When Pauline Briggs heard Sabrina Johnson call out to her, she rely glared at Sabrina with hatred, all her past affection and love completely gone. Pauline Briggs had never truly hated anyone in her life, but she hated Sabrina Johnson.
In this life, the next, and even the one after that, she could never forgive this woman who repaid kindness with such profound ingratitude!
Sabrina Johnson saw Pauline Briggs glaring at her, her eyes like sharp knives. Sabrina looked at Pauline sadly, unable to say another word.
The person who loved her most in this world was gone; she herself had killed the person who loved her most.
"...The trial of Sabrina Johnson for the murder of Dexter Johnson and the aggravated assault of Rosalina will now begin!"
The judge’s gavel fell, and Sabrina Johnson’s trial officially began!
The hearts of the Johnson family mbers were in their throats. Kathryn stayed by Madam Johnson’s side, Heart-Saving Pills at the ready, fearing that the stimulation might cause an accident given Madam Johnson’s advanced age.
"The court investigation will now comnce. First, the prosecutor will read the indictnt," the judge stated.
The prosecutor began to read, "As the court has already verified the defendant Sabrina Johnson’s basic information, it will not be reread at this ti.
Allegations: In May 2012, the defendant, Sabrina Johnson, conspiring with Frederick Stewart (currently at large), deliberately withheld Dexter Johnson’s life-saving dication during his heart attack. Knowing full well that her actions would lead to Dexter Johnson’s death, Sabrina Johnson still carried out the cri. Her actions demonstrated subjective intent. The procuratorate will therefore prosecute Sabrina Johnson for intentional homicide.
In March 2016, the defendant, Sabrina Johnson, viciously assaulted the pregnant Rosalina, inflicting life-threatening injuries. The defendant not only failed to provide tily dical treatnt but also disposed of the victim in a garbage bin. Consequently, Rosalina suffered a miscarriage and required a hysterectomy, permanently robbing her of the ability to bear children. The defendant’s actions were heinous, cruel, and had an extrely detrintal social impact. The procuratorate will also prosecute Sabrina Johnson for intentional homicide in this matter.
This court finds that the defendant Sabrina Johnson’s actions violated Article 232 of this nation’s criminal law. The facts of the cri are clear, and the evidence is both reliable and sufficient. Therefore, she should be held criminally responsible for intentional homicide. Furthermore, given that the defendant’s thods were exceedingly cruel and her conduct utterly reprehensible, the prosecution requests that the court impose a sentence reflecting the severity of these acts, in accordance with the law."
A wave of emotion swept through the courtroom. Sienna Johnson’s hand trembled in Adrian Desmond’s grasp. She had waited too long, far too long, for this judgnt. Looking up at the courtroom ceiling, she thought, Dad, can you see this? The person who killed you is finally facing justice!
Adrian Desmond squeezed her hand tightly, offering silent comfort.
The judge asked, "Defendant Sabrina Johnson, do you have any objections to the content of the indictnt as read by the prosecutor?"
"I plead not guilty!"
An uproar followed Sabrina Johnson’s declaration. Everyone was astounded by her utter lack of repentance. Recordings, videos, and eyewitness testimonies all served as irrefutable evidence. How could Sabrina Johnson possess such audacity, such a thick skin, to continue her denials in the face of it all?
Pauline Briggs said agitatedly, "She obviously did it! How can she refuse to admit it? How can this woman be so utterly shaless?"
Sienna Johnson reassured her, "Don’t worry. The evidence is conclusive. Even if Sabrina refuses to admit guilt, the judge can still sentence her."
"Really?"
"Yes."
The prosecutor directly presented the evidence: the audio recording submitted by Sienna Johnson, and the video footage captured by Leanne Andrews, which showed Sabrina Johnson assaulting Rosalina...
Sienna Johnson couldn’t comprehend what Sabrina Johnson was thinking.
Even now, was she still going to make a desperate last stand?
With so many dia outlets present, and with television stations and online platforms broadcasting live, did Sabrina Johnson actually think it was glorious for everyone to witness her evil deeds paraded once more? Whatever the verdict today, her notoriety in Sileria City was already firmly established.
"Your Honor, I request permission to call my witness!" the prosecutor said.
"Permission granted!"
Rosalina took the stand. As a victim, she wore no makeup, dressed in oversized, old white clothes. Her face was pale, her cheekbones prominent from weight loss.
After all, Rosalina had been a mistress; she was adept at playing her cards, knowing how to appear vulnerable to elicit sympathy.
"Rosalina, in March 2016, at the duplex apartnt on Champagne Coast, you were assaulted and beaten, resulting in severe injuries, a miscarriage, and ultimately, a hysterectomy. Do you know who was responsible?"
"I do!" Rosalina glared at Sabrina Johnson.
"Is that person present in this courtroom?"
Rosalina pointed to Sabrina Johnson in the defendant’s dock. "Sabrina Johnson! She’s the one who did this to ! If I hadn’t been lucky, I would have died long ago!"
"I don’t know you!" Sabrina Johnson denied vehently.
The prosecutor asked, "The defendant claims she doesn’t know you. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?"
"Yes, I do. I have audio recordings. Sabrina Johnson even threatened to kill !" Rosalina revealed she had kept another ace up her sleeve: recordings of her phone conversations with Sabrina from their nurous confrontations.
Initially, Rosalina had saved these recordings rely to let Frederick Stewart hear them. She wanted Frederick to realize that Sabrina Johnson was a shrew, believing that n prefer gentle won, not termagants.
"...Sissi, you bitch! If you don’t abort the child, I’ll kill you! You want to marry into the Stewart family and replace ? We’ll see if you have the good fortune for that!"
Sabrina Johnson’s vicious voice echoed.
Rosalina sobbed, "This woman is a shrew! There’s no affection left between her and Frederick Stewart. Frederick wanted to divorce this venomous, black-hearted woman, but she refused. He also told that Sabrina Johnson held so kind of leverage over him, so evidence that prevented him from divorcing her.
"Now the truth is out! It turns out Sabrina Johnson and Frederick Stewart murdered Dexter Johnson together! She used that to control Frederick, which is why he couldn’t divorce her... *sob*..."
Everyone despises a howrecker, yet Sissi sohow managed to portray herself not as a woman who stole another’s husband, but as a victim.
Suddenly, with lightning speed, Sabrina Johnson lunged at Rosalina. Before Rosalina could react, Sabrina tackled her to the ground and, in a shocking display of violence, bit off a piece of Rosalina’s ear.
Everyone was stunned; it was as if ti itself had stopped.
A few seconds later, Rosalina shrieked in agony, "AHHH!"
The bailiffs reacted quickly, pulling Sabrina Johnson away. With Rosalina’s flesh still clamped in her teeth, Sabrina shrieked madly, "You bitch! I’ll kill you!"
Due to this unexpected outburst, the judge imdiately declared a recess.
Pauline Briggs was terrified, staring at Sabrina Johnson as if at a demon. Is this ferocious, maniacal woman truly the sa clever, well-behaved adopted daughter I once knew?
"Sienna, what on earth is wrong with her?" Pauline asked, still shaken.
Sienna Johnson sneered. "Who knows?"
Adrian Desmond’s eyes narrowed as he watched the woman being led away by two bailiffs, his gaze dark and profound.
