Chapter 154, talking is equal to talking in vain
Monday, April 16. Brooklyn didn't know how Lentman had negotiated, but on this beautiful Monday morning, all the conditions he had asked for had been met.
Carl Lentman traveled from Washington to New York, where eight other psychiatric agencies listed a different test at his request.
As for the two little tails behind Litman, Brooklyn simply ignored them. After a weekend of fermentation, Brooklyn Lee, the judge of the Baruch College cafeteria bombing attack, frantically requested that the suspect Peter Johnson have already been given two psychiatric evaluations, and the news has spread throughout the Federation.
It has already been suggested that the IRS investigate Brooklyn Lee's personal accounts. Almost everyone didn't understand why Brooklyn was doing this.
Even on TV A, the host tried hard to speak for Brooklyn, but still couldn't find an entry point.
After all, it's appalling. It is normal to do a psychiatric evaluation once, and doing it twice can be considered as doubting the authenticity of the results of the first evaluation, but do it directly ten times?
It's not Peter Johnson who has a mental problem, it's Brooklyn Lee who has a mental problem! Brooklyn did not accept the indictment on Monday, and he sat peacefully in his office awaiting the results.
The office was quiet, and Bob and Nelly kept their feet as slow as they could to disturb Brooklyn.
In the face of the surging public opinion from the outside world, they have also realized what it means for Brooklyn to apply for eight psychiatric evaluations.
Once the results of the identification are consistent with the previous two, Brooklyn will face a series of investigations that will ruin his career.
Brooklyn sat in her chair, looking a little nervous. He was emailing Winston back. After a 'long talk' over the weekend, the relationship between the two has successfully 'narrowed' a lot.
Even so, A was not able to help Brooklyn much in this spontaneous tsunami of public opinion. 'Winston legislator concerned about the progress of the Baruch College cafeteria bombing attack, and talks to trial judge Brooklyn Lee at length' The news didn't even make a splash before it was drowned out by the roar of the crusade against Brooklyn.
…………………… New York, in a makeshift conference room at a psychiatric institution. Carl Litman, Torres, Lockell, and Prosecutor Anne Aldington, Gent Elliott, and Jason Bull gathered together, staring quietly at the big screen in front of them, watching intently.
At the other end of the wall, eight psychiatric experts from different institutions are 'consulting' around Peter Johnson.
Carl Lentman leaned against the edge of his desk, staring at the screen with relish, and when the first round of testing was over, he got up and went into the next room.
He tilted his head, put his hands in his pockets, and looked Peter Johnson up and down, like a downtown thug ready to rob.
He was a little unimpressed before he came, but after seeing the subject's reaction after the first round of testing, he found the subject to be very interesting.
After looking at it for a while, Carl Litman returned to the conference room with a sigh of relief.
"Brooklyn Lee is right, you really can't handle it." He looked up at the two tails behind him.
"The man's expression contradicts his reaction." He pointed to the screen, where he was replaying the video of the first round while preparing for the second round of testing.
"Like this one." He pressed the pause button to explain
"He was noticeably hesitant to answer the question, 'Are you used to being the first to respond when the phone rings suddenly or something like that?' His expression was determined. With that, he looked at Lockle.
Lockell worked on the computer for a moment, shaking his head at him.
"We couldn't establish a baseline. According to your description, he even showed a conflicting side when answering his own name. Lockell captures Peter Johnson's first meeting with eight experts, explaining
"When he replied that his name was Peter Johnson, his voice did not fluctuate, his pronunciation was normal, and there was no deliberate or inadvertent articulation and pronunciation, but look at his expression." A big face with a frown, wandering gaze, and a slightly upturned mouth was projected on the big screen.
Locker circles his face in multiple places in a row
"All of this shows that he is lying, and he even expresses disdain for the eight professionals in front of him." Ask for a name, this is the easiest way to establish a baseline.
Baselines are important for a complete analysis of a person's range of behavioral patterns. With the existence of the baseline, it is possible to distinguish whether the person is lying, whether he is deliberately concealing, and whether he is pretending to conceal it.
