The trial on the 25th came to an end for the time being, and the two sides still did not decide the winner.

According to the list of evidence, there is not much evidence left on both sides, and Brooklyn expects that it should be clear tomorrow.

With this feeling of anticipation or relief, Brooklyn adjourned the court and returned to the inner court.

There is still half an hour to get off work.

"Hey."

In the crowded hallway, Ben Stone stopped Lola.

"Lady Lola."

He reached out and shook Lola's hand, but he didn't say a word.

Lola understood, turned around and told Monrica something, watched as Monrica was taken away by the prison guards, and then followed Ben Stone to a remote corner.

"Five years."

Ben Stone said directly.

"Although we can't get the live footage, everyone knows that it was Monrica who did it. If she pleads guilty, we will consider recommending that the judge sentence be sentenced to five years. ”

Lola shook her head, pulled out a box of ladies cigarettes from her bag, thought about it, and put it back again.

"Monrika will be acquitted."

"Come on." Ben Stone shook his head, "There's no way she's going to be acquitted." The available evidence alone was enough for the jury to presume her guilt. ”

"Most importantly, she offended the judge."

Ben Stone pointed upstairs, "You should have known what she did to her judges." ”

"She has apologized to Judge Brooklyn."

In the face of the pressure exerted by Ben Stone, Lola remained calm and did not panic at all.

Ben Stone was brought out of Brooklyn at this time in order to put pressure on Lola and suggest that the judge was against her.

"An apology doesn't solve everything." Ben Stor's last person who was going to beat him in court had just been detained for 10 additional days and fined $1,000. ”

"Lola, you know what that means, right?"

"Once the normal trial process is over, based on the available evidence, the jury will most likely find her guilty, and once she is found guilty, even if she is a minor, I don't think our Brooklyn judge will give her a lenient sentence."

"Five years is already a good choice."

Ben Stone persuaded.

Lola pulled out the lady's cigarette again, took out one and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, the cigarette between her fingers, and smiled at Ben Stone.

Ben Stone's persuasion sounds seamless and logical.

He first proved to Jerry that the Brooklyn judge would not spare those who had offended him, and then based on this, he logically deduced that Monrika would be sentenced to a long prison sentence.

Sounds reasonable!

But Lola won't be blindsided by him.

All of Ben Stone's 'logical self-consistency' is based on the fact that Judge Brooklyn will not spare those who have offended him, and that Judge Brooklyn's personal emotional inclinations will override the place of justice and law in his heart.

"I've compiled the cases you've represented, Prosecutor Ben Stone." Lola didn't respond immediately, instead choosing to start a different topic.

"Of the nearly 1,000 cases you have represented in the past, only 147 cases have you chosen to cross-examine using inferential conclusions, and of those 147 cases, a whopping 108 have been acquitted. Of the remaining 39 cases, 23 opted to sign plea bargains, and only 16 were ultimately convicted. ”

"Just now in court, you used the inferential conclusion, Judge Ben Stone."

"That means I have a 73.5 percent chance of winning, a 15.6 percent chance of getting a lighter sentence, and just a 10.9 percent chance of losing."

"If I have a good chance of winning, why should I have my client serve a five-year sentence?"

Lola returns the favor with her own way, throwing an identical logic trap at Ben Stone with her backhand.

Her logic seems equally seamless, and she speaks with data, with a wealth of tangible statistics that sound more credible than Ben Stone's theory of inferential human nature.

But the basis of all her logic is a thing that is not certain in itself - Ben Stone's defense strategy.

By counting all the cases in which a person has participated in the past, and then analyzing a pattern of the person's victory, this method may work, and the pattern may indeed be summarized.

But this rule is certainly not a 'use of inferential conclusions'.

Statistics are reliable, math doesn't lie, but some statistics are useless.

"3 years." Ben Stone understood what Lola meant, and immediately changed his tune

"Three years is our bottom line."

"8 months." Lola snuffed out her cigarette and said 'bargain'

"She's just a minor, and society should be tolerant of her."

"Tolerance is not the same as condoning her criminal behavior, Lola. For 3 years, I can't make concessions. ”

Ben Stone didn't give an inch.

Lola stared at him for a moment, looked down at the time, and spoke

"Let's go to the inner court to find Judge Brooklyn, and I need a DPA agreement."

Lola and Ben Stone looked at each other and said slowly

"About Emma Gilson."

……………………

Inner Courtyard, Brooklyn Office.

He was fully dressed and ready to rush into the elevator in 3 minutes, get in the car and meet David's partner Pol's wife to see the house together.

Ray's training was almost over, and for the convenience of going to work, he decided to share the housing payment with Brooklyn.

With Ray on board, Brooklyn's budget was suddenly much looser.

On the 23rd, Pol's wife called him and told him that there were several suitable houses and asked them to make an appointment to visit them together.

They made an appointment today.

Just as Brooklyn is in a good mood and ready to leave work, Ben Stone arrives with Lola and spoils his good mood.

"There are 2 minutes and 40 seconds to get off work, ma'am, sir, if you have anything to say in 2 minutes and 35 seconds?"

Brooklyn said as he pinched his watch, but he had already put down his bag, took off his coat, and sat back in his chair.

He knew in his heart that lawyers and prosecutors would not disturb the judge's rest without special reasons.

Especially his 'careful' judge.

Last night, ABC TV broadcast the news that he had fined a young prosecutor.

According to the news: A rising star in New York's judicial circles, Brooklyn judge, is suspected of targeting a young and promising prosecutor in recent days. The prosecutor resolutely resisted because he did not obey the "repressive rule" of the Brooklyn judge and "fought for freedom of speech" "without fear of power".

Eventually, the young prosecutor was detained for seven days by an angry Brooklyn judge for contempt of court and hatred of the judge.

If the matter ends here, the ruling is still within the scope of understanding, because the prosecutor has good intentions, but it is a court after all, and the judge has inviolable and absolute authority, and if you offend the authority of the judge, you must be prepared to be punished, just as a slave in the Middle Ages could not offend his master.

But two days later, things took a new turn.

The Brooklyn judge again increased the severity by extending the seven days to 17 days and imposing an additional $1,000 fine.

This is clearly the anger of the Brooklyn judge!

At the end of the report, he was called a 'stingy guy' and a 'careful-eyed judge' by the ABC host.

The day after reading the news, Brooklyn commissioned a law firm to send a lawyer's letter to ABC and the host.
