Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Escape from the Dead _1 Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Escape from the Dead _1 In the break room, Henry Jason was absolutely furious.
“What the hell is going on? I killed Sean Patterson?” he said incredulously, looking toward Noelle Nichols, “Hannah, you think it was , too?”
“I didn’t! I had no idea it would turn out like this!” Noelle Nichols’s face was pale, still in shock.
She turned her head to look at Austin Ross, asking, “Mr. Ross! What on earth is going on?”
“I’m very sorry, Ms. Nichols, but this was the only thing I could do,” Austin Ross spoke, “I am your attorney, not Mr. Jason’s, and I must do everything within my power to protect your interests. The situation is highly unfavorable for us right now, and it’s better to sacrifice one than to have both convicted.”
In the end, he glanced at Henry Jason and said quietly, “If Mr. Jason truly loves you that much, I think he would be willing to make a sacrifice for you…”
“What did you say?!” Henry Jason was shocked.
“Stay calm,” Purple Sumrs said weakly from the side.
“Calm? He just accused of murder in front of the jury! How can I stay calm?!” Henry Jason could hardly believe what was happening to him, “Now everyone will think I’m blinded by jealousy! That I’m a murderer! What are they going to sentence to? Ten years? Twenty years? Life imprisonnt or the death penalty?!”
Noelle Nichols started to cry, “I really didn’t know it would turn out like this!”
The break room was filled with Henry Jason’s roars and Noelle Nichols’s tears, and Purple Sumrs felt annoyed and bothered by the noise.
“Mr. Ross, that move of yours was terribly inept,” Purple Sumrs said coldly, glancing at Austin Ross.
“Ms. Simonson, as long as this thod works, it doesn’t matter how inept it is,” Austin Ross replied gravely, “The prosecution’s theory is conspiracy to murder, rember, conspiracy! As long as we attack each other, leaving the jury with the impression that there can only be one perpetrator, they will hesitate. They can’t decide who did it! They can’t be sure who the murderer is! Once reasonable doubt is introduced, we might just get a not guilty verdict. This could be our saving grace!”
“What a saving grace,” Purple Sumrs said expressionlessly, “To be precise, it should be your client finding salvation at the expense of mine facing life in prison.”
Austin Ross explained, “Ms. Simonson, I understand your anger, but I am rely fulfilling my duty as an attorney. You can also cross-examine my client. Just smudge the focus of the jury, and we can fight for a chance.”
“I am not angry,” Purple Sumrs said as she forced a smile, looking as though she might laugh, “If you had inford ahead of ti, I might have been willing to put on a show with you, but you ambushed us at the last minute, I just find you despicable. Mr. Ross, it’s been a pleasure working with you, and I hope we never have to work together again.”
Purple Sumrs stood up and walked out.
Henry Jason looked at Austin Ross then at Noelle Nichols, feeling both irritated and angry, and followed Purple Sumrs out of the break room.
“What do we do now?” Henry Jason caught up with Purple Sumrs and asked.
Purple Sumrs stopped, glanced at him and said, “You never told , Noelle Nichols lived with Sean Patterson.”
“I thought it was irrelevant to the case!” Henry Jason’s eyes widened, “It wasn’t intentional concealnt!”
“What about the video?” Purple Sumrs asked him, “You’re telling you had no idea you were being fild?”
Henry Jason raised his hands and said again, “I really didn’t know! I only found out about the video today, I swear!”
After thinking for a mont, Purple Sumrs said, “You don’t need to take the stand later, I will cross-examine Noelle Nichols.”
Henry Jason’s face changed slightly, and he asked nervously, “You’re not planning to accuse Hannah of murder, are you? Just like he accused …”
Purple Sumrs rolled her eyes, exasperated, “Do you think the prosecutor is an idiot?”
