The jury was officially established, and Brooklyn again thanked the members who were not selected or made to the alternate jury, the bailiffs saw them off, and the door to Courtroom 9 was closed again.

DuangDuang！

"Case No. 017-EDNY09-084, Prosecution v. Monrika Russell, Second Degree Arson, Was the Defendant Present?"

Monrika was much more well-behaved than last time, and as soon as Brooklyn mentioned her name, she immediately reflexively stood up, her muscles tensed, she looked around, and chewed bubblegum at least twice as fast.

Brooklyn nodded, read out the order of the trial according to the script, and announced the formal trial.

Jerry buttoned up, got up and walked to the jury, bowing slightly to the jury.

"This is undoubtedly a heinous case of retaliatory arson."

Jerry first characterizes the case, and then tells the whole story of how the case has developed.

"At around 11 a.m. on December 24, 2017, the defendant came to the GOOD fast food restaurant with a number of people. From the records of the waiter and the owner of the fast food restaurant, it can be seen that the defendant was very familiar with the GOOD fast food restaurant and had visited it many times. ”

"We found the hard drive in the rubble where the surveillance footage was stored and managed to recover part of the footage, through which we could see that the GOOD fast food restaurant was decorating the store, and as we all know, the next day was Christmas."

"During the decoration, a letter balloon floated away and landed on the defendant's table, and then the defendant and the waiter got into an argument."

"During the dispute, the boss arrived and was pushed down by a group of defendants, and then a group of defendants left, and at the door, we noticed that the defendants had turned back to warn."

"At around 8 p.m., the defendant and the group of people in the morning began to wander around the GOOD fast food restaurant and smashed the glass of the fast food restaurant with stones and other things."

"At around 9:40, a fire broke out at the GOOD fast food restaurant, passers-by called the police, and when the firefighters arrived, the GOOD fast food restaurant had burned down, and when the police arrived, they caught the party wandering around."

"Based on the recovered video of the GOOD fast food restaurant, the confessions of the owner and employees of the fast food restaurant, and the restored materials of the scene provided by the police, we believe that this is a case of revenge arson."

"The defendant took revenge on the owner of the GOOD fast food restaurant by setting fire to the fire over the morning altercation."

After Jerry finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the jury seat again and returned to the plaintiff's bench.

This was followed by Tom.

"My client is innocent."

"Everything is the conjecture and inference of the other party."

"My client did take revenge on the GOOD fast food restaurant, and I mentioned in the other party's account that she threw stones at the fast food restaurant with her companions."

"In addition, the other party has no evidence that our client was clearly present at the scene of the crime during the fire."

"In the end, after the incident, my client's companions were called to the police station, and the police interrogated them, and their interrogation records can be used as proof that my client is not a suspect in arson."

Tom said it upside down, but fortunately he got all the points he had to say.

"Is there anything else you need to add?"

Brooklyn asked around, and saw that Tom and Jerry had given up on adding more, so he announced that he would enter the evidence stage.

"Your Excellency, we apply for exhibits No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, which are part of the restored surveillance video, which can prove that the defendant did have a dispute with the GOOD fast food restaurant and had a motive to commit the crime."

After Brooklyn nodded in agreement, the big screen was brought up again.

It is said that this digital screen was newly purchased only last year, and the court used a home television to broadcast the video before.

Bob was already skilled in his movements, and the footage was played out quickly.

Basically similar to Jerry's description, in the picture, a group of six people enter the GOOD fast food restaurant, and Monrica and the other two also greet the owner separately.

After ordering, the six of them sat around a table, as if discussing something. From time to time, Monrica turned around and shouted at the clerk, who was stepping on a stool and sticking balloons.

Then a balloon broke away from the clerk's control and fluttered in front of Monrika, who waved her hand, and the balloon flew up again, swayed and landed on the plate, and exploded.

The six seemed unprepared, startled by the explosion of the balloon, and splashed a lot of soup and water on their bodies.

After reacting, six people rushed up and surrounded the clerk.

Then the shopkeeper came out, as if to apologize, but was pushed to the ground, and the pusher seemed to want to go up and kick twice, but was stopped by Mon Likara.

Six people leave the fast-food restaurant.

This is the end of the picture.

Because this is a restored video, the hard disk has long been deformed and damaged in the high temperature scorching, so the picture quality of the video is very poor, and the people in the picture, only Monrika is colorful and green, which is very easy to identify.

"Through the video, we can see that there was a conflict between the defendant and the GOOD fast food restaurant, and even a conflict at one point. This is most likely the cause of the defendant's arson. ”

Jerry said.

"Impossible!"

Tom immediately retorted, so loud that it scared the sleepy Brooklyn.

"In the video, we can see that someone is going to continue to attack the owner of the GOOD fast food restaurant, but it is my party who stops him. She didn't even want to be beaten, how could she set fire to a fast food restaurant? ”

Jerry was about to say more, and Brooklyn hurriedly rang the gavel.

"This is not a wet market, this is a courtroom."

"Prosecutor Jerry, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"It's not a debate, it's a supplement!"

Brooklyn emphasized.

Jerry glanced at Tom reluctantly and shook his head.

"The defense adduces evidence."

Brooklyn immediately waved at Jerry to sit down, and then said to Tom.

He really didn't know how the expected fierce and wonderful cross-examination would become so boring and sleepy in the hands of two rookies?

In Brooklyn's view, both the prosecution and the defense handled this case very well, it was the prosecution that directly went to the evidence and nailed the defendant, and the defense directly grabbed the alibi and refuted the prosecution.

Why start with a morning argument?

Why don't you start with Pangu opening the sky, Nuwa creating people and Houyi shooting the sun?

"I have to warn both sides." After thinking about it, before the defendant presented the evidence, Brooklyn said, "This is the courtroom, and you are defending your respective parties." ”

"Not at an after-dinner tea party at grandma's."

"At least the IQ of the jury bench, the auditorium, and the judge's bench is normal, and we don't need to start with Genesis."

There was a good-natured laugh in the courtroom.

People who often go to court can see that Tom and Jerry are novices, and they are inevitably a little nervous.

Originally, everyone was dissatisfied with their performance.

Because of the high similarity between the Monrika arson case and the Emma arson case, the interval between the occurrence is extremely short, and I heard that the suspects in the two cases still know each other, and the two cases are hyped up together in the south.

Although the Emma case has attracted most of the attention due to the campaigns of the two organizations, the Monrica case has not been lightly discussed in the light of the Emma case.

People are sitting on their knees, preparing to listen to a good play, but it turns out that two apprentices are singing on stage?

Of course, everyone has reason to be dissatisfied.

But that frustration was dispelled in a joking warning from Brooklyn.

People who often go to court know that when they encounter this kind of rookie, they just feel awkward when they are listening, and it is really torture for the judge.
