Seton stood up from his seat: "Mrs. Levi—"

Megan sat on the witness stand and interrupted Seaton's words forcefully: "Ms. Levi, thank you."

Sidon choked up, and Kathy, who was sitting in the audience seat, laughed gloatingly, and whispered to Dino, "It seems that the defense lawyer hasn't learned Ms. Levi's methods."

Dino also smiled: "The defense has suffered a lot this time. Whoever asked them to issue a subpoena to Ms. Levi, this is their witness. [Note]..."

Because they were in the courtroom, they spoke in a very low voice, and they got close to each other so that they could hear clearly. The breath of Dino's laugh blew into Casey's ear, and Casey felt itchy, so he quickly sat upright and pretended to be serious Listen to the trial.

Dino glanced at Casey, not letting go of the reddish earlobes of the other party. He smiled and turned his eyes back to the court, but suppressed his smile in the next second.

Why did Casey obviously care about him, yet reject him so ruthlessly and directly?

He could see that Casey was trying hard to restore the relationship between them to a good partner who could support life and death. Rejection never happened the same.As for myself, I couldn't bear to push Casey too much, so these days passed so unclearly.

The irony was that it would have made him feel very thankful.

At this time, Sidon continued to ask questions again, pulling back Dino's thoughts.

"Okay, Ms. Levy," Seton corrected, "do you teach in the Ohio public?"

Megan looked ahead: "That was a long time ago."

Seton spread his hands: "Ms. Levi, I will take what you said just now as an admission."

"what ever."

"Next question," Seaton pointed to Flint who was sitting in the dock, "Have you ever served as the teacher in charge of the defendant, Flint Perry?"

Megan glanced at Flint slightly, and immediately moved away: "Yes."

"Did you abuse my client during your tenure?"

Megan looked at Sidon condescendingly, and uttered a word heavily: "No."

Sidon did not show a discouraged expression, but stretched out a finger: "Let's put it another way, during the entire period you taught Flint, did you often put him in confinement?"

Megan pulled out a sneer: "I have imprisoned countless people, isn't it normal for a teacher to imprison students?"

"But you put confinement for no reason or basis, and it's abnormal for one night!" Sidon snapped, "You don't realize how much you're doing to young children impact?"

Megan raised her hand indifferently: "Ask my students as you please, I have never had no reason or no basis," she emphasized the two nothings, "—the ones that shut down my students' confinement."

"Oh, that's interesting." Seton quickly found the loophole in her words, "It seems that you only treat my client differently."

Shen Lie raised his hand to signal the judge, and shouted objection: "Is this a problem for the defense?"

The judge was Judge Lambert who was hearing at the time. She nodded: "The objection is valid, and the jury will ignore the last sentence of the defense."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Sidon and warned: "Defense lawyer, you are not a new graduate, don't let me remind you."

Sidon bowed slightly to her: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

Then Seaton asked the next question: "Ms. Levi, have you copied dozens of copies of my client's diary and posted them on campus or even on the school forum?"

Megan's originally calm eyes finally had waves. She met Sidon's eyes and said, "That's because—"

"Yes, or not?" Seton interrupted her.

The corners of Megan's mouth were tense, and Shen Lie could see from her raised chin that she no longer wanted to say what she wanted to say: "Yes."

"Thank you, there are no other questions." Satisfied, Sidon smiled at the jury, turned around and returned to his seat, and said as he walked past Shen Lie, "It's your turn."

Shen Lie stood up and buttoned his suit. He didn't intend to ask questions. Firstly, these were all the truth, and he couldn't find any flowers if he asked again; secondly, he didn't want to defend Megan in court. Excuse me, he was extremely shameless towards Megan's behavior in his heart, although this could not be a reason for Flint's murder, but from the moment he stopped being a defense lawyer, he made up his mind not to say a false sentence in court again. talk.But judging from Megan's reaction just now, it was obvious that there was nothing to say.

Shen Lie walked in front of her and asked the question just now: "Ms. Levi, I noticed that when you were questioned by the defense lawyer just now, you seemed to have nothing to say. What do you want to say?"

Megan didn't want to say anything at all at this time, she was still so proud and indifferent, sitting on a chair that was a bit higher, she looked at Shen Lie: "I don't want to say anything."

Shen Lie didn't agree with her at all, and calmly cast his eyes on Judge Lambert: "Your Excellency, can you please order the witness to answer the question?"

Judge Lambert nodded and said to Megan: "The witness must answer this question. If you refuse to answer, this court can detain you for contempt of court."

Megan pressed her lips tightly, and Shen Lie urged: "Ms. Levi? The jury is waiting for you."

Megan exhaled, with a firm tone: "It's nothing, I just want to say he deserves it."

Seeing her expression and tone, Shen Lie knew it must be farting, so he raised the corners of his lips slightly mockingly: "Because Flint is gay? So you are homophobic?"

At this time, Sidon stood up: "Objection, does this have anything to do with the case?"

"The objection is valid." Judge Lambert gave Shen Lie a stern look. "Prosecutors, pay attention, the jury will ignore the last sentence."

Shen Lie no longer had the desire to ask any more questions, he said coldly that there is no question and returned to his seat.

At this time, the defense lawyer Seaton stood up and said to the judge: "Your Excellency, we request to call the next witness, the resident psychological assessor of the Homicide Division of the Manhattan Branch of the New York Police Department, Dr. Yuan Ning."

Shen Lie also stood up: "Sorry Your Excellency, Dr. Ning is my witness for the prosecution and is not subject to the defense's subpoena request."

Judge Lambert looked at them through the gap above his glasses. "When will the prosecution witnesses be ready?"

Shen Lie lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist: "It's already eleven o'clock, and we can get ready after the judge and the jury finish their lunch."

"Agreed, the court is adjourned now, and the resumption time is set at [-]:[-] pm." After speaking, Judge Lambert sounded the hammer without any doubt.
