The judge looked at the information submitted by the plaintiff's lawyer and fell into a long examination.

All the materials that need to be submitted in court have been reviewed by the judge before the trial.

The submission of evidence in court on the spot is more of a process, so that the jury and the audience have a more intuitive understanding of the case.

The judge was not thinking about the case itself, but hesitating to pull Doug Clayden in.

While it is the jury's business to decide whether a criminal is guilty or not, the judge is responsible for sentencing the guilty.

But the amount of "sponsorship" he received from either the plaintiff or Doug Claydon was a small amount.

The reason why he dared to take two cents of the money was because they both wanted the little shoe-shiner to be guilty and given a heavy trial.

But......

Pull Doug Clayden into the case, but he never heard from it before.

Gilbert, who was sitting in the audience, seemed tired and stretched his waist, attracting the attention of the judge.

When he saw the look on Gilbert's face, he made a difficult decision, "I agree to include Doug Claydon as a defendant." ”

Doug didn't seem to be surprised at this, and he stood up in the audience behind the defendant's dock with no special expression on his face.

McGill looked at the judge with some surprise, but Doug gave him a reassuring look.

For this trial, he is not the only one who operates, and there will definitely be things that he did not expect.

Doug was undaunted.

Doug also sat in the defendant's seat, and the plaintiff's lawyer across from him spoke again.

"Your Excellency, I visited Goofy's family, neighbors and even employers. They all said with certainty that Goofy wouldn't shoot. Moreover, the pistol, which was used as a murder weapon, was not sold on the market at all.

Therefore, I suspect that the person who shot was not Goofy, but his employer, Doug.

When his employer found out that he had killed someone, he blamed Goofy. ”

The middle-aged and elderly judge nodded, looked at the dock and said, "Defendant, please explain." ”

McGill wanted to speak, but Doug held the back of his hand, and Doug stood up and said.

"Your Excellency, I would like to answer the first question of the plaintiff's counsel.

Goofy has not been my retinue for a long time, but in a short period of time, he has mastered many skills that his entourage needs to master.

For example - shooting his boss when his life was threatened.

The plaintiff's lawyer said Goofy's relatives and neighbors didn't know he was going to shoot.

Then I would like to ask the plaintiff's lawyer, how many forks do you have when you pee, do your relatives, neighbors, and friends know about it?

I don't think so.

I don't think the vast majority of people in this world want everyone in the world to know every skill they have mastered.

Your Excellency, I think you must think so.

As for the second question raised by the plaintiff's lawyer, the gun is not a mass-produced product and cannot be purchased on the market.

I can answer this too, this gun was made by a good friend of mine and gifted to me.

After hiring Goofy, because the gun was heavy, I gave him to Goofy for safekeeping.

Plaintiff's lawyer, if you believe that I am the murderer of Mr. Smith, please give more evidence.

Your Excellency, I'm done. ”

Doug sat back down.

The reason why he was so fearless was first of all because there were only three people, him, the little shoe-shiner and the dead Smith at the scene of the incident.

Smith is dead, and the dead can't speak, of course.

Little shoe-shiners don't have to worry either.

Of course, he said that what is the truth is the truth, and what is the truth.

As for other forensic methods such as fingerprints, bloodstains, dander, hair, etc., it may be possible to identify the murderer in 200 years.

However, in the nineteenth century, fingerprints were not included in the criminal investigation system, although fingerprints could be applied to contracts.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, what if the gun has Doug's fingerprints on it?

This gun was originally Doug's, isn't it normal to have his fingerprints.

The plaintiff's lawyer heard Takahashi's words and did not immediately reply.

Because, he really doesn't have any more evidence.

The little shoe-shiner's relationships were so simple that he could find only the most superficial evidence.

And for Doug Claydon's investigation, it's even more embarrassing.

Although his interpersonal relationships seem much more complicated than the little shoe-shiner.

However, just a few short months ago, he was a little tramp who would not be noticed at any time when he died.

Investigating him is like investigating a blank sheet of paper that has no trace of the past at all.

Whether it is presenting facts or talking about emotions, he is not sure that Doug will be killed.

Douglas was not originally in his plan, but was played by his employer.

He couldn't disobey his employer's wishes, but there was no conclusive evidence that Doug was the murderer. Therefore, he can only hope that Doug will mess with himself.

After all, the vast majority of ordinary people are suddenly involved in a case, become defendants, and are accused of murderers, so they must panic.

However, it is clear that he had a lot of mistakes in his predictions.

Doug Claydon, who can go from a small tramp to a well-known entrepreneur in New Haven in a short period of time, can he be an ordinary person?

"I don't have any more evidence. ”

As he said this, Gilbert sat down in his chair and recked forward, looking at the plaintiff's attorney with disdain.

He had already shown him a clear path, fabricated evidence without evidence, and condemned Doug to death as a murderer.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as it convinces the jury and the judge, or even just makes the audience think they're convinced, it's fine.

However, this damn lawyer doesn't even have the ability to find someone to commit perjury.

What a lawyer!

The plaintiff's lawyer had nothing to say for the time being, but he could not let the situation tilt in the direction of the defendant again.

His foot under the stage kicked Smith's wife lightly.

Smith's wife's expression suddenly became richer, and the cry instantly spread throughout the courtroom, and she began to tell her grief while sobbing.

The judge was well-informed and not overly excited.

However, the members of the jury and the audience were infected by the sadness one by one, and they couldn't help but leave tears of sadness.

"Law...... Your Excellency Judge...... Could you please ...... The murderer of my husband must be punished...... I want him...... Kill for your life!"

The last paragraph, she almost gritted her teeth.

The judge also symbolically wiped his eyes and asked Goofy in the dock, "Do you admit that you killed Smith?"

"I admit it. The little shoe-shiner replied.

"Good...... Then I declare that it will be up to the jury to decide......"

"Wait, Your Honor, I have something to say, he's still a child......"

Doug interrupted the judge and said firmly.
