"Tell me Mark! Are you sure that Charles killed him? If yes, then we will record your statement and you already know, if a person falsely accuses somebody with a wrong statement, what punishment they get."
The mechanic stood stupified, sweating profousely, while Austin gazed at him, giving him his usual ferocious look.
"I....I....N...no! I am not sure. I was made to say this. How can I be sure? It can be a normal accidental case too. I see hundereds of similar cases. So, I am not accusing anybody!" Mark freaked out, thinking about his family.
"Are you taking back your earlier statement?" Austin smirked.
"Y...Yes!" The mechanic looked glumly at the lawyer who had hired him.
Austin then turned to look at the magistrate. "Your honour as you see, this man Symond is highly unstable. He falsely claimed against my client, just to earn some fraud money. Also, the hospital treated him for free, and now he asking money for his treatment?"
The magistrate heard Austin's argument and write on a register in front of him. "Does the opposition have anything to say?"
"No your honour!" The opposition lawyer, sighed helplessly.
"Well then! As per the arguments and evidences produced, I hereby pronounce Charles as innocent. He has been falsely accused by Symond. Symond should be admitted to a rehabilitation centre for further treatment. The court is now adjourned!" The magistrate got up and left the court.
Charles and his father hurriedly came up to Austin to thank him. "Thank you so much sir! You are the best!" Charles spoke happily.
"That I am! Next time, try and be a little sober while driving. Your father can not afford hiring me everytime, to save you." Austin chuckled sarcastically and walked away, followed by his team.
