Chapter 59, Emma Gilson

December 29, 4 p.m.

Court No. 9.

Brooklyn's minor concussion had recovered, and the hospital recommended that he stay in the hospital for a few more days, but he refused.

Brooklyn sat in his office, frowning as he looked through the lists of evidence submitted by both sides.

In front of him sat Tom and Jerry, two lawyers.

"No problem."

Brooklyn signed the list and handed it to Bob for him to take and copy.

"Lawyer Tom, are you going to ask for recusal from the judge?"

Brooklyn asked.

"I'm connected to this case, your client's friend used hacking technology to burn down an entire apartment building, almost killing me and my two children."

"If you apply for a judge's recusal, I may need to recuse myself from this case."

Brooklyn looked at Tom with encouragement in his eyes.

There was a fire in his room that day, and the fire spread quickly, and if it wasn't for the firefighters who rescued him in time, he would have died in the elevator.

The fire killed 17 people, seriously injured more than 30 others, slightly injured hundreds others, and caused economic losses of millions of dollars.

The day after the crime, the culprit who used hacking techniques to cause everything was caught.

The hacker's name is Emma Gilson, a friend of Monrika Russell, who went to see Monrika on the day of her detention.

According to the recording, the fire was planned by Emma Gilson and Monrika Russell, in order to teach Brooklyn, the "murderer executioner", a lesson.

Now that Emma Gilson has been taken into police custody, the prosecution is working with the police to compile evidence and prepare to file a case against Emma Gilson.

According to David, the F.B.I. sent teams to New York to take over the case.

However, due to the hacking and arson case, the NYPD did not report to apply for help, and the FBI team was blocked by Director Reagan and David.

In David's words, "They value Emma Gilson's talent as a hacker, and God knows what they're going to do to recruit Emma Gilson"

The repercussions were huge, and the outside world's perception of Emma's arson and Monrika's arson was not entirely one-sided.

One of the important reasons is that Emma and Monrica were found to have tampered with the information in the police archives, and their real age is 15 years old!

Not an adult!

Some people think that Emma and Monrika are underage and should be tolerated with them. Others believe that Emma and Monrica can change it once and change it a second time, and the devil knows what their real age is.

Besides, even if they are minors, can the punishment be reduced or even exempted just because they are minors?

The two groups argued endlessly, arguing from online to offline, and there were people marching in New York every day for the past two days.

The case of Emma and Monrika has attracted great attention from the society, and the child rights protection organization has personally intervened, hired a lawyer team for them, and publicly announced it to the media in front of the court

'Don't put your child in harm'

The statement was followed by a statement from child advocacy groups, along with anti-death penalty groups.

Emma and Monrika quickly occupied the high ground of public opinion, and the voices of support for them rose higher and higher.

Those who oppose them are disorganized and undisciplined, and they are scattered and defeated.

In addition, within the judicial circles, a piece of news circulated:

Emma's arson case, once accepted by the court, is likely to be merged with the Monrika arson case.

Brooklyn can partially prove the truth of this rumor, because he just came out of Michael's.

Tom shook his head with a wry smile.

"Judge Brooklyn, you should be able to see that this is beyond my control."

Brooklyn raised his hand to stop Tom from continuing, and took out two papers and handed them to Tom and Jerry.

"Since both of you have no objection to the person appearing in court in this case, then sign it."

This is a "disclaimer" that Brooklyn has been preparing for in the early morning to deal with the possibility of "applying for a judge's recusal" in the future.

It is clearly stated above that after the court judge clearly reminded the trial judge that he was a relevant person in the case and could apply for the recusal of the judge, both parties still insisted on waiving the right to apply for the recusal of the judge and to convene a hearing.

Jerry finished signing happily after reading it, and Tom looked embarrassed.

"Pearson. Spector Law Firm isn't clever at it, Tom. ”

Pearson. Spector Law Firm was found for Monrika and Emma by child advocacy groups and anti-death penalty organizations, and their lawyers came from this law firm.

This is the largest law firm in New York, and for the entire New York judicial community, Pearson Plzeň is the largest law firm in New York. Spector Law Firm is a behemoth. No one is up to them, and they dare to say that they are sure to win.

Brooklyn is no exception.

Therefore, he did not publicly express his position after receiving the news, and has been cautious and cautious in his words and deeds.

Someone burned down his home, he was thrown into a slight concussion, and he was almost killed in the fire, and everyone would be angry.

Brooklyn wasn't just angry, he was angry, furious!

On the night David and Ray went to visit him, he had already thought about letting Ray kill the whole family of the two little girls.

He believed that if he made the request, David might block it, but Ray would not hesitate.

But in the end, reason triumphed over impulse.

It's not worth sacrificing your future for two ants who don't know the height of the sky.

Brooklyn felt it would be better to crush his opponent in what he was good at.

What is Brooklyn's area of expertise?

Judicature!

Long before receiving that Emma's arson case was assigned to his own hands, Brooklyn had figured it out. If these two cases are referred to another judge on the grounds of recusal, he will defend himself against Monrika and Emma.

Now that he is the trial judge in both cases, he is even more certain.

If the trial judge really wants to take care of one of the original defendants, it is simply not too simple.

"Tom, this is the courthouse."

Brooklyn said seriously

"The Confederation is a judicially sound, sovereign and independent country, and here is the court, and now we are in the normal pre-trial proceedings."

"It's not a gang fight, it's not a political election. We don't look at who has the highest voice, or who has the most numerous. ”

"At least in my courtroom, none of that is a consideration."

Seeing Tom sign the agreement with a blue face and a white face at what he said, Brooklyn shrugged and made a joke.

"I thought you teachers would teach this kind of thing when you were in law school."

Seeing Tom's face sneered, Brooklyn said, "Well, in fact, my teacher didn't teach either. ”

He put away the two agreements and shouted outside. "Bob! Make a copy of both agreements! ”

There was a crackling sound outside, and Bob staggered in, took the agreement, and left like a gust of wind.
