"Aye, Brother Shizhou, what should I do? Will I go to jail?" During the half month that Anya was detained, she also had to endure the pain brought by the "crow's mouth", and she lost a lot of weight.
Lu Ye and Huo Shizhou were not much better, both of them looked exhausted.
Even at this time, they still did not forget to comfort Anya.
"Don't worry! We have hired the best defense lawyer for you. Jian Si Ning's living allowance was stopped by Shi Zhou, and she doesn't even have the money to hire a lawyer. Since she wants to make a fuss, let her know why she is bringing humiliation upon herself."
The court officially opened and everyone was in their seats. Anya sat in the defendant's seat, while Jian Si Ning and the authoritative lawyer from Jiangcheng she had hired sat in the plaintiff's seat.
Jian Changfeng and his wife in the witness box, as well as Huo Shizhou and Lu Ye in the audience, did not expect that Jian Si Ning actually hired a lawyer?
Where does she get the money?
Before the trial, Jian Sining had discussed with his lawyer that although there was insufficient evidence to accuse Anya of intentional homicide and it would be impossible to convict her on this basis, she could still be put in jail for traffic accident.
After the trial began, as evidence was presented piece by piece, Anya's criminal facts became clear.
Anya became increasingly uneasy, and the Jian couple were so angry that they wanted to stand up several times.
Huo Shizhou and Lu Ye remained calm. At this time, the defendant's lawyer applied for a witness to appear in court.
"Judge, the plaintiff's statement is not true. We have eyewitnesses who can prove that it was the old lady who suddenly rushed out and caused the car accident on the day of the accident. Our client should not be held fully responsible."
Two witnesses, a man and a woman, were brought up and each one explained to the judge what they saw at the time.
According to them, grandma suddenly rushed out without any warning, and Anya failed to brake in time and hit her, causing her to be crushed.
But no matter how Jian Si Ning thought about it, she felt something was wrong. That day was her and Lu Ye's wedding, and her grandmother was very happy. She rushed to the hotel early to help with the decoration.
If the eyewitness said it was real, why did grandma run away?
Was there something else going on that she didn't know, or were the witnesses lying?
While she was confused, the defendant continued to speak:
"Judge, based on the evidence provided by our witnesses, it can be proved that the old lady's death has no direct relationship with my client because she had a serious underlying disease. The deceased survived for a month after the accident, and there is no evidence to prove that the direct cause of her death was the car accident."
"Yes, my mother has a heart disease and has undergone surgery. She was not in good health before the car accident."
"My mother-in-law is about to be buried, and her eyesight is not good. If she hadn't been caught by her own family, I would have suspected that she was deliberately trying to cheat people out of money."
"You are so shameless that you can say such unscrupulous words to help Anya get away with this. Are you still worthy of being human?"
"Objection, the plaintiff is making personal attacks on our witnesses."
"Comrade Jian, calm down first." The lawyer pulled her sleeve.
Jian Si Ning looked at Lu Ye and the others who couldn't contain their pride. It seemed that they had already started celebrating their victory in advance.
If the judge really believed their testimonies, it would be absolutely impossible to convict Anya.
Unless it can be proved that grandma's death was directly caused by the car accident.
Jian Si Ning can only place his hopes on Chi Ye.
"Judge, I request that my grandmother's attending physician at the time be allowed to appear in court. He can testify to the critical condition of my grandmother at the time and the final cause of death."
