Chapter 158, the success fell short
Anne Aldington's phrase 'people who have not studied law' is a hornet's nest. A pronoun that takes things to the next level again.
The people who chased her and scolded began to change from her duty to 'discriminate against non-binary genders' to 'discriminate against people who had not studied law'.
They claim that Anne Aldington's words read without discrimination, but when she says it, there is discrimination everywhere, she calls herself a 'person who has studied law', looks down on and looks down on 'people who have not studied law', and thinks that 'people who have not studied law' do not understand right and wrong.
The logic by which they came to this conclusion is simple, if it is not to look down on people, why did she say that?
If she doesn't think that 'people who have not studied law' do not understand right and wrong, why does she refer specifically to 'people who have not studied law'?
Isn't it just to bring yourself to the top of the law that you have studied? Don't you just bring yourself to the superiority of those who have studied law?
Isn't it just looking down on 'people who have not studied law'? Brooklyn looked at the topic of Anne Aldington on the Internet and was also a little speechless.
For the first time, he found out why the Federalists liked to label people so much. Brooklyn even suspects that if this development continues, sooner or later the people of the Federation will have a label for each person, and everyone will not take a name after birth, only a label, and they will be commensurate with the label when they meet.
Anne Aldington just said it casually, and as a result, she was chased and scolded. Brooklyn, the 'initiator', is no longer cared for.
Except for the initial focus of the discussion, which gained a lot of attention when the prosecution challenged the authority of the judge with the right of interlocutory appeal, the focus and center of all the discussion is now on Anne Aldington alone.
Brooklyn was a little glad that he didn't become the center of public opinion. He now has the reputation he deserves in the judicial world, but he has a less prominent reputation in the outside world, which is exactly what he wants.
At the same time, Brooklyn also has a hint of admiration for Anne Aldington's attitude. Anne Aldington did not choose to back down or surrender in the face of overwhelming abuse, and she courageously stood up to them.
Brooklyn admired her. admires her courage, and even more admires her persistence. …………………… In view of the excessive social impact of the interlocutory appeal of Peter Johnson, the defendant in the Baruch College cafeteria bombing attack, which was accepted by the Federal Court Tribunal, three psychiatric reports, moved it to the front.
Monday, April 23rd. The interlocutory appeal was heard under the chairmanship of Chief Justice Lenley Crewe of the Second Circuit.
After a one-day trial, the Second Circuit replied: it rejected all of the prosecution's appeals and upheld the e. Decision of Judge Brooklyn Lee of Court Y9.
Lyleigh Crewe spoke to media reporters after the trial, and when talking about the outcome of the trial, he said solemnly
"The prosecution's interlocutory right of appeal is intended to better clarify the evidence in favor of the trial, not to challenge the judge's authority. In the courtroom, any act that dares to challenge the authority of a judge will not be supported. ”
"The authority of judges in the courtroom is the cornerstone of federal justice and cannot be questioned." At the same time, Clerie Crewe also spoke about the reasons for the Court of Appeal's decision.
"Psychiatric identification is a kind of subjective identification results, which is different from toxicological identification, bloodline identification, bloodstain identification, footprint identification and many other identification results. The judge has the power to decide whether to admit the results of the psychiatric evaluation. After the judge decides to accept the appraisal results, it does not mean that the subject's mental state must be consistent with the appraisal results objectively, but in the current case, the judicial procedure determines that the subject's mental state is in the mental state of the appraisal results. He was careful with his wording, and he again emphasized
"Nowadays, many people use psychiatric evaluation as an excuse to use the excuse of lower judgment to avoid legal responsibility. This shouldn't have happened. Cleie Crewe concludes by mentioning the original parties involved in the incident.
"Brooklyn Lee is a rare and good judge in our Second Circuit, and I think highly of him. That's right, we've been watching him. His decision in this book was correct. ”
"Anne Aldington is a very good assistant prosecutor, she may not be very familiar with the interlocutory appeal power of the monitoring room, and she is not very familiar with the authority of the court, but it doesn't matter, she will become proficient after a few more exercises, and I believe she will not have such problems in the future. In addition, I have heard about the crusade against her on the Internet, and I don't quite understand that the two are not the same thing at all, so why impose on her the meaning that she herself has no intention of expressing? ”
"That's right, I've heard about the Baruch College cafeteria bombing, and I happened to be in New York when the trial began, and I've been to the courtroom twice."
"What are the predictions for the eucalyptus? I'm not a wizard, so how can I predict accurately. I believe in Brooklyn Lee's ability to make an accurate ruling. "Brooklyn was eating, watching Lyley Crewe talking on TV, and I had a strange feeling in my heart.
Why does this old man try to help himself speak?
"Why does he keep helping me?" Brooklyn turned to Ray and asked. Ray was nibbling on chicken drumsticks, and Brooklyn spent a lot of money on spices such as star anise purchased from a Chinese medicine store, and a big pot of chicken thighs and chicken wings on the weekend.
"Didn't he say it, he is optimistic about you." Ray spat out chicken bones and pointed at the TV.
"Why is he optimistic about me?" Brooklyn looked at the bottomed braised meat basin and muttered a little in his heart.
Ray killed most of the basin himself.
