    AFTER THE SENTENCEAfter the audio ended, everywhere in the room went quiet.Jack had a wide smile on his lips.Alfred looked shocked as he gave Jack a deadly stare. He knew he was not in a position to say anything at that point, and whatever he said at that time would not be considered.The judge went on to speak.“ We have heard your piece of evidence counsel, however, I don't think it is going to alter our judgment today looking at the fact the accused have already pleaded guilty to all the accusations levelled against them, and the details of the audio happen to be one of them.However, his property will be confiscated and handed over to the state, who will decide what to do.

Alfred slowly directed his cuffed hands to the car door.He heaved a heavy sigh, pushed the locker to open the door, and dived out of the car in a split second.Everything happened so fast that he did not have time to think of what to do next.The moment he fell out of the car, he could feel pain in his whole body, and within another split second, he saw a car coming towards him at top speed.Alfred screamed out his lungs loudly in fear as if his shouts were going to stop the car from coming towards “ NOOOOOO” He could hear the car tyres screeching loudly on the road, but it was useless; the car was already close, and he had no time to run.Apparently, when Alfred threw himself out on the road, he sustained serious injuries, but he co
