Wan Chong shook his head as he looked at the crowd around him.
Fang Zhengzhi could have bribed someone to be his witness...
Wan Chong dismissed that thought almost immediately. A witness couldn't just be anyone.
A witness needed to be trustworthy.
That was one of the conditions of a witness.
For example, a suspect couldn't have his wife or children be his witness. They would not be deemed trustworthy enough to be witnesses.
No one would accept that.
Similarly, if you had a few villagers to testify for you, the impact they would make would be too little. For such a high profile case, the witness needed to be someone powerful.
Villagers could be witnesses for petty crimes. However, when it came to murder and robbery, their testimony meant little.
For a case like Fang Zhengzhi, even a rich businessman or a scion from a noble family would not be sufficient.
Wan Chong looked around Fang Zhengzhi.
