Chapter 87: What Logic Is This?
The truth is much as Brooklyn expected.
When Dona cross-examined, she poured most of her firepower into relevance.
She didn't even touch the evidence itself, she tried to nullify Wood's entire evidence process.
"Of all the evidence adduced by Mr. Wood Ward, only the photograph shows my client, Emma Gilson, who is related to my client. The other exhibits are not even relevant to my client, let alone to this case. ”
"Your Excellency, in my opinion, all the evidence presented by the other side in this round should not be admissible. They are not relevant to the present case. ”
"Your Excellency, Judge." Wood got up after Brooklyn asked loudly.
"In Exhibit 007, Emma Gilson and Monrika Russell distribute flyers together, which shows that their relationship is not ordinary friends."
“Objection!”
"Inference! It's just your reasoning! ”
"When two high school classmates participate in social organizations together, are they necessarily planning something?"
Dona's question is sharp and goes straight to the heart of Wood's chain of evidence.
So far, all he has provided is circumstantial evidence, and the relevance to the case needs to be inferred, and it is impossible to draw conclusions based on the evidence alone.
This is his biggest weakness at this stage. It is also the biggest weakness of his defense method.
"The opposition is valid!"
Brooklyn quickly ruled "Wood, you've got to come up with evidence." It's not just a guesswork. ”
"Okay, do the parties have anything to add to the evidence No. 007-010 submitted by the prosecution?"
Brooklyn asked around, but no one answered.
He looked at the time, and it was almost time to get off work.
"Get here today, and the court will start at 9 a.m. tomorrow."
Duang!
After the gavel was sounded and the adjournment was announced, Brooklyn held the file and beckoned Bob and Nelly to return to the inner court together.
Back in the inner court, Brooklyn didn't immediately go home from work, but turned on the computer and began to read the news.
His trial was broadcast live by many media, and as the afternoon passed, public opinion had already given initial feedback.
Automatically filtering out the diode speech of mere praise/abuse, Brooklyn rummaged through useful reviews.
The outside reaction was not optimistic for Wood.
The audience wasn't Brooklyn and didn't know anything about Wood, they only knew that Wood was being beaten by Donna in the courtroom, and he was embarrassed and looked helpless.
Not only those who support Emma Gilson on the Internet mock him, but even those who support the prosecution are also scolding.
They believe that Wood Ward is an incompetent man, beaten by a woman, and the lawsuit that should have been won is going in an unpredictable direction.
It's all Wood Ward's pot!
I heard that Trial Judge Brooklyn Lee knew him?
Tar someone with the same brush!
Why don't you help him?
[Why didn't Judge Brooklyn help the prosecution?] 】
When Brooklyn saw this comment, he was stunned.
This is one of the comments with the highest number of likes and replies on the ABC website, under the column of Emma Gilson's case.
[I checked their backgrounds, these two people are graduates of Harvard Law School [photo] [picture] [picture], the two in the middle of the celebration in picture 1 are Brooklyn Lee and Wood Ward, and the two and three are pictures of them speaking as student representatives. 】
[It is worthy of being a classmate of the college, they are all raccoon dogs! ] 】
[Can't you? I've seen Judge Brooklyn hear that he's known as the rising star of New York justice, and he's very stern but sometimes gentle. It's not as bad as you say, is it? 】
[It's not simple, collect the money]
As a result, public opinion shifted from 'this prosecutor is really a thing' to 'Why didn't Judge Brooklyn help the prosecution?' And quickly from 'Why didn't Judge Brooklyn help the prosecution?' Turned into 'Brooklyn bribery.'"
Brooklyn blinked, not reacting for a moment.
He is not very good at illogical thinking.
He believes that the vast majority of people are not good at illogical thinking. Because normal people live in a logical world, people can't see '1+1=? The Big Bang comes to mind, not 2.
But what is now being shown is that most people are thinking of the Big Bang, not the correct answer '2'.
Is it child advocacy and the death penalty group, or is it the New York State legislator?
At this point in time, Brooklyn is a bit of a thief.
From the point of view of time, it is unlikely that this kind of prepared public opinion guidance will be done by the two organizations.
The trial had only ended for half an hour, and they had no way of predicting what would happen during the trial.
The logic in the non-logical thinking presented by public opinion is too smooth.
But thinking of the two organization leaders who showed indifference to the trial, and the ability of the two organizations to manipulate public opinion before the trial, Brooklyn did not dare to draw conclusions easily.
"Do you want to eat?"
Bob asked.
He shrugged his shoulders when he saw that Brooklyn and Nellie were looking over.
"Mary just called and said she was taking her son to a school event and asked me to figure out the dinner myself."
"Oh! You're miserable, Bob! ”
Nelly said sympathetically, shaking her head to reject Bob's suggestion.
"After finishing today's trial record, I'm going back to change into a beautiful dress, I told him okay, I'll send the kids to grandpa's house after school, today is our date day!"
Bob looked at Brooklyn pleadingly.
“come on!”
"You're not going on a date too, are you?"
Brooklyn shook her head, goosebumps falling to the ground in horror from Bob's pitiful eyes.
He quickly turned off the computer, got up and threw the robe to Bob, grabbed the coat and draped it over his body, grabbed the file bag at the speed of light, turned into the Flash, and rushed out of the office with a puff of smoke.
"I made an appointment with Ray to go and see the house."
"Haven't you already seen it!"
Bob shouted reluctantly behind him.
It's a pity that Brooklyn can't hear anymore.
He was out at a good time and was just in time to get the elevator down.
He slipped into the elevator with palpitations, and was not relieved until the elevator fell smoothly.
"Brooklyn?"
The next moment, a voice rang out from behind him, causing Brooklyn to freeze in place.
"How's the trial?"
Michael asked with concern.
"The first day, it's only half a day, what can I do."
Brooklyn's brain was racing at high speed, analyzing Michael's sudden concern about Emma's case, but there was no indication on his face. He shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Would you like to have a drink?"
Michael sends out the invitation.
"No, thank you."
Brooklyn decisively refused.
Michael didn't say anything more, and Brooklyn kept silent.
There was silence in the elevator, a little awkward.
