The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1491-Sentenced to death…

The court had sentenced Winston to death!

In Winston’s mind, it was like a colossal bomb exploding. He could not hear and did not want to listen to what Clarence had to say next. Instead, he gripped the railing uncontrollably and shouted, “How could you sentence me to death?! I’m a foreigner! Are you trying to mess with me because I’m unfamiliar with the law?! Even if someone were to sentence me, it shouldn’t be by you… My country should’ve been the one to repatriate me… My country’s court should’ve been the one to judge me! You cannot impose the death penalty on me!”

Clarence glanced at Winston’s pale and sinister face with a smirk, coldly raising his voice. “You want to talk about the law with me? Fine then. Let me enlighten you with some basic legal principles. According to the regulations in ‘Jurisdiction Immunity of Diplomatic Representatives in Criminal Matters’, diplomatic channels resolve the criminal liability of foreigners who enjoy diplomatic privileges and immunities. Winston, what makes you think you have the qualifications or status to enjoy this privilege? Besides, foreign nationals who commit crimes within our country are subject to our laws, just like our citizens. However, authorities may give a slight chance to escape punishments to certain individuals who enjoy diplomatic privileges and immunities. But you, Winston, clearly do not belong to that category.”

Winston trembled fiercely. “N-No, that’s impossible…”

“Besides, your embassy contacted us right after the morning session ended. They stated that they wouldn’t intervene in your case any longer and have fully handed it over to us for trial. Since you don’t have rights to immunity, according to the principle of territorial jurisdiction, our court has the right to judge you according to our law. Now that the court has established the facts of your intentional homicide, we can legally sentence you to death.”

“I did kill someone, but that vile woman, Shannon, forced me to do so! I had no choice!”
