Chapter 72 Section 21

Steven asked: "I know you are a financially independent woman, but please tell the court, did Mr von Prow buy you a car?" Alishan frowned.According to the agreement reached before appearing in court, the public prosecutor is not allowed to ask such questions.However, Steven has got everything he wants from Alishan's mouth, and he no longer has any scruples. "Yes, BMW." Alishan replied, "At that time, it was agreed that the two of us would share..." "Besides, when you decided to part with Mr. von Prow, you offered to return the full amount of the car money to him. Is that what you are going to say?"

"Yes." Alishan lowered her eyes, her voice was as low as a mosquito, "but he said...he said that it was originally a gift for me." "How much?" "Twelve dollars." Steven nodded and moved on to the next question: "Ms. Essel, are you and the defendant still dating—meeting?" "No, since all this happened, my lawyer told me not to have any more dealings with him." "So, Ms. Essel, do you still love the defendant?" There was tittering from the gallery, and Steven turned his face to the direction of the laughter and smiled. He knew that someone was counting for him, and he had already It's the third question.

Just by turning around and smiling, Steven missed the witness's answer.Some in the court later said they heard Alishan say "no" in a small voice. "I'm sorry, can you say that again?" This time, Alishan replied: "I don't know." Because Alishan Essel's appearance in court was an interim decision by the prosecution, Judge Thomas Needham allowed the defense to not have to conduct immediate cross-examination.After the trial the next day, Cross's lead attorney, Herald Fallinger, told the judge that his client had asked him to "stop embarrassing Alisanne, she is unfortunate enough".

Later, jurors pieced together the second half of Cross and Alisanne's story from the testimony of other witnesses. On February 11, 1981, the doctor just announced that Sunny's coma was "irreversible". Take Alishan and Adam mother and son to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas Islands for vacation.Unbeknownst to Cross at the time, they were being followed by Richard Cool's private investigators and that Maria Singlaham had seen their three tickets while cleaning the house. In March of the same year, Cross took Alishan to Nassau again, this time, both of them brought their children Cosima and Adam.According to Alishan's vision, they "use the vacation to build a bridge of communication between each other" and "conduct an attempt as a future family".

According to the prosecution's knowledge, the last contact between the two people was in early January 1982, the weekend before the trial of this case. By this point, the prosecution believed they had shown the court another motive for Klos von Prowe's attempted murder of his wife. Alisanne Essel stepped off the witness stand and thus out of the life of Klos von Prowe.The prosecution continued to summon Richard Stork in accordance with the established plan. Dr. Stoke said that in his 26 years as Sunny's personal doctor, he never found that Sunny would get sick from drinking——

Steven Vermiliti: So where does the claim about Mrs. von Prow's alcohol allergy come from? RICHARD STOCK: That's what Herr von Prow said, and he alone said it. Steven Vermiliti: When Mrs. von Prow was hospitalized at the end of December 1979, Newport Hospital diagnosed her with hypoglycemia. Do you think that is correct? RICHARD STOKER: She did suffer from hypoglycemia, but hypoglycemia wasn't necessarily what caused her to go into a coma.There were still many uncertain factors. Steven Vermiliti: You mean, there should be another explanation for Mrs. von Prow's coma at the end of December 1979?

Richard Stork: To be honest, I really don't want to think about the so-called "other explanations", but this kind of thing did happen.It's about one's morality or morality, and it makes me feel very...very unpleasant.
