Chapter 38, swinging to a new height
Brooklyn has never been afraid of challenges, and he doesn't believe in the 'it's never too late for a gentleman to get revenge for ten years'.
When someone provoked, he fought back on the spot.
In the face of Hahn's provocation, Brooklyn directly uncovered Hahn's old bottom, poked him in the sore foot, and hit him in the dead hole, trying to kill him with one blow. Let his true colors be exposed in front of everyone.
Hahn was a man of low self-esteem and pride.
This is Brooklyn's judgment of Hahn.
It is unknown what caused him to lose his ability to play cards, but it affected him deeply, and it was an important source of his criminal modus operandi.
Stabbing the victim with a knife, especially if it is not intended to cause damage.
From a psychological point of view, this is what QJ means, and stabbing with a knife replaces their card playing action.
What's more, Hahn is stabbing a woman's lower body.
And he used his deceptive appearance to deceive everyone, made a pure appearance, and played with people's hearts and demagogues from above.
He declared himself to be a demon, and what he did was to punish women for their unfaithful performance, to judge the impure.
He's playing God.
This comes from his low self-esteem.
What Brooklyn has to do is to shatter his self-esteem with his own hands, expose his unbearability in front of everyone, make him fall off the altar, and expose his inferiority.
From the moment Hahn walked in the door, Brooklyn realized that Hahn was actually coming for him.
……
……
Hahn chose to remain silent when confronted with Ben Stone's question.
No matter what Ben Stone asked, he didn't say a word.
After Ben Stone named him as a hostile witness, he remained silent.
Seeing this, Ben S informed that the witness was deactivated.
Not only is it abolished, but it may also bring subversive results to the original excellent situation.
Fortunately, the judge gave the precautionary shots in advance.
Thinking of this, Ben Stone looked at Brooklyn with a little gratitude and nodded slightly.
"He is yours."
Ben Stone finished his question and said something to Harvin.
Unexpectedly again, in the face of such a good timing, Harvin did not choose to cross-examine.
Not only did he not cross-examine himself, but he even stopped Benjamin who wanted to ask questions.
"We don't have a problem."
Haven said
"In addition, we will not ask for other evidence and remain waiting."
This choice was a surprise to everyone.
Brooklyn didn't care about 'looking at Hahn affectionately', he waved his hand and asked the guest assistant to take Hahn away, and confirmed solemnly
"Are you sure, Harvin? You will no longer submit any evidence, even if you have a long list of evidence. ”
Brooklyn knocked on the table and picked up the list of evidence submitted by the defense to show it.
Although the list of evidence for the defense is not as long as that for the plaintiff, it is not a lot.
From Brooklyn's point of view, there is a lot of evidence to be drawn to it.
Is this a direct abandonment?
Or is it because of Hahn?
Thinking so, Brooklyn glanced at the door.
The twist he had expected, Hahn's turn, did happen, but it didn't seem to be quite what he had imagined.
"I'm sure." Haven nodded.
"Harvin, I hope you understand that if you give up the evidence and stay waiting, the court will later submit an investigation to the Bar Association to investigate your assets, during which all your assets will be frozen. Until the results of the investigation prove that you have no interest in the third party. ”
Brooklyn reminded solemnly.
No lawyer will make a decision to waive the defense on behalf of a client.
The reality is often that when the client gives up the defense, the lawyer will try it.
Because if you defend negatively, you will face an association investigation, and this kind of investigation is often measured in months or even years.
You say there is no interest? Why do you defend negatively if you don't have a stake? Did you take money from the other party? Or is there another third party that has something to do with you?
Due to the particularity of the lawyer profession, many clients often have privacy and secrets, and a lawyer under investigation cannot keep these secrets.
A lawyer who can't keep secrets, who will look for him?
Therefore, in the judicial circles, the lawyers under investigation are basically equivalent to being dismissed by the entire judicial circle.
Even if it turns out that there is no negative defense, no one will want to hire him.
Of course, due to the complexity of the actual situation, it is difficult to define a negative defense, and as a result, there are very few lawyers who are actually investigated for a negative defense.
If you say I'm negative, then it's not okay, but I'm playing abnormally?
I just didn't expect that there was a loophole here, but the loophole was caught by the other party, can you rely on me to be negative?
Brooklyn nodded, made a note on the file, and glanced up at Curtis.
Ever since he was invited into the 'Little Black Room,' Curtis has been quiet, as if he wasn't the one on one knee and chanting 'Red Devil'.
"Ben, the rest of the time is yours."
Brooklyn retracted his gaze and rushed to Ben S Passage.
Ben Stone was a little unsure of what was being sold in Harvin's gourd, and he always felt that everything had gone off track since Hahn appeared.
But now is not the time to think about this, and since the defendant has chosen to wait, he will not be polite anymore.
Ben Stone swayed to his heart's content, drawing on almost every piece of evidence on the list of evidence.
After the presentation of the evidence, he began to ask the victim's family to appear as witnesses.
From the first case on August 29 to the time of the extermination case, he did not let go of any case.
Each time, he would go through the facts of the case to deepen the jury's impression and make it easier to understand.
The prosecution worked hard to use all the evidence to completely nail Curtis's coffin board.
On the other hand, the defense seems to be completely lying flat, full of salted fish smell.
Curtis kept his head down, chanting the scriptures, oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.
Benjamin appeared directly in the bystander after Harvin announced his wait.
Harvin seemed to be a spectator, only knowing that he was holding his chest and listening to the prosecution's story, and he refused to even cross-examine the evidence.
He hadn't asked a single question since he announced his waiting.
Brooklyn didn't know what it meant to continue this kind of trial, and even the spectator seats were half empty!
The pace of the trial was not good.
Brooklyn glanced at the 'aesthetically fatigued' jury and banged the gavel to stop Ben Stone's serial bombing.
By this time, it had been a week since Haven announced that he had been waiting.
"I think it's necessary to remind the prosecution that although the rest of the time is yours, it doesn't mean that the rest of your life is yours."
Brooklyn expressed his attitude implicitly. Ben Stone soon received the announcement that the prosecution had adduced all the evidence.
At the end of the cross-examination, when it came to the closing argument stage, Harvin's performance was once again shocking.
His closing argument was a one-sentence statement.
"My client is innocent."
Come to an end!
Even Nelly, the clerk, looked up from her typewriter in surprise.
She has worked in the court for a long time, and she has seen all kinds of strange things, but it is the first time she has seen the closing statement of only five words.
Brooklyn had become accustomed to Harvin's, and didn't care to let Ben Stone close the case.
