After the video was played, Tony. Don said, "Your Excellency, I want my client to recount the circumstances of this video at the time of filming, and to identify the suspects who arrested them and shot Zou at that time. ”

"Agreed."

Generally speaking, the judge in the United States only presides over procedural justice, and she should not be emotional, so as long as it does not violate the principles of the court, she will basically agree, and it seems that today's judge is relatively fair and does not embarrass the defense.

Or maybe she didn't dare, after all, there were so many people watching today's trial, as long as she did something that did not conform to the judge's behavior, it would be very troublesome.

Gaucy stood up, and then recounted what happened that day as it was, he didn't add fuel to it, he just made proper use of his emotions, which was with Tony. Tang En learned, he showed his panic and fear and doubts at that time, anyway, as long as he said the truth, the other party had nothing to say.

He then identified the SWAT team member who shot Zou that day, and Charlie, who captured him.

Charlie has woken up, but he was still in a wheelchair when he came, and I don't know if he wanted to win the sympathy of the jury or something through you, but he came to the scene anyway.

"Is there anything the defense wants to ask, or what it wants to plead?" The judge asked, looking into the dock.

Cross-examination or cross-examination is a lawyer's purpose in cross-examining the opposing witnesses before they are left on the scene. The aim is to invalidate the witness's evidence or to make the testimony favorable to one's side. If cross-examination results in the testimony of the witness against the party on whose behalf the witness is testifying, the counsel of the party who gave the witness may request that the witness be re-examined to clarify or stop the testimony of the witness.

This process is crucial, and many juries make their final verdict through this process.

The defendant's lawyer stood up, looked at Gaucy and said, "My client does not deny the content of the video, and what happened that day as stated by the plaintiff is also true." But that doesn't change the fact that Zou is a terrorist, so it's not clear to me what the point of the prosecution is in presenting such evidence. ”

"Objection, Your Excellency, the defendant's lawyer has repeatedly mentioned that Zou is a terrorist and this is not only an insult to the dead, but also a misleading to the people." Tony. Don seized on the loophole in the other party's words and stood up.

"The objection is valid, please pay attention to the accuracy of the wording of the defendant's lawyer." The judge said coldly.

"Your Excellency, I apply to have witnesses summoned." Instead of clinging to words, the defendant's lawyer demanded that witnesses be called.

The judge nodded in agreement, and soon a woman was brought up. This woman is also a black woman, and she is quite beautiful, even in the eyes of this yellow person, she still thinks she is quite beautiful.

This person is Zou's lover, and she knows everything that Zou did, and she can prove that in the days before the crime, Zou did come into contact with terrorists hiding in New York. And has had in-depth contact with it. "The defendant's lawyer looked at Tony. Don glanced at Gosse again, he hoped to see the stunned and panicked expressions on the faces of the two men, but he was disappointed. Tony. Don still had that poker face, and Gosse was there thinking intently about something at this time, and didn't look this way at all.

After that, the so-called lover of Zou stated what he knew, and after he finished speaking. Tony. Don stood up.

"Your Excellency, allow me to ask the witness a few questions."

After the judge agreed, Tony. Don walked out of the dock. Then he walked to the front of the witness stand, stared at the woman, and asked, "This lady, you say that you are Zou's lover, who can prove it?" ”

"My colleagues can attest to the fact that I have a very good relationship with Zou, often work together, eat together, and what he really likes is me, so he doesn't hide anything from me." The woman replied.

"Oh, I see, so your colleague was there when you and Mr. Zou were doing something shameful?"

The defendant's lawyer immediately stood up and said loudly: "Objection, Judge, the plaintiff's lawyer's question has nothing to do with this case!" ”

The judge looked at Tony. Tang En glanced at him and asked, "Please explain the reasons for the plaintiff's lawyer." ”

Tony. Tang En nodded and said, "Your Excellency, jury, don't think that I am making trouble unreasonably, this issue is very critical. The defendant's lawyer said that the lady was Zou's lover, and the woman admitted it, but as far as I know, Zou is a complete program man, and he cares most about the data and games, not the woman! ”

"Objections, plaintiffs' lawyers have been confusing."

"Please don't say anything inconsequential."

