Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

"Speaking of knowing things…" Kyle said slowly, "You still haven't given me a chance to tell my story." "I know," said Andrea. "I was having too much fun speculating. Finding you like this is a gift, and I don't want to tear the wrapping off all at once. ‘Building up the anticipation makes it better.’" Kyle blinked again, then gave a quiet snort of recognition at his own words being thrown back at him. "So what is your speculation?" Kyle asked. "Oh I don't know, probably something utterly disappointing. Did they pick you up for speeding on the way to the farmers market? I guess that wouldn't explain the uh…" she gestured at his injury again. "It wouldn't explain that now, would it. Oh, I know! You got into a fight over the last piece of bluefin!" Kyle just shook his head slightly. "No? I guess it's too much to hope you did something really exciting like rob a bank—You're not secretly a cat burglar are you, Kyle? Lose your balance breaking into an art gallery? No…?" Kyle looked unamused. "Very funny, Chuckles, would you mind taking this a little more seriously?" "Of course," said Andrea. "Very serious for a lawyer to have been arrested. You could be disciplined. Disbarred! Why, we might not see each other in court anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame." "Wouldn't it though," replied Kyle. "So that's the kind of guy you think I am? Stealing fine art and fighting in fish markets?” Andrea pondered some more. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Did you get into a fight with someone's boyfriend? Did it turn out that you were your young lady's bit on the side, and you ended up having a domestic dispute?" Kyle winced. "Is that it?!" Andrea had been teasing, but it seems like she had touched a nerve. To whatever degree Kyle had seemed like he'd been playing along, even as worn down as he was, that last remark had left him deflated. Kyle hung his head. "It wasn't like that…" "Oh sure, like you haven't been collecting notches on your bedposts." "I'M not like that." "You're not? That's not what your reputation says, out there collecting numbers and breaking hearts. I heard that you were a real ladykil–" "Andrea! I'm not–" Kyle shouted, grabbing her hands. His hands were strong, and his grip so tight it almost hurt. His expression so intense, frustrated and hurt and… scared? Andrea knew she had been twisting the knife a little into something that bothered him, but what had caused this reaction? It was only for a moment, then Kyle seemed to catch himself and let go. He slumped back in his chair and slid his shackled hands back below the table. Andrea leaned back as well, adding to the distance, and folded her arms, no longer smiling. She glanced at the duress button out of the corner of her eye. If Kyle had kept holding her as tightly as he had been, she wouldn't have even been able to reach it. "I think we're ready for storytime now," she said seriously. “I think you had better start at the punchline. What have you been charged with, Mr Wynn?" Kyle took a deep breath before he raised his head once more. "Murder, Ms Mason. First Degree Murder." *** Andrea Mason, a defense attorney who cares more about justice and protecting her clients than just winning cases. But the one man she hates to lose to is her rival, the arrogant prosecutor, Kyle Wynn. Kyle represents everything Andi hates about unscrupulous win-at-all-costs lawyers, and for years they have traded arguments in the courtroom and barbs in the hallways. Their paths cross again when they find themselves on a high-profile murder trial. As much as Andrea might despise Kyle, she can’t believe it when HE is charged with the horrific murder. But she is even more shocked when he asks for her to represent him at trial… *** #SLOWBURN #STRONGFL #CRIME #MURDER #FLIRTY #ROMANCE If you want to know what to expect, check the reviews! ฅ^-ﻌ•^ฅ Burrito says to join here: https://discord.gg/qr7eUnxT2F

Silent meant that there was not even the sound of crows or sparrows. It was very quiet. This idiom can be used to describe the tranquility of the natural environment, or to describe people being silent. It came from the fourth volume of the Song Dynasty's Shi Daoyuan's Jingde Chuandeng Lu. The words " absolute silence " and " absolute silence " both meant that there was no sound at all. However, silence was generally used to describe a crowd or a place where people gathered, which referred to 'quietness', while' silence 'was mostly used to describe a vast natural environment, which referred to' quietness'.

I can't provide a Chinese version of Omert'a because Omert'a is an Italian word, and its Chinese translation is " Apocalypse " or " Apocalypse ". However, I can provide you with some information regarding the Law of Silence. The " Law of Silence " meant that a powerful person would not initiate an attack but would wait for an opportunity to make a mistake or lose his mind before taking action. This law embodied a peaceful and rational attitude, avoiding violence and conflict, and promoting the harmony and stability of human society.

