Chapter 98, from high morale to lying flat and mocking

Seeing that Wood Ward and Monrica had exchanged some code language, Monrica obediently shut up. Brooklyn continues to fulfill its duties.

Brooklyn took Bob's Bible, his expression a little stiff.

He glared at Bob, swapped the Bible for his left hand, and returned the glove hidden under the Bible to Bob.

"Hands on the Bible."

Brooklyn held the Bible in his hand and reminded him again

"My judge's assistant has suggested to me more than once that the court should provide a pair of gloves for witnesses, so you'd better not scratch the cover with your fingernails."

"This Bible is federal property."

Monrika Russell opened her mouth, looking unconvinced, but because of the agreement with the prosecution, she could only close her mouth, chew a few bubblegum hard, and roll her eyes at Brooklyn.

"Put your right hand upon the Bible and swear to God that to the best of His knowledge you will tell the truth and have nothing to hide."

Monrika Russell pressed her hand on top of the Bible and pressed down hard.

"I swear."

Brooklyn held the Bible in his hands, unmoving.

Joke!

Although he can't beat Ray and David, he is also an adult male!

Seeing that her little plan did not succeed, Monrika snorted twice unhappily and asked fiercely

"Okay, right?"

Brooklyn nodded and handed the Bible back to Bob.

Bob immediately hugged the Bible and carefully wiped the cover in distress.

Monrika sat down in her chair with a big grin, her eyes looking around, and soon her eyes met Emma Gilson in the dock.

One pale and haggard, one life moisturized, contrasting.

"You can start asking questions."

Brooklyn reminded.

So far, the two sides have debated the motive for committing the crime, the time of committing the crime, the means of committing the crime, and whether the defendant has the ability to commit the crime. The appearance of Monrika means that the end is not far away.

The prosecution is presiding over murder, and once convicted of murder, the remaining charges are automatically established.

"Monrika, are you good friends with defendant Emma Gilson?"

Wood Ward asked, standing in front of Monrika.

"Yes."

Monrika Russell, who had apparently been professionally instructed before going to court, was impatient, but did not speak indiscriminately.

"Emma and I have known each other since elementary school, and we are not far from each other, and we often play together."

"On the night of the fire at the GOOD fast food restaurant, the surveillance filmed someone pulling you away, is that person Emma Gilson?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. ”

"On the night of the fire at the GOOD fast food restaurant, the surrounding surveillance was damaged, was it Emma Gilson who sabotaged it?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. ”

"How did she sabotage?"

Monrika didn't look at Wood, but looked at Emma, and after a moment of silence, she said impatiently

"With a computer."

"I have a pre-written program on my computer. She wrote the program for me to evade surveillance at home and sneak out to play. ”

"In the GOOD fast food restaurant fire case, she was ruled not to be released on bail, and on the afternoon of her detention by the police, Emma Gilson went to visit, what did you talk about?"

There was silence again.

Monrika looked away, stared down at the polished desktop, raised her hand and touched her eyebrows, her voice a little muffled.

"Didn't say anything."

"Didn't say what you said?"

Wood Ward refused to let her go, and asked.

According to surveillance and police records, Emma Gilson's visit lasted for one hour. You can't just sit and stare at each other for an hour, can you? ”

Monrika nodded first, then shook her head.

"It's just some complaints, I don't remember exactly."

If you look at it from Brooklyn's angle, you can see that Monrika's cheeks are noticeably raised and the corners of her mouth are downturned when she mentions that afternoon.

This is a sign of remorse.

"Did you talk about Judge Brooklyn?"

β€œObjection! Inducing questions! ”

Dona immediately spoke out against it, even though Monrika's previous answer was enough to push Emma Gilson into the abyss.

"The opposition is valid. The prosecution should be careful to ask questions. The jury, please ignore the prosecution's question. ”

Brooklyn announced the verdict as he looked into the dock.

Emma Gilson in the dock was pale, her mouth was tightly pursed, and her eyes were staring at the witness stand with thick eyeshadow eyes, full of resentment.

"We apply that Monrika Russell be named as a hostile witness."

Wood Ward stared at Monrica for a moment, and when he saw that Monrica remained silent, he spoke.

"Witness, you should answer the questions posed by the prosecution." Brooklyn reminded again

"I only swear I won't lie, but can I keep quiet, murderer?"

Monrika always seemed to be very energetic when she went to Brooklyn, and when she heard Brooklyn speak, she immediately replied.

Brooklyn pursed her lips, eager to remind her that the words were, 'Put your right hand on the Bible and swear to God that you will do the best you know that what is said is true and nothing is hidden,' but in the end she just shook her head. [Note 1]

"Yes."

This is said to Wood Ward.

Wood Ward cleared his throat.

"Surveillance footage shows you getting emotional when you meet Emma Gilson. Are you making plans to take revenge on the Brooklyn judges? ”

Monrica quickly glanced up in the direction of the dock and continued to shrink her head as a quail.

Wood Ward frowned.

"If you don't cooperate and fulfill your witness obligations, we can tear up the agreement and kick you out of the list plan at any time."

Brooklyn looked at Wood Ward in shock.

Threatening people with an agreement, the subject is still an underage girl, this is not something Wood Ward would do!

That's what he should have done!

I haven't seen him for a few years, but Woodward is really inclusive, and he wants to gather the strengths of everyone and become everyone? Even threatening people is done so naturally and smoothly!

Brooklyn is a little jealous.

"What the hell are you trying to ask?"

Under pressure to tear up the agreement, Monrika finally looked up.

"The conversation you had with Emma Gilson in the detention cell on December 26, 2017."

"All!"

Monrika reverted to her mute state, bowed her head slightly, touched her eyebrows, and gnawed on her nails.

"Did Emma Gilson enter the detention cell with contraband when she went to see you?"

Monrika gnawed her nails, nodded hesitantly, lowered her head slightly, and stole a glance in the direction of the defendant's seat.

"What did you bring? Is it a computer? ”

Monrika shook her head, "It's a mobile phone." ”

"Who's?"

"Newly bought."

"Who bought it?"

"Emma." Monrika couldn't help but glance up at the dock quickly, and then quickly shifted her gaze, "She bought it." ”

Brooklyn raised an eyebrow, keenly noticing the change in Monrika's address to Emma Gilson.

According to an investigation of her parents' bank accounts, there were no major expenditures around December 26, 2017. Where did Emma Gilson get her money? ”

She can find the person who bought the phone through the Internet and change his address. That's what we wanted before. ”