"Well, Your Honor, what I want to say is that the identity of this lover is not reliable. This lady was originally a colleague with Zou, or Zou's assistant, they eat together, it is normal to work together, even if the relationship is better, it is just a friend, there is no lover relationship at all, what their colleagues see is only the good side of their relationship, but it can't be explained that it is a lover relationship. Of course, if a colleague sees them go to bed, that's a different story. ”

Tony. Don began to exert his strength.

Witness testimony and evidence are required.

In the case of a jury case, the judge will instruct the jury on how to apply the law, including who has the burden of producing evidence and how to weigh it. There are three criteria for measuring evidence, and only when these criteria are met can there be evidence to win the case. First, the principle of "priority of evidence": in most civil cases, the presenter must convince others that his evidence is more true than other evidence and not contrary to it. Second, in civil cases, such as fraud cases, the evidence must be clear and convincing, i.e. the existence of facts is very probable. Thirdly, the highest standard is that in a criminal case, the evidence of the defendant's guilt must be beyond reasonable doubt and beyond reasonable doubt.

Therefore, if there is a flaw in the testimony of the opposing witness, it is basically useless.

"How can that kind of thing be seen." The woman seemed to be a little panicked and said loudly.

"Thank you for your cooperation! Then let me ask you again, do you know Mr. Zou's blood type, zodiac sign, parents' situation and place of origin, as well as some of his characteristics? ”

Tony. Don continued to ask.

"I know, of course I do." Then the woman told Zou in detail, and in some places it even felt as if she was memorizing the text mechanically, which even Gaucy sensed was wrong.

"You have such a good memory, you should be able to memorize these things backwards, right?"

"Of course ......"

"I object, the plaintiff's lawyer is obviously inducing our witnesses, and our witnesses are not in a good mental state and request an adjournment!" The defendant's lawyer can't see that this situation is not good, the words that the woman said, idiots can hear that there is a problem, if it is just said alone, it is okay, but just say it all at once, it is like memorizing it in advance, which is too obvious.

Because of this, the defense hastily filed for an adjournment.

The judge adjourned the hearing.

In fact, it can be seen from this point that although this judge seems to be fair on the surface, he is actually biased towards the defense, and at this time, the court is adjourned, and everyone can see that there is something wrong with the defendant's witnesses.

After an hour's adjournment, the court reconvened.

The judge asked Tony. Don still has any questions to ask the defendant witness, Tony. Donn replied, of course.

The question just now is just the beginning, and the next thing is the point, he has already set a huge trap for the other party to drill into, but he didn't expect the other party to be so bold, as if he didn't care about the consequences of making people perjury, and he really had to play the stupidest trick.

"This lady."

"Don't be afraid, I won't ask you any more questions about your personal affairs, what I want to ask is, you said that Mr. Zou had contact with terrorists, so who is this terrorist, how did they get in touch, and how did Mr. Zou's money be transferred to this terrorist?"

"I can answer that. That terrorist's name was Zawood, and he was an immigrant from Syria who had committed terrorist attacks and was caught by the police, so I knew he was a terrorist. Prior to the terrorist attack, Mr. Zou had been in contact with the Zawood many times and had given the money to the Zawood. This time the woman seemed to be full of confidence, and her answer did not stumble at all.

"Were you there when the two of them touched?"

"I didn't ...... though"

"You don't need to say so much, just answer yes or no."

The woman looked at the defendant's lawyer, and finally nodded firmly, "Yes." ”

This was clearly a signal given to her by the defendant's lawyer.

"Very well, can you tell me what Zawood and Zou said, preferably in the original words, I really can't remember what I mean." Tony. Donn asked.

"They...... They said they were going to attack New York City Hall, and Zawood said he was short of money and hoped that Zou could provide some, so Zou agreed. The woman gritted her teeth and said.

"Are you sure?"

"This ......"

"Are you sure or not sure?"

"Sure!"

"Then why didn't you call the police at the time?"

"I'm scared!"

"Then why is it being said again now?"

"Because Zou is dead, I'm not afraid." The woman replied.

"Okay, so you know Zawood and Zou, right? If you were to testify against Zou and Zawood in court, you wouldn't have anything to fear? ”

Hearing this, the female witness was obviously completely panicked at once, but after seeing the defendant's lawyer, she gradually calmed down: "Of course I'm not afraid, there are so many people, they don't dare to do anything to me, and Zou is dead, he must have gone to hell and won't come out again."
