Mr. O’Neill hurriedly said, “We have evidence in hand that my client was framed. Your Honor, my client stated that the night before the incident, he was alone in his apartment and ordered take-out. He fainted after eating the food and later woke up in the cave.
“In accordance with what Logan Law said, we checked the surveillance cameras of the apartment he lives in but coincidentally, all the footage within half an hour after the delivery man arrived was deleted.”
Shaun sneered, “You could have deleted the footage
yourselves to make things complicated.” “We have more evidence.”
Mr. O’Neilled submitted surveillance footage. “This is the dashcam footage of a car we found in the downstairs parking lot belonging to someone in the community. At 8:20 p.m. on the 28th, two people were seen carrying a large bag and passed through the parking lot. My client said that one of them is the delivery man.”
The court personnel played the footage. In the dim parking lot, two suspicious- looking people were carrying a large bag into a car’s trunk.
Mr. O’Neill said, “This bag can perfectly fit my client.”
Shaun’s eyes narrowed slightly. Beside him, Sarah’s eyes flashed in panic as she subconsciously grabbed Shaun’s arm.
“Shaun, are we going to lose?”
Sarah patted the back of her hand and got up unhurriedly. “Ridiculous! You said that there’s a person inside this big bag, but that’s just your imagination. There’s no direct evidence to prove it.”
The judge nodded. “I agree. Defense counsel, do you have any other evidence?”
“Yes, there are plenty, ” Mr. O’Neill nodded and said, “We found several local farmers near the cave. There are witnesses who said that early that morning, there were two suspicious-looking people walking toward the mountain. They said Ms. Sarah Neeson was walking behind them. She was not kidnapped.”
“You’re talking nonsense…” Sarah stood up in anger and indignation. “You’ve gone too far! I’m clearly the victim, but you’re slandering me like this.”
“Plaintiff, be quiet.” The judge knocked the gavel and warned Mr. O’Neill with a frown, “Defense counsel, do you have the evidence to back your words?”
“There is— ”
Mr. O’Neill had not finished speaking. However, Shaun suddenly said harshly, “Mr. O’Neill, you said that the witnesses saw this scene early in the morning but I remember that the morning sky nowadays isn’t bright, much less in the forest where the incident happened. You said the witness saw Sarah Neeson walking into the forest behind two men and was not kidnapped. In that lighting, could they have seen clearly if Sarah Neeson didn’t have her hands tied?”
Mr. O’Neill was stunned for a moment. “ I think we can let them come to court first…”
Shaun said aggressively, “The local farmers must be very short of money. It’d be easy to buy them off with money to get them to change their confessions.”
“I object…”
Shaun sneered, “Mr. O’Neill, I don’t need to remind you that buying false witnesses is illegal. In fact,
it’s ridiculous for them to say in their statements that Sarah Neeson wasn’t tied up with anything.
“Your Honor, please take a look at my client’s hands. The bruises on her hands are still fresh. These marks were due to her hands being bound that day.”
Shaun lifted Sarah’s hands as he spoke, and Sarah immediately bit her lip. Her eyes reddened, causing the people in the courtroom to pity her.
Shaun continued to attack coldly, saying, “Whether you’re a lawyer or a person, there should be a bottom line. My client has suffered a lot of injuries this time, but now, you’re implying that she deliberately framed Logan Law. You’re going too far.”
“Yes, that’s a little overboard.”
The people in the audience whispered.
Cate stared at Shaun, her beautiful eyes showing disgust.
Mireya was furious. “Shaun Lyons is really despicable. He’s inciting the judge’s emotions and making him have a negative impression of Mr. O’Neill. The witnesses Austin tried so hard to find can’t even enter the courthouse now.”
“With Shaun’s eloquence and aura, I’m guessing that even if those eyewitnesses came in, he’d make them appear as if they had been bribed by us.
Fortunately, Wesley found more evidence for us, or we’d definitely lose, ” Cate lamented.
“Wesley is still the best. Shaun Lyons is just a pile of dogsh*t,” Mireya cussed.
