Emma's parents expressed a strong desire to supervise, and solemnly stated in court that they would exercise guardianship and supervise everything during Emma's trial.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Brooklyn has already made up its mind. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke

"Although the parents of the defendant Emma Gilson expressed a strong desire for custody and assured that Emma would not cause harm during the trial, there is a certain controversy over Emma Gilson's custody considering the custody transfer agreement provided by the defendant."

He rolled the protocol into a cylinder again and tapped on the table.

"On the other hand, Emma Gilson had committed a crime during the exercise of custody by her parents, which proved that her parents were not resolute in exercising custody of Emma, and the court could not be satisfied that the same thing would not happen again."

"And there is a dispute over the true age of Emma Gilson, the party in this case, and the opinions of her guardian are only of reference value."

"Based on the wishes and attitudes of the defendant Emma Gilson, the court made a decision not to grant bail."

DuangDuang！

The sound of the gavel means that the ruling will take effect immediately.

The ruling caused a slight uproar, but the commotion quickly subsided.

The amount of bail represents the judge's attitude towards the defendant, and now Brooklyn has directly ruled that bail is not allowed, which means that the Brooklyn judge's attitude towards the defendant is not friendly, very unfriendly!

"Both the original defendants are requested to submit a list of evidence to the court within 10 days, that is, before January 23, 2018."

"On January 25, 2018, 12 days later, at 9 a.m., the jury selection will take place in this courtroom. If the court session is postponed or brought forward during this period, the court will notify you separately. ”

DuangDuangDuang！！！

The original defendant and the defendant left the table and quickly walked away.

But the people in the auditorium did not move, because there was a second 'play' to be seen.

Ten minutes later, another delinquent teenage girl was brought into the courtroom.

Tom and Jerry sat at opposite ends.

Five minutes later, the courtroom doors closed, and Brooklyn was much more solemn than he had behaved with ease.

He cleared his throat and spoke

"The selection of jury members for the case of Prosecution v. Monrika Russell, second-degree arson, case No. 017-EDNY09-084."

"With the consent of the parties, case No. 017-EDNY09-084 adopts a jury system, and the whole trial is open to the public, and candidate jury members are invited to enter."

The door opened, and 30 men, women, and children entered the jury in an orderly manner under the guidance of the bailiff.

Brooklyn bowed slightly at the jury seat.

"Thank you to all of the jury candidates for their participation in the trial of case 017-EDNY09-084 and for fulfilling the support of federal citizens for the work of E.D.N.Y."

"The members of the jury candidates are openly recruited by the E.D.N.Y, selected exclusively at random from among the legal citizens of the Commonwealth, and signed an agreement guaranteeing the principles of openness, impartiality and voluntariness."

"Candidate jury members, before the selection of jury members begins, please clarify once again the responsibilities and obligations of participating in the trial of case No. 017-EDNY09-084 as a jury member."

Bob took out 30 copies of the agreement and distributed them to the prospective jury members.

"In view of the special nature of this case, the jury will arrange room and board for the whole process during the trial of the case, and it is strictly forbidden to have contact with the outside world, and any relevant information related to the case will be leaked to the outside world, and the violators will be held legally responsible."

Brooklyn read the contents of the agreement one by one, and the jury candidates read it with their heads bowed and holding the agreement, some looking serious, some looking impatient, some regretful, and some looking at Monrika.

When everyone signed the agreement, Brooklyn rang the gavel.

"Case No. 017-EDNY09-084, Prosecution v. Monrika Russell, second-degree arson, could face a minimum sentence of six years in prison if convicted."

Therefore, in this jury selection, the prosecution has the right to make 6 no-cause selections, and the defendant has the right to make 10 no-cause selections. Gentlemen, you may begin. ”

There are a total of 30 candidate juries, and the two sides have made a total of 16 selections without cause, and the formal jury requirement is 7, which means that the reserve jury is at least 7 members, which is completely enough to change the formal jury.

Different lawyers have different preferences for jury selection.

The ATC used to play a little trick of sifting through repeated questions, which was exactly what former Brooklyn hated.

Ben Stone likes to be honest and reliable, and according to Brooklyn, Ben Stone also likes older people.

But no matter who it is, no matter how strange the selection method is, as long as he is still a qualified lawyer, he is inseparable from one fundamental problem - jury representation.

As long as it is a group, there will be a leader, and others will be closer to listening to the leader.

This leader will have a huge impact on the jury and has always been a contention between the original defendant and the defendant.

Judges are also more inclined to give this responsibility to the leader when selecting jury representatives.

Of course, getting the leader who conforms to the temperament of the other party and keeping the leader who conforms to the temperament of the other party is one of the important confrontations in the selection of jurors.

Jerry's eyes have been roaming the crowd since the jury candidates came in, and he took the lead in identifying a few people through a series of methods such as the small movements of the crowd when discussing the agreement and the order in which the agreement was signed.

He didn't touch these people, but first used the gratuitous right to choose to exclude a few young women.

Of the 30 jury candidates, it was not a man, a middle-aged married mother, who was married and had children, but a young woman, who sympathized with Monrika Russell and even believed that she should be acquitted.

Jerry ruthlessly excludes these people, and then, of course, Tom is opposed.

Unfortunately, this was chosen for no reason, and Tom's objection did not take effect.

When it was Tom's turn to pick, he retaliated by sifting out a few of Jerry's longer members, and then ordered a few more young males, making Brooklyn shake his head.

The two are still going back and forth, but Brooklyn has already expected the result.

The final winner of this pick should be Jerry.

Jerry's selection was extremely targeted, as he took the lead in excluding members who clearly sided with the defense, while carefully observing and making eye contact with each member to judge the member's position.

However, he spends too much time in front of several members who are not very judgmental, which creates a strange illusion for Tom, who are excluded by Tom instead.

Tom, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to it at all, except for the three young women on the surface, and after they were eliminated by Jerry, he was emotional, and cleverly eliminated several members with ambiguous attitudes and helped Jerry make a decision.

Brooklyn doesn't even know whether to call him stupid or Monrika stupid.

A total of 16 unprovoked selections did not take long, and soon, there were only 10 members left on the field.

The four fewer than expected were eliminated because in the subsequent selection process, these four members met the reasons for elimination and were therefore eliminated.
