The trial of Judah Hunt's murder was the first to commence, and still, the question was whether Neil was involved in the murder or not.
Did he order the murder, or did the bodyguard act on his own?
As long as it remained unproven that Neil was involved, he would be able to walk away without facing any punishment — at least from this specific case.
It was the legendary lawyer who needed to prove that Neil was indeed guilty.
Thus, he was allowed to proceed.
He called Neil for questioning, much to everyone's surprise.
"Mr. Neil, your bodyguards killed Miss Judah. Were you unaware of it?" he asked.
Neil shook his head. "No, I was aware. Deputy Chief Karter informed me about the matter after a month of Judah's death."
"Oh?" The lawyer's brows raised in surprise. "You were aware of it, and yet you remained silent about your bodyguard's crime. Shouldn't you have reported him?"
Neil nodded. "I should have, but... he is loyal to me, and I decided to let the matter slide."