Cate frowned deeply as her body tensed up.
Just when everyone thought that Mr. O’Neill was at a loss, he said again, “Mr. Lyons, we’ve never bought any witnesses. You may not be aware, but we’ve found the vehicle that was used to kidnap Ms. Sarah Neeson. It’s this black one, right?”
Mr. O’Neill took out a photo. Shaun looked at it and nodded.
Sarah suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Mr. O’Neill said, “We got the attorney-general’s department to do the appraisal. What’s strange is that there was a large bag in the backseat of the kidnapper’s car that’s exactly the same as the one photographed by the dashcam before.”
Mr. O’Neill let the court personnel bring up the first video footage submitted before and paused it at the specific scene. The large bag carried by the delivery man and the other man in the frame was identical to the large bag in the photo of the car.
Shaun’s handsome face changed slightly. His slender fingers could not help but grab the pen on the table, gripping it tightly.
Mr. O’Neill said, “In addition, Logan Law’s fingerprints were found inside the bag but the fingerprints on the handles of the bag don’t belong to my client but two unknown men.
“ In other words, you claim that it was Logan Law who kidnapped Ms. Sarah Neeson, but when she was kidnapped, Mr. Law was stuffed in a bag. Could there be such a kidnapper, Mr. Lyons? Or are you trying to say that this is something my client has staged?”
Shaun pursed his thin lips sharply.
He knew that as a lawyer, Sarah would definitely lose if he did not speak up.
However, when the evidence was in front of him, it forced him to falter.
Thomas anxiously advised when he saw that Shaun was not moving. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, hurry up and defend Sarah. Logan will be released if you don’t argue back.”
Mr. O’Neill saw this and said, “Mr. Lyons, I know you’re a famous legend in the legal world and have never lost, but as you said, lawyers also need to be conscientious. In terms of sophistry, I’m definitely inferior to you.
“However, there are many points of doubt in this case. Logan Law is just a young man who’s only 21 years old. If he ends up going to jail for this, he’d have missed the golden years of his life after he’s released. The most tragic thing is that he’s clearly a victim. He was drugged when he was in the cave. ”
When this remark was spoken, the audience was in a n uproar.
Shaun’s chest heaved. What Liam said suddenly flashed in his mind. The police were investigating the case, but he had not even given Cate a chance to clear her name.
His mind suddenly went blank.
His eyes subconsciously looked at Cate who was sitting in the audience, but she was not even looking at him. She was only focused on Mr. O’Neill.
His heart surged with an overwhelming sense of uncertainty and loss.
He had never felt this way before.
At that time, Mr. O’Neill spoke again, “This is the blood test report from the hospital. Logan Law was tested positive for drug addiction, but his blood composition showed that he had only taken drugs very, very few times. In other words, that day was most likely his first time, but he was injected with a strong drug that caused him hallucinations, which was why he assaulted Sarah Neeson.”
“Let me see. ” The judge reached out and took Mr. O’Neill’s report.
After Mr. O’Neill took a sip of water, he concluded, “
Actually, the sequence of events in this case is very simple. Logan Law ate the meal delivered to him by the delivery man in the apartment and fainted. Two people then brought him to the cave and drugged him. After waking up, Ms. Neeson was also there and he lost control.”
The judge looked at the pale Sarah. “ Plaintiff, do you still remember what happened in the cave at that time?”
Sarah’s brain was buzzing. She knew that with so much evidence, it would be difficult to convict Logan. Now, the most important thing was to clear their suspicions of her.
“I… I had also fainted, and when I woke up, I was in the cave. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Logan Law was trying to… take off my clothes.”
Thomas swore in anger, “In other words, Logan Law was trying to assault my sister!”
“Audience, be quiet! ” The judge gave Thomas a warning glare.
Sarah nearly vomited blood. Thomas never knew how to judge the situation. He would die because of his stupidity sooner or later.
Mr. O’Neill smiled. “As far as I know, Ms. Neeson and Logan Law are also somewhat involved.”
