Crying, noise, tables and chairs clashing, insults, warnings are intertwined, and the scene is chaotic into a pot of porridge.

Brooklyn hugged Orn, whispering coaxing, but looking into the center of the chaos with disgust.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Bob himself, along with two bailiffs from the sidelines, a total of five bailiffs, the Carrolls were separated.

The auditorium was still noisy, and the couple scolded each other in the air.

Bob came over and asked if he needed to take the two to the 'observation room' to calm down, but Brooklyn shook his head and vetoed it.

He sat down in the judge's seat, coaxing Orn softly, his eyes slowly roaming the courtroom, his face becoming more and more ugly.

The noise in the auditorium faded and finally disappeared.

Only Kent's cries echoed in the courtroom with the scolding of Carroll and his wife.

Mrs. Carroll's lawyer was the first to see that something was wrong and grabbed Mrs. Carroll.

The scene finally fell silent.

"Isn't 300 hours too easy?"

Brooklyn asked

"It seems that you are not happy with this punishment."

"Contempt of court, plus 700 hours. For each subsequent offense, a penalty of 100 hours will be imposed. ”

"If you want to, the court can punish you for the rest of your life in community service!"

300 hours plus $1,000 is actually a very rare and severe punishment.

Assuming that a person does one hour of community service a day, eight hours on weekends, and 15 hours a week, 300 hours of community service would take 20 weeks to complete.

Now with the penalty of 1,000 hours, it will take 67 weeks.

67 weeks!

That's more than a year!

What's more, Brooklyn requires weekly reporting to the court, which means that their community service work is non-stop.

This is equivalent to punishing them for a year of continuous work without rest.

More severe penalties than this are not for nothing, on the contrary, there are many.

Such as incarceration.

But that happens when the parties have no respect for the public officials of the court, especially the judges. For example, verbally abusing or even beating up a judge.

The two men just fought each other, which is not uncommon in federal court.

In the federal courtroom, snatching the bailiff's gun and shooting at the other party are all pure hand-to-hand combat, but it is actually a small scene.

The reason why Brooklyn is punished so heavily is because of Orn and Kent.

He himself has been an orphan for both lives, and his visceral disgust for such irresponsible parents.

The second is because he is a rising star in New York's judicial circles.

In the Federation, to be a rising star is to have a personality, like an awl in a bag, to show your head and make people remember.

There aren't many things about a judge who can show personality without being offensive, and Brooklyn picks and chooses to see this as an opportunity.

Unsurprisingly, Brooklyn's decision caused a brief commotion in the auditorium.

In the eyes of these reporters, the penalty of 1,000 hours plus $1,000 is extremely serious, and even exceeded.

The reporters in the room, all of whom were intrigued by the Carrolles' scuffling outside the courtroom, saw nothing special about the case itself.

Now there is.

Brooklyn believes that reporters can't wait to interview him, and he can guess the question:

Judge Brooklyn, is your punishment too severe?

"I don't want to threaten the person with punishment. For me, it's the same for any client sitting in the courtroom. ”

This time Brooklyn's reassurance didn't work, and little Orn hugged him by the neck and looked vigorously at the crying Kent.

Nelly is a child coaxer, but she has to take notes, and she has no time to care about Kent.

Seeing this, Brooklyn put Orn down, and Orn looked up at Brooklyn, then trotted over to Nelly and stretched out his hand—

"Oh, I heard your name is Orn, you must be the best brother."

Nelly handed Kent to Orn and touched his head with a smile.

With Orn holding Kent, Kent's cries magically faded and finally stopped.

"But I must remind you, and the parties who may sit in my court in the future, that children are my bottom line."

"Tigers are fierce, but they don't eat their own young."

"Whoever does something to hurt a child in my courtroom, I will do something that hurts him, and I use his methods to hurt him."

"From the beginning of this case to the present, the prosecution and defense have been playing videos, beating and insulting each other, but they have never mentioned Little Orn and Little Kent. In the appeal of both parties, the custody of the little Orn brothers was also pushed to each other. ”

"Tell us why."

Usually in matrimonial cases, the custody of the child is the focus of the contention between the parties, and sometimes one party will even prefer to give up the property dispute and hold the custody in their hands.

In this case, however, the Carrolls were concerned about custody.

"Your Excellency, I love Orn and Kenta, I really do, but I don't even know if they are my children."

Mr. Carroll was the first to speak.

Brooklyn glanced at Mr. Carroll and turned his gaze to Mrs. Carroll.

"I have a paternity test report from an authoritative agency here." Mrs. Carroll handed over both reports to her lawyer.

"Your Excellency, Judge."

The lawyer said after submitting the appraisal report

"Our client, taking into account the possible actions of the defendants, sent the hair of the three to the relevant agencies before the trial, and it was confirmed that Aoun and Kent were indeed related to the defendant Mr. Carroll."

As soon as he had finished speaking, Mr. Carroll stood up—and he seemed to realize that he had hired a piece of firewood, and simply skipped the lawyer.

"In the evidence video I handed over to the court, the person who cheated on this person is my brother, how do I know if this appraisal report is reliable?"

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the auditorium.

Cheating is actually a very common phenomenon in the Federation, but it is the first time that he has said it so blatantly, and it is his brother cheating on his wife.

Brooklyn tapped the gavel lightly, and the scene returned to silence.

He glanced at Orn, who was staring at him, and summoned Bob.

"Bob, take Orn and Kent outside, I don't think this whole trial is for minors."

Bob agreed, saying, "Maybe we'll be on the adult channel together, oh my!" Mary will kill me! ”

When Orn and Kent leave, the trial continues.

"He's lying!"

Mrs. Carroll got up, pointed fiercely at Mr. Carroll, and shouted aloud

"It's him! He was the one who asked his brother to come! ”

"His brother told me he liked it!"

"You sent me to that club first!" Not to be outdone, Mr. Carroll shouted at his wife

"You tricked me into signing a waiver agreement, paying them on a regular basis, and letting them torment me! Distort my personality! ”

What happened to the couple was an eye-opener for Brooklyn.

Not only Brooklyn, but also looking at the expressions of everyone present, it is obvious that many people have never heard of these things.
