Chapter 601
After the judge read out Louise’s crime, Louise began to clamor, “Alfredo ordered me to do it. I’m not the mastermind. I’m also a victim.”
The two of them began to slander each other.
The judge banged his gavel hard. “Silence!”
Louise shut her mouth indignantly.
“Rosella, when you colluded with Alfredo to kill Ava, there was no hesitation at all. The court believes that you were very subjective in the murder of Ava. The motive for the crime was clear. There was no possibility of you being instigated by others. Do you plead guilty?” the judge asked.
The statement left Louise unable to defend herself. Her attorney could only try his best to fight for a lighter sentence for her and persuade her to confess.
After the recess, Louise changed her attitude and cried, “Your Honor, I was wrong. Please give me another chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Just as the judge was about to pass judgment, the aggrieved party’s lawyer suddenly raised his hand. “Your Honor, the aggrieved party requests to present new evidence.”
Even Marshall was surprised. He didn’t know what other evidence the lawyer he hired had.
The judge motioned for the bailiff to present the evidence and played an audio clip on the spot.
“Grace has a child. Now that she’s in jail, she can’t even take care of herself. And her brother’s leukemia has relapsed. Now is the best time to kill that little bastard,” a voice said from the audio clip. “What are you going to do?” another voice asked.
“She’s just a little bastard. Throw her into the sea. She’s tiny. A shark will eat her in one bite and leave no trace,” the first voice said and laughed.
Nova listened to the conversation and clenched her fists tightly.
Although she had already finished this audio a few days ago, she was still in agony when this recording was played in public.
Nova clenched her fists so hard that her long nails dug into her flesh and her palms bled.
Brian widened his eyes in shock and subconsciously turned to look at Nova, who compressed her lips into a thin line. Although she did not say a word, he could see the pain in her eyes. en FindNovel
It was an expression that would only appear when one lost one’s closest kin.
At this moment, Brian was even more certain of something.
After the audio ended, Louise and Alfredo were stunned on the spot.
Alfredo had forgotten about this matter. It was just a three-month-old baby. That was just one of the many bad things he had done.
Out of caution, Alfredo had recorded everything when he and Louise had committed the crime or discussed something.
A copy of the evidence was kept with his confidant.
Because Alfredo was captured, his confidant had escaped Capern City. However, his confidant was found later.
Then a surveillance video was
played. It captured Louise sneakily carrying Austin to the seaside, After more than ten minutes, Louise returned without her.
Louise had thought she could shave a few years off for her prison sentence.
Unexpectedly, she was now suspected of killing Austin.
After watching the video, the judge asked, “Where’s the witness?”
“Your Honor, the witness is with me.” Nova stood up in the gallery.
Louise turned around and looked at her. She roared crazily, “It’s you again. You’re haunting me like a ghost.”
Nova took a deep breath and said,
“Your Honor, I was the one who found this audio and surveillance footage. As for the source of the audio, I ask for the witness to attend.”
Not long after, Alfredo saw his confidant, Matt Beard, arrive.
