Brooklyn listened to David's narration immersively, smacking his lips and feeling a little emotional.

He felt that "his" past was a little ...... Short.

Brooklyn sighed in her heart.

According to David, he owes David and Ray too much.

Without him, David and Ray may not have fared well, but without David and Ray, he may not even survive.

David's speech was contagious, and everyone in the courtroom saw a side of Brooklyn that was not well known.

This kind of behavior of actively exposing one's past weakness is also a defense technique.

It can effectively close the distance with the jury and win the jury's sympathy.

Look, I'm so pitiful, and it's understandable to break the law and commit crimes......

But that's not what Brooklyn meant to be.

He invited David to attend the trial as a character witness, in order to save his reputation and build a persona.

Perhaps the original owner would be content with the magistrate, but he had a long-term plan.

"We don't have any problems."

Ben Stone stood up.

Judge Anna then announced the departure of the witnesses and, after confirming that no new evidence had been submitted by the prosecution and defence, announced that it had entered the wrap-up stage.

After cross-examination by the prosecution and defense, the defense will take precedence over the prosecution's subsequent order and summarize it separately. The summary is to revise their own storyline according to the evidence presented by both parties and tell the complete story again.

Nothing to say.

At this point in the trial, if it was just an ordinary case, the prosecution would have withdrawn the case long ago.

The reason why he insisted on not dropping the lawsuit was only because of Brooklyn's request.

If the prosecution drops the case, his previous efforts will be in vain.

No matter how good the prosecution's reasons for withdrawing the indictment, it will leave people with the impression of being a tiger, and his plan to save his reputation will be greatly discounted.

The reason why Ben Stone wants to cooperate with Brooklyn is only for the sake of future work.

Procurators have to deal with judges frequently, and helping judges without involving professional ethics can make their work more convenient in the future.

Brooklyn knows this, and she embraces Ben Stone's affection.

After the two sides took turns summing up, Judge Anna selected juror No. 40 to represent the jury and adjourned the trial.

The next part of the work will be made private.

The judge will lead the jury into the office and guide the jury.

The main content of the guidance is to clarify the duties and obligations of the jury, inform them of the law relevant to the case, the controversy arising from the case, and the exact meaning of the legal terms related to the interpretation.

The judge prohibits expressing or implying a jury inclination.

After the instruction, the jury enters a closed office and discusses until the jury agrees.

During this time, no one is allowed to enter or disturb the jury, including the judge.

Once the jury has reached an agreement, a message is passed to the judge, who declares the trial to continue and reads out the results of the deliberations in court.

As the prosecution "gave up struggling," the jury deliberations in this case inherited the case's usual swift style, and it took less than twenty minutes to reach a result.

"Jury, has there been a result in the deliberations of this case?"

Judge Anna announced the reopening of the trial, asking.

Jury 40 representatives stood up and nodded.

"After jury deliberation, it was unanimously agreed that the defense was ......"

"Prosecutors are not guilty of Brooklyn Lee's charges of first-degree murder."

Judge Anna struck the gavel twice, acquitted Brooklyn in court, and thanked the jury for their efforts.

Brooklyn sat in the dock with a slight smile.

Even though he knew that this would be the result, when this moment really came, he still felt a sense of relief.

"Congratulations."

Ben Stone walked over to shake his hand and congratulate him.

"Thank you. But, I'm sorry, I need to go back and get some good sleep, and I'll have to go back to this damn place after I'm done with the Judicial Conduct Commission's investigation. ”

Brooklyn joked

"I don't have much vacation left, I have to hurry up and enjoy it."

Saying goodbye to David, he drove back to his apartment alone, took a shower, and sat on the bed to read the news.

The latest front page on ACN's official website is the news that he was acquitted.

This was followed by a photo of Ben Stone standing in front of the courthouse, announcing that the investigation into Selena's murder would be reopened.

Benstone's announcement to reopen the investigation is just a face-saving rhetoric for the District Attorney's Office and the NYPD.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Selena had committed suicide.

The surveillance clearly showed that there were only two people at the scene, Brooklyn and Selena, Brooklyn was acquitted, and Selena either committed suicide or died in an accident.

It can't be a ghost kill, right?

……

……

Dinner was still pizza.

Stuffing the remaining half in the refrigerator for breakfast, Brooklyn began preparing materials for the Judicial Conduct Committee investigation.

The investigation by the Commission on Judicial Conduct is a routine matter. Don't worry about this.

The materials were ready quickly.

After checking that it was okay, Brooklyn got up and got out of bed and began to think about future plans.

Ray didn't know what was going on. I said I would come back, but I suddenly lost contact.

The NYPD had to find time to meet with their bureau chief, and it was not as convenient as an interview through David.

In the end, Selena was murdered.

Although all the evidence is pointing to the second group of the murder team at the moment, everything is a coincidence.

But Brooklyn always felt that things seemed too coincidental.

He remembered the humble news again.

Brooklyn rummaged through ACN's official website for a long time and found that the news had been deleted.

He lay back on his bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Is it really thinking too much?

……

……

The Judicial Conduct Commission is the equivalent of the Ministry of the Interior, but it is less powerful than the Ministry of the Interior and is not as annoying as the Ministry of the Interior.

Brooklyn considers the Judicial Conduct Commission's investigation to be a routine matter, and after submitting its investigative materials, it focuses on the NYPD's investigation.

The Department of the Interior's investigation into the second team is nearing completion, and according to the New York Police Department's spokesperson, the police department will hold a press conference to announce the results of the investigation and disposition in a week at the latest.

Brooklyn waited for the final results to come out, and contacted David by the way to ask about Ray's situation.

Ray is still missing, and David guesses that he should be on a mission, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to the public.

Brooklyn was a little uneasy, and Ray was a very important part of him.

But there was nothing he could do, his memory was incomplete, and his connections were paralyzed, so he could only ask David to inquire about Lei's situation.

After talking to David on the phone, Brooklyn sat at home at leisure, waiting for the Judicial Conduct Committee to announce its final findings, and then reinstated to get back to work.

But he never imagined that the judicial conduct committee would be so difficult to interview......
