Chapter 9: Steady, We Can Win
"Can the wounds of the deceased be determined whether it was suicide or homicide?"
Brooklyn asked in a deep voice.
Dexter looked up, looked straight into Brooklyn's eyes, and shook his head slowly.
"I can't."
"May I ask if the footprints near the deceased can determine exactly what the murderer was for, if he was killing?"
"The footprints are dense and messy, with multiple deformations, different step distances, and great variations, which shows that the murderer was in a nervous mood at the time,"
Dexter replied.
"Can the murderer, if any, be determined to confirm death and not to resuscitate?"
"If it's for the rescue, why don't you call the bend right away?"
Coulson asked, getting up.
"He just said it, and he was nervous and flustered."
Brooklyn turned, staring directly at Coulson like a falcon, and pointed at Dexter.
"Also, Mr. Prosecutor, it's my turn."
Coulson's cheeks puffed out and he sat down in silence.
"That isโ" Brooklyn simply turned to face the group.
"The bloodstains can only indicate the trajectory of the movement - first by the deceased, then by the wall, after a pause back to the deceased, and finally to the door, to the door, to stand under the porch. Right? โ
"Against! Inducing questions! โ
Once again, Coulson stepped up.
Brooklyn didn't argue with him, but looked at Judge Anna.
Judge Anna hesitated and tapped the gavel.
"The objection is invalid."
Of course the objection is invalid!
Although his questions are inducing, the so-called inducements are based on the witnesses' previous statements and are based on the summary and refinement of this.
"Yes."
Under Brooklyn's aggressive gaze, Dexter thought with a frown.
He looked a little absent-minded!
What are you thinking?
These two questions flashed through his mind, and Brooklyn continued
"What if the deceased committed suicide?"
"Against! You're the preset result! โ
Coulson stepped up again.
Brooklyn ignored him, speaking at a rapid pace, preying on the judge's judgment to say the rest of the story.
"If I was just shocked by the deceased's behavior and tried to save her after reacting, but found that she was dead, I was a little flustered, afraid that I would be identified as the murderer, and I went forward to check with luck, hoping that my previous judgment was wrong.
I hope he's alive. But she did die. At this time, the patrol called the door, in order not to continue to be misunderstood, I opened the door obediently?
Is my trajectory the same as you say? โ
While speaking in Brooklyn, Judge Anna kept hammering.
"The opposition is valid!"
"Brooklyn!"
"Brooklyn Lee!"
Judge Anna shouted as she knocked.
"I'm done."
Listening to the chatter in the courtroom, Brooklyn walked back to the dock with his head down.
"Silence!"
"Be quiet!"
Judge Anna struck the gavel and shouted in peace.
"Ask the jury to ignore the question just asked."
She said to the jury representatives.
This is not a game.,You can read the file and start over.,You say you can ignore it?
Brooklyn secretly slandered.
"Brooklyn Lee, I hope you don't embarrass me."
Judge Anna warned.
This method of saying what is going to be said even though it is contrary to procedural correctness is what the judge hates the most, just to let the jurors hear it, and to influence or even confuse their judgment.
Just like Brooklyn had in mind.
This is not at all in line with procedural correctness, but once the words are blurted out, they will be heard by the jurors, and the impact cannot be eliminated by the judge's ignorance.
It's a total rogue play.
No judge likes this style of play.
Judge Anna finally kept order in the courtroom, and she glanced at Brooklyn with an ugly face, outraged that Brooklyn had used such rogue behavior.
Judge Anna, who was angry, directly interrupted the rhythm of the trial and announced the adjournment!
Brooklyn stood still, watching Judge Anna walk away with indignation, Prosecutor Coulson frowning and bowing his head, watching the jury being taken away by the bailiffs, and watching the media reporters look excitedโ
In cases involving a wide range of influences, especially when one of the parties is a celebrity or an influential public figure, in order to prevent the jurors from being affected by external reports, the court will provide the jurors with accommodation throughout the whole process to prevent them from having contact with the outside world.
It's kind of like going to jail.
Brooklyn was left last. The bailiff told him it was best to do so, if he didn't want to be surrounded by reporters.
Brooklyn was obedient and obediently waited for the others to leave first, while he sat in the dock and reviewed today's trial.
He remembers a murder trial.
The homicide trial in memory will torture everyone to the exhaustion every time it is held. Judges, judges' assistants, law clerks, prosecution and defense parties and lawyers, juries......
Everyone should listen attentively to the cross-examination of the prosecution and defense, and their brains should always follow and think carefully. It's like swapping all the hours of the day for math lessons. If you're not careful, you won't understand it later.
But what about today?
Brooklyn looked at his watch, and the trial lasted less than two hours today.
And that's counting the time it takes to select the jury.
Judging from Brooklyn's experience, the trial just now had a good pace, and this adjournment was completely unnecessary.
A good judge must learn to control the rhythm of the trial, not to allow the conflict between the prosecution and defense to escalate, nor to interrupt the trial rashly.
But Judge Anna did just that.
Was this Judge Anna's own will, or was it instructed by someone else?
Is it the Chief Justice you've never met?
He thought about Coulson's performance today.
The opening show of weakness to the enemy, deliberately exposing flaws, and luring the enemy to attack really amazed him.
But amazing is amazing, and now that I think about it, this method does not fit Coulson's character.
What kind of character is Coulson?
Brooklyn had already made up his mind after a brief encounter with Coulson.
Coulson is an ordinary person.
He has ordinary ability, ordinary thinking, ordinary thinking, ordinary inspiration, ordinary speech, ordinary IQ, and is ordinary everywhere.
In Brooklyn's judgment, Coulson couldn't have come up with such a play. He should be the kind of person who goes straight to the point, presents evidence step by step, and steps step by step story......
Those who have this ability should be at least at the partner level of the law firm.
It's not that Brooklyn looks down on the District Attorney's Office, but this kind of talent can't be retained at all.
"You can leave."
The bailiff came to warn, interrupting Brooklyn's musings.
Brooklyn got up and walked towards the parking lot.
Sitting in the car, he didn't leave immediately, but took out his mobile phone after thinking for a while.
"David? It's ...... me."
