    Chapter 1025 In Court (3) Reversal


    "My deduction is as follows," Len replied.


    "In other words, my client had seen this magazine eight years ago and had it stored in her memory.


    Recently, she took it out and giarized from it."


    As soon as he spoke, people began tough.


    Was the intiff''swyer trying to convict his client?!


    The court hadn''t even ruled yet and he was already surrendering.


    "If a designer has an impression of a design, they will always remember it. Once they have that


    impression, they won''t forget for many years. Besse is an internationally renowned designer with


    exceptional design abilities. It''s entirely possible that she saw this design eight years ago and recently


    giarized from it again." Len said bluntly. As he said, he was also defending Phantom.


    In the world of design, giarism is truly intolerable.


    "Is there any possibility that my client recently saw Phantom''s work and then copied from it?"


    spected Besse''swyer.


    To everyone present, the counsel of the defence seemed to be digging a hole for his client constantly.


    Although seemingly iprehensible, those present seemed to understand what he meant. After all,


    Besse''swyer was also from Northfield. Northfield''s people uphold their knowledge copyright on their


    territory, which was understandable. Everybody believed that Besse was doomed this time around.


    "It''s unlikely," Len said. "This magazine couldn''t have been kept for so long unless someone


    deliberately collected them like Phantom, who would keep it because her work was published in it. And


    since Besse is a foreigner, it''s improbable that she could''ve obtained this magazine abroad since


    Northfield fashion designs weren''t recognized internationally at that time; thus, the magazine wouldn''t


    have had any chance of being circted overseas. The only possibility would be if Besse identally


    stumbled upon this magazine when it was released."


    "Okay, thank you, Mr Shaw."


    Len exited.


    The defence began again, "Your honour, I just received confirmation from the publisher of this


    magazine stating that only 500 copies were sold, and there wasn''t much buzz surrounding its release


    within the industry circle. It quickly fell into obscurity. Therefore, it would''ve been almost impossible for


    my client toe across such an obscure publication within recent times."


    "Objection!" the prosecution said. "Just now, your witness made it clear that for a designer, even if they


    saw a design 8 years ago, a well-known designer can design it now. That means Besse didn''t copy this


    magazine recently, but saw it 8 years ago and only used it to giarize now."


    "I agree with the intiff''swyer. My client did see this magazine 8 years ago and then giarized


    from it."


    "If you say so, what is there left to argue?"


    The defence looked at the judge and said, "Your honour, do you agree with my point of view and that of


    the intiff''s attorney?"


    The judge looked at the jury who had discussed for a while before giving him a clear answer.


    "This court agrees with bothwyers'' views." Replied the judge.


    "Then just announce the verdict!" said the intiff''s attorney. He thought it was an easywsuit to win


    without much effort since the defendant surrendered on their own ord.


    "Your honour, I have another question I want to ask my client." Requested the defence.


    The judge hadn''t spoken yet when the intiff''swyer mocked, "Hurry up and make your client admit


    giarism and request leniency from the court."


    "Watch your words." Reminded the judge.


    "Yes."


    "The Defendant''s Attorney is allowed to ask questions of his client." Said the judge


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    "Thank you, Your Honour." The Defendant''s Attorney bowed respectfully before turning back towards


    Besse, who remained calm throughout all these usations against her work. She showed no


    emotional fluctuations despite her attorney denying her in various ways during this trial.


    "Miss Besse, just now based on evidence provided by intiff along with testimonies given in court


    today, we have determined that your Angel series is indeed copied from Phantom''s original works."


    "I didn''t copy anything." Besse denied firmly.


    "What evidence do you have that proves you didn''t giarize?"


    "I''ve never been to Northfield before nor seen Phantom Works before."


    "While only 500 copies were sold of this magazine, as long as they circted in the market there was a


    high possibility of them reaching into your hands. Even if ording to facts, the chances of seeing this


    design recently are zero but eight years ago when the magazine first hit market cirction, all evidence


    points towards you having seen this design back then. What proof do you have for yourself?!"


    Besse fell silent after hearing these usations. Thewyer for the defendant was pressing Besse


    aggressively. It was clear that he was trying to force her to admit to giarism. Minerva, who was


    standing nearby, was enjoying the spectacle.


    Besse could only me herself for not being one in Northfield. Naturally, everyone from there would


    take the Phantom''s side. But she was the real victim here. As Minerva felt pleased secretly, Besse


    suddenly spoke up, "I don''t remember anything from four years ago."


    The whole courtroom erupted in confusion and chaos.


    "What does that mean?!" Some people in the audience shouted out.


    "Quiet! Everyone remain calm!" The judge sternly ordered.


    The court fell into silence again.


    "Miss Besse, could you please speak more clearly? What do you mean by saying ''you don''t remember


    anything from four years ago''?" asked the defencewyer.


    "I got into a serious car ident four years ago," Besse exined calmly. "I spent a year lying in bed


    and undergoing treatment at the hospital. The doctors even said I might be a vegetable at one


    point, but my family never gave up on me and kept fighting for me until I finally woke up again."


    "But when I did wake up, I realized that I had lost all of my memories from before then. To me now,


    everything before that time is just a nk te."


    "Do you have any evidence to prove your amnesia?"


    "I have an official diagnosis certificate issued by the hospital."


    Thewyer quickly grabbed hold of it and handed it over to be examined by jury members.


    "Objection!"


    It suddenly dawned on the prosecutionwyer-he''d been tricked!


    All along the defencewyer had been arguing about how impossible it would be for his client to have


    seen Phantom''s design recently since she could only have seen it eight years ago-everyone including


    the judge had agreed with him.


    And now Besse saying she had lost her memory 4 years ago meant she could shake off her


    responsibility.


    "This diagnosis certificate may not even be valid! Was it issued by a hospital in Northfield? ording to


    my knowledge, Besse is not amon designer, and it would be easy for her to fake a certificate like


    this! I think that she could be pretending not to remember." The prosecutionwyer retorted, agitated


    and satirical.
