Defense needs a reason, a reason that convinces the jury.

The fact that Sean Patterson died in his own home is undeniable, either by suicide or murder. To exonerate Henry Jameson and Noelle Nichols from suspicion, Purple Summers and Austin Ross must list more possibilities.

Originally, when Sean Patterson blackmailed Noelle Nichols, Purple Summers could have speculated that Sean Patterson wanted to punish Noelle Nichols through his death. Although a stretch, it wouldn’t have been a bad strategy, but those videos proved that Sean Patterson’s threat was to expose them.

The suicide angle was blocked.

“The prosecutor will surely try to prove that Sean Patterson’s death wasn’t suicide. In the next few days, we might see new evidence, new witnesses; we need to be mentally prepared,” Purple Summers said.

Austin Ross nodded, his brows furrowed as if deep in thought.

On the way back, Purple Summers asked Henry Jameson if he knew about the video.

Henry Jameson’s face was grave as he shook his head.

“Then do you know about her past boyfriend?” Purple Summers asked.

Henry Jameson still shook his head, his voice hoarse, “I knew she had a boyfriend, but I didn’t know who he was, nor that… they had filmed a sex video.”

Purple Summers paused for a moment before asking him, “Do you still believe that Noelle Nichols couldn’t possibly be a murderer?”

Henry Jameson closed his eyes, his expression pained, and slowly said, “She has kept things from me, probably because she was worried about our relationship, but she really couldn’t have murdered anyone, she had no reason to do that, she wouldn’t!”

“I’m not asking this because I doubt her…” Purple Summers thought for a moment, then decided to tell Henry Jameson, “I hope you are prepared. This is a murder case, the pressure of the court hearing isn’t something ordinary people can withstand. With the intense questioning and media scrutiny to come, if she can’t handle it, she might just push the blame onto you to escape conviction.”

“She wouldn’t!” Henry Jameson looked up at Purple Summers, “If it weren’t for this incident, we would be married by now! She wouldn’t do that to me!”

Purple Summers gave a faint smile, “I hope she wouldn’t.”

In the following days, the police found Noelle Nichols’s and Henry Jameson’s fingerprints on glass cups at Sean Patterson’s house, and they also found the mentioned sex video on Sean Patterson’s laptop.

Moreover, the prosecution brought in another member of the group Angelina as a witness.

Before the court hearing started, Purple Summers ran into Allen Rivera at the courthouse, and Allen Rivera greeted her, “What’s your defense strategy?”

“Suicide,” Purple Summers replied.

“Then you’d better be careful,” Allen Rivera said.

Purple Summers couldn’t help but smile wryly, “With this case and you involved, I definitely will be.”

…

The trial began, and as the prosecutor, Allen Rivera called the first defendant, Henry Jameson, to the stand.

“Mr. Henry Jameson, how long have you been in a relationship with Ms. Noelle Nichols?” Allen Rivera asked.

“About three and a half years.”

“To my knowledge, you met at school where you were her foreign language teacher, and you resigned from your teaching position to be with her, is that correct?”

Henry Jameson nodded, “Yes.”

“Your parents have always disapproved of your relationship, correct?” Allen Rivera continued.

“Yes, they believed an artist’s life was too complex, not suitable for my family’s background… but I convinced them,” Henry Jameson answered, “My parents are very open-minded, they might have disapproved at first but they eventually agreed to bless us.”

Allen Rivera, with a serious expression, nodded, “Being together, you’ve really overcome a lot of difficulties. It must have been hard; I assume you must love Ms. Noelle Nichols a lot.”

Henry Jameson looked at Noelle Nichols in the defendant’s box, “Yes, I love her very much.”

Allen Rivera continued, “A woman you deeply love is threatened by another man, so you killed him?”

Henry Jameson’s face showed a hint of shock.

On the other side, Purple Summers stood up, “Objection!”
