Chapter 689: 226: Sentenced to death!_2
 

At this moment, Maureen seemed to think of something and continued, “But what about the kitchen knife? I remember the police found Emperor Thompson’s fingerprint on the murder weapon. Is there more to the case?”

If Edward Thompson really had nothing to do with the case, why would his fingerprints be on the weapon?

Oliver Andrews explained, “Because the kitchen knife found at the scene wasn’t the real murder weapon. The real murder weapon was thrown away by Sylvia Thompson. The kitchen knife with Edward Thompson’s fingerprints was stolen by Sophie Cooper from Edward Thompson’s kitchen.”

“Oh my God!” Maureen Fitzell covered her mouth with both hands, unable to react.

Sylvia Thompson’s scheme was too huge!

After the police gathered all the evidence, Edward Thompson was released.

Edward Thompson wore a white t-shirt.

Walking out of the detention center and looking at the long-lost sunlight, Edward Thompson felt a lot of emotions.

Was he.

Dreaming?

Edward Thompson’s face was hard to read.

Recalling the past few days in the detention center, Edward Thompson secretly decided not to do anything illegal in the future.

He didn’t want to spend another minute in that kind of place!

Dark and hopeless.

Edward Thompson was not the only one released today.

But others had family members to welcome them.

Only Edward Thompson was alone.

A bitter expression appeared on Edward Thompson’s face.

He deserved it.

This was his retribution, and he accepted it.

Soon.

The day of Sylvia Thompson’s trial arrived.

The case involved many people and was heated on Facebook. The trial was live-streamed on the internet, attracting many reporters.

The jury area was packed with people.

Mrs. Thompson and Mary Perryne were also present.

According to Mrs. Thompson, she wanted to witness Sylvia Thompson being sentenced to death and receiving her retribution.

Since Sylvia Thompson almost caused Edward Thompson to go to prison, Mary Perryne naturally hated her as well.

Soon, the prosecutor, judge, and jury all arrived.

The judge banged the gavel and announced the opening of the court.

Sylvia Thompson was brought to the stage.

She wore a red vest, her hands handcuffed and her feet shackled with heavy chains. Each step took a great effort.

One step at a time.

This treatment was reserved for serious criminals.

Sylvia Thompson had already lost her former glory, her face pale and ashen. Looking at her once-familiar family members in the gallery, her eyes held no regret, only sarcasm.

They were the ones who pushed her to this point!

If the Thompson Clan had not driven her away, she would never have done such a thing.

And Edward Thompson.

Edward Thompson was simply disgusting.

He claimed to be willing to do anything for her, his sister, but when a crisis struck, he ran faster than anyone else.

If Edward Thompson really treated her as a sister, he would undoubtedly take responsibility for these crimes without hesitation.

She wouldn’t be in this terrible situation.

The more Sylvia thought about it, the angrier she became, her facial features nearly twisted.

At the same time.

On the live streaming platform.

[The trial has finally started! Honestly, I never understood why Sylvia Thompson became a suspect!]

[I’ve been looking forward to this day!]

[Ah! I see Emperor Thompson! He looks a lot worse.]

[I guess he’s scared? After all, he was detained for so many days.]

[To be honest, I never really believed Sylvia Thompson was the real killer, so today, I have to listen carefully. I want to see what evidence the prosecution can present!]

[We’ve prepared a petition signed by thousands of people!]

[Disgusting Capital!]

[Thank goodness for the live broadcast of the trial, otherwise, we wouldn’t know how she was framed.]

[I’m ready to record the broadcast!]

[If the capital uses underhanded tactics to frame her, we’ll unite and go to the International Court to vindicate her!]

[I’ve already looked up the process.]

At this moment.

Edward Thompson, the first witness, was called to the stand.

Lawyer Bush looked at Edward Thompson, “Mr. Edward Thompson, please recount what happened on August 18th.”

Edward Thompson looked at the judge and said, “Around 10:30 a.m. on August 18th, Sophie Cooper personally came to my house to invite me out for a late-night snack at 9 p.m. I arrived downstairs around 8:57.8 and she was already waiting for me. We hadn’t even left the neighborhood when she suddenly stopped and said she forgot her bag. She asked me to get it, and I didn’t have time to think too much about it, because in my eyes, she had always been a good sister. I didn’t expect that after I went upstairs, I smelled a strong smell of blood. Following the smell, I found James’s body.”