We all know that long nostrils and tight lips are signs of anger, but what if this expression happens to a person who is born with valgus and straight lips?
He's angry all the time? People who are born with valgus and straight lips may have specific other expressions when angry, but it's not just about long nostrils and tight lips.
Now Peter Johnson is paradoxical at every moment, his voice sounding telling the truth, but his face and body telling people that he is lying.
His face and body were sincere, but his voice sounded fake. If you can't establish a baseline, it's all for nothing.
…………………… That afternoon, Lentman called Brooklyn and asked him for the transcript of the trial.
Brooklyn entrusts Bob with a copy of the record and a non-disclosure agreement to the psychiatric institution. The entire process of the trial is open, but the trial records must still be kept confidential, especially the access to the files, and not everyone has this right.
That evening, public opinion came to the peak of the first wave. In an ABC evening program, the host called on citizens to petition on the official website of the White House, asking the IRS and other departments to intervene in the investigation.
The host grabbed the microphone and angrily spewed at the camera in Brooklyn. He believes that Brooklyn has treated the defendant too harshly in the past, and that this behavior is the real mental problem, and that it is Brooklyn, not Peter Johnson, who should be psychographed.
He also identified Brooklyn's 10 previous applications for psychiatric evaluations of Peter Johnson as persecution, which he believed was Brooklyn's anger after not being in trouble once or twice.
The host is very good at fanning emotions, and the atmosphere of the scene is quickly mobilized by him. Brooklyn sat in front of the TV, watching the presenter's monkey-like performance with a blank face, before receiving a text message from Winston.
The text message consisted of nothing but a string of laughs and nothing else. Then, Winston retweeted to him the news on A's official website that the two had a good conversation last weekend, as well as the results of the gubernatorial campaign.
Brooklyn saw that he was in a state of error. Some people thought they might have a role to play in the Winston race, so they decided to strike first.
But didn't I hear that no one else reported hope in this round of election? Could it be that seeing Winston's approval rating continue to decline, hope has been rekindled?
Brooklyn couldn't guess what these people were thinking. He only gave Winston a Taylor's name. Following.
Brooklyn began to accept indictments. At noon, he received another call from Lentman, asking him for a video of the trial.
Brooklyn called Bob and asked him to bring the trial footage and the relevant protocols to Lentman. That night, Winston was a guest on the A evening talk show.
Speaking on the show, he talked about the recent boiling 'Brooklyn judge asked the defendant to do 10 psychiatric evaluations in a row,' and Congressman Winston said
"We should trust the judges and give the law some time. Public opinion should not be a factor influencing the Tribunal. As soon as these words came out, his approval rating fell by 2 percentage points again that night.
The next day, an authoritative body released statistics and said that Congressman Winston's approval rating had dropped to near the danger line, which gave other rivals a chance that he would need to work hard if he really wanted to be elected governor of New York.
Wednesday, April 18th. Lentman didn't ask Brooklyn for any more materials, but he heard that he had asked Baruch College for some of the surveillance.
That night, public opinion reached its second peak with another gubernatorial contender appearing on the ABC evening show.
On the show, the candidate angrily accused Brooklyn of colluding with Winston in a nest of snakes and rats, saying that they acted as each other's umbrellas, and vowed that he would never let New York State fall into the hands of such people.
Immediately, an audience member in the audience used the slogan 'political and legal collusion is better than your collusion between officials and businessmen', accompanied by a large glass of Coke splashed on his face.
The brave spectator yelled 'I've got your back!' at the camera before being taken away by security. Reilly Winston!
him! There was chaos at one point. Winston texted Brooklyn 'I'm going to sue him!'
! Brooklyn exclaimed as he looked at the series of exclamation points after the words, and provided Winston with an analysis from a professional point of view, and finally told him that 'your indictment will not be entertained by the court.'"
The next day, Thursday, April 19. Brooklyn heard from Bob that the District Attorney's Office had sent a new indictment, which was thick in two boxes.
