Quint didn't care whether the judge liked the witness or not, he now had almost all his hopes pinned on the not-so-normal looking witness.

Just now in the dock, even the resourceful Jason Bull thinks there is no hope, but Quint is still unwilling to give up.

"Carl Ratman, what's your profession?" Quint started with an easy question. Carl Litman ignored him.

He just glanced at Quint and turned his full attention back to Brooklyn. He's close to me/him!

Carl Litman/Brooklyn Lee thought at the same time. The two of them looked at each other and clearly saw each other's thoughts.

"Witness, please answer the question." Brooklyn asked.

"Businessman, psychology professor, expert, best-selling author, taxpayer, federal citizen, witness." Carl Litman replied without hesitation, then silently gestured at Brooklyn in an indeterminate gesture.

Brooklyn felt insulted. This kind of frivolous behavior is usually done by hooligans to girls.

Carl Litman was both humiliating and outraged by doing this to him.

"Witness Carl Litman contempts court and adds a fine of $500." Brooklyn announced quietly, and then warned without raising his head

"Witnesses are invited to fulfill their obligations and answer questions carefully." Carl Litman didn't react, folded his arms together, and continued to tilt his head to look at Brooklyn.

He found Brooklyn interesting. This is a person who can't see the bottom at a glance, he knows some psychology and micro-expression knowledge, he is very afraid of himself, and he doesn't want to see himself.

He felt that there was a fog inside Brooklyn, and the fog was wrapped in secrets. Brooklyn wasn't funny, he was bored.

It's terrible to have such a pair of searchlight-like eyes staring straight at you. Quint choked on Carl Rentman's answer, and it took him a long time to react.

"Is this the report you're mainly writing about?" Again, this is a question of disqualification, and Anne rightly objected.

"The opposition is valid!" duang！

“obje！” Brooklyn even spoke almost at the same time as Anne. Anne was stunned for a moment after shouting.

"Be careful how you ask questions." Brooklyn said seriously

"Don't induce witnesses."

"He's not yet a witness to your hostility." Brooklyn added.

"Who is this report written by?" Quint asked in a different way.

"Me." Carl Lentman replied without hesitation.

"Do you agree that my client, Peter Johnson, suffers from dissociative mental disorder?" Carl Lentman looked away.

He glanced at Quint with an idiot-like gaze, swapped arms, and lay back on his side.

"If I don't think so, why sign it in the back?" Carl Lentman asked helplessly.

Faced with Quint, who was choked again, Brooklyn decisively hammered.

"Witness Carl Litman contempts court and adds a fine of $500." Carl Ratman pouted, looking a little bored.

Quint was so angry that his face turned red, and he stood there for a long time, shouting angrily at Brooklyn

"Judge! I'm going to apply to list this person as a hostile witness! ”

"Agree to the application." Brooklyn immediately agreed, and flashed a gloating smile at Carl Latman, who reminded him unabashedly

"Carl Letman, you have been listed as a hostile witness by the defense, and the defense has the right to ask you inducing, pestering questions, and you must answer none of the questions truthfully."

"Carl Letman, how do you determine that my client, Peter Johnson, has dissociative mental disorder?" Quint asked angrily.

Carl Litman didn't want to answer the question, but was reminded by Brooklyn that he had been listed as a hostile witness and had to answer.

So he explained the principle of the content of the test, the necessity of multiple rounds of testing, the characteristics of dissociative mental disorder, the performance of Peter Johnson, etc., and answered this question in an all-round way.

The whole process took forty-three minutes, during which Quint tried to interrupt several times, but he ignored it. Finally, when he finished explaining, Quint continued to ask with a constipated expression on his face

"That is, you are 100% sure that my client, Peter Johnson, has dissociative mental disorder?" Carl Lentman stopped paying attention to Brooklyn and began to look at Quint with a retarded gaze with pity in his eyes.

He stood up abruptly, gestured his hands twice in front of his chest, looked around, and found himself under the watchful eye of many people, and had to sit back in his chair.

It made him even more full.

"No one can be 100 percent sure that anyone, including himself, has dissociative mental disorder." Carl Lentman took a deep breath and explained as patiently as he could

"But I think the subject has dissociative mental disorder! I can't be 100% sure! Just I think! No one can be 100% sure! I, damn subjectively, damn think, he damn suffers from damn dissociative mental disorder, ok? As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his voice.

Quint was taken aback by his reaction, and the entire courtroom fell silent with his 'ok'.

Carl Littleman chewed on his gum twice and turned to Brooklyn to ask

"Judge, do you understand? You must have understood, right? "Brooklyn banged the gavel and ignored Carl Rentman.

"Witness, please control your emotions."

"Defense, please continue to ask questions." Quint came back to his senses and was visibly disadvantaged when he confronted Carl Lytman, as if he was being questioned and not Lentman.

"What is the basis for your assumption in the etiological analysis section of the appraisal report that my client had a brief lucidity at noon on February 19, 2018?" Carl Ratman held his head, turned his palms outward, and waved his hands, a little helpless.

Peter Johnson described the eucalyptus process during the test, during which there was a significant memory gap. This is a symptom of obvious post-depersonalization. Depersonalization can cause changes in perception, distortion of the sense of time, untruthfulness or absence of the self, and numbness of emotions and bodies. ”

"Along with these symptoms, there is a memory disconnect." Carl Litman said as if he were teaching a student

"Depersonalization is countered by depersonalization. Dereality often manifests itself as an unrealistic experience of the environment. Depersonalization, on the other hand, manifests itself as an unreal experience of an individual. ”

"When you hear this, you should understand that both psychiatry and psychology are subjective disciplines, and they emphasize subjective feelings, and the same question is asked to the same person at different times, and the answer he gives may be different."

