Because it is not a public prosecution case, there is no prosecution or prosecutor's claim, but a lawsuit filed by Gaussey against the Brooklyn Police Department and the New York Counterterrorism SWAT Team. So both sides have their own lawyers, and it is estimated that the other party's lawyers are not weak, so Gao Xi feels that he can't be careless, but look at Tony. Don's expression seemed to be very relaxed.

Dong Chen sat in the audience, while Tony. Don sat in the plaintiff's seat with his assistant and Gaucy, and by this point, there was no need to say anything. Don En still told Gao Xi one last time: "The other party's lawyer is not easy to mess with, so I hope you don't talk nonsense for a while, if you can't answer, stay silent, if you feel that you can't decide, just look at me, I'll give you a hint, although you are smart, but you don't know anything about the court, is that okay?" ”

Although Gao Xi doesn't like to be controlled like a marionette, in order to win this lawsuit, it is okay for him to be a little wronged.

He nodded, looked at the dense audience under the stands, and even a large number of media people, and was really nervous, so he lowered his voice and asked: "I said Mr. Tony, is this case really so influential, why are so many people coming to watch?" ”

Tony. Don smiled and said: "Of course, black rights and interests are an easy topic to be exploited in the United States, and this time it also involves the Chinese, plus your video is spreading wildly on the Internet, this case is not a big idea, not to mention that you don't forget that the defendants are the Brooklyn Police Department and the New York Anti-Terrorism SWAT Team, which is even more mysterious than the National Guard, this is newly established, and many people don't even know about it, and now you have all poked it out." ”

"Didn't I do something bad unintentionally?"

Gao Xi is worried that after he finds out about this anti-terrorist SWAT team, he will be used by terrorists.

"It's okay, terrorists are not stupid, they always know about these things before the people. By saying this, you can reassure the American people. At the very least, they know that there is such a team behind them to protect them, of course, it must be formal protection, and it is not good to kill people indiscriminately like this time.

Gao Xi nodded, the slightest guilt in his heart was gone, and the next thing was the real battle.

I don't know what the Chinese court is like, but the American court is decorated with a relatively single color, which is more solemn, and it is estimated that the courtroom is probably like this, after all, this place is not a playground. So a lot of things have to be more solemn, and only playgrounds or places for people to play will have colorful things.

Generally, after the trial begins, the attorneys of both parties present their arguments, and the plaintiff's attorneys take the lead. In criminal cases, there are government lawyers, such as district lawyers. Of course, after the plaintiff's statement is over, the defendant has the right to make an opening statement!

Both sides present their evidence and theories before the judge and jury. The plaintiff's lawyer began to elaborate on his case. This is followed by direct questioning of witnesses appointed by the plaintiff, including so-called expert witnesses, i.e. those who do not argue the facts of the case, but only argue relevant expertise. When asked directly. Relevant documents and concrete evidence are shown.

Each party is only allowed to ask controversial questions of its own witness, unless the witness is hostile and uncooperative. In this case. Witnesses can be guided to these questions and can even be cross-examined or cross-examined.

Gossi was silently recalling some of the court's procedures, when the judge arrived. Judges in the United States are somewhat different from those in China, where judges are more important and play a leading role in the courtroom. And the judge in the United States is, to put it bluntly, a spectator, a fair regulator.

"Today's judge is not very favorable to us, this person has always had bad things to say about the Chinese. And her husband used to be a police officer and was killed by terrorists in a terrorist attack, so she is very hostile to terrorists, and you have to be even more careful if she is biased. "Tony. Don had already studied the judge, and this judge would naturally increase the difficulty of this matchup, but he liked the challenge of this difficulty.

Gao Xi looked at the judge, a white woman in her fifties, wearing glasses, looking very amiable, I don't know what it will be like later, but since he has come here and plans to fight this lawsuit, he must take it, and when he has to do it, he will also use some means.

