Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Third Witness

Translator: 549690339 |

Marcel Jefferson stated that the surveillance footage must be fake, leaving Jade Carlson speechless.

“Objection!” She unconsciously stood up and yelled.

The judge looked at her with confusion, “Grounds for the prosecutor’s objection?”

The defense questioning the credibility of a witness’s testimony and presenting evidence to challenge it is a reasonable request, and Jade had no grounds to object.

Jade opened her mouth, momentarily frozen.

The judge seemed disappointed in today’s prosecutor and frowned, “Please prepare for the next trial procedure.”

This simple comment basically indicated her incompetence, suggesting she had to prepare even for court appearances.

Jade’s face turned pale as she slowly sat down, feeling the disdainful gazes from people around her…

Unconscious cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

How on earth had it come to this…

How was Purple Summers so skilled?

She couldn’t understand it.

Two large mobile screens were moved to the center of the courtroom by staff, placing them side by side.

Marcel Jefferson controlled the remote while the right screen played surveillance footage from November 2nd, and the other played another surveillance video.

He fast-forwarded to a certain point.

“Please look closely here.” Marcel Jefferson pointed to the gray-white sandy road in the surveillance footage.

If observed carefully, there seemed to be a small, dark shadow there—tiny and blurry.

As the video played, the shadow vanished in a flash.

The judge frowned and asked, “Is what the defense lawyer pointing out relevant to this case?”

“Of course.” Marcel Jefferson smiled and adjusted both videos to play at the same slow speed, side-by-side.

Everyone saw a small black shadow zip across the sandy road in the video.

What was going on?

What was that black shadow?

Some people had already guessed the answer—

“It’s a fly, isn’t it?”

“…A fly flew by.”

“Both videos have flies flying by!”

Marcel Jefferson smiled, “This is the factory’s video from the afternoon of October 19th. I want to ask everyone why a fly would appear in exactly the same location on November 2nd?”

He elegantly turned and addressed the jury, continuing, “Furthermore, it happens exactly 17 minutes and 48 seconds into the video. Unless this fly is equipped with an alarm clock accurate to the second, I just can’t understand this phenomenon.”

The jury members looked doubtful, and some even turned their gaze to Jade, waiting for her explanation.

However, Jade’s mind was already in chaos!

How could such a clear-cut case end up like this?!

She was at a loss for words.

“It’s…It’s a coincidence… This is a coincidence…” she feebly uttered, her voice weak.

Marcel Jefferson didn’t care about her, his cold gaze focused on the witness stand.

“That’s because someone deleted the surveillance video from the afternoon of November 2nd! In order to fool the police, the video from October 19th was copied! The only person capable of this is the security guard at the factory! Jared Curtis, you found Nana Rowe alone on the afternoon of November 2nd and forcibly kidnapped her! The surveillance footage would have captured this, so you tampered with it!”

He suddenly lunged forward and seized Jared Curtis’s hand, “The color of your hand is completely different from the rest of your body! Your hands are whiter because you’re used to wearing gloves for many years. That’s why only Caspian Maple and Nana Rowe’s fingerprints were found on the jump rope! Think about it, if Nana Rowe was tortured to death by Caspian Maple, why wouldn’t he wipe his own fingerprints off and stupidly leave the murder weapon behind?” “Objection!” Jade got up anxiously and protested, “I object to the baseless allegations made by the defense against our witness!”

Both sides were at a stalemate.

At this moment, the always quiet Purple Summers raised her hand—
