Chapter 915: Chapter 915 I Love Her Very Much_1 Chapter 915: Chapter 915 I Love Her Very Much_1 Defense needs a reason, a reason that convinces the jury.
The fact that Sean Patterson died in his own ho is undeniable, either by suicide or murder. To exonerate Henry Jason and Noelle Nichols from suspicion, Purple Sumrs and Austin Ross must list more possibilities.
Originally, when Sean Patterson blackmailed Noelle Nichols, Purple Sumrs could have speculated that Sean Patterson wanted to punish Noelle Nichols through his death. Although a stretch, it wouldn’t have been a bad strategy, but those videos proved that Sean Patterson’s threat was to expose them.
The suicide angle was blocked.
“The prosecutor will surely try to prove that Sean Patterson’s death wasn’t suicide. In the next few days, we might see new evidence, new witnesses; we need to be ntally prepared,” Purple Sumrs said.
Austin Ross nodded, his brows furrowed as if deep in thought.
On the way back, Purple Sumrs asked Henry Jason if he knew about the video.
Henry Jason’s face was grave as he shook his head.
“Then do you know about her past boyfriend?” Purple Sumrs asked.
Henry Jason still shook his head, his voice hoarse, “I knew she had a boyfriend, but I didn’t know who he was, nor that… they had fild a sex video.”
Purple Sumrs paused for a mont before asking him, “Do you still believe that Noelle Nichols couldn’t possibly be a murderer?”
Henry Jason closed his eyes, his expression pained, and slowly said, “She has kept things from , probably because she was worried about our relationship, but she really couldn’t have murdered anyone, she had no reason to do that, she wouldn’t!”
“I’m not asking this because I doubt her…” Purple Sumrs thought for a mont, then decided to tell Henry Jason, “I hope you are prepared. This is a murder case, the pressure of the court hearing isn’t sothing ordinary people can withstand. With the intense questioning and dia scrutiny to co, if she can’t handle it, she might just push the bla onto you to escape conviction.”
“She wouldn’t!” Henry Jason looked up at Purple Sumrs, “If it weren’t for this incident, we would be married by now! She wouldn’t do that to !”
Purple Sumrs gave a faint smile, “I hope she wouldn’t.”
In the following days, the police found Noelle Nichols’s and Henry Jason’s fingerprints on glass cups at Sean Patterson’s house, and they also found the ntioned sex video on Sean Patterson’s laptop.
Moreover, the prosecution brought in another mber of the group Angelina as a witness.
Before the court hearing started, Purple Sumrs ran into Allen Rivera at the courthouse, and Allen Rivera greeted her, “What’s your defense strategy?”
“Suicide,” Purple Sumrs replied.
“Then you’d better be careful,” Allen Rivera said.
Purple Sumrs couldn’t help but smile wryly, “With this case and you involved, I definitely will be.”
…
The trial began, and as the prosecutor, Allen Rivera called the first defendant, Henry Jason, to the stand.
“Mr. Henry Jason, how long have you been in a relationship with Ms. Noelle Nichols?” Allen Rivera asked.
“About three and a half years.”
“To my knowledge, you t at school where you were her foreign language teacher, and you resigned from your teaching position to be with her, is that correct?”
Henry Jason nodded, “Yes.”
“Your parents have always disapproved of your relationship, correct?” Allen Rivera continued.
“Yes, they believed an artist’s life was too complex, not suitable for my family’s background… but I convinced them,” Henry Jason answered, “My parents are very open-minded, they might have disapproved at first but they eventually agreed to bless us.”
Allen Rivera, with a serious expression, nodded, “Being together, you’ve really overco a lot of difficulties. It must have been hard; I assu you must love Ms. Noelle Nichols a lot.”
Henry Jason looked at Noelle Nichols in the defendant’s box, “Yes, I love her very much.”
Allen Rivera continued, “A woman you deeply love is threatened by another man, so you killed him?”
Henry Jason’s face showed a hint of shock.
On the other side, Purple Sumrs stood up, “Objection!”