“We don’t have any connections. I don’t know him at all. Shaun, say something.” Sarah anxiously pulled on the silent Shaun.
Thomas also said, “Yeah, Eldest Young Master Lyons. If you lose this lawsuit, you’ll become a laughing stock.”
Shaun was distracted and tightened his fist. He was just about to open his mouth when Mr. O’Neill spoke first, “Mr. Lyons, in fact, this involvement is related to you. Do you want to hear it?”
“It’s related to me?” Shaun frowned subconsciously.
“Yes.” Mr. O’Neill nodded. “Logan Law is Miss Cate Cox’ bodyguard. As far as I know, you were dating Miss Cox until some days ago and Sarah Neeson is your ex-girlfriend. You caught Logan Law trying to assault Sarah Neeson red- handed, so you thought that it was Cate Cox who asked Logan Law to do it.
“Therefore, you flew into a rage and had a fierce conflict with Miss Cox. The two of you even broke up again. You went to Sarah Neeson, the victim, again out of guilt. At the same time, you decided in your heart that Cate Cox was a vicious woman not worthy of your love— ”
“What do you mean by that?” Sarah stood up in agitation. “ I was almost ruined by someone else, but you’re speaking as if I deliberately framed Logan Low. Please, look at my injuries. I almost died. If I had known that I would be vilified like this, I should never have let the doctor save me in the first place.”
“Sarah, calm down.” Thomas immediately grabbed her. “Don’t be rash. Your Honor, that’s simply impossible. My sister slammed her head on the wall to kill herself due to the unbearable humiliation. She would’ve died if she wasn’t sent to the hospital in time.”
“What a coincidence,” Mireya suddenly stood up and said loudly, “I remember that one of the witnesses is Chester Jewell, a world-famous doctor, right?
How could she have died?”
As soon as this remark was uttered, everyone began to look at Sarah differently.
Shaun’s brain felt like it was close to exploding.
A thought he had not dared to imagine flashed by.
What if all this was indeed deliberately planned by Sarah? Yes, she had attempted suicide at that time, but Chester was there. It was impossible that she would die.
However, not many women could plot such a ruthless scheme, right?
“That’s enough, stop talking! ” Sarah interrupted with a pained cry. “What you’re saying is that I framed Logan Law, but what about the evidence? Have you ever thought that if the people who came to save me at that time were even a minute later, I would’ve really been ruined? How many women would dare to sacrifice their innocence and gamble with their own bodies? You have no idea how much pain I’ve been in lately.”
She cried bitterly.
The judge frowned and looked at Mr. O’Neill warningly. “Do you have evidence for what you said?”
“I’m just guessing. After all, there needs to be a motive for Logan Law to be framed, but it’s certain that it was another person who kidnapped Ms. Neeson. Mr. Law is also a victim.”
The judge nodded. “I declare that Logan Law is not guilty of the crime. As for Sarah Neeson’s real kidnapper, I will hand these videos and information to the police to investigate the two suspicious people. In addition, after Logan Law’s injuries have healed, he’s to be sent to the drug rehabilitation center.”
After the court hearing, everyone was stunned.
Everyone could not believe that an unknown lawyer like Mr. O’Neill had defeated the industry legend, Shaun Lyons.
Mr. O’Neill was even more excited. “Miss Cox,
this is incredible! I actually defeated Shaun Lyons! Hahahaha, am I dreaming?”
“It’s not a dream, Mr. O’Neill. Thank you.” Cate was sincerely grateful.
“No, no, no, I know I didn’t do anything. It’s because you found all the evidence.” Mr. O’Neill laughed.
At the same time, Logan also limped over. His handsome and unruly face appeared emotional. “ Boss, there’s nothing else to say. I’ll live as your subordinate for the rest of my life. Even my ghost will belong to you.”
Austin laughed. “Yeah. The boss had less than three hours of sleep for five consecutive nights because of you.”
“Thank you.” Logan’s eyes were red.
