Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 300: 300: Allen Rivera

The jury members all showed thoughtful expressions.

Death examinations by forensic doctors rarely contain mistakes, but rarely doesn’t mean never.

In fact, in the history of criminal investigations, there have indeed been a few cases where the negligence of a forensic doctor led to the wrong direction of investigation.

If the witness’s testimony is true, and Delilah White was still alive after Gerald Graves left, then Gerald’s charge of causing death by negligence cannot be established.

Marcel Jefferson muttered beside Purple Summers, “No wonder he’s so arrogant. Turns out he found a witness. This should result in acquittal, right?”

Purple Summers didn’t say a word, only giving Marcel Jefferson a faint, somewhat helpless glance.

“What’s wrong?” Marcel Jefferson felt her gaze was strange and asked, “Miss, did I say something wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Purple Summers’ gaze returned to both sides of the court hearing.

The judge asked the prosecutor if he wanted to question the witness.

Allen Rivera calmly stood up, his back straight, tall, and his expression serious.

“Mr. Robin Harper, what is your occupation?” Allen Rivera asked.

“Fashion designer.”

“Did you know the deceased, Delilah White?”

“No.”

“Since you didn’t know her, why did you pay attention to her daily life?”

“She was beautiful and just happened to live across from my window. As a single man, it should be normal for me to take a few more glances when passing by, right, prosecutor?”

In the gallery, Purple Summers murmured, “The witness Mr. Ross found has a very high psychological quality.”

Not only was he not nervous in the face of the prosecutor’s questioning, but he could also respond sarcastically, which was very rare.

There are only two possibilities for this situation: either Mr. Ross and the witness had rehearsed beforehand, or the witness himself had excellent psychological quality. Purple Summers’ guess tended towards the latter.

Because this person’s eyes were too calm.

Allen Rivera’s expression on his face remained solemn, with no fluctuations, and continued to ask, “Since you had a certain degree of voyeurism towards Delilah White, you must have seen very clearly what happened between her and Gerald Graves that night, right?”

Witness Robin Harper shook his head in denial, “I didn’t see it. I went to bed very early that day.”

Allen Rivera continued to ask, “Do fashion designers go to bed early?”

“Objection!” Mr. Ross stood up, speaking righteously, “I object to the prosecutor’s meaningless questions to our witness. The key to this case is that the witness saw with his own eyes that Delilah White was still alive at seven- thirty! Even if something happened between Delilah White and my client before her death, it cannot prove that her death was directly caused by my client.”

Allen Rivera glanced indifferently and said to the judge, “Our side suspects that the defense’s witness has committed perjury, so we are conducting a detailed inquiry.”

The judge asked, “Does the prosecutor have any basis for suspicion?”

The court is based on evidence, and a mere accusation cannot render the testimony invalid.

Allen Rivera said, “The incident occurred in the summer, and Delilah White’s room window faced east. At seven-thirty in the morning, the sun had already risen, and the glass window would reflect sunlight. Mr. Robin Harper, who lives across the street, could not have possibly seen inside the window, so he must be lying.”

The judge’s expression became solemn, his gaze scrutinizing Robin Harper.

Perjury in court is a very serious offense!

At this moment, Allen Rivera took a piece of document from assistant Jade Carlson’s hand and said loudly, “Mr. Robin Harper, we found that your account suddenly received 240 thousand dollars three days ago. Can you explain the source of this money?”
