Chapter 345

Armalite: …Okay. (Pauses) I see. (Pauses) So, you didn't meet Kaba Stryder on your two trips to Sequoia Manor, did you?

Witness 1: Yes.

Armalite: And what about Rowan?

Witness 1: Both times the guards covered my head and stuffed me into the trunk of the car to take me to Sequoia Manor. Mr. Rowan was waiting for us at the manor. When I was led up the steps of the manor, I could hear him. sound.

Armalite: You mean, you can't testify that anyone other than Rowan, including Mr. Slade, was at the scene of the crime when the club members at Sequoia Manor were abusing children, right?

Witness 1: …Yes.

Armalite: Your Honor, I have no further questions.

The difficulty in this case is that the police have no direct evidence that Kabbah Slade was involved in the crime at Sequoia Manor—either he was a very careful criminal, or he was innocent.

Before the Prosecutor's Office indicted Slade on multiple counts of kidnapping, child sexual assault, manufacturing and selling, and false imprisonment, the WLPD and local forensic lab personnel conducted a heavy-duty forensics operation; so far , the definite fact is: there is no personal evidence that can prove that Slade was involved in the above crimes related to children. He may indeed organize some illegal selling activities in Sequoia Manor, but according to his own Testimony that all crimes related to those villain victims were committed "without his knowledge" by his secretary Rowan.

Bystanders who don't know much about the case may find the indictment to sound bizarre because they ignore many of the details of the case: all the proceeds from the detention of the children were paid by Rowan himself, and the suburbs paid for it. The lease contract for the building where Yu was imprisoned was also in Rowan's name, and all the thugs arrested at the crime scene unanimously confessed that Rowan himself was the boss who hired them.

Given that the evidence that the prosecution can produce at present is only the ambiguous testimony of a few witnesses, it is suspected that there are other masterminds in the crime of Sequoia Manor besides Rowan, but they are undoubtedly not conclusive evidence - the prosecution is still trying in this regard. Do their best, but so far, the effort just seems like a futile struggle.

Because on the other hand, even Rowan himself has confessed to his crimes. He had reached a plea deal with the prosecutor's office before the Slade case, and in his testimony admitted he was "blinded by desire" and was the sole master of the horrific case at Sequoia Manor messenger. He admitted that he had made arrangements with certain club members at the estate (though he refused to confide their names) to secretly provide these members with children to "play" under the omissions of Stryder's management.

According to the rights granted to Rowan by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, he is completely exempt from appearing as a witness in the Slade case, but the information we have obtained so far is that Rowan will also appear as a defense witness in the trial. This proves Slade's innocence.

Although the current mainstream view is that Rowan did this to punish his boss, there must be many secret exchanges between them that cannot be discussed on the table. But no doubt, assuming Rowan makes such a guilty plea, the degree of sway over the jury's decision is absolutely enormous. Perhaps, despite the efforts of the prosecutor's office, Slade himself was convicted at best of something like harboring a criminal.

Many people may feel very disappointed with the outcome that we can all foresee in this case, which is also the fundamental reason for the frequent demonstrations in Westland recently. No reasonable person would think Kabbah Slade was innocent after this case, but based on the evidence alone, he cannot be "absolutely" guilty, and in the absence of 100% certainty of this. circumstances, a jury cannot easily deprive a person of his life and liberty.

At this moment, we do not need to spend another time discussing "suspicious guilt" or "procedural justice". The Slade case judgment will be the inevitable conclusion of a flawed legal process, and it is also the legal An inevitable consequence of protecting the rights and interests of the majority.

Hardy: Please tell us your name.

Witness 2: Natalie Milkoff.

Hardy: Ms. Milkoff, what do you do?

Witness 2: I run a nightclub on the East Side, um, or a bar, and it doesn't make any difference -- (pauses, tone nervously) The perfectly legal kind.

Hardy: Do you know the man in the picture?

(Walise Hardy shows witnesses a picture of a man with a tattoo on his face)

Witness 2: Yes, his name is Michael, and he's a...security guard at my bar. (Pauses) Yeah, because everybody knows the East End is pretty bad, so I had to hire some people to keep the bar in order.

Hardy: Is that the only job he does?

Witness 2: More than that. He seems to like gambling in private and makes his life very hard... Because my bar has a shift system for them, so he doesn't work every day - he sometimes works with other people on weekends, I Asked once before, he said he was going to the Sequoia Manor on the outskirts to "see the scene".
