"Y-yes I can see it clearly... he's still holding the gun!" Abelardo Lagman's response.
Nadia became even more nervous when Larry's staff pointed out that he was the shooter. Many more witnesses came forward who saw the crime. People who were not in that place when the massacre took place. Joshua and Nadia know, those people were paid by Larry's parents to pressure Nadia on the case.
Until the end of the hearing. The judge handling the case handed down the decision based on the testimonies presented by the witnesses against the defendant, Nadia.
"Can Mrs. Nadia Reyes 'y Quintos stand up." The male secretary of the judge said that he will read the verdict and decision in the case.
Nadia stood up.
"People of the Philippines Versus Nadia Reyes Widow of Quintos." Appointment of secretary "You, Nadia Reyes, wife of the deceased have been found guilty of the undisputed murder of Mr. Larry Quintos on August 17, 1997, so you are sentenced..."
"Wait a minute..." This was the voice heard by everyone present. Everyone looked at the back of the meeting. The Judge was also surprised, as was the man reading the verdict for Nadia.
Nadia saw a woman who was preventing the reading of the verdict. A woman he and Joshua knew. ANNALIZA!"
"Nadia is innocent.. I shot Larry. I will not allow MY MOST LOVED MAN TO BE HURT.---Joshua!" The crying Annaliza explained." I use this gun Mr. Judge!" He said, holding the gun.
"Are you telling the truth?" Judge asked.
Annaliza nodded, "Yes! I'm ready to suffer for my sin... don't I want someone else to suffer for what I did!"
