Chapter 16 - The Cloud Backup Surprise
"Miss Vance, can you describe the events of the night in question?" the prosecutor asked gently.
"Evelyn Sterling cornered me beneath the wooden coffee table, physically struck me, and lied to my husband," Maya testified clearly.
"And how can you prove this without the physical hard drive, Miss Vance?" the defense attorney sneered loudly.
Maya reached into her pocket, producing a small gold key card which she handed to the court clerk.
"Because the camera was linked to a private cloud server that backed up every frame in real-time," Maya revealed.
The prosecutor inserted the key card into the court's media system, projecting the 4K video onto the wall screens.
The entire courtroom fell dead silent as the video played, showing Evelyn's deceitful smile and violent attack in vivid clarity.
Evelyn gasped in horror, slamming her hands onto the table as her defense team's faces turned pale.
"That video is a deepfake!" Evelyn shrieked hysterically from her seat. "She fabricated it!"

"Order in the court!" the judge slammed his gavel down firmly. "The video evidence is admitted!"
