Wine and Gun

(In the brightly lit studio, Talia Stoker is sitting on a couch in the center of the studio, wearing a blue dress. Beside her sits a serious man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses.)

Thalia: The high-profile Kabbah Slade trial has entered its second day. According to the evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense, it is very likely that the jury will reach a final verdict this afternoon. . Today, our special talk show features Mr. Oscar Solmia, a professor at Westland State University School of Law, to give us some of his insights on the case.

Oscar: Hello everyone.

Talia: Mr. Solmia, what do you think will be the focus of today's confrontation between the prosecution and the defense?

Oscar: Actually, the evidence presented to the court by both parties in this case is generally not much. The large amount of evidence found in the Sequoia Manor and the building where the victim was imprisoned could actually be used to convict Rowan, but this person has already reached an agreement. Plea agreement. As far as I know, the police found very little evidence in this case that could be used to convict Slade. The two sides had already questioned most of the witnesses in the trial yesterday. The stage in which physical evidence is presented to the jury.

Talia: And you don't think the prosecution will release any strong physical evidence, do you?

Oscar: At least the news that came out of the pre-trial hearing shows that it is true, but it does not rule out the possibility that the prosecution will present new evidence on the spot. In fact, the same is true for the defense in this regard: we all know that the worst thing for Slade is that even if there is no direct evidence that he was at Sequoia Manor at the time of those qiángjian cases, there is also no evidence that A strong alibi - he lives alone and doesn't like to interact with others, and no one can prove that he was not there when Rowan committed a series of crimes. It can also be said that this is by far the most favorable point for the prosecution: Slade had no alibi and that he was in the building where the victim was being held when he was arrested, and the jury had What kind of tendency is self-evident.

Thalia: So who do you think will be the technical witnesses who can play an important role today, in addition to physical evidence? ——In the many articles you have published recently, you have stated that technical witnesses will play an important role in this case.

Oscar: The defense's lawyer team reportedly denied the legitimacy of some of the evidence in the pretrial hearing on the grounds that the evidence collection process did not conform to the norm. Although there are no rumors about what that part of the evidence is, it is certain that It is very important evidence for the prosecution. We can take a wild guess that technical witnesses on the CSI side are not a concern for Slade's legal team now - in fact, I think the technical witness who played a key role in this trial should be the forensic doctor.

Thalia: Forensic?

Oscar: Yes. The prosecutor's office indicted Slade on a number of counts, in addition to accusing him of taking part in the kidnapping and making and selling cases, but also accusing him of taking underage children. Since the prosecutors dare to make such accusations, it means that they must have some evidence in their hands. In yesterday's trial, all the underage witnesses have testified, and no one can testify for Slade's qiángjian behavior, so the most likely possibility is that they found clues on the corpse before the case.

Thalia: So, as long as the prosecution can prove that Stryde did have one of the children, he will be convicted.

Oscar: Exactly. Because as long as he succumbed to one of the victims, it would be difficult to say that he was completely ignorant of the whole thing. I believe that if this part of the charge stands, his other charges will probably be found by the jury as well.

Thalia: I see what you mean. So the key point is the autopsy report and the technical witnesses from the Forensic Bureau.

Oscar: It's quite possible to say that -- the key point is Albarino Bacchus, the chief medical examiner, who is due to appear in court today.

(Prosecution presents evidence to jury: two surveillance footage)

HARDY: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Your Honor, here is some footage of the streets of Saumur from the ten days before Midaron Pullman was kidnapped—on December 1 of last year.

(The first video: Midalen was walking down the street with a backpack. The time showed that it was the early morning of December 1, and a person was casually stalked ten meters behind him.)

Hardy: Here's the footage from a surveillance camera two blocks away from the school that morning when Midaren went to school, and you can see a man following him -- we can provide the court with the full video, which lasts as long as Fifteen minutes later, the footage showed the man following Midaren from Forbes Street, following him until he entered the school. Through technical processing, we can clearly see the face of this stalker——

(The prosecution showed the jury a clearly processed screenshot of the video: Behind Midalun was a middle-aged man in a trench coat and a woolen hat, with a slightly fat body and a very familiar profile.)

Hardy: Obviously, the stalker is Mr. Kabbah Slade. Ten days before Midalen was kidnapped, this Mr. Slade suddenly appeared in Saumur Town, far away from Sequoia Manor, and followed Midalen for fifteen minutes? Obviously this can't be a coincidence.
