"I was interviewed before the trial."

Brooklyn didn't give everyone time to think and discuss, and the conversation changed and suddenly brought up something off the court.

"In response to ACN reporters' questions, I said that this lawsuit is not only about human life, but also about my personal reputation."

"I know it's cold-blooded to say that, and it makes some people uncomfortable and think I'm unsympathetic."

"Frankly, Selena was my assistant, and we had a time of intimacy, but then she ruined those good memories."

"She claimed to ruin me."

"I think in reality, it should be difficult for most people to have a good impression of someone who is full of malice and claims to destroy you."

"I still regret Selena's death, but it's love and respect for life, that's all."

"I'm also an ordinary person, and I have preferences, and you can't ask me to put my future at risk, and to have compassion for a malicious person who has ruined my future by committing suicide."

"Your Excellency, please allow me to bring to the attention of the ACN, ABC...... Journalists from the above television stations served as witnesses. ”

Brooklyn suddenly turned around and suddenly applied for all the reporters who arrived at the scene that day to become witnesses.

This move was taken by surprise.

Even Ben Stone, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat and was about to file an "objection", was stunned and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the Brooklyn gourd.

Brooklyn's request does not fully comply with the Procedural Notarization Act.

The Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure require the prosecution and defense to present a list of evidence that includes exhibits, witnesses, and testimony.

However, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure also stipulate that if the prosecution and defense discover new evidence during the course of the trial, the new evidence may be included in the list of exhibits with the consent of the court.

Although the rules of criminal procedure stipulate that newly discovered evidence is provided, in practice, many people will lead to key evidence and do not include it in the list of evidence, but wait for the trial to be the right time, and make a sudden attack.

This provision is equally disgusted by the judges. Because its existence will disrupt the rhythm of the trial and make the trial full of uncertainty.

No judge likes surprises, at least neither Judge Anna nor Brooklyn does.

Judge Anna frowned and stared at Brooklyn with displeasure in her eyes.

But Brooklyn was well timed.

The rules require the prosecution and defense to cross-present evidence until one side has no evidence to submit.

Now it is the turn of the defence to present its case.

Judge Anna waved at the prosecution and defense, signaling the two to come forward. [Note 1]

"Brooklyn, what the hell are you doing?"

Judge Anna said dissatisfied

"I don't like surprises, and I don't like surprises."

"You'd better give me a proper reason."

Brooklyn looked away from Ben Stone and said

"They were all present at the time, and they were important witnesses, and their testimony will have an important impact on this case, Your Excellency."

Judge Anna did not surprise him by convening a side meeting, and if it were him, he would have summoned the proposer to him for an explanation.

What really surprised him was that Ben Stone didn't object!

When he had made it clear that the case would be reversed, Ben Stone did nothing!

This is so unconscionable!

Ben Stone smiled politely in response to Brooklyn's inquiring gaze.

"It's better to be like you say, otherwise ......"

Judge Anna gave a warning, ended the side meeting, and granted Brooklyn's request.

The bailiff immediately stepped forward and called the reporter out according to Brooklyn's order.

"Be quiet!"

Anna tapped her hammer to maintain order, and she shouted in displeasure

"Who doesn't want to listen to it, please just go out and leave!"

The first witness was quickly on the witness stand.

Brooklyn chose to list multiple journalists as witnesses in order to prevent journalists from refusing — which they have the right to do.

The ACN reporter swore by the Bible and looked at Brooklyn excitedly.

She had reason to be excited.

This experience was enough for her to concoct an eye-catching exclusive story later!

"Ma'am, what time did you arrive at the scene of the crime?"

Brooklyn asked gently.

"Around 2 p.m., I'm not sure."

The female reporter replied, "Selena's Twitter the day before said that there would be a major revelation at two o'clock in the afternoon, which should be two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"When you arrived at the scene, what did you see?"

"We found the police car parked in the yard, you were pressed to the ground by a patrol officer, and through the door we saw someone in the living room."

The female reporter replied recalled

"When we got closer, we found that the person who was lying backwards was Selena."

"She was in a bathrobe, open, lying in a pool of blood."

Speaking of which, the female reporter was a little excited.

"You say I'm being pinned to the ground by a patrolman, and we all know that the New York patrolman is a two-person and the other? What about his partner? Where did it go? ”

"The other patrolman was a woman, and she came out of the house and stopped at the door."

"She said that there was a murder inside, it was the scene of the crime, and it was forbidden to take pictures."

Brooklyn asked with a raised eyebrow, feigned surprise

"Coming out of it? Can you describe the specifics? Is she wearing a hazmat suit? ”

"Nope. She looked like she was going to check on Selena, and she happened to come out of the living room just as we were about to enter the house. ”

"What about her partner, what is she doing? Did you come out of the house with her? ”

"No, her partner is under the porch, with you."

"I'm done, thank you for your cooperation, beautiful lady."

Brooklyn nodded politely at the female reporter and turned around.

"An important motive for the police to suspect that I am the murderer is the deceased's tweet the day before, and they suspect that I am killing people to prevent the deceased from revealing the so-called little secret."

"So what's this little secret?"

"I came out of the scene of the murder, covered in blood, and was captured as a suspect by the patrol police. The media arrived just in time to film the scene. ”

"Could this little secret be 'Judge Brooklyn Lee turned out to be a self-serving murderer?!"

"Against! This is completely the conjecture of the other side! ”

Coulson's voice rang out.

Brooklyn ignored it and continued

"Come to think of it, the deceased's tweet the day before was public, and she made it clear that the so-called little secret was exposed at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"And I entered the villa before nine o'clock in the morning."

"From nine to two o'clock in the afternoon, I have a full five hours to do it, so why do I want to do it suddenly a few minutes before the reporters arrive?"

"Waiting to be caught by reporters?"

"This lady just mentioned that one of the patrol officers controlled me under the porch, and the other went into the scene to check on the deceased."

"I can understand the eagerness of the female patrolman, but does this meet the relevant requirements?"

"What she did on the spot, no one knows."

"I can ignore the fact that they arrested me without a warrant and without reading Miranda's advice. But I cannot but doubt the impartiality of this evidence. ”

"Bloodstains, murder weapons, autopsy reports."

"I don't understand that after I was taken to the police headquarters, for up to four hours, no one came to interrogate me."

"I'm the number one suspect, they don't interrogate me, they don't interrogate me all the time, what are they busy with?"

"The homicide paperwork is half a meter thick, how did they manage to fill it out in less than 10 hours?"

Whoop————

Brooklyn's words set the courtroom on fire.

Concentrate:

1. This is called a fence meeting, also known as pre-trial deliberation. In the course of the trial, if there are complex issues or important disputes over evidence, and the prosecution and defense argue in front of the jury that will have a negative impact on the jury's judgment, one of the lawyers may request a side conference, and after the judge gives permission, the lawyers of both parties will come to the judge to discuss and avoid being heard by the jury.
