Willie did not hesitate to apply for an investigation warrant to search Turner's house again. Unfortunately, more than a dozen police officers searched the entire house and even used metal detectors, but they did not find a second weapon in the house.

After the news broke the news, Francis had already held his first live one-on-one public debate with his opponent.

Although Francis appeared to be less proficient in economics than his opponents in the debate, his advantage in the early stage allowed him to get 65% of the approval rate.

And as the date of the third trial was getting closer, and no new evidence could be found, even the Donkey Party almost gave up any hope.

Fortunately, any lawsuit can always be found to be inappropriate. Before the trial, Willie used the reason that Turner's wife was still alive.

Applying to the court to replace the previous prosecution's intentional murder charge against Turner with attempted murder, in order to postpone the trial time of the case.

Whether the judge is willing or not, since the prosecution raised objections, at least they have to continue the discussion to determine whether to reopen the case.

This delay, no one really knows how long.

All of a sudden, the attitudes of the elephant and the donkey changed 180 degrees.

Before the trial, the elephant tried its best to delay the trial time, and the donkey tried every means, forcing the case to start the trial within only one week.

This also caused many uncertain factors in the case to be determined, so the trial was rushed.

Now the attitudes of the two parties have been reversed. The elephant is eager to close the case, while the donkey is doing everything possible to delay the case.

Otherwise, according to the principle that a case or a crime cannot be re-convicted according to the law of the United States, even if evidence is found in the future, Turner will not be convicted.

But no matter how long the donkey party procrastinates, new evidence must be found in the end. The most direct and powerful evidence is of course the pistol that shot the female victim.

Otherwise, there is no direct evidence. Even if Willie finds a video of Turner going to the hotel where his wife and Erwin had a tryst on the afternoon of the murder, it cannot prove that it is directly related to his murder.

It can only prove that Turner did find out that his wife was having an affair with someone else, so he had a motive for killing, but the problem has returned to the original point, where is the murder weapon?

Besides, the video images of this era, it is conceivable that they will not be very good.

Combined with the fact that Turner was wearing a bonnet with the brim covering half of his face, the judge would most likely not accept this evidence.

After several days of internal debate in the court, it was finally decided that Turner should be acquitted because of the fact that since the intentional murder was established, there was no need for a retrial for the attempted murder of the lower charge.

Everyone actually knows that Turner is the murderer of his wife, but the law is like this, everything is about evidence and procedures.

Otherwise, in various cases in the United States in the future, there will inevitably be a large number of police officers ignoring procedures, collecting evidence at will, and even providing false evidence to save trouble.

When Turner triumphantly left the court under the **** of lawyers and bodyguards, Li Changheng had already flown back to the mainland.

But the trenches appeared in front of Turner, "Mr. Wood, my boss asked me to tell you that he has a very interesting story that he wants to write into a script and give it to United Artists to make a movie."

Turner didn't know the trenches, but the lawyer he hired whispered something in his ear, and Turner frowned and thought.

Fortunately, Li Changheng is considered Francis' biggest benefactor, and he will not and cannot trouble Francis at this time.

Turner smiled and said to the trench, "Are you interested in having a drink?"

Trench smiled and nodded, "How about we have dinner with Mr. Francis Wood in Delaware tomorrow afternoon?"

Turner narrowed his eyes, but there was nothing he could do about the trenches.

After all, this guy is just Henry Lee's subordinate. Even if he can deal with it, or even kill the trench, Henry Lee behind him is still an insurmountable, even suffocating mountain.

-----

At 7 o'clock the next night, in a restaurant in New Castle County, Delaware, Francis had just finished his public speech in the afternoon, and he had to take his wife to feel that he was here to meet his own father, and there must be the trench represented by Li Changheng.

The atmosphere of the conversation was very good at the beginning. After all, Li Changheng is the biggest supporter of Francis, and everyone can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms of the front.

But the Wood family understands that the purpose of Trenches coming here is most likely to set conditions.

And it may be a condition that Francis cannot agree to, so Turner is used to threaten.

Teng Hao also understood his position, and only after the main course was served did he begin to narrate the story Li Changheng told himself.

The story is roughly the same as Turner's. A young and beautiful wife can't bear her old and frail husband, and finally finds a policeman as a lover.

But this matter was discovered by the husband for some unknown reason.

After investigating and confirming that his wife had betrayed him, the husband began to plan revenge.

One day, while he was swimming and playing in the swimming pool of a hotel with his wife and lover, he sneaked into the guest room on top of them.

A pistol of the same model that had never been fired was exchanged for the policeman's pistol.

Then that night when his wife came home, he shot his wife.

The policeman was quickly notified by his colleagues and came outside the scene.

Because the murderer rejected several negotiating experts several times in a row, finally the man who was a police inspector volunteered to try it.

Unexpectedly, the murderer, who had a strong attitude before, actually agreed to the negotiation this time.

But when the negotiator asked him to lay down his arms, he also asked the negotiator to lay down his arms.

When the expert found out that the wife who was shot dead was his lover, how could he remain calm.

I ran over and knelt on the ground to check.

But what no one knew was that the murderer had picked up the gun in his hand, walked to the door, and exchanged it with the gun put down by the negotiator.

In other words, the murder gun was holstered by the negotiator and taken away from the murder scene.

The unfired pistol was taken away by the police as a murder weapon.

After listening to this story~lightnovelpub.net~ Francis and Claire looked at Turner in surprise, and the old guy said with a smile, "This story sounds very good, but since the lover is a policeman.

How could he not know his gun?

Also, since the murderer fired, it means that there are no bullets in the gun. An experienced shooter can judge the problem by relying on this. "

Teng shrugged, "How much does that lover know about his own gun, we can't be sure now. But the problem of shooting without missing bullets is very simple.

If you only need to put a bullet in the chamber first, and then load the clip, there will be no shortage of bullets in the clip after the shot is fired.

Turner Wood suddenly fell silent.

Both Francis Wood and Claire understood that this was probably the way their own father and father-in-law killed their wives.
