Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1344

Sonia let out a sigh. "Even though years have passed, it is not too late. Harry is still alive, and his age qualifies him for questioning and criminal investigation. He should still pay the price for his evil deeds."

"Yeah." Tom agreed with her statement. "I told President Fuller about this, and he echoed your sentiments."

"Has Harry been brought to the police station?" she asked.

"Yes, after the hypnosis ended yesterday, Harry knew that he had confessed everything and could not resist, so he didn't try to defend himself anymore. He was willingly taken away by the police. Moreover, the police were aware of his past contributions to the country's economy, so they made no public spectacle out of his detention. This can be viewed as maintaining his final dignity."

"What about the close family member who assisted him back then?"

Tom pushed up the bridge of his glasses and responded, "The police chief retired three years ago. He probably realized that he was doing something for personal gain and that he would never be able to keep it a secret for the rest of his life. Therefore, he moved abroad and changed his nationality."

"Changed his nationality?" Sonia was taken aback when she heard that.

Suddenly, his face was painted with disdain. "Even though he is no longer a citizen, the laws he violated while he was a citizen still apply. So, the police will continue their investigation even though he has changed his nationality. The police have contacted the embassy, and they will work to arrange for his return from that country. Rest assured, Miss Reed."

"That will be great." Then, Sonia showed her understanding of the situation with a slight nod. "However, what type of punishment will Harry receive?"

"Given his age, it is implausible that he will face the death penalty or life in prison. Therefore, he will probably serve no more than ten years in prison at the most." Tom continued mockingly, "For an old man like Harry who thinks highly of himself and has strong self-esteem, one year is enough to drive him crazy, not to mention ten years. Furthermore, his health is deteriorating rapidly, so he might pass away in prison before the ten-year mark."

Hence, whether or not Harry would be sentenced to death or life imprisonment didn't make a difference.

Then, Sonia ran her fingers through her hair. "I see. In other words, except for some distant relatives, the entire Lore Family is either headed for prison or is already there."

"On the other hand, Mrs. Lore is still free. After a discussion, the police had no intention of arresting her because she did not commit any of the crimes and was not fully aware of them. On the contrary, her husband evaded taxes and committed commercial espionage. With such a large sum of money at stake, he will likely receive a prison term of more than ten years."

She sneered and commented, "It's no secret that the Lore Family is filled with worthless people. The grandfather was a murderer, the son evaded taxes and was involved in commercial espionage, and the granddaughter was charged with intentional homicide. They are undoubtedly related."

"Exactly." Tom shrugged and said, "There is no way for Harry ever to be released from jail. However, Mr. Lore should be able to hold out until he is released from prison, though by the time he does, he will be around 70 years old. Mrs. Lore could either wait for him or remarry by then. Who knows for sure? Regarding Lynette, she is unquestionably going to be given a death sentence. Consequently, the Lores may soon cease to exist."

"We don't have to sympathize with them. They are simply paying the price for their brazenly committed crimes."

Moreover, the public outcry and the pressure of the wealthy in concert made it so that the higher-ups were under significant pressure. As a result, in order to quell public outrage, the higher-ups convened a series of meetings before deciding to disregard specific procedures. They decided to transfer her to the circuit courts and execute the verdict quickly to explain it to the public.

Therefore, it should not be surprising that she was given the death penalty for her crimes. Soon, when the verdict was reached, it was posted to the court's website and met with widespread netizens' praise. However, she was dissatisfied with the ruling and decided to file an appeal.

Lynette was unable to comprehend the verdict because she had committed no wrongdoing. In addition, she was merely advising the fisherman, assisting him in overcoming obstacles, and she did not drive a car to kill the Acrees. So, how could she be the mastermind and be sentenced to death?

She believed that as long as she did not commit the murder by her own hand, it would not be considered murder, and she should not have ended up in that situation. As a result, she insisted on filing an appeal, and the court granted her request.

However, everyone except Lynette knew that the second trial would not affect the verdict. Ultimately, she would be forced to come to terms with her impending execution because the ruling from the first trial would be upheld.

Knowing that she intended to file an appeal did not provoke any particularly hostile responses from netizens beyond the expected level of disdain. Nevertheless, she would be subject to the same repercussions regardless of how persuasively she argued her case.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lore became so overwhelmed by the news of Lynette's first-instance verdict that she fainted in the courtroom. According to rumors that circulated, she allegedly suffered a stroke and was in a coma in a small hospital.

As for Harry and Grayson, the police took their sweet time to sort out their crimes and evidence.
