Chapter 99: The Secret Rose (3)

Olga was pushed onto the witness stand by a bailiff.

After such a long period of recuperation, the plaster cast on her leg has been removed, and the fracture has healed well, but it will take a lot of time to complete a complete set of rehabilitation training and customize a suitable prosthesis for herself. At this time Of course, it is more convenient to sit in a wheelchair.

The episode before the witness's appearance caused a lot of pity eyes on her in the public gallery: Olga guessed that she was a poor unlucky person in the eyes of the bystanders and reporters sitting in the public gallery. He sacrificed one of his legs to save someone, and when he opened his eyes, he found that one of his good friends was alive or dead (with a high probability of death) and the other was on trial for murder.

-and she herself had to testify for the gentleman herself.

It was the first day of Herstal Amallet's trial, and the gallery was packed with jurists, criminal psychologists and newspaper reporters; it's likely that no one at all had real compassion for those who died or were seriously injured in the case No one is really fighting for a suspect who tried to murder a scum and went to jail.

The starting point of most people who pay attention to the trial is the desire to hunt for novelty, spying and judgment. There is no essential difference between watching the trial and watching Eskimos eat seals. The word "Westland pianist" is enough for them to be passionate and desperate squeezed into the scene of this trial.

Then, from their fingertips, press releases streamed to the Internet after every witness statement, and every word that came out of everyone's mouth was served on the banquet table, carefully plated, and actually read. People who don't care about the truth of the matter criticize, the news figures themselves are clowns dancing with the rhythm on the stage, and the bystanders are just the audience clapping their hands and laughing.

The bailiff parked the wheelchair in front of the Bible so she could put her hand on the cover and swear, saying the oath she had said hundreds of times in different courts. Although in all fairness, Olga himself would rather swear by Russell's "Principles of Mathematics" than by the "Bible". After all mathematics and logic would not fool her, but theology would.

"I swear to God," she said, holding up a hand, her voice still languid, while hundreds of people in the crowd below were staring at her sharply, "everything I've said is true."

Of course, Herstal Amalet was also watching her. Standing in the dock, he looked as calm and composed as he usually stands in the defense lawyer's position. Everyone knows how to make a good impression on juries and judges, but Herstal himself is one of them. In a three-piece charcoal gray suit, he looks more suitable for standing in some kind of court than a lawyer. Men's business clothing on the show floor. When Olga's eyes briefly fell on him, Herstal nodded, as if he didn't mind that Olga was present as a witness for the prosecution.

The prosecutor in this case is named Ingrid Musk, a black female prosecutor with a handsome facial line. She started the first part of the cross-examination in a regular manner: "What is your name and occupation?"

"My name is Olga Molose," Olga replied, "Visiting professor at Westland State University and consultant to WLPD on profiling."

The other party continued to ask: "When did you and Herstal Amallet meet?"

"When the Norman Brothers were killed," Olga replied fluently, she was not surprised that the prosecutor started from this point, "he was the family lawyer of the Norman Brothers, so he was also included in the WLPD The range of suspects. There were several murders surrounding him, the Norman Brothers case, the skull that was on his desk - I believe you have presented those files to your Honor and the jury. Yes, Ms. Musk--so, we were a little worried about his personal safety, so we kept in touch with him often, and gradually got to know him."
