NovelEnglish291 Video Evidence
“Objection, this is complete nonsense.” Joanna’s lawyer stood up again. “You just said that this happened twenty years ago. How could the videotape still be preserved? It must be forged. Your honor, I don’t think there’s a need to present such evidence.”
The judge pondered for a moment and looked at everyone present.
When he saw Brandon’s gloomy face, the judge decided wisely, “Your objection is overruled. The court permits the prosecution to present evidence and reserves the right to review the evidence.”
Courtney nodded and pressed the play button for the video. “The time is indicated in the upper right corner of the video file. At 11:00 pm, Rita walked out of the back door of the workplace alone.

“At 11:43, the camera recorded the scene of Joanna leaving the forest alone. However, there were obvious bloodstains on her body. After that, the poor girl, Rita, never came out of the forest again,” Courtney continued.
At this moment, the committee and jury members began to whisper to each other. They looked at Joanna with suspicion.
Courtney’s eagle-like gaze turned to the lawyer who had just defended Joanna and calmly said, “I’ll take responsibility for the authenticity of this video. If anyone has any doubts, I’ll allow you to use any method to test it. I can only say that some people think that they can escape the law, but the Moon Goddess is always in charge. Under the moonlight, all criminal acts cannot be hidden. She will not let anyone who tries to commit a crime go.”
The whispers in the court grew louder and louder, and everyone was discussing the scene in the video.
We could see that the images in the video were quite old and not recently recorded, which added to the video’s authenticity.
I saw that Joanna’s face was pale. She didn’t have that look of victory in her eyes anymore.
She stood stiffly on the spot, sticking her neck out and refusing to lower her head. But I could see that she was already an arrow at the end of its flight.
The members of the committee and the judge sitting at the front also frowned and showed disappointed expressions.
Joanna’s lawyer still wanted to put up a stubborn resistance. “My client is innocent. She would never do such a thing. She didn’t have such a reason or motive, so why would she kill an ordinary human? This is too ridiculous. I think this is all a deliberate set-up.”
He was flustered and unorganized. After saying that, he even reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. These words didn’t have any effect and even had the opposite effect. The jury would also think he was nervous because of a guilty conscience.
“You mean my mate spent a lot of time framing your client?” Brandon’s voice was as cold as ice, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. “Not only did I not stop her, I even let her show this fake thing to everyone so that you can expose her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrandon was practically roaring at Joanna’s lawyer at the end of his speech. Michael was right. Courtney was Brandon’s weak spot. Whether he should say it or not, Brandon was like an old hen protecting her chicks. As long as anyone dared to say anything bad about Courtney, he would bare his teeth and make a fierce expression to teach the other party a lesson.
Joanna’s lawyer’s lips quivered, but he could not say anything.
Of course, he did not dare to criticize the future King and Queen in front of everyone.
“Silence,” the judge said to maintain order. He turned his gaze back to Courtney and cautiously said, “I think you understand the seriousness of the matter you’re accusing. Are you sure that everything in the video is true? ”
“I’m sure,” Courtney replied with certainty.
“I have a question.” One of the committee members raised his hand and said, “As far as I know, there’s no place where the surveillance cameras’ records would be kept for so long. May I ask where you got this video from?”
“I agree with your point of view. Indeed, a normal surveillance camera’s record would not be kept for so long,” Courtney replied politely. “But I can only say that I’m very lucky.”
Courtney took out another little gadget from the document bag and then explained, “Because this is an old camera, its storage space is very small, and it doesn’t have many functions. So, when its memory is full, it will no longer work.
“Coincidentally, it was placed in a rather remote corner. Everyone thought this camera had been broken for many years, and no one had considered repairing it. So, its recordings are preserved until I found them recently.”
