Sentenced to death?
He was sentenced to death?
Ward felt as if a bomb had detonated inside his head, echoing with such ferocity that the words Ivan spat out afterward were lost to him. Clinging to the railing, he erupted in uncontrollable shouts.
“How could I possibly be sentenced to death? I’m a foreigner! Are you taking advantage of my ignorance of the law? Even if I were to be sentenced, it shouldn’t be by you. I should be extradited back home, to be tried by my own country’s courts! You can’t sentence me to death!”
Ivan looked on with a smirk that was not quite a smile, studying Ward’s ghastly pale face, twisted with malevolence like some specter from hell, and spoke with detached elevation, “You want to talk law, let’s talk. According to the ‘Diplomatic Criminal Jurisdiction Immunity Act, the criminal responsibilities of foreigners with diplomatic privileges and immunities are resolved through diplomatic channels. Ward, what makes you think you’re so special, with any right or status to claim such privilege? Besides, foreigners who commit crimes on our soil are subject to our laws, just like our own citizens. Sure, if you were some hotshot with diplomatic immunity, maybe you’d get a chance to squirm your way out. But you, Ward, are most certainly not.”
Ward shivered violently, “It can’t be.”
“Moreover, following the conclusion of this morning’s trial, Country T embassy has contacted us to say that they will no longer intervene in your case. They’ve handed over full jurisdiction to us. Since you don’t have immunity, by the principle of territorial jurisdiction, our courts have the right to try you according to the law. Now, the fact that you committed premeditated murder is established, we can legally sentence you to death!”
“I did kill, but I was threatened by that witch Elspeth! I was forced into a corner!”
Ward glared venomously at Elspeth, “I was merely an accomplice! Elspeth is the mastermind! It was she who ruined me. She’s the one who deserves to die!”
“Pfft!”
Elspeth, her eyes bloodshot, spat directly at Ward with no regard for decorum, covering his face with her disdain.
Although it was a grave setting, Elspeth, once the epitome of elegance as a tycoon’s wife, now resembled a rabid dog in her madness, almost causing the Ashbournes to burst into laughter.
“She’s really got some nerve, doesn’t she? Even now, she refuses to back down,” Evadne remarked, her eyes narrowing sharply.
“How else could she play the villain?” Thaddeus watched the two people fight in their cage, his icy gaze and thin lips shaped like the edge of a blade, “Let her rage. After all, it’s the last time she’ll get to.”
The cage containing Elspeth and Ward nearly erupted into a brawl, but the officers quickly subdued them.
Ivan couldn’t hide his disgust.
In his years of service, he had seen all kinds of rampant evil and deviance, but these two managed to rile him up to the point where he wished he could throw his gavel at them.
