Chapter 86, Mistakes? Disorders?

"The defense can come up with 10,000 reasons to answer my question at any time, and I really can't prove it."

Wood took advantage of the victory, put down the binding, and said calmly

"But we all know who is more realistic."

β€œObjection!”

"Subjective speculation! Inferential Statements! ”

"Your Excellency! He was making his guesses the whole time, is this also allowed? ”

Enraged, Donna pointed at Wood and questioned Brooklyn.

"Objections are invalid!"

In a big surprise, Brooklyn ruled invalid.

"But I must warn you, Wood, and the jury, that what you have presented is not factual evidence, and it is of limited strength. Hearsay testimony is for reference only. ”

"Defense, do you have anything to add?"

Dona nodded and spoke directly

"I just want to remind you that Emma Gilson is Christian, and so are her parents, and Emma Gilson grew up in a parish environment." [Note 1]

"Your Excellency, Judge."

As soon as Dona finished speaking, Wood Ward buttoned up again.

"Your Excellency, I also have points that need to be added."

"Say it."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Wood Ward thanked Brooklyn with a straight look, and then retorted to Dona

"Sex is sinless."

"What their children are going to do and what they are going through, I think every parent of a high school student knows it.

It's not about faith or identity. ”

Dona immediately got up to retort, and Wood got up immediately after Dona retorted and retorted again.

The two of them went back and forth, and soon the topic deviated from the main point, shifting from Emma Gilson's character to religious beliefs and religious aspects such as whether the believers were correct in obeying the rules and whether the rules needed to be changed.

The two argued with reason, did not give an inch, and quarreled.

The spectators listened with relish, and their eyes lit up.

Brooklyn had to hammer the gavel to interrupt the argument between the two.

"Evidence No. 1-2 provided by the defense is currently controversial to prove Emma Gilson's character evidence, and the court believes that the reasons given by the prosecution are not sufficient to prove that evidence No. 1-2 is false, so evidence No. 1-2 provided by the defense has certain validity."

After a pause, Brooklyn said to Wood, "Wood, you need to come up with solid evidence." ”

Wood Ward nodded reluctantly and kept silent.

"Please continue to present evidence."

Wood Ward got up, buttoned up, and didn't seem to be emotionally affected.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Judge, we are ready to submit evidence No. 7-10."

"They are leaflets from the Anti-Death Penalty Group, photographs of Monrika Russell and Emma Gilson distributing leaflets, and two testimonies from some members of the Anti-Death Penalty Group."

"They can confirm that Monrika Russell and Emma Gilson are not just ordinary friends."

"Honorable judge, can the court accept this evidence as evidence in this case?"

"Accept."

As Brooklyn finished speaking, Wood was already in the open space in front of the judge's bench, pulling out a crumpled flyer and showing it to each member of the jury in turn.

He didn't speak until the last juror had seen it.

"This is the flyer I mentioned. Leaflets printed and distributed by organizations opposing the death penalty with dozens of private messages about the Brooklyn judge's phone number, email address, home address, work address, and more. ”

Wood put down the flyer, returned to the big screen, dropped his USB drive back, clicked on the folder signed 'Evidence 008', and enlarged the photos inside.

In the photo, two girls dressed in colorful clothes are carrying school bags and holding a thick stack of leaflets in their hands, handing them out to the crowd.

"This is a photo of Monrika Russell and Emma Gilson being captured handing out flyers at the subway station."

Wood explains: "There are many more similar photos. ”

He played the photos one by one, and almost all of them showed Monrica and Emma handing out flyers at different times and places.

It wasn't until the last one was played that Wood clicked on 'Evidence 009'.

"This transcript is from a member of the anti-death penalty group, and we obtained permission from the other party to make a recording before obtaining this record, but for the personal safety of this member, we have converted the recording into a transcript."

Wood explained, displaying the transcript on the big screen.

This is an explanation of how to recruit new members and organize activities within the anti-death penalty organization, which seems to have been in the anti-death penalty organization for a long time and knows almost everything about it.

"This record shows how strongly Monrika Russell and Emma Gilson hated the pro-death penalty judge Brooklyn at the deliberate instigation of anti-death penalty groups."

Wood explained passionately, but Brooklyn's thoughts were already drifting away.

He doesn't think well of Wood!

The quality of evidence prepared by Wood in this round is much softer than in the previous round!

Especially the last one, if that insider member was willing to testify in court, the credibility of the information he provided would skyrocket, but now he didn't dare, not only did he dare not testify in court, but he couldn't even reveal his voice, name, etc.

Who would believe the saying that 'once upon a time a man said ......'?

And Wood's focus on this round is blurred.

This is the case of Emma as the defendant, and he should put the main firepower out on Emma. But in this round of evidence, no matter how you listen to it, you feel that he is taking the anti-death penalty organization as the main firepower output point.

It's not going to work.

Even if he had eccently not interrupted Wood's speech, the defendant would have seized on this and attacked him violently.

In court hearings, in order to prove the relevant points of the case, new related events have to be introduced to prove the relevant points of the case, and indirect proof is the most difficult curve to save the country.

With that in mind, Brooklyn looked into the dock.

Donna was calm and quiet, listening carefully to Wood's arguments, writing and drawing on paper from time to time.

Emma Gilson beside her was bent on one leg and stepped on the edge of the chair, one leg drooping down, chewing bubble gum, and her head bowed and not knowing what to study.

Next to her was Ms. Nora Chesterton, the New York director of the anti-death penalty group.

As if she hadn't heard Wood, Nora ignored his accusations, her expression unchanged.

Sitting next to Nora was Serra, the New York director of a child advocacy group, who was fiddling with her phone with her head down, as if she were texting.

It can be seen from the state of the defendant's party that this round of Wood is more than lucky.