He guessed it was the Logan Law Firm and the child advocacy group. This made him feel a lot happier, and he looked forward to both of them falling into his hands.
That afternoon, Lentman called Brooklyn and reminded him that he would get the detailed report after paying the balance.
The news got Brooklyn excited. Friday, April 20, Inner Courtyard. Yesterday Brooklyn had already let Bob announce that the trial would continue at two o'clock this afternoon.
Yesterday he had urged the court to pay the balance after receiving a call from Lentman, and he received a thick report early this morning.
Before he could open the report and examine it carefully, Anne Aldington arrived with Gent Elliott and Jason Bull.
They are always following the progress of the appraisal and are a group of people who have known the results for a long time. Brooklyn motioned for them to do it first, tore open the paper bag himself, and flipped to the end, only to find that the identification results column was full of large paragraphs.
"The result was that Peter Johnson had a mild dissociative mental disorder." Brooklyn said after reading it
"He made prolonged psychological suggestion to himself, accompanied by dissociative mental disorder, causing him to be unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy?" Dissociative mental disorder, also known as hysteria, is a mental illness caused by significant mental factors such as major life events, inner conflicts, emotional agitation, suggestion, or autosuggestion.
According to the previous statement in the report, Peter Johnson suffered from mental illness for a long time, coupled with the three successive major blows of humiliation from his girlfriend, suicide from his girlfriend, and receipt of his girlfriend's suicide note.
He fantasized in his heart that he would avenge his girlfriend and take revenge on the abuser, but his body would not allow him to retaliate.
In this gap between fantasy and reality, the condition is getting worse and worse. In the end, under the hint of fantasy, it is impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.
In reality, he wants to submit an indictment to the court and avenge his girlfriend through legal means, but in his fantasy, he hates his weak body and just wants to blow up those three scum to the sky.
After reading the etiological analysis, Brooklyn also had a guess about the purpose of these three people.
"Still have to make a deal?" Brooklyn asked, sitting down. Quint and Anne nodded.
"We are willing to drop the indictment and re-indict Peter Johnson on five counts of endangering public safety, second-degree illegal possession of a weapon, organizing and planning terrorist activities, kidnapping, and first-degree murder, and Peter Johnson will need to plead guilty." Anne Aldington made the offer.
She deleted the three minor charges of first-degree arson, trespassing, and endangering the safety of others, and retained only five main charges.
Quint couldn't have said yes.
"Impossible." Quint's answer was as Brooklyn had guessed.
"My client suffers from dissociative mental disorder and acute psychological disorder."
"Who knows if it's true or not." Anne Aldington retorted with a sneer.
"We can make a judgment reduction defense." Quint Road.
"Is planning a perfect bomb attack a loss of judgment?" Anne Aldington's taunt mode is fully on, and she is non-stop at Gwente
"Being able to accurately measure the weak points of the canteen and blast the canteen with the minimum amount of medicine is a professional-level ability to control the amount of medicine that even professional blasting experts may not be able to achieve, which is really a reduction in judgment ability."
"Can fool e.. The guard at the gate of the courthouse brought a schoolbag of homemade bombs into the courthouse, and his judgment ability was really reduced. ”
"Being able to make bombs on your own, buying materials on your own, and consciously deceiving two psychiatric evaluations, if it weren't for the judge's strong request, I'm afraid you will continue to be deceived, which is also a reduction in judgment?" Quint couldn't stand Anne's yin and yang weirdness, so he simply got up and said
"Either drop the prosecution or we'll see you in court." Anne picked up her pouch unhurriedly
"See you in court." Brooklyn stalls
"I don't think I need to say anything. We'll see you in the afternoon. Gentlemen and ladies, remember not to be late. He gave him an intimate reminder.
With this appraisal report, many questions in his mind have been answered, and the next thing is a matter of the formal judicial process, and he no longer has to worry about the eucalyptus becoming a time bomb and being detonated at any time.
