Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 320

A month later, the police referred Scarlett’s case to the prosecutor’s office. With that, the prosecutor’s office was put in charge of examining and prosecuting the suspect.

Layla put in a great deal of effort and used many connections. Finally, a businessman whose surname was Dixon came forward and acted as an intermediary for her. He helped Layla contact a lawyer with the surname Dunn, and this lawyer had just come back from overseas a year ago.

Although David Dunn was not as well-known as the other lawyers Layla had contacted, nor did he have a perfect record of winning cases since returning to the country, he still managed to secure the best outcome for his clients in the cases he had taken up.

The evidence for Scarlett’s case had already formed a closed loop, so it was hard for David to clear Christopher’s name without new key evidence.

The trial commenced at the end of the year.

David asked the court to take into account that this was Christopher’s first offense and the fact that he took remedial measures, called an ambulance, and called the police on his own initiative after the murder. In addition, there was no trace of violence at the scene. Except for the wound that killed Scarlett, there were no other signs of trauma on her body. Therefore, David claimed that Scarlett had died due to Christopher’s negligence and that he should be given a lighter

sentence.

However, the prosecutor argued that Christopher did not call the emergency services immediately, so there was suspicion that he intentionally caused the death of the victim. It was voluntary manslaughter, so Christopher should be sentenced according to the said crime. Coupled with the fact that Christopher had a tendency to violence in the past, the prosecutor proposed that he should be severely sentenced.

The prosecutor and defense debated back and forth several times. Finally, the court found Christopher guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced him to four years.

By the time the case ended, it was already the end of the spring season of the following year.

After Yuliana and Christopher divorced, she settled all her affairs in Juxshire and went to Jeahron with Rowan.

On the day of the announcement of the trial verdict, Yuliana and Rowan were basking in the sun in their yard.

Rowan had just turned one. Perhaps it was due to his premature birth, compared to other one-year-old children, Rowan’s ability to speak developed much later.
