Before the closing arguments began, Purple Summers received a text message from Alexander Summers on her phone.

She glanced at it and saw that the content was about what she had expected. Purple shut off her phone without any change in her expression.

Henry Jameson was sitting next to her and asked in a low voice, “Are you confident?”

Purple looked straight ahead, her face expressionless, “If your girlfriend’s lawyer hasn’t played dirty, I think we might have some confidence now.”

“…” Henry was taken aback.

The first to deliver the closing arguments was the prosecutor, Allen Rivera.

His closing arguments, true to his character, exuded an impersonal bureaucratic coldness but were filled with coherence and persuasiveness.

“… The sleeping pills belonged to Noelle Nichols, Henry Jameson’s fingerprints were on the wine glass, an eyewitness saw Noelle Nichols and Henry Jameson leaving the victim’s residence, and at the crime scene, apart from Noelle Nichols’s and Henry Jameson’s footprints, no other signs of a suspicious intruder were found.

The defense attorneys’ sudden internal conflict is nothing more than a defense tactic. They want to confuse you. Once you start thinking about who killed the victim, you’ll enter a dead end and won’t be able to convict.

This case couldn’t have been done by just one person. It required Noelle Nichols’s trickery to make Sean Patterson drink the wine laced with sleeping pills, it needed Henry Jameson to move the unconscious Sean Patterson to the second-floor bathroom, and it needed Noelle Nichols, who was familiar with the neighborhood, to avoid the cameras.

This murder case has two perpetrators. They think they are smart, engineering a scene of accidental death to make it look like Sean Patterson drowned in his bath due to the effects of the drugs, but fate is unpredictable. They didn’t know they had left crushed powder by the wine glass, and they didn’t know that Sean Patterson had ordered takeout before his death.

Would a person who has ordered takeout consume sleeping pills? Would they take a bath? Respected members of the jury, I believe your wisdom is sufficient to see through these ludicrous tricks!”

Allen Rivera’s closing arguments effectively blocked the points Austin Ross had just made.

But things having come to this, changing strategy now was impossible. Austin Ross still directed his accusations squarely at Henry Jameson.

“Physical evidence, the sleeping pills were purchased by him, and he could easily get them; motive, he has harbored resentment against Sean Patterson for a long time, and he detests Sean Patterson’s control over his girlfriend! Most importantly, my client, Noelle Nichols, had a deep emotional bond with the victim, they trusted each other, and it’s impossible that she would commit such a heinous act! —

Not to mention, there is a long staircase from the first floor to the second. Tell me, how could a fragile woman carry the much heavier, unconscious Sean Patterson up to the second-floor bathroom? She simply couldn’t do it! It was Henry Jameson. Henry Jameson hated Sean Patterson, Henry Jameson wanted to retrieve the video, Henry Jameson killed Sean Patterson! It was all done by Henry Jameson alone!”

Austin Ross’s oratory was passionate. To make his argument more forceful, his tone was varied and definite in his conclusion.

Henry Jameson’s face grew uglier with each passing moment, becoming pallid tinged with green, as if he felt his doom was sealed.

Finally, it was Purple Summers’s turn.

She slowly stood up, approached the jury, and after a moment of silence, she began, “Murder trials are always difficult because we often hear multiple versions of the story, and with too many stories, the truth becomes blurry.

Has anyone noticed something today? All the stories share one point in common: there is no direct evidence to prove that the two defendants committed murder. Let’s look at the evidence we have now, shall we?

One, the sleeping pills. Noelle Nichols owned them, and Henry Jameson, being close to her, could easily have gotten the pills. Does that suffice to charge them with murder? No, let’s not forget, Sean Patterson and Noelle Nichols were also close, and he too could have gotten the medication.

Two, fingerprints. What can fingerprints tell us? Noelle Nichols and Henry Jameson went to Sean Patterson’s house to discuss the next day’s wedding; they drank and chatted. Isn’t it quite normal for their fingerprints to be found on the wine glasses?”
