A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 510


    Chapter 510


    As Judge Rackham and the prosecutor read the documents solemnly, the spectators


    all held their breaths nervously.


    Cordy’s heart could leap out of her throat at this moment-even she was taken by


    surprise by the sudden reversal.


    All she knew was that John was innocent. She had no idea that the Stuarts were the


    ones whomitted the crime in the first ce!


    She suddenly remembered that time when she visited John at the detention centerhow he smiled


    confidently and told her that the Stuarts wouldn’t have the strength to

    retaliate.


    So, this was it.


    It turns out that he had been staying with the Stuarts all this time…because he was


    gathering evidence of their crimes.


    And she had misunderstood his intentions all this while!


    Cordy turned her eyes to Sean, unable to think about anything else.


    Right now, what she worried about was whether Sean would allow this trial to continue


    once it became clear the Stuarts were involved.


    Sean may have been unbiased before, but that was because the Stuarts were not


    involved.


    The situation is clearly different now, and Cordy even caught Judge Rackham sliding


    nces at Sean more than once, as if waiting for his decision.


    Would the trial continue?


    Nheless, the silence continued for over five minutes until Sean finally confirmed


    the veracity of the evidence, and turned towards Toby. “The evidence that the defense


    counsel provided does indicate affiliations between those ounts and Stuart


    Holdings. However, the fact that Stuart Holdings would pin the crime on John Levine


    when they had not been implicated in any way makes the logic debatable.”


    While Sean didn’t fully acknowledge the evidence produced by the defendant, it was


    obvious he had no intention of ending the trial.


    Judge Rackham understood that, and therefore did not call for an adjournment.


    “There was another man speaking in the recording that was yed just now,” Toby


    reminded Sean.


    Sean immediately retorted, “Unfortunately, the identity of the other man


    notwithstanding, I must reiterate that the recording is too controversial and does not


    hold sway as court evidence.”


    “In that case, I would like permission to prove the veracity of the recording. Your


    Honor?”


    Though Toby was speaking to Judge Rackham, Judge Rackham was ncing at


    Sean instead.


    Seeing a nod from the man, Judge Rackham said, “Permission granted.”


    Toby yed a video, projecting it at therge screen in the courtroom.


    It was short, but the video quality was high and it waspletely uncensored, baring


    the scandalous scene for all to see and leaving every spectator in the courtroom


    gasping.


    The voices in the video were identical with the voice recording just now as well, which


    was sufficient proof that the other man had leverage against Wade Jonas, and


    sumbed to his threats.


    However…


    “That is still too questionable to be eptable as evidence,” Sean said, once again


    hitting the nail on the head. “You could have gotten the video, and inserted the


    recording after the fact. It still does not verify the recording’s veracity entirely.”


    Everyone in the courtroom was impressed by Sean’s keen insight


    At this point, most people would be swept along by logical facies and jump straight


    to conclusions instead of resisting it and considering the issue with cool rationality.


    There was a reason the man was the best legal counsel, bar none.


    “In that case, if I can prove that usingpromising videos for ckmail is the modus


    operandi of Stuart Holdings, would my recording hold sway?” Toby asked Sean in


    turn.


    Sean wasn’t about to fall for Toby’s ploy, however. “That depends entirely on the


    evidence itself—if it is solid.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Cranston,” Toby said, and turned towards Judge Rakcham. “Your


    Honor, with your permission, I would like to cross-examine one of the alleged victims,


    Fabian Locke.”


    “Granted,” Judge Rackham agreed to it immediately-he certainly was no pushover,


    not after he climbed the hierarchy to reach where he was today.


    Since Sean was going this far, it was obvious he wouldn’t stop until this trial ended


    here and today.


    And all Judge Rackham could do was y along.
