Hoofstuk 9: Die Verhoor
Die hof was vol mense wat op Steve se verhoor gewag het. Steve het baie senuweeagtig gevoel. Nigel, sy prokureur, het probeer om hom beter te laat voel.
"Moenie bekommerd wees nie, Steve. Ons het 'n goeie verdediging," sê Nigel.
“Ek hoop so,” antwoord Steve en kyk na die jurie.
Die aanklaer, gelei deur Victoria, het die vroue ondervra. Hulle het oor hul slegte ervarings met Steve gepraat. Maar Nigel het Steve sterk verdedig.
In sy laaste woorde het Nigel gesê: "Die jurie moet onthou dat hierdie gebeure deur almal saamgestem is. Steve wou niemand seermaak nie."
Die jurie het besluit dat Steve onskuldig is. Hy het 'n bietjie gehuil vir Nigel bedank.
"Jy is welkom. Maar dit is nog nie verby nie. Jy moet nou jou lewe herbou," het Nigel gesê.
Chapter 9: The Trial
The court was full of people waiting for Steve's trial. Steve felt very nervous. Nigel, his lawyer, tried to make him feel better.
"Don't worry, Steve. We have a good defence," said Nigel.
"I hope so," Steve replied, looking at the jury.
The prosecution, led by Victoria, questioned the women. They talked about their bad experiences with Steve. But Nigel defended Steve strongly.
In his last words, Nigel said, "The jury must remember that these events were agreed by everyone. Steve didn't want to hurt anyone."
The jury decided that Steve was not guilty. He thanked Nigel, crying a little.
"You're welcome. But it's not over yet. You must rebuild your life now," Nigel said.
