Chapter 21, there are strange things every year, and there are many in court
"The imitator should be committing a crime for the first time, and his methods are very rusty."
"From the lower body of the deceased, it can be seen that there are multiple scratches here. This is probably due to the imitator's nervousness. ”
David zoomed in on a picture of the deceased's lower body and pointed to a few scratches on it.
"After committing a crime for the first time, a murderer will go through a period of nervousness and fear, and enter a period of excitement and excitement, during which he is likely to commit multiple crimes in a short period of time."
"Guys, we're short on time."
As soon as David's voice fell, the phone rang.
The second deceased appeared.
……
……
It's a new day.
When Brooklyn drove into the parking lot, the speed slowed down significantly.
After confirming that he didn't see the muscle motorcycle, he suddenly accelerated, parked the car crookedly in the parking space, turned off the engine, and put on the document bag.
Bang!
Rushing into the elevator as if escaping, he ran back to his office with a puff of smoke.
He arrived half an hour early to avoid the difficult Michael.
Even though it was only the first time last night, Brooklyn already had an intuitive view of the boss.
If he could, he would rather fight Selena's suicide case again than stay with Michael.
Look what he was talking about yesterday!
Does Ruby have suitors?
Which type of suitor is Ruby more interested in?
What is Ruby's relationship with her ex-husband?
How long has Ruby been divorced?
Why did Ruby's baby go to jail?
Ruby RubiRuby Ruby...... Three sentences are inseparable from Ruby.
Last night in Brooklyn, I dreamed that I was attending Ruby's wedding to Michael, and that jailed bastard became the son of his immediate boss and tortured him all day......
Shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his head, Brooklyn changed into his robes, grabbed the indictment, and headed straight for Courtroom 9.
When they parted last night, Michael was still unsatisfied and said that he would come to him today, but he had already decided to be an honest and diligent judge, skip lunch today, and work on his five cases.
Still the bailiff who was the cameo assistant, Brooklyn hurriedly sat down in the judge's seat and announced the start of the trial.
"The people of 017-EDNY09-035 haven't arrived yet."
After calling a few times in a row and no one answered, the guest assistant went out to look around, and came back and whispered.
"Then the next one."
Brooklyn flipped to 017-EDNY09-036.
The guest assistant gave him a surprised look and went to call someone.
In fact, it was not only the guest assistant who was surprised, but also the clerk and several other bailiffs who felt very strange.
They had been assigned to Court 9 for a long time, and they knew Brooklyn's habits well. This is a notoriously punctual clock-in, why is it half an hour earlier today?
The two idle and bored bailiffs got together and began to speculate, and the clerk frequently looked at Brooklyn.
"Nelly, I've planned 6 cases today."
Brooklyn, who sensed the clerk's gaze, said suddenly.
Nelly immediately stopped gossiping.
The E.D.N.Y is staffed with only one clerk in each courtroom, and the clerk is responsible for recording the words and actions of each participant in the trial.
The contents recorded by the Registrar will be archived together with the video material for review.
It's a very intense job, and the average person simply can't handle it.
In the case of Selena's suicide, for example, there were five main speakers and a number of witnesses, who had to speak at least hundreds of thousands of words a day.
It's scary to think about this intensity.
Brooklyn is a fast court, and the average case is 50,000 or 60,000 words, and as long as the case is a little more complicated, 100,000 words can't be sustained.
Brooklyn has to do 6 pieces a day, and Nelly has to type 30 to 600,000 words a day.
Of course, it's hard for not just Nelly, it's hard for everyone.
Brooklyn needs to be highly attentive at all times to judge the words of each speaker and the logic of the case.
The bailiffs should always observe the situation and act in time to stop the conflict before it escalates.
Assistants should serve the judge well and ensure that the judge is not disturbed by matters other than the case.
It's hard for everyone.
But there is no way, E.D.N.Y is short of people, not only E.D.N.Y is short of people, this situation is the same throughout the Federation, and even the whole world.
There is a shortage of grassroots legal workers in all countries, and every judge is overworked, with far more cases to handle every day than they should be. Except where there is no need for a court.
He now has a clerk, a bailiff, an assistant, and a well-equipped courtroom, which is already very good, at least he doesn't need to be distracted to make a cameo as a clerk.
The parties of 017-EDNY09-036 quickly entered.
At the request of the parties, this trial is not open to the public.
It's a friction between neighbors — a small friction in Brooklyn's view.
The prosecution pointed out that the defence squirrel ran to his house and bit him while he was sleeping.
The defense did not admit that he kept the squirrel and said that the squirrel was wild and that he only occasionally fed it.
Brooklyn had a bit of a headache as he watched the parties arguing on both sides with red faces and thick necks — they didn't even hire a lawyer.
He really didn't understand, was it necessary to go to court for such a thing?
Even if the prosecution wins, he will receive less than a quarter of the costs of the proceedings.
DuangDuangDuang!
Brooklyn struck the gavel three times in succession, stopping the two sides from continuing to argue.
If they continue to quarrel, they will have to trace the contradictions of the previous generation.
"Aren't you neighbors?"
Brooklyn asked, puzzled
"Neighbors since your grandparents?"
The two nodded in unison.
"Okay, since you both have your own words, I'll sign a search warrant later, and have the police search your house to see if there are any supplies for keeping squirrels."
Brooklyn pointed to the defense and wanted to come to the search warrant to start filling.
"And you,"
He pointed to the prosecution again.
"According to what he said, you are suspected of studying, please go to the hospital for a test, come over tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, and give me the test results."
With that, Brooklyn clipped the completed search warrant to the assistant in the indictment.
DuangDuang!
"Next."
Watching the bailiff take the two away, Brooklyn complained to Nelly
"What are they thinking? Do we waste an hour just to listen to them quarrel and turn over old accounts? ”
Nelly didn't reply, she was flying with her fingers, and she was recording.
"Gentlemen, the indictment says ......"
Brooklyn paused, looking a little incredulous.
"Sue him for mowing your lawn???"
"Your Excellency, this is a very serious matter."
The prosecution, a well-dressed young man, pushed his glasses and said in a serious manner
"Mowing the lawn is my obligation, it's my own business, just like he plays cards with his wife, I believe that no one should want others to play cards with their own wives."
Brooklyn stared at the prosecution incredulously, speechless for a long time.
He actually felt that what he said was really reasonable............
After dealing with this strange case, the time has come to noon.
Brooklyn recruits assistants.
"You go and count what everyone is going to eat, and go buy it."
"We have a lot of work to do today, I'm afraid we won't have time for lunch. Let's talk about it here. ”
"I've had too many cases to fall into."
Although the E.D.N.Y's judges have no operational metrics and are explicitly required to complete the number of cases they must complete each month, it is also evident from the stack of indictments that Michael has thrown him with a lot of indictments, and each judge must not fall too far behind.
He missed a full quarter and had to squeeze in time to catch up.
That's why Brooklyn has a crush on Michael — before that dinner yesterday.
Michael gives him a bunch of small cases that allow him to catch up on the caseload as quickly as possible. If Archduke Michael selflessly assigns him the cases that a normal judge should take over, each of which will take at least a week, he will really die of exhaustion.
