Fifteen minutes later, the court reconvened, and the judge stood up to announce the verdict.
"After review and verification by the court, Vera Wave is found guilty of manslaughter. Given her good attitude in admitting guilt and voluntarily surrendering, and the fact that it was not premeditated murder, this court, based on Article... of the Criminal Law of China, sentences Vera Wave to one and a half years of imprisonment and orders her to compensate the victim for various losses totaling 376,000 RMB..."
Sophia Thompson secretly sighed with relief, while Yan Su clenched his fist tightly.
One and a half years, in his view, was far too lenient a sentence.
Christopher Cooper noticed that Kris Cooper had not attended the trial, and Bailey Hansen, along with others, also breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the verdict.
In the gallery, Nathan Leafcastle stood up abruptly and turned to walk out of the courthouse.
