Romans & histoires Innocent Witness

“S-sir, please… please let me go. I didn’t mean to intrude. I was just running from the bullets outside. I swear, I don’t care what’s happening here. I won’t tell anyone!” He tilted his head, smirking. “You won’t tell anyone? Mhmm. Are you sure about that?” “Yes—yes sir, I swear!” His voice dropped lower. “You saw the news, didn’t you? The little warning on the LED TV?” Her eyes flickered. “…Yes, sir.” “Then why didn’t you turn back?” Her mouth opened, but no words came out. “And you saw they’ve never shown my face on the news.” He tapped his temple, eyes glinting. “But now you’re staring right at me. You know exactly what I look like. You think I’ll let you walk away?”

"Were you present in my client's room at any point that night?" "No." "So you did not witness anything that occurred in that room." "No." "Then what you are offering this court," Thomas said carefully, "is an account of what you saw in a lobby, but it is not evidence of what the prosecution is alleging took place upstairs." He let the point settle before he moved to his final question. “Guesses are not enough reason for an innocent man to be prosecuted. If you did not see it, you should not testify!” “Objection, counsel is…”

“Interesting.” The lead guard’s expression hardened. “A witness saw you near the scene.” “And?” I shot back immediately. “Does being near a place automatically make someone guilty now? And besides, one person is apparently a witness, shouldn't that person also be arrested as well? After all, the person was also near where the council member had been killed. Why not arrest them as well?”

Of course, it didn’t escape my observant eyes that both Toto and Jan rushed to Cara. From the moment I heard that guy’s name, I knew the culprit was him. The only thing I didn’t have at that moment was the evidence to prove it. And so, I deliberately did not remind them of the lookout plan to set the culprit up. If there is a witness and we can all prove that the witness is telling the truth, then, there’s no doubt that the police would take her statement as solid. Sorry not sorry, but Cara was the perfect girl for the job.

He answered and I could see his eyes wavering and seemed a coward for a cop like him. “Witness program?” I exclaimed. “That is given for persons who became a victim, and the culprit is still out there wandering.” Austin answered. “Then, are you saying that I am now the victim and Austin is the assailant?” I exclaimed to all of them and when I asked then they all remained silent, I am right, I am perfectly right and no one could ever change that fact until we went deep to solve this case. “But Austin did not do it.” I mumbled and I noticed that even Aaron looked at me through the rear mirror.

I had shut down all my feelings since I entered here, and I channeled everything with the thoughts and wonders about her. "We do have a witness." Ms. Johnson smiled confidently. "Our witness is Carol Qin, who happened to be Anthony's house keeper. She had known and protected the defendant since he was an infant, as much as circumstances would allow her." I then really looked at Anthony for the first time since we were gathered here. The smug and confident smile he had on his face disappeared, and he looked at the woman now approaching in disbelief. He must had trusted her. Carol takes the stand, her eyes fixed on Anthony, with a mix of fear and determination.

While Steven was hesitating, Sean took the opportunity to chime in, "Judge Lynch, according to the defense attorney's claim earlier, it was impossible for Sophia to murder the victim. The reason was that she was an educated and highly moral woman. She is also the wife of a plutocrat. "However, the witness I've summoned can testify that the defense attorney's claims were deceiving. He only said that so that the defendant could be acquitted. "This means that this witness' statement isn't completely irrelevant to the case. Her statement can become a reference point in this case!" Finally, Steven gave in. He nodded slightly and said, "Then, counsel, you may both proceed with questioning the witn

One of them spoke politely, " Mr.Thathcer, do you have any witness to prove your innocence?" I nodded, forming my palms together ahead as a sign of respect, " I have!" Some could think that we were standing in court. But about players and their cheating rules, the head of the jury had always been the decision maker. I turned, peeked through the doorway to gesture at Catherine to come over. Although, she seemed reluctant last time, today she was appearing genuine to give the trail. I couldn't understand what changed her mind but anyways, I was grateful.

Adam instructed them on the order to pick up the piles. “Beta Adam, are there any witnesses you would like to call forward?” Adam nodded, “I have but one, Gordon.” Gordon nodded his head, “Alright, bring him forward. Beta Cass?” the beta shook his head, “No, Gordon. We have none.” Gordon nodded his head. Beta Cass had no witnesses proving the Queen’s innocence. How were they going to prove that the Queen was innocent?

"Very well. Let the witness testify." David took the stand, his voice trembling slightly as he recounted the events of that fateful night. "I was walking home from work when I saw a man fleeing the scene. He was tall and had a scar on his left cheek. He didn't see me, but I saw him. It wasn't Matt." A hushed silence fell over the courtroom as the jurors and spectators absorbed David’s words. The real culprit had been described, and it was clear that Matt was innocent. Mr. Johnson stood up, his face a mix of astonishment and frustration. He tried to regain his composure, but his voice betrayed his inner turmoil.