"It's not like math, where one plus one equals two."

"Don't think of it as an absolute discipline anymore, okay?" Seeing Quint nod involuntarily, Carl Litman breathed a sigh of relief, and then softened his tone.

"The subject experienced several significant memory disconnections in the description of past memories, manifested by hesitation, repetition, influx, and frequent modification of self-description, which is a manifestation of a lie in which he is trying to fabricate a plausible reality based on existing memories. But his brain is occupied by too many things and has no time to help him concoct a real and reasonable reality. Quint was a little excited when he heard this, he didn't care if his brain was stuffed or not, he only knew that his client was sick.

"In other words, my client has been sick and has not been awake, right?" Carl Litman once again looked at Quint with the eyes of a fool, and when he saw Quint staring at him with bright eyes, he turned to Brooklyn again.

He felt that the experience of testifying in court was terrible, except for the judge, there was no normal person in this courtroom, they were all fools, and the only judge who was as normal as himself did not like to communicate with himself******* the reason why the disease is called a disease is because it is not a normal state, why do you think that once the subject is sick, he will always be in a state of illness?

Of course he will be awake. ”

"When he is awake, due to the effects of depersonalization or derealization of reality, there will be a memory gap, which will affect the decision of the chief officer of my client after he is awake, right?" Carl Lentman thought for a moment, then smacked his lips

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"Ask the witness to give a clear answer, and don't answer in a vague way, otherwise the question will be ignored by the jury." Brooklyn reminded with a frown.

Carl Lentman's impatience was in Brooklyn's eyes, and Quint's question did seem childish to him, but he didn't think there was anything to anger and madness.

Quint is a lawyer, not a psychology major, and he may not have been exposed to psychology before this, so what's wrong with asking a few common-sense questions now?

Isn't that normal? Brooklyn felt that Carl Ratman was a little out of the ordinary.

I'm afraid that he studied micro-expressions and psychology to study himself.

"Okay," Carl Lentman said, adjusting his seat

"Affected by dissociative disorders, patients often show significant depersonalization or derealization of reality, or both, and both can cause memory disconnections and make patients perceive the outside world differently. This difference can lead to a misjudgment of the patient's actual state, which in turn can lead to the patient making abnormal choices. ”

"It's just a possibility. Not absolutely. Because no one knows what a patient's options are in a non-diseased state, the two cannot be compared. Quint asked a few more questions, and Carl Litman began to get impatient again.

Brooklyn didn't want to hear what Quint had to say next. He wanted too much to get the phrase 'Peter Johnson was influenced by his illness' from the expert Carl Letman.

He asked too many professional questions for this sentence. One of the biggest taboos in a jury courtroom is professionalism.

The jury is an ordinary person, and some of them may have psychology majors or related practitioners, and some may understand, but it is absolutely impossible for all jurors to understand it.

And professional things are often boring and drowsy. Once in a highly specialized field, jurors tend to concentrate highly in the first minute due to their exuberant curiosity and novelty, and then their attention plummets due to boredom and incomprehension, and within three minutes, those professional words are a bunch of 'buzzing' in the ears of the jurors.

Therefore, more experienced or mature lawyers usually do not talk about professional content in court, and even if they have to do so, they will draw analogies about professional content, describe it in a way that everyone is interested in and understand, and try to shorten this part of the content.

Quint should have known this, but he was too impatient. He turned his back to the dock, and he couldn't see that Jason Bull was already scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and Quint was still asking about professional content, and it was getting deeper and deeper.

In the end, Jason Bull had to risk offending Brooklyn by standing up abruptly, coughing loudly, and forcibly interrupting Quint's questioning of Carl Lentman.

"Do you have any questions?" Brooklyn knew what Jason Bull was doing and knew he didn't want to, and he even smiled at himself with an apology before doing so, but as a judge, he still had to speak up when this unexpected situation happened.

"No, nothing, sorry, my throat is a little upset. It's good now. Jason Bull raised his hand and apologized.

He cherished the opportunity to enter Court 9. There are a lot of courts in New York City, state courts, federal courts, and hundreds of courts.

But when it comes to criminal cases, the only one that is most exciting and intensive is Court 9 in Brooklyn. ATC, as a small litigation firm, would lose a significant portion of the market once it was blacklisted by Brooklyn and banned from Court 9.

Therefore, he did not dare to offend Brooklyn. Brooklyn asked him for help, and he always readily agreed.

Brooklyn gave Jason two warnings, and didn't embarrass him, not even fine. Compared to Carl Ratman's annoying spirit, Jason Bull is simply cute!

Jason took the opportunity to glance at Quint again and again, and finally pulled Quint's crazy brain back.

Quint asked a few questions and ended the question. It was Anne Aldington's turn. When she stood in front of Carl Ratman, Carl Ratman finally stopped paying attention to Brooklyn.

This female prosecutor with a perfect body and a cold appearance managed to attract Carl Litman. Brooklyn remembers that Carl Rentman's ex-wife seemed to be a prosecutor.

"Hello, Dr. Carl Ratman." Anne Aldington said politely. Carl Litman immediately smiled back

"Hello, lady." Brooklyn glanced at him and nodded slightly. That's it, put your full attention on Anne Aldington!

You'd better both go for a drink after the trial!
