He hurriedly whispered reassurances to the ashen-faced Boka, "Don't worry, there are many grounds for an appeal in this case, after all, a huge amount of evidence is gone. I will submit an application to the appellate court tomorrow."

The crowd immediately erupted into a wave of cheers:
"Great, that damned Boka is finally going to hell!"
