When the lawyers for the prosecution and defense heard this, they got up at the same time to speak.

"Two, it's not a good habit to interrupt people."

Brooklyn shook his finger to stop the lawyer from speaking.

"I have one more question."

"If you really love little Jamie as much as you claim, you should at least have a funeral for little Jamie first, instead of letting him lie in church."

Seeing the lawyers on both sides sit down, Brooklyn lowered his head and looked through the notes and read

"According to the court investigation, little Jamie's body is now in the care of the priest of the community church, and the priest has reminded you many times to give little Jamie a decent funeral first."

"But you all refused."

"As the case has been repeatedly delayed, it has attracted a lot of media attention, and every day reporters go to the church to photograph the body of little Jamie."

"Every day, journalists come to you for interviews."

"The court's investigation showed that you were paid $50 to $200 each time you were interviewed."

"Excuse me, Mr. James and Mrs. James, did you really come here to argue for a result over Little Jamie's death, or to take advantage of Little Jamie's death?"

“Objection!”

“Objection!”

“Objection!”

Brooklyn and the lawyers of the original defendant and the defendant shouted out their objections together, and then showed sarcasm.

"The objection is invalid, two gentlemen, and it is the judge who you oppose."

He waved his hand for the lawyer to sit down and continued

"I have no intention of accusing you of your personal morality, and I have no intention of pursuing your behavior of taking advantage of little Jamie's death to make profits, the reason why I mention this is to remind you that this is a court, not a shopping mall!"

"It is understandable to use the death of his 2-year-old son to make profits, but abusing the rights granted to every citizen by the judiciary to grab benefits is already suspected of obstructing judicial fairness......"

"Mrs. James, you seem to have something to say?"

Ignoring Mr. James's frantic glance at Mrs. James in the dock, Brooklyn named him.

Mrs. James stood up, and without saying a word, tears flowed down her eyes.

"Your Excellency, I want to withdraw the case."

Mrs. James said, sobbing.

"You're crazy!"

Mr. James stood up and shouted

"You can't do that!"

"I've had enough, James! I've had enough! ”

Mrs. James broke down completely, crying and shouting

"You have no idea what I'm going through!"

"I don't dare go to church! Every day I pass by the church, I seem to see Jamie standing inside. ”

"I have nightmares every day about Jamie being crucified and crying."

"James, that's enough! I've had enough! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mr. James looked ugly and tried to hide it, but Mrs. James no longer wanted to continue with him, and she began to discuss with her lawyer to withdraw the case.

It can be seen that the plaintiff's lawyer did not know that the couple had planned it, and they were shocked and unable to give up at this time.

Brooklyn struck the gavel.

………………

The farce ended quickly, and the next group of prosecution and defense was replaced.

Brooklyn followed the summary procedure rules, one by one, and Courtroom 9 became less and less occupied, and soon became empty.

"Case No. 017-EDNY09-086, didn't the parties come?"

Watching the last group leave, Brooklyn asked.

Bob shook his head and was about to answer when he heard a commotion outside the door, and before the bailiffs could react, the courtroom door was slammed open and a woman dressed in fancy clothes fell to the ground.

The woman was riding a man, and the man, with anger on his face, raised his fist high, was grabbed and pulled away from the woman.

Behind the two men, Brooklyn's 'friend in distress' Orne Carroll was pushing a stroller and watching his parents scuffle together with an aggrieved expression.

There was a circle of people around the hallway, pointing at them.

"Get out of here!"

Mr. Carroll shook off his man and yelled at the crowd of onlookers.

The crowd did not disperse, but still gathered around them, pointing at them.

Mr. Carroll yelled at them in a rage, waving his arms up and down as if he were about to eat people.

Bob dispersed the crowd with two bailiffs with black faces, led the Carroll family into the courtroom, and closed the courtroom door with his backhand.

Before Carol and his wife could take their seats, the courtroom door was opened, and a group of mermaids rushed in, quickly filling the empty auditorium.

"I now feel that it was a mistake to put it in the summary procedure for an expedited trial."

After reading the thick list of evidence submitted by the prosecution and defense, Brooklyn turned his head to Bob and said.

Bob shrugged in response.

"Alright, since you've agreed to a speedy trial, let's get started."

Brooklyn cleared his throat and said

"Mr. Carroll, tell me why you are suing your wife...... Restricting your personal freedom? ”

Brooklyn looked skeptical.

Isn't it a divorce? How did it become an illegal captivity?

"Prosecution lawyer, I must remind you that this does not match the indictment you filed, and you need to refile a replacement indictment."

A substitute indictment is a type of change in the subject matter of the indictment, which can replace the original indictment and replace the prosecution of the defendant for a new crime after submission.

Substitute indictments are usually filed when new evidence is discovered, subsequent events arise and may change the nature of the original indictment.

For example, A stabbed B, and A was charged with attempted homicide, but B died of wound infection after the indictment, at which point a replacement indictment could be filed to sue A for the murder.

It usually comes up in the middle of a case, and it's the first time Brooklyn has seen her in divorce proceedings like the Carroll family.

Brooklyn looked at the plaintiff's attorney with scrutiny.

An indictment is usually drafted in such a way as to prohibit the commission of a fundamental error, i.e., that the statement is consistent with the charges against it.

You can't say in the indictment that the defendant violated personal rights and ended up being charged with theft. This can be confusing and confusing about what exactly you're trying to say.

Another fundamental error is the inconsistency of the previous statement, that is, the first statement that the charged crime is robbery, and the latter is written and written that it becomes fraud. This creates ambiguity.

If the indictment contains these two basic errors, it indicates that the author of the indictment is extremely unqualified.

This is a mistake that even a recent trainee solicitor would not make.

"I'm sorry Your Excellency, but this is just a spelling error, and I don't think it will affect the understanding of the case and cause ambiguity."

The plaintiff's lawyer quibbled.

Brooklyn stared at the plaintiff's attorney for a long time, his gaze slid over Mr. Carroll, and did not pursue further.

"You need to rewrite a new indictment and submit it to the court."

In Brooklyn's view, Mr. Carroll's lawyer is obviously unqualified, but the client has the final say in this kind of matter, and the judge is not so lenient.

People like to hire unprofessional lawyers, this is their right, what can you do?
