thousands of rounds worth of counter arguments.
After many
legal battles in the courthouse,
The Jury came to a final
conclusion.

The
key evidence that influenced the final decision:
Eye-Witness,
Housemaid Siti.

[PROSECUTOR]
“Hello
Miss Siti. On the day of the murder, May 22, 2015, what was the
family doing in the early morning?”
[SITI]
“I
remember, Mrs. Sui-Fan took her younger daughter and son to school.
After she dropped them off, she came back home to have breakfast.
Around 10:00 AM, Mrs. Sui-Fan went upstairs to rest.”
[PROSECUTOR]
“And
Lily? What was she doing? Didn’t she have school too?”
[SITI]
“Lily’s
school was closed for a holiday, so she was at home with her parents.
I recall when Mr. Gum-San was heading out, he specifically told Lily
to stay home and do her homework. Don’t go anywhere else, he said.”
[PROSECUTOR]
“What
time did Dr. Gum-San exit the house? Did you see him leave?”
[SITI]
“Mr.
Gum-San left the house around noon. I did not personally see him
leave, as I was busy doing house chores. But I heard his car going
away from the driveway.”
[PROSECUTOR]
“Then
what time did Sui-Fan and Lily leave the house? Did they bring
anything?”
[SITI]
“Around
2:00 PM, Mrs. Sui-Fan was heading out to pick up her younger daughter
and son. Lily was bored, so she decided to follow her mother to pick
up her siblings. It was raining at the time as they were leaving the
front door. I asked ‘Madam, do you need an umbrella?’. Mrs.
Sui-Fan said ‘No, Siti, it’s alright, thank you!’. Mrs. Sui-Fan
brought nothing with her.”
[PROSECUTOR]
“What
about Lily? Did she bring anything with her to the Mini Cooper?”
[SITI]
“I
remember, Lily followed her mother to the Mini Cooper. Her hands were
both empty. Share
carried nothing with her to the Mini Cooper.”

The Prosecutor guided Siti in revealing the truth!
The
Judge and Jury clearly understood the case,
all the facts,
evidence, and logic clicked into place.
It only took the Jury a few hours to give out their final verdict:
9 vs 0 – Dr. Gum-San GUILTY for the murder of
Daughter: Lily
The Judge closed the case with the following statement:
“Dr.
Gum-San is an intelligence and highly educated man. A figurehead in
the field of science and medicine, well loved by his peers in the
research circles. To learn he created such a complicated plan to
murder his own wife and daughter with only a Yoga Ball and ‘CO’
has shocked not only myself – but everyone in the court room. A
tragedy motivated by an affair and the dividing of monetary assets.
We are all disappointed in you, Dr. Gum-San.”