Author: What's Wrong? Deep Sea Ember, Author: Yuantong Chapter 19: Cultivation in the Chaotic World of Demonic Martial Arts, Author: Wenplagiarism 20:"Who told him to cultivate!" Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times": Holding a sword, drinking in Jianghu, slender waist and light palm. This was the best work written by the author, Ji Cha. Up until now, he had 234 leagues and 2.48 million fans. It seemed to prove that the author's pen strength was gradually increasing, making people feel straight after reading it! The love and hate between him and his female confidantes made people shout for him to hurry up and not sleep at night! I want to see blood flow like a river! The lovely Yang Yang, the big sister Hong Ling, the demoness Chi Chi, the turtle and turtle three ladies, the pitiful female protagonist with all kinds of personalities and images, made people say that this was Ji Cang! There are many female leads! awsl! 2.<<Spirit Realm Walker>>: From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that there is a Spirit Realm in the world. Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many different opinions among the famous people of the past dynasties. "From Qi to Tang, the mountains are desolate and the spirit realm is lonely. Few people visit." "Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by." 3."The Tang's Table": It was another day of learning, and the strange knowledge increased. Every time, the image was so strong. The painting of the golden age slowly unfolded. 4."King of Familiars":"King of Familiars" was a book with a rather old-fashioned theme, but the author had made some innovation in the background and structure, bringing new possibilities to the readers. The book was about familiars, and it talked about the male protagonist's superpower and the antler pendant with healing powers. The story was set in the early stages of the descent of familiars, giving people a novel feeling. The author's writing standard was also guaranteed, and the overall quality was good. The storyline was not just a routine, it brought new surprises to the readers. Although the content was not rich enough at the moment, there should be more exciting content to be presented. The author's new book was also exciting. He hoped that he could continue to be innovative in the direction of familiars and bring more novelty to readers. 5."Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": The Emperor is critically ill, the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, the local immortal sects are entrenched, and the central power is in chaos.

He knew that she was the empress's favorite minister, the lover of the rebel leader, and the young master of a famous sect in the pugilistic world. You're the one I'm chopping! It was a very refreshing book, strongly recommended. 8."Mantang Huacai": A work that traveled through the Tianbao period of Xuanzong. It was a rare masterpiece among historical novels in recent years. It cut into the civil case and portrayed the battle between the Crown Prince and Li Linfu. The advantage was that the plot was closely linked and the suspense was high. It was extremely catching and also had an excellent description of the shadow behind the Great Tang. The main flaw was that the characters were relatively flat. The main character was "very intelligent and close to a demon." Moreover, the harem was too obvious. As long as the female characters met the male lead, all their positions and wisdom were almost useless. They revolved around the male lead. Although this kind of writing was clever, it was a little flat. It was fine for ordinary novels, but it was a flaw for a book. Slightly flat but still vivid characters: 6 A detailed description of the ecology of the prosperous Tang Dynasty: 8 Interlocking and Suspenseful Plot Design 9."Hidden Dead Corner":"Hidden Dead Corner" was a strange novel that made one's scalp tingle and could not help but continue reading. The author's writing style was outstanding, and his imagination was big. The story was compact and made people unable to stop. The writing and plot of this book were excellent, but it would be better to fatten it up before reading it. The author's description made people feel as if they were there, and they felt the strange atmosphere. Although the new book,"Hidden Corner," seemed to have a hidden and grand inner meaning, it was actually a completely different story. This story was a bit like Inception. It was worth reading. Rollie's new novel,"Hidden Dead Corner," had already been published. The initial 24-hour booking score was 40,000. He hoped that Rollie would persevere in writing this book and advance to Platinum. Even though there weren't many updates, the content and style of writing were excellent. It was just that it was a little too weak and not good enough. All in all,"The Hidden Corner" was a creepy and irresistible novel that was worth reading. [Final Divine Title: Pugilist, Stats Added, Bloodline Fusion in the Later Stage] 4-star expectation️️️️ 11:"Beyond Time": The Strange Wind Immortal's Heroic Story has returned to its original starting point ~ I'm looking forward to it!

Summoning free players to work as laborers, the feeling of developing in the Wasteland World View (Players are old leeks) The assistant was very cute, and her development was very stable. She could pass the time and look at it. Of course, it was still recommended to fatten it up a little. It would be more coherent. Three Stars 2021.07.22 Red Heart Sky Patrol: Red Heart Sky Patrol is an unforgettable novel. The author used a unique perspective and writing style to set the story in a world full of mystery and fantasy. With the disappearance of the demon race and the dragon race in the ancient times as the background, the story described the protagonist Jiang Wang in the new era of the Taoist calendar. Facing the predicament of the country's system reform and social unrest, he showed his perseverance and determination to pursue the truth.

However, for the new captain of the Lost Home, there was only one problem he had to consider first. Who knew how to sail the boat? "Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World":"Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World" was a very creative novel. The author used the elements of mortals and shuttling between the two worlds to present a fantasy world of cultivation to the readers. The main plot of the story revolved around the protagonist's adventures in the Immortal Cultivation world and the Demon Martial World, allowing the readers to experience a different Immortal Cultivation experience. Even though some of the chapters were a little weak, overall, the book was worth reading. The author's writing was smooth, the plot was compact, and the unpredictable plot development was fascinating. In general, this book gave people the feeling that the author's imagination was wide open. Every step was full of excitement and surprises. This book was a good choice for both readers who liked immortal cultivation and fantasy adventures. The recommendation score is 8.9 points. It's worth reading!
