Most of the $700 million is still in the hands of Sunny's mother, Mrs. Aitken.The old lady is over eighty, old and old. It is reported that in her will, each grandchildren will receive 30 million US dollars. "Families of rich people generally adopt this method of 'intergenerational inheritance'," the banker explained, "mainly for the consideration of 'inheritance tax exemption'... In comparison, the little money of Cross is really nothing." what."

In her testimony, the last witness of the public prosecution, Princess Anne Rowling, emphasized that after her mother fell into a coma for the second time, Cross had repeatedly advocated giving up the treatment of Sunny despite the objections of their siblings— He said that my mother could no longer breathe on her own, and was completely dependent on those instruments and medicines to support her life. He said that this was actually the doctor's advice... He kept calling us, Alexander and I, two or three times a day, saying "In England, They all do it this way"...he even threatened us that my mother's organs had begun to lose their function, gradually began to deteriorate and rot, and if this did not end quickly, the doctors would remove her internal organs one by one... ...We still disagree, and he said, mother is nothing more than that, it is impossible to recover, why bother to throw a lot of money in the hospital for nothing?He carefully calculated how much the mother would pay for the room, the medical expenses, and the artificial nursing expenses every day when his mother lived in the hospital.If things go on like this, we will not be able to maintain the current way of life, and we will even be completely worn out...Alexander and I asked Morse Goley, and he told us that there was no such thing...Later, my mother transferred from Boston to Columbia Christian in New York The hospital, where Dr. Stork worked, and Cross was very unhappy, saying that the church hospital would let the mother live indefinitely, because their teachings did not allow the patient to stop treatment... At last, the mother was able to breathe on her own, Cross Only then stopped.

The defense's hearing began with locksmith Marshall Salzman, who said that on the night of January 23, 1981, he went to Clarendon with Alexander and private detective Edwin Longbert, "and they looked Very suspicious and sneaky." In the master bedroom on the first floor of the manor, it was Marshall who opened the closet door of Cross with the key, but he did not take the money and leave immediately, Alexander and Ed He was also present when Wen searched, and there was no black leather case in the closet at all. "Edwin came out of the closet and said, 'There's nothing in this.'"

Robert Schugin, a laboratory analyst at Newport Hospital, said on the witness stand that on December 30, 1979, after Mrs. von Prowe was hospitalized in a coma for the first time, he was ordered to go to her ward to draw a blood sample. "According to the regulations, we must first ask the patient's name, age, symptoms, etc., to check with the records in the medical record... I asked: 'Why are you hospitalized?' She replied: 'I tried to commit suicide.' I said: 'I am so glad you It's all right now.'" The defense's hearing took just six days, and the last of the 12 witnesses was Dr. Jon Carr, chief of neurology at Newport Hospital.

The doctor said that at the end of 1979, Dr. Janis Galidy, who was in the same hospital, came to him and said that one of his patients had some "mental disorders" and wanted to ask Dr. Carl to come over and have a look.However, there is a little trouble with the timing arrangement.Mrs. von Pro was eager to go home, and she also had the kind of temper that "opened her mouth and kept her mouth shut" to the doctors and nurses in the hospital, just like treating the servants at home.Dr. Carl's "psychological consultation" was scheduled for January 2, 1980, the morning of Sunny's discharge from the hospital.

"She has changed her clothes," Dr. Carr told the jury, "the mind is obviously not there...I said I will not waste too much time for her." Dr. Carr read according to the records in the medical record—— I asked her if she felt happy, happy?never.Feel helpless and bored?often.What are your plans for the future?Hopefully better than my past.Do you have suicidal tendencies?No, but I often wish I were dead... How is your relationship with your family?My husband and I haven't lived together for five years... Do you have a drinking problem?Well, let's call it a day.
