Wine and Gun

"Then what exactly are you here for?" Herstal asked directly.

"Convey the truth." Olga laughed loudly, she raised her hand, and threw a photo in her hand on the table in front of Herstal. As Herstal looked down at the photo, she said, "Theoretically, you've never seen this photo, and I've never said the following. But anyway—"

Herstal bowed his head: the picture in front of him was half an apple lying between dry grains of wheat, with a bloody eyeball embedded in the apple.

"You should remember that I told you that the gardener's hobby has room to change, he has the power to stop himself." Olga narrated in a calm voice, "and now, his criminal pattern has changed. ."

"Let's start reading the charges, the State of Westland charges Herstal Armalite with the following crimes: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, instigating perjury, unlawful possession of a firearm, assault on a police officer . . . "

"...How do you plan to defend against the above crimes?"

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you want to die now?

Herstal Amalet stood in the dock and felt a thousand eyes on his face. Photographs and videos were still banned from the pretrial hearing, but countless reporters sat down, always ready to spread any breaking news online, including Leohard Schreiber's beaming face.

Will's mission is over, and so is the pianist's.

After a moment, Herstal spoke slowly.

He has the power to stop himself. Albarino, stop.

"I confess to killing Albarino Bacchus, but not on purpose," he said slowly, glancing calmly over the judge, the clerk, and the jury, "and for anything about Kabbah Slade. Allegation, I think..."

Countless pairs of eyes stared at him, waiting for the word to come out of his lips. Olga Molozze was still smiling, as if watching a play.

And now, his criminal pattern has changed.

"Not guilty."

Things are going where I don't expect - things are going where a lot of people don't expect - before Herstal Armalite's pre-trial hearing, we thought he was going to have a plea jiāo Yi, that is, admitting to two premeditated murders in exchange for the chance to escape the death penalty by pleading guilty.

But he didn't do that, and despite the WLPD's good secrecy measures, some gossip was circulating while Armalette was in custody. The sources noted that Armalette did not cooperate with the interrogation, did not admit anything related to Slade's murder, or the location where Dr. Bacchus' body was thrown. So we all assumed he was going to plead not guilty: neither admitting that he had hurt Slade as first-degree murder, nor admitting that he killed Albarino Bacchus.

In fact, the latter item has much room for manipulation. The police admitted at the WLPD press conference that they did not find the body or the murder weapon, but only found a lot of blood at Amarette's home. I guess it's easier to say that Armalette is an innocent man than that Slade is innocent - and Herstal Armalette could even exonerate Slade.

But neither did Armalite.

The prosecutor's office charged Herstal with first-degree murder of Slade, second-degree murder and manslaughter of Albarino Bacchus. Obviously, they also had doubts about whether the second-degree murder charge could be convicted, so they chose to use a manslaughter charge as a second-degree murder in case the second-degree murder was not convicted.

This series of choices made by the prosecutors is in line with the speculation of major media in the early stage. When the testimony was read out in court, the audience did not make any waves until Amarette made her own defense.

I think that's pretty dramatic, because everyone's guesses are partly right, and everyone's guesses aren't entirely right: Armalette's line of defense is that he admits that he killed Dr. Bacchus, but thinks it The act constitutes manslaughter; and he pleads not guilty to first-degree murder charges against Slade.

Every point of this line of defense is incomprehensible: Why on earth would Armalette admit to manslaughter? The police couldn't find his murder weapon or the body. He insisted that he didn't know anything about it. The case might be closed with insufficient evidence, so why did he have to admit that he killed Dr. Bacchus?

Furthermore, even if he wanted to admit it, why didn't he make a defense before suing? That way he wouldn't have to go to court for Dr. Bucks-related charges. He acted so oddly, as oddly as if he was going to plead guilty, only to start an innocence plea in court on a whim.

And I can't imagine how exactly he was going to plead for the murder of Slade, he did enter the hotel where the victim was staying with a gun in preparation, and stunned the door in a very methodical way. Guards - This behavior is indisputable attempted first-degree murder by any means, and since Slade was under FBI protection at the time, it was downright egregious.
