Yes, I agree with you.

You want to present the two statements as "indisputable/undeniable" facts/truths.

Then I believe 「事件の事実」would work best.

I think the translation is fine.

Having that said, here is a thought:
「事件の事実」may be replaceable with 「事件の実情」

The word 「実情」would emphasize that the event occurred behind closed doors, but that the facts are now in the open.

補足

Thanks!!
事実 vs 事情

I know in English law I would want 'facts' as in 事実. I would want 'facts' because the 'factual conditions' feels more complicated. A judge would want to judge on simplistic facts without a thought of change. In this case there are hundreds of facts but only two that I chose to prove a wrong.

I wonder if a Japanese judge sees it the same black and white way or if 事情 makes it seem more singular for some reason - for example, maybe a Japanese judge would have an easier time judging something that only involves one situation (condition) for one person versus a fact that can pertain to many.
