God should have been busy and didn't hear Bob's prayers.

Throughout the 14th, Tom and Jerry were still circling around the periphery.

They are really 'professional'. It took two days to solve the remaining problems except for the four core problems of Monrika's age, the loss of video during the critical period before and after the crime, the fire scene recovery simulation, and the ignition problem.

Dizzy and listening to a belly full of nonsense, Brooklyn secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

All the peripheral issues in this case have been resolved, and the core issues should be discussed tomorrow.

Tom and Jerry once again appeared on the evening news and became the targets of the host's complaints, and their limelight even briefly overshadowed the 'concert' of the child rights protection group.

At night, David's house.

Ray returned, but he didn't seem to be in high spirits, and his face was tired, as if he had played cards all night.

Because of the case of Riley Crewe Jr., David once again chose to 'not return home at night', and there were only two people in the family, Brooklyn and Ray.

"What's wrong?"

Brooklyn asked.

Ray shook his head and munched on the pizza mechanically, looking preoccupied.

"Broken out? Or do people say you're not good at playing cards? ”

Ray glanced at Brooklyn, simply put down the pizza, and asked in a deep voice

"Blue, what do you think...... Is this normal? ”

"Is anything normal?"

Brooklyn wondered.

"This!"

Ray stood up and pointed to the TV, where the host had already complained about Tom and Jerry, who were reporting on the death of Riley Crewe.

"Is this normal?"

"A passer-by was hit by a missile while walking, and died on the spot, eight or nine hours passed, and no one found out!"

"I heard that the bullet hit him in the chest, and Riley didn't die on the spot, he crawled more than a hundred meters."

"More than a hundred meters! Blue, more than a hundred meters away from anyone to help him call! ”

"If someone called him at that time, he wouldn't have died!"

Ray said excitedly, the volume getting higher and higher.

Brooklyn put down the pizza and tilted her head in shock.

"You know him?"

"Not familiar."

Ray stiffened his neck and replied stiffly.

Uncooked?

Not familiar is knowing. One is a soldier who almost retired in disgrace, and the other is the son of a judge of the Second Circuit, how did these two people intersect?

Also, it was little Riley who died, why was Ray so excited?

When a normal person hears that someone they know is dead, they sigh and sigh at most, right?

The case of Little Riley, the facts are clear, the process is simple, and it is clear at a glance, such things happen every day in New York and even in the federal government, if the deceased did not have a father who was a judge in the Second Circuit, the media would not have time to report it.

Even if it attracts attention now, the focus of everyone's attention is Riley Crewe, it is that judges are easy to be retaliated against, how can you listen to Ray, he is more concerned about law and order issues?

Is there a law and order problem in the Federation?

"I'm sorry."

Ray also seemed to realize that he had overreacted, and apologized in frustration.

"I just...... I feel lost. ”

"Even if I was on a mission before, I could tell myself that it was for the country, but if we protect them, will they squander this protection like this?"

"We braved the rain of bullets on the battlefield, and so many comrades-in-arms sacrificed, is it because they were hit by a missile that came out of nowhere when they were walking at night?"

Ray whispered, as if asking Brooklyn, and as if asking himself.

……

……

The following day, 15 January, Courtroom No. 9.

"This is a report based on the calculations of authoritative institutions."

Tom asked for a bone age report, and finally came to one of the core issues: age.

"According to the report, the actual age of my client, Monrika Russell, is 16-18 years old, and she is a minor."

"This is consistent with the birth certificate issued by the hospital, as well as the information provided by multiple witnesses about the age of my client, Monrika."

"It can be seen that the police information provided by the other party does not match the facts."

"My client is a minor."

Tom waved the report and said categorically.

The corners of Brooklyn's mouth twitched, and she stared at Tom with caring eyes, anxious for him.

You mean! Read on!

Don't go on, it's a fart to prove that Monrica is a minor!

Don't you go on, whether Monrika is a minor has a dime to do with her arson!

You're leaning on the case!

Wasn't it quite able to rely on it before? Why did the chain fall off again at the critical moment!

No matter how anxious Brooklyn was, it couldn't stop Tom from returning to his seat with confidence, and it couldn't stop Jerry, who was also confident, from standing up and speaking.

"First of all, the bone age test can only give an approximate range."

Jerry picked up the report and talked eloquently, so confident.

"Just like the conclusion of this report, 16-18 years old. If it can accurately measure the age of the tester, why not give a specific value? ”

"Secondly, the testimony of multiple witnesses given by the other side can only show that the information they know is that Monrika Russell is 15 years old."

"That doesn't prove that Monrika Russell is actually 15 years old."

"Finally, the birth certificate of the hospital provided by the other party, this hospital is only a small clinic, and it has been closed for many years, and we believe that this certificate does not have legal effect."

"According to police information, Monrika Russell's actual age is 22 years old, and this is recognized by Monrika herself, and we believe that Monrika's actual age should be identified as 22 years old."

“Objection!”

Tom objected loudly

"Inferential conclusions! It's all speculation! Not true! ”

"The opposition is valid!"

Brooklyn has a lot of spirits, and although the two sides have gone off track, fortunately they haven't deviated too much, at least it's still within Monrika's age range.

"Your Excellency, I would like to add one more point."

Instead of sitting down, Tom continued

"The age data stored by my client at the police station has been illegally tampered with."

"We have Evidence 47, Monrika Russell's computer."

"It can prove that the police information has been modified."

Brooklyn stared at Tom with wide eyes and asked tentatively, "Do you want to talk to the prosecution before presenting evidence?" ”

"No!"

Tom's answer was categorical and unequivocal.

Brooklyn looked at Jerry, then at Monrika, whose eyes lit up with excitement, and could only nod in agreement.

At the trial, the evidence submitted by both parties must be lawfully obtained, otherwise it will be judged invalid. And this evidence is protected by law during the trial, and the parties can ask for some evidence that was obtained illegally but legally, such as unregistered firearms, analgesics without a prescription, and so on.

But that doesn't mean that these exhibits won't be held accountable!

After the use of the evidence, the law still has the right to pursue responsibility for the existence of illegal evidence.

In this case, if it can indeed be proved that Monrica used her computer to tamper with her age in the police database, the police can still hold her accountable afterwards.

Alternatively, the prosecution can submit an alternative indictment and add charges of unlawful trespass, obstruction of official business, and endangering public safety to the second-degree arson offense.

And the evidence and even the testimony that proved Monrika's guilt were handed over by herself on her own initiative.

Brooklyn looked at Monrika with sympathy.

He didn't know where Monrika got the lawyer, and he couldn't get it back.
