Chapter 241: Series of Troubles
Sidney’s initial statements were an integral part of the trial. Almost fifty percent of the case was built on Sidney’s statement and her notes that coincided with Jake’s observations.
If everything Sidney stated becomes invalid, the foundation of the case had the possibility of shaking.
Just because of Sidney’s stupidity, Lennon now can possibly avoid the death penalty.
The defense was already planning on arguing that the lockers that were found in Lennon’s office in his old mansion didn’t belong to him and that someone else planted them there.
They were not naming names, but they were indirectly pointing fingers at Rory as the culprit. They were arguing that Rory set that place up to save her husband.
The confessions Lennon already made and the bodies that were recovered were all twisted into Lennon confessing because of duress. The defense insisted that Lennon knew of those places because Liam told him about it and he confessed unable to bear the mental torture he was put through.
Lennon did confess to r*ping Liam’s mother, and stalking Rory, and he denied ever r*ping Allison. He didn’t confess to killing any woman and took back all the confessions he made. He even decided to plead not guilty to all the murders.
Lennon was very careful with everything and not much evidence was found at the crime scenes or the bodies they recovered. The case against him was all that Jake said and Sidney said. With Sidney out of the witness stand, that only left Jake’s statements.
The only DNA found was the DNA of Allison’s baby and even that was partial DNA. The experts said that the DNA could also be from Liam. And there went that proof.
The defense got the information that Jake is a clinically diagnosed psychopath with a previous record and argued that Jake conspired with Sidney to get back at Lennon.