The judge looked at the plaintiff, then at the defendant, and then at the audience under the stands, and then announced: "The Lower Court for the District of Brooklyn, New York, is hearing the case of the plaintiff Gaucy against the defendant Brooklyn District Police Department and the New York Anti-Terrorism SWAT Team for the unprovoked killing of Zou, and the court is now in session, and the plaintiff is asked to state the reasons for the complaint." ”

Tony. Don stood up, and then said his carefully designed statement in court, I can't help but say that this guy is really very powerful, he obviously just stated the facts, but relying on the tone and way of speaking, including some pauses on key points, it quickly aroused the indignation of the audience and the jury, many people are already very dissatisfied with the approach of the Brooklyn Police Department and the New York SWAT team, plus he said this, yes, this case has just begun, and the plaintiff Gaucy has already had a great advantage, At least in the minds of the jury, there is reason, and unless the defense can come up with any more convincing reasons in the future, the case is only going to develop in the direction that Gaussey wants. ”

“…… So to sum up, we believe that the Brooklyn Police Department and the New York Anti-Terrorism SWAT Team have violated the relevant laws by shooting and killing people without authorization when the facts are not clear, and arresting my client for no reason! ”

After all that, Tony. Tang En sat down, and it could be seen that he was really sure about this case, so there was no nervous expression on his face, which made Gao Xi gradually relax and not be so nervous.

The judge looked at the dock and asked, "Is there anything the defense has anything to say?" ”

The lawyer on the other side stood up, he was wearing a dark suit, he looked very solemn, the lawyer should be dressed like this, if he wore a denim suit like Gao Xi, it would not be convincing.

He said: "Hello Judge, I am the lawyer of the defense carte blanche, my client is innocent, they do not hesitate to risk the pursuit of terrorists for the sake of the stability and unity of New York, they are the heroes of New York, and we cannot assume that some people are guilty just because they say a few words." What's more, regarding the wrongful arrest of Mr. Gao Xi and Mr. Lu Chengfeng, one of my clients, the Brooklyn Police Department, has publicly apologized, that is because they stayed with terrorists, for safety, we will take them to the police station for questioning, in fact, this is in accordance with legal procedures, my client did not carry out any excessive actions against the two gentlemen, there was no torture to extract confessions, there was no coercion and inducement, all of this can be proved by monitoring. If the defense continues to dwell on this matter, then I don't think there is any need to come to court, my client is very clear, but I hope that the defense will not use its rights to force a group of heroes who are fighting day and night for the safety of New York, which is excessive. ”

"In addition, about Zou, Zou himself has been proven to be a terrorist, I don't understand why the defendant overturned the case for this person, and also sued my client in court, please judge, and the jury to think about it, if everyone is so nonsense, will our police, our anti-terrorist heroes still be able to work well in the future? Not only will they shed blood, but they will also shed tears! I will never allow such slander! ”

Hearing this, Gao Xi's face changed slightly, but Tony. Tang En still looked indifferent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, but this time he really met an opponent who could talk, and when the other party's lawyer said this, it seemed that he suddenly became taller, and even the Brooklyn Police Department, who originally felt a little guilty, seemed to take it for granted that they arrested Gao Xi and Lu Chengfeng at this time.

Gaucy was unhappy, and he felt more and more that it was necessary for him to sue the Brooklyn Police Department and the New York Counterterrorism SWAT Team, otherwise it would happen again.

The judge looked at the dock and said, "Please give evidence from the plaintiff." ”

Tony. Tang En stood up with a serious expression, then bowed slightly to the judge and said, "Your Excellency, I ask to show a piece of evidence, this is a video taken by my client at the scene that day." ”

The judge nodded and said, "Agreed." ”

Then, Tony. Don asked Gaucy to submit the evidence to the court by hand, and the court played the video on the spot, because the video content is not long, so it has ended in a short time, although this video has been played many times on the Internet, but seeing the original version at this time, it still makes many people cry, especially the photo used as a wallpaper on the mobile phone that fell out of Zoou's pocket.

It was Zou's children and wife, and after this case, they chose to remain silent, and it seems that not only Chinese, but in fact blacks also choose to collect money.

But Tony. Don still found the woman and the child, but unfortunately they had emigrated to France, left this sad place, and refused to testify in court.

Originally Tony. Don was sure to persuade the woman and the child back, but he didn't do that. Because a witness who you don't have full control over in court will not only not help you, but may also cause you a lot of trouble.

What's more, they don't know much in the first place, so just leave, it doesn't matter. (To be continued......)
