Sophia believed that she would survive her 30-year sentence. But did she really
have to serve a full 30 years in prison?
She might be released in about ten years if she kept appealing, pretended to
behave well, and did some under-the-table operations.
Sophia felt that she still had a chance. However, the next moment, the small
flame of hope that had just ignited in her heart was ruthlessly extinguished.
"Furthermore, in the case of Anne Bartley's fatal fall 20 years ago, the evidence
is conclusive, and the defendant, Sophia Kirkman, has pleaded guilty in court.
"However, she had an ample motive and premeditated the crime. Throughout the
past 20 years, she has had no inclination to turn herself in. To conceal her crime,
she bribed and intimidated witnesses and destroyed evidence. Her crimes are
even more heinous than those of Jeffrey Snyder.”
As Steven spoke, his voice grew louder. A faint redness appeared in his sharp
eyes behind his glasses.
"Hence, the defendant Sophia Kirkman is sentenced to death for solicitation of
murder, first-degree murder, destruction of evidence, and witness tampering. Her
voting rights are revoked for life, and all personal property is confiscated."
A thunderous boom sounded in Sophia's mind. She felt like a towering mountain
had collapsed and crushed her. At once, she collapsed to the ground.
Sentenced to death... She had received the death sentence.
In front of her were only despair and a frightening, pitch-black darkness. She
even extended her hands and scratched herself a few times, as if she had truly
lost her sight.
Steven pronounced the verdict with clarity, leaving everyone stunned.
Colene was so thrilled in the public gallery that she nearly couldn't resist
shouting. Meanwhile, Lyla and Tatiana embraced each other, shedding tears of
joy. Even Mandy, who had always been composed, discreetly wiped away tears
at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Cyrus tightly clenched his trembling hands on his knees while Jonah heaved a
sigh of relief, sporting a satisfied smile.
At that moment, Jonah's phone vibrated in his pocket.
Jonah took it out and glanced at it. When he saw that it was a message from
Julien, his heart skipped a beat. He lightly tapped the WhatsApp conversation
box.
"The old witch has finally been sentenced! Congratulations!
Smiling, Jonah replied briefly, "Thank you."
Julien: "Mr. Jonah, how are you going to reward me? Hmm?
Jonah: "Why should I reward you? You didn't help."
Julien: "Who said I didn't? I've been watching the livestream of the court since
this morning, and I've been cursing at Sophia the whole time. I cursed so much
that my fingers were about to break! That's an effort, too."
A few seconds passed.
Julien: "Why aren't you replying?"
Jonah: "I did. My silence is the reply."
Julien: "Damn it! You're really something, Jonah! Fine!"
Jonah chuckled lightly and replied, "What reward do you want?"
