Just as Ethan said.
The grand public trial ultimately turned into a ridiculous farce.
Due to Joseph's own contradictory evidence, conflicting data, and suspected evidence forgery, he slandered Ethan.
Ethan was released on the spot.
Of course, "released on the spot" is a symbolic statement.
After all, there wasn't a real Judicial Hall today; instead, there was a vast sea and sky as the trial court.
The unruly crowd almost broke through the barriers and overwhelmed Joseph on the spot. Eventually, the people from the Kingdom Statistical Bureau had to forcibly escort him away.
After Joseph left, naturally, Ned took over the scene. As the highest authority of Winster Court, he announced the verdict for Ethan.
Ethan was declared innocent, and his bank and the frozen funds would be unfrozen.
As for Joseph, even though he is from the Kingdom Statistical Bureau and was overwhelmingly powerful.
