Selena sat with her smile in front of the judge. All the members of Georgino's family smiled with satisfaction at the sight except for Hans who displayed an indecipherable look on his face. While the Jassons held back their cries to see Selena who will soon be in court.
“Selena..” Ogre Joe.
Alexandra couldn't do much to see it, their niece was guilty. And they don't know what to do because they're too late to destroy the evidence. Selena did not want to do anything to defend herself.
Selena turned her head and waved her hand to Leo and Daniel. The 2 men forced their smiles upon seeing the bright smiles of the women they loved.
“That girl has gone mad, she will be sentenced but she can still smile like that”.
“I'm very sure he's crazy” said Mr. chu. It's a harsh punishment because Selena has dared to make her son and daughter lose their lives.
The 46 lawyers Daniel and Leo have prepared are now just spectators. Selena refused to accept the prepared lawyer.
“Kakak..pardon me, I failed to protect your daughter” shrewdly Micle wiped away her tears.
Selena looked at the crying Alex, she stuck out her tongue mocking the crying man. Without realizing Alex chuckled at Selena who mocked him, the girl could still make fun of him at a time like this.
The atmosphere was instantly silent as the judge tapped the hammer 3 times.
“Is the defendant in good health and ready for trial?”
“Ya, your majesty”
“Selena Yunki Leonardo, 18 years old, a student at Royal University. Defendant, please pay attention to everything heard and seen in this trial”
“Good noble” replied Selena with her smile.
“Is the defendant accompanied by legal counsel?”
“I am not accompanied by a noble legal advisor. You can start my trial so as not to back off the time”
The chief judge frowned, this was the first time he had come across a defendant who looked so dejected during the hearing. Is it true that the report he received a few days ago?.
The judge also asked Selena to listen carefully to the charges to be read by the public prosecutor.
“Selena Yunki Leonardo is reported for the murder of 85 people, 2 of whom are young Miss Yolanda and young Lord Nath of the Chu” family
“Do the defendants understand this indictment?” ask judge.
“I understand it noble”
“Do the defendants want to object to this?”
“Same is not that noble at all, and can directly proceed to the stage of proof. Because I won't deny what you said”
Everyone in the room was immediately confused. Why did this girl in front of them speak as if there was no burden to her?.
“Good because no one raised objection, we can go directly to the proof stage”
The presiding judge allowed Selena to move from the examination seat to the defendant's seat located next to the legal counsel's right.
The presiding judge also asked the public prosecutor whether it was ready to present witnesses to the prosecution nodding his head to make the judge immediately order the prosecutor to bring witnesses one by one into the courtroom.
The public prosecutor said a name and direct duty brought a man into the courtroom as a witness. The man sat on the examination chair and looked fearfully at Selena who had been smiling since.
“Sa-my Jonas, my bodyguard from the Georgino” family residence
“Do witnesses know the defendant? Did the witness have a blood relationship with the defendant? Does the witness have a cooperative relationship with the defendant?” the chief judge began to ask the man.
“I beg the witness willing to take an oath in accordance with your religion that you do not tell lies in this trial”
The man was asked to stand a little ahead. The judge asked the man to follow the words of the oath he made.
“I swear that I will explain the truth and nothing else than the actual” the man followed the presiding judge's speech out loud.
Selena smiled sinisterly while looking coldly at the man. Want to play around with a killer like him? Heh, that man will be his next target but after one of the Georgino family members.
“Witness can return to sitting now”
The man sat back down, the presiding judge warning the man to give a true account of what he had experienced and what he had heard or seen.
“If the witness does not tell the truth, then the witness will be prosecuted for perjury” added the judge.
The presiding judge began to examine the man by asking questions relating to Selena's criminal conduct. Upon completion of the judge allowed the member judges, the public prosecutor, Selena, and general counsel to ask questions.
Everyone looked at each other, no one asked the man any questions including Selena. Seeing that no one asked the question, the judge began to show evidence to ascertain the truth related to this evidence.
The items include fingerprints, DNA tests, blood shirts, knives, iron rods, video footage, and a photograph.
The judge repeatedly asked Selena about the information given by Jonas but Selena just shook her head.
Georgino's family stiffens at the sight of Selena who has nothing to ask. I don't know why they have such a bad feeling about this.
“Say something dear..kumohon” inner Leo bit his lower lip. If his wife keeps silent and accepts this then surely, his wife will get her punishment.
The presiding judge told the public prosecutor whether there was any other evidence. The public prosecutor shook his head. Seeing that, the judge asked Selena to sit on the examination chair. Selena moved from the defendant's seat to the examination seat.
“I am in good health and able to continue this trial noble” Selena said when the judge was about to ask.
“I ask you to answer all the questions I submitted clearly and not convoluted” said the judge made Selena nod her head.
“Does the defendant recognize the beaver of this evidence?
“Yes, your majesty, those are the items I used to kill them. I tell you honestly, your majesty, I killed them.Using those items”.
Jasson's family members and even Daniel's friends who were present at the hearing shut their mouths in disbelief at Selena's response. It felt like it was impossible for Selena to do all that.
After the Selena examination is completed. But Selena cut off the judge's remarks as the presiding judge was about to speak to the public prosecutor to prepare a criminal complaint to be filed on the day of the next hearing.
“Yes noble, can I submit 1 request?”
“What is it?”
“I want, my trial..settled today also”
Everyone in the room was immediately shocked without exception. Selena asked for the trial to be settled today as well?! That can't be happening!.
“Tell us the reason why you asked for it”
“Because, if you do the next trial I am worried.I will be a fugitive for escaping from prison in the middle of the night. And I am also afraid if you continue my trial on another day, then.I make sure, not me who sits in this chair” Selena said as she looked at Yeni.
Hearing that made everyone stare at each other, Selena was able to kill 85 people. They were sure, Selena's words were not a joke.
“Because, you asked for that. We will discuss it first” said the presiding judge.
The presiding judge goes with the member judges, the general counsel, and the public prosecutor.
Seeing this, Leo and Daniel rushed to Selena. Leo hugged his wife tightly, Selena smiled and returned her husband's close embrace.
“Talk honestly to the judge, you don't want my lawyer, do you? At least be a lawyer for yourself” Leo whispered softly in his wife's ear.
“I'll be fine, I promise you. I will not leave you alone” Selena kissed her husband on the cheek.
“Heh, still hope you will survive your punishment?” cynical Yeni.
“Do not talk ma” cold Hans.
“Do not interfere with Mama Hans” replied Yeni.
“Mrs Georgino! Hold my word, maybe you're a prosecutor now and I'm a defendant. But believe! In the future! I will make you who are in my position with all the demands that I will issue! And I make sure! You will be sentenced to death! And I make sure too! All members of Georgino's family will get their punishment too! You can hold my word! Because I'm not joking now!” aloud Selena with a smile at the end she said.
Yeni instantly clenched her hand, that unlucky lady*n. That woman could have threatened him with this kind of trial.
Not long after the judge returned with his members.
“Alright, because the defendant asked for the trial to be completed today as well, then the second trial will start later at noon” said the judge tapped the hammer 3 times.
Selena smiled full of satisfaction looking at Georgino's family. Yeni clenched her hand\, damn*n! He wants the woman in jail! But why did the judge decide to directly settle the trial today as well?! Damn*n!.
“And also because the defendant in pregnancy, then the family can take him away and back when the trial will begin”
