Sentenced to death... He was sentenced to death? Jeffrey's mind felt like it had been struck by a massive explosion. He couldn't hear what Steven was saying next, and he didn't want to either.
He grabbed onto the railing and shouted hysterically, "How could | be sentenced to death? I'm not a citizen of your country! Are you bullyingbecause | don't understand the law? "Even if I'm sentenced to death, it shouldn't be by you. I should be deported back to my country and be judged by my country's court! You can't sentenceto death!" Steven glanced at Jeffrey's pale and sinister face with a faint smile, then coldly raised his voice. "You're talking toabout the law? Okay, I'll give you a simple lesson in law, then.

Jeffrey, what qualifications do you think you have to enjoy this right? "Furthermore, foreigners who commit crimes within our country are subject to our country's laws, equal to our citizens. However, sforeigners who enjoy diplomatic immunity may be given a chance of survival. But Jeffrey, you're clearly not one of them." Jeffrey trembled. "No, that's not possible." "Also, the Tsulu Embassy contacted us after the trial this morning. They said they wouldn't interfere in your case and gave us full rights over it. Since you don't enjoy diplomatic immunity, according to the principle of jurisdiction, our court has the right to judge you according to the law.
"Now, you're convicted of first-degree murder, so we can lawfully sentence you to death." "I did kill, but Sophia threatened me! | was forced!" Jeffrey glared fiercely at Sophia. "I was just an secomptic Bopha is the mastermind! She manipulated me. She should be the one sentenced to death!" Sophia stared at Jeffrey with bloodshot eyes and spat rudely at his face.
Although the occasion was inappropriate, the Taylors almost burst out laughing when they saw Sophia's frenzied demeanor. It starkly contrasted her former dignified and elegant persona as the wife of a wealthy tycoon.
"She has quite a good mentality. Even at this point, she's still acting arrogantly." Alyssa squinted her eyes.
"If not, how could she be a villain?" Smirking, Jasper stared at the two sinners arguing with cold eyes.
"Let her be mad. It's probably the last tin her life." Sophia and Jeffrey were about to start fighting, but fortunately, the court officers subdued them in time. Steven's eyes were filled with disgust. After so many years in this profession, he had seen all sorts of rampant, evil, and sick criminals. But these two were definitely among the worst, making him so annoyed that he wanted to throw the gavel at them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Now, I'll announce the trial result of the defendant Sophia Kirkman for the cases of contract killing and first- degree murder." Sophia stopped entangling with Jeffrey and instead stared fixedly at the judge. Her reddened eyeballs seemed to want to pop out of their sockets.
In a daze, besides the smell of rust, she also smelled a nauseating odor of decay.
It was like a dead animal had been buried under her feet for a long time. Ominous odors rose in waves, wrapping around her tightly.
She crinkled her nose, sniffing around like a dog, searching for the source of the smell.
"After trial and investigation, it's confirmed that Sophia Kirkman tried to cover up the truth of her murder of Anne Bartley 20 years ago by hiring Jeffrey Snyder to cruelly kill Nina Carle to silence her. Her methods were extremely brutal, and the nature of the case was extremely vile.
"Therefore, the High Court of Solana City has decided to sentence the defendant Sophia Kirkman to 30 years in prison for solicitation of murder and contract killing." Steven's tone was even colder and more solemn when announcing the sentence this tcompared to when he was dealing with Jeffrey.
Sophia shuddered all over. Would she still be alive after 30 years?
