Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"I... I didn't. I didn't poison her!" Sophia was essentially being put on the spot.
Silas disregarded her denial. He continued in a deep, cold voice, "At that time,
you panicked. You fled from the crime scene. But you forgot to take this medicine
bottle with you.
"That year, the victim's death was determined to be a suicide. This made you let
your guard down. You never went back to the scene to double-check.
"The Beckett family figured that it was bad luck that someone had died in that
room. So, they ended up locking the room up. Unexpectedly, this unintentional
decision has helped the police preserve the crime scene to this day.
"This medicine bottle used to contain the victim's depression medication. It was
placed by her bedside. Its contents were swapped out. But there was some drug
residue in the bottle.
"We lifted samples for testing and found that it wasn't fentanyl. It was cyanide."
Cyanide?
That was the most poisonous of all poisons! Coming into contact with it would be
sufficient to cause death, let alone ingesting it.
The room was in an uproar.
Sophia was vicious indeed!
Sophia's thoughts were scrambled. As a murderer, she was now able to
understand how it felt to be wrongly accused. She was hysterical. She tried to
explain herself.
"I didn't! I didn’t use that to poison Anne! You're making false accusations!"
"I'm falsely accusing you? Your fingerprints were on the medicine bottle. If I have
made false accusations, please explain why that was so?"
Silas had a piercing look in his eyes. He continued to put pressure on her. "Let
me recount the sequence of events in this crime. First, you entered Anne
Bartley's room. Then, you came up with an excuse to get her to take her
medication. This caused her to die from poisoning.
"As for you, you were afraid that your crime would be exposed. Hence, you threw
Ms. Bartley from her balcony. You staged the scene as though she had
committed suicide by leaping off the building!"
Sophia shook her head vigorously. She was at her breaking point. "No, it wasn't
like that!"
Silas quirked his brows. He slammed the table and rose to his feet. "Let me
remind you, Ms. Kirkman, that Ms. Bartley is now buried at East Side Lyon
Cemetery. We can exhume her body for an autopsy with the agreement of her
family members.
"With the advancements in technology, even with only her skeletal remains
remaining, we can conduct tests to ascertain whether her demise resulted from a
fall or poisoning.”
"No! That's not true! I didn't poison her!"
Sophia grabbed onto the metal railings. Her eyes were bloodshot. Like a mad
woman, she shook the railings.
"She was the one who wanted to hit me. So, I fought back! I ended up pushing
her down by accident! I didn't poison her!"
The cat was finally let out of the bag.
It was true that she was falsely accused. Pressuring her was also part of the
strategy.
She wouldn't have admitted to something she never did if she was truly innocent
and free of guilt. It wouldn't have mattered how others accused or slandered her.
Sophia suddenly realized what had happened. She covered her mouth with her
hands. She froze in shock.
Nonetheless, it was all too late.
Everyone had heard every single word that she had just uttered.
The entire courtroom fell into a silence so profound that even a pin drop would
have been audible.
