Chapter 84, Big Luck or Doesn't Work?
"Accept."
Brooklyn nodded, then added
"But the court would like to remind Prosecutor Wood Ward that please save everyone's time and try to avoid unnecessary repetition."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Wood Ward replied with a serious face, and stood aside waiting for the bailiff.
He submitted six pieces of evidence at once, including video and physical objects, which were also related to each other, which needed to be arranged by the bailiff.
Bob grinned, moved the big screen with two other colleagues, connected it, and went to Wood Ward with the remote control to teach him how to use it.
Wood Ward listened intently, interrupting Bob without saying a word, until Bob finished speaking, asking him if he remembered, and then he nodded slightly.
When everything was ready, Wood Ward played the courthouse's surveillance footage.
The timestamp in the footage shows that it was the time when Brooklyn first met Monrika.
In the picture, Brooklyn has just come out of the courtroom and is talking to the people around her, when a colorful girl rushes out of the crowd and pounces on Brooklyn.
The two bailiffs were startled and quickly stopped Monrika, who struggled and yelled at Brooklyn with a hideous expression and hatred on her face, and was dragged away.
This is the end of the picture.
The entire video is less than a minute.
"This is the footage taken by E.D.N.Y's surveillance on December 19, 2017, the day the Red Devil Hahn was sentenced to death, and the day Monrika Russell first stepped into the public eye."
Wood Ward explained, took out a USB drive and inserted it, selected a folder labeled 'Evidence No. 001 005', and showed it to everyone in turn.
"That's some of the information I've collected online."
"This is a video of the clash that was recorded by someone in the crowd of onlookers that day."
"This is also true, but the owner of this video should have turned on his mobile phone to record after the conflict broke out, and he only recorded the second half of the conflict."
"These are some of the comments under the video"
On the screen, screenshots are played.
"These can prove that the conflict between Monrika Russell and His Excellency Judge Brooklyn that day was indeed a fact, and that it took place in public and in the presence of many people."
He made a summary, then opened the file labeled 'Evidence 002-004'.
"In order to facilitate the jury and the auditorium, with the permission of the police and the court, I entered part of the information and transformed it into a digital situation, and the content of the data was reviewed by the police and the court, and it was completely consistent with the original information, with no modifications or discrepancies."
He first showed the permission documents and the examination documents of the court and the police before starting to present the evidence.
"This is the trial file of case No. 017-EDNY09-084, please see this line."
"According to the file record, 'The defendant has pleaded not guilty, and in view of the defendant's several contempts of court, a fine of $1,000 and no bail was imposed!' ”
"This is a record of Monrika Russell's bail request being denied, and the suspect will be temporarily held in police custody during the trial when the bail request is denied and the court expressly prohibits bail."
"And that's exactly what happened."
"This is the record of the criminal detention and detention of the police detention room on that day, look at this line."
"Monrika Russell."
"This is a screenshot of the surveillance footage from the detention cell."
"These photos can clearly see the suspect's face, and compared with Monrika Russell, they have a high degree of similarity, and can be identified as Monrika Russell herself."
Speaking of which, Wood Ward unexpectedly showed a video appraisal report!
"In this one, we can see that Monrika Russell has no remorse for what she did."
"All the way up to this one. Monrika Russell has visitors. ”
"This visitor is none other than our suspect accused, Emma Gilson!"
After the presentation, Wood Ward did not summarize, he just nodded slightly at the jury and judge's bench, popped out the USB drive, unplugged it, put it in his bag, returned to his seat and sat down, and unbuttoned it......
"Does the defense have any questions about evidence 1-6 presented by the prosecution?"
Brooklyn asked.
Dona looked strange and stood up and shook her head, "No, Your Excellency. ”
"We agree with the prosecution's evidence 1-6 and with the prosecution's argument that there is a real conflict between you and Monrika Russell."
Donna even thoughtfully summed up Wood Ward.
"However, we believe that this evidence is evidence in other cases and has nothing to do with this case."
Brooklyn nodded, noncommittal to Dona's words.
He read the contempt in Dona's demeanor tone. She's belittling Wood Ward.
Brooklyn is amused by this.
Take it lightly, and when Wood gets up and the wheels roll forward and run over your face unstoppably, you can lie down and despise it!
Originally, Brooklyn didn't see the Emma case very clearly, but now it seems that the prosecution has a good chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Brooklyn's heart moved: Could it be that Wood deliberately showed weakness?
But this idea was quickly dispelled when he saw Wood sitting precariously.
Are you kidding? Will Wood use a trick?
"Before the defense submits the evidence, I emphasize again, please try to be concise when presenting and cross-examining evidence, and please don't let it become lengthy and increase the burden on everyone."
Brooklyn looked at Wood Ward as if in warning, emphasizing.
"Your Excellency Judge, I would like to ...... you"
Donna paused and continued
"Evidence No. 1 and 2 are hereby submitted, as well as the social software and part of the chat history between Emma Gilson and Monrika Russell."
"They can prove that my client, Emma Gilson and Monrika Russell, are just ordinary friends, and there is no possibility of joint crime."
Obviously, Donna was caught off guard by the string of irrelevant evidence presented by Wood Ward, and for a moment she didn't know whether to follow the other party's train of thought or defend herself according to her own train of thought.
In a normal trial, the order of evidence submitted by the prosecution and defense will be slightly adjusted, and after the other party raises a question and confirms it, the other party will submit corresponding evidence to refute it.
In this way, both parties will argue on the same issue, which will improve the efficiency of the trial and strengthen the jury's memory.
But the evidence that Wood Ward came up to claim was completely irrefutable, and what he was trying to prove seemed to have nothing to do with the case, and Donna did not prepare the corresponding evidence at all.
Now, Donna had to go her own way of presenting evidence, but that would create a sense of absurdity, as if each side was saying their own thing, and she wasn't responding to the arguments made by the other.
The practice of actively avoiding the other party, refusing to continue to entangle with the other party on the same issue, and choosing to open up a new 'battlefield' usually occurs only in two situations:
First, the issue has been clearly debated and is indisputable.
The second is that you are at a loss, and if you continue to entangle, you will expose your weaknesses and need to divert your attention.
In either case, the side that avoids the war is already a head weaker in momentum.
Thinking about this, Dona put away her contempt.
