Chapter 898
Joseph pressed his sharp, thin lips together.
nbsp;
Joseph understood that as a lawyer, if he didn't speak up now, Megan would surely lose.
nbsp;
But the evidence laid out before him caused him to waver.
nbsp;
Seeing Joseph's hesitation, Nathan anxiously urged, "Mr. Hernandez, you need to argue now, or Spencer will be acquitted."
nbsp;
Thomas observed and said, "Mr. Hernandez, I know you are a legendary figure in the legal world, never having lost a case. But as you just mentioned, a lawyer must also have a conscience. When it comes to sophistry, I am certainly no match for you. nbsp;However, there are indeed many doubts about this case. Spencer is a living, breathing person, only twenty-one years old. If he is imprisoned for a few years, he will miss the prime of his life. The most tragic part is that he is clearly a victim. In fact, he was injected with drugs nbsp;while in the cave."
nbsp;
At these words, the courtroom erupted in an uproar.
nbsp;
Joseph's chest heaved violently, and Liam's words suddenly flashed through his mind. All the police were investigating this case, but he hadn't even given Cassie a chance to clear her name.
nbsp;
Joseph's mind went blank.
nbsp;
Instinctively, Joseph's gaze turned to Cassie, who was seated in the audience. She wasn't looking at him but was focused on Thomas.
nbsp;
A wave of confusion and helplessness surged in Joseph's heart.
nbsp;
He had never felt this way before.
nbsp;
At this moment, Thomas spoke again, "This is the hospital's blood test report. Spencer was found to be addicted to drugs, but the components in his blood indicate that he had used drugs very few times. This suggests that the day in question was likely his first time, and he was injected with a potent drug, causing severe hallucinations, which led him to assault Megan."
nbsp;
"Let me see that," the judge said, reaching out to take Thomas's report.
nbsp;
After taking a sip of water, Thomas summarized, "In fact, the sequence of events in this case is quite simple. Spencer had nbsp;takeout in his apartment and passed out. Two people then took him to the cave and injected him with drugs. When he woke up, Miss Ray was also there, causing him to lose control."
nbsp;
The judge looked at the pale-faced Megan. nbsp;"Plaintiff, do you remember what happened in the cave?"
nbsp;
Megan's mind was in turmoil. With so much evidence presented, she knew it would be difficult to convict Spencer. The urgent task was to clear her name.
nbsp;
"I... I was also knocked out and woke up in the cave. When I opened my eyes, I saw Spencer trying to... trying to take off my clothes," nbsp;she then stated.
nbsp;
Nathan angrily said, "In any case, Spencer was trying to assault my sister."
nbsp;
"Order in the court," the judge warned, glaring at Nathan.
nbsp;
Megan felt frustrated. Nathan never knew how to read the situation and would eventually suffer for his foolishness.
nbsp;
Thomas smiled and said, "As far as I know, Miss Ray and Spencer have some nbsp;shared nbsp;history."
nbsp;
"We have no beef. I don't even know him. Joseph, say something." Megan anxiously tugged at the suddenly silent Joseph.
nbsp;
Nathan added, "Exactly, Mr. Hernandez. If we lose this case, you'll be ridiculed."
nbsp;
Joseph clenched his fists in frustration. He was nbsp;just about to speak when Thomas interjected, "Mr. Hernandez, this history actually involves you. Would you like to hear it?"
