marcel Jefferson and another paralegal distributed the prepared injury reports to the jury members and the judge.
What came into view were shocking pictures of injuries. The wounds on the woman’s body were exposed, with both fresh blood oozing and dark sooty burns, badly swollen and festering, tormented to the point of having not a single patch of unmarred skin!
Looking at them was painful at a mere glance!
Quite a few members of the jury showed discomfort on their faces.
Purple Summers’s voice was cold and measured as she spoke, “The intimate areas show lacerations from razors, cigarette burns, and additionally, there are multiple contusions and cigarette burns on her chest, buttocks, and thighs!”
She lifted the photographs high so that Katarina Clark on the witness stand could see them more clearly.
“Leon Brown abused, humiliated her, bound her and inflicted cuts and burns with cigarettes. How could any normal person willingly accept such torture?!
You say the scale is large, the payment high, yet after receiving 900 dollars, she had to rest for at least two or three months! During this period she could not work, had no income whatsoever! If Lindsay Carpenter had not been deceived by you, who would be willing to engage in such a losing proposition?!”
Purple Summers showed the medical expense breakdown to everyone, raising her voice, “The 900 dollars she was paid, all went to medical expenses! Suffering from sickness and pain, and enduring two months without income, if she hadn’t been coerced, how could my client have endured this?!”
Mr. Johnson couldn’t stand it any longer and loudly retorted, “Since she was willing to provide high-level service, she consented to the associated risks! Taking money and then backing out, where does such reasoning exist in this world?!”
Purple Summers countered, “When a man and a woman enter into marriage, they also tacitly consent to fulfill marital duties! But if the wife disagrees and the husband forcibly violates her, it is still considered, rape!”
