Chapter 69 Section 18

Dr. Gerhard Meyer of Newport Hospital recalled on the witness stand that on December 21, 1980, when he saw the unconscious Mrs. von Prowes for the first time, he did say "this woman Must have overdosed."It wasn't until the nurse found out the patient's medical records from a year ago that he realized that he should test for insulin. "The results of the tests are—" asked Steven Vermely. "216, quite high." It's the defense's turn to cross-examine. "You believe that the insulin in Mrs. von Proh's body was 'exogenous'," asked Gerald Fallinger. "Do you have any evidence to show who actually injected Mrs. von Proh with insulin?"

"No." "So it's possible that the injector was Mrs. von Prowe herself?" "certainly." "...Can you guarantee that the blood sample sent for testing must be drawn before the glucose injection?" "Probably, I suppose. But the samples are destroyed according to the regulations, so we can't confirm it." "You said just now that 1.06 barbiturates in the blood would not be fatal, but six months ago you told the grand jury that a barbiturate level similar to that had killed a patient. How should I explain it?" "..."

"In addition to insulin, the combined effect of other factors, such as Mrs. von Prov's body temperature being 17 degrees lower than normal, extremely high barbiturate levels in the blood, and extremely high levels of aspirin in the urine Indicators, etc., could it have caused her current situation?" "Maybe." The doctor replied. In the sixth week of the trial, the court clerk announced: "The prosecution has subpoenaed Alishan Essel." To the surprise of the jurors, the "secret mistress" of the defendant Klos von Prowes was not on the witness list.

In fact, the prosecutors did not deliberately create "dramatic effects", and they finally persuaded the parties to cooperate with them this morning. Alisanne Essel lived in a small hotel that no reporter could have dreamed of, just five blocks from the courthouse, and she had spent three days in a place called the Treadway Inn.Alishan was originally determined not to go to court, and was determined not to take this muddy water.Steven Varmiliti asked "please" not to move her, so he used his power to encourage the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office to issue a "subpoena".However, Steven also knew that twisted melons are not sweet. If Alishan turned her gun on the witness stand and deliberately opposed the prosecution, wouldn't it be self-defeating and shoot herself in the foot?

Therefore, Alishan Essel stayed at the Treadway Inn for three days, and Steven's direct supervisor, the executive attorney general Susan McGayer, also accompanied her for three days. To repeat, at any rate, Alishan was finally willing to appear in court. That day, Alishan was dressed quite plainly, with only a black cardigan over a homely ivory dark floral shirt and black skirt. There were no fancy dresses or high-end famous brands that stars are accustomed to, and no jewels and jewels.Perhaps Alisanne understands that no matter how she grooms herself, she can't compete with the royal family members sitting in the front row of the auditorium.

After taking the oath in the name of the "Bible", Alishan reported her name, occupation, age, address, etc. People read about her birthplace and background in newspapers later. Alisanne Essel was born in the Hou family, and Sunny was 13 years old, that is to say, she was nearly 20 years younger than Cross, almost a generation behind.Like Cross, Alisanne's father, Robert Motick, was also originally from Denmark, and he was an authentic "blue blood" of Denmark. , Count is the title of the Duke in the UK, and it means the earl in other European countries), after settling in the United States, he often travels between Copenhagen, London and Long Island, New York, and he is considered an "international figure".Therefore, according to the strict title, Alishan should be called "Miss Countess".

Alishan's mother's family was originally a wealthy family in San Francisco, and Alishan herself later married into a wealthy family.Her husband, Philip Essel, is a Wall Street financier, and her mother-in-law comes from the well-known New York banking family Learman.After Alishan and Philippe divorced, their son Adam Essel, now 12, returned to her.This was also one of the reasons why Alishan was unwilling to appear in court. In the end, the public prosecutor had to agree not to mention her son during the hearing.
