My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1172 - 1173: All the Evidence Laid Out Before You

The judge watched as the ranting elderly man was led away before he pressed his chest and said, "Since we’ve opted for an open trial, we are committed to fairness and impartiality, not to the idea that the weaker party is automatically in the right. Vulnerable people can’t just use their vulnerability to justify their actions. Moreover, in determining whether a crime was committed, it’s not about whether you succeeded."

"You try to kill someone with a knife, and even if you don’t succeed, it doesn’t mean you aren’t guilty of attempted murder. Also, if during the act of assaulting someone with a kitchen knife, you accidentally drop it on your own foot, it doesn’t mean you transform from the aggressor to the victim. Such logic doesn’t exist in this world! If everyone judged right and wrong this way, society would be in chaos."

After finishing, he then sternly added, "This is just my personal perspective. That’s all I have to say. Now, let’s continue with the trial. I hope the family of the defendant can remain calm. This is a courtroom, not a place for throwing tantrums. If you behave this way, I will have no choice but to have our staff take you to the next room to calm down until you’re ready to return!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Jiang Meiqi’s chest noticeably heaved with anger, but the judge was obviously upset and she dared not continue causing a scene, fearing that her actions might lead to a harsher sentence for Rong Weiwei.

Her complexion turned pale under the bright trial lights as she uneasily sat down.

Her hands tightened into fists, gripped tightly together.

The trial continued.

Several thugs consistently identified that Rong Weiwei had paid them to harass Rong Yan.

Besides witnesses, the prosecution also presented video evidence. With the judge’s permission, the video was played in court.

In the video, Rong Weiwei, dressed in a beautiful outfit, discreetly dropped a pill into a cocktail. The pill dissolved in the drink until it became invisible, and only then did she carry the drink to offer it to Rong Yan.

After enhancing the video quality, her action of dropping the pill was clear and undeniable, an act she couldn’t rationalize no matter how much she tried.

After the video finished, the judge looked at her seriously and asked, "Defendant, the prosecution has presented their evidence. Do you have anything to say now?"

Rong Weiwei’s face was pale, and like Jiang Meiqi, fine lines were visible at the corners of her eyes, far from her previous grand socialite demeanor. Trembling uncontrollably and biting her lip, she tried to make one last struggle, "The pill I put in was for sobering up, not what you think. I added it because I was worried my sister couldn’t handle her liquor. It was supposed to be a kind gesture."

The judge stared coldly at her, then suddenly said, "On this point, the prosecution has already consulted Shi Mufeng, Mr. Shi, who attended the party with you. He honestly admitted that you confessed to him afterward that you drugged the plaintiff out of jealousy, without his knowledge."

Rong Weiwei snapped her head up, glaring fiercely at the judge, "Impossible! You’re lying to me! How could he possibly say that?"

A member of the prosecution stood up, handling things by the book, and said to her, "Ms. Rong Weiwei, please control your emotions and try not to get too excited. Mr. Shi Mufeng has cooperated with the prosecution because he feels guilty towards Miss Rong and, as compensation, he provided us with a recording of your last meeting where you personally admitted to your crime."

"I don’t believe it!" Rong Weiwei’s vision darkened, almost feeling the world spin, as she clenched the railing of the defendant’s dock tightly, her eyes wide open as if ready to pop out.