"Maybe it's just optimistic about you." Lei pinched the chicken leg for a moment, took back the fast and pulled the rice twice, and said quietly.
"What do you think of him?" Pulling the rice chop out of the bowl, Ray asked, looking up.
"Who? Lai Lee Crewe? Brooklyn asked.
"Hmm." Ray craned his neck and stared straight at Brooklyn. Brooklyn ate the rice in a clean bowl in three bites and walked to the kitchen with the bowl in hand.
"That's good." Voices could be heard in the distance
"Lyleigh Crewe, who has no lower status in the federal judiciary than the Chief Justice. He was the John Marshall of my mind. John Marshallray still knew.
He was the fourth Chief Justice of the Union and his effective confirmation of the independence of the federal judiciary.
Prior to this, although the federation clearly stipulated the separation of powers between the legislative, judicial and executive powers, in practice, the judicial power was a pitiful thing, and anyone could participate in it.
John Marshall's hard-line attitude through the struggle ensured the true independence of the judicial power, and since then, the independence of the three powers is the true sense of independence, and the judicial power is no longer a little pitiful that anyone can participate in.
John Marshall has a unique complex in the minds of today's federal judicial people. Brooklyn's answer made Ray feel a little strange.
…………………… Tuesday, April 24th. Courtroom No. 9 was packed. Brooklyn sat in the bench, announced the outcome of the interlocutory appeal, and looked to the prosecution bench.
Anne Aldington looked a little haggard, and in just three days, this cold girl had changed a lot.
Her eyes were red and swollen, her cheeks were sunken, she was sluggish, and her long, silky hair seemed to have lost its luster.
This made Brooklyn feel guilty for a moment. A moment later, the trial continued. The interlocutory appeal has been resolved, and the Circuit's decision confirms that Peter Johnson's third psychiatric evaluation was admissible, and that Peter Johnson's mental state is that of a dissociative mental disorder, which may be appropriate for the judgment impairment defense.
This is not good news for the prosecution. Coupled with the condemnation of Anne Aldington from the outside world, although Lyleigh Crewe helped her speak, this time it had little effect.
All this rushed together, making Anne Aldington lose her former edge and look wilted.
Quint sang all the way in, taking advantage of her illness to kill her. He presented several pieces of evidence in quick succession, and the scene was so lively that it seemed that he had beaten Anne Aldington to the point where he could only parry, and he was powerless to fight back.
Quint was still a little unsatisfied, and he didn't notice what was happening on the jury bench. Jason Bull, as an expert in jury manipulation, saw that the jury's eyes on Anne Aldington became more and more sympathetic, and in the end, even the judge couldn't help but look at the plaintiff's bench with sympathetic eyes, and he immediately took the opportunity to pull Quint, who was eager to try.
After the prosecution said that it had exhausted all the evidence on the evidence list, and entered the prosecution to wait, Quint reluctantly announced that the evidence had been completed.
Brooklyn repeated inquiries, and seeing that neither side had any new evidence to offer, he announced that he had entered into a closing argument. As a rule, the prosecution will speak first.
Anne Aldington got up and walked to the jury bench, bowed slightly to the jury bench, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
She first described the incident in a gentle tone, and then broke into the e.. with a homemade bomb in Peter Johnson. Y's actions are corroborated by evidence, and then there is a pause.
"There's another thing I want to talk about. One thing about the defense of reduced judgment. She looked solemn, ignoring the whispering auditorium, and did not see the jurors in front of her.
"I have appealed interlocutory to the fact that the court has differentiated the three psychiatric evaluations of the defendants, and the results have been obtained. I am convinced of the outcome of the interlocutory appeal. She made her position clear first, which made the whispers much quieter.
But Brooklyn pulled herself together and didn't let her guard down at her back-down. Because if you say that, you must be followed by a 'but'.
"But I would like to talk about the fact that the suspect is applying the defense of reduced judgment. I agree with the third psychiatric evaluation adopted by the court, that is, the defendant has indeed suffered from dissociative mental disorder for at least one month and has been deeply troubled by it. ”
"But one of the suspects was caught, he has clear logical thinking, good anti-reconnaissance ability, accurate calculation and intelligent brain, and he can even deceive the psychiatric identification system. As a result, he was eventually diagnosed with mental illness. Now I have been told that he does suffer from mental illness and that he should be covered by the defense of impaired judgment. At this, her tone gradually became agitated, and her voice unconsciously began to become high-pitched.
"Why?" Anne Aldington walked back and forth in front of the jury frame, arms outstretched and hands outstretched, as if to question the jury.
“why???”
"Where has his ability to judge decreased?" She spoke faster and faster, moved more and more often, and began to wave her arms up and down unconsciously.
"Shouldn't the original purpose of the impaired judgment defense be to protect the defense of involuntary violations of the law during the concurrent period of involuntary delinquency in the face of mental illness in the eyes?"
"Where does a person with clear logical thinking, good counter-reconnaissance ability, accurate computing power and a smart brain, and even the ability to deceive the psychiatric identification system meet this criterion?"
"Shouldn't it be taken to correct the original intent of establishing a defense of reduced judgment that is contrary to the scope of its use?" She paused, turned, and reached out to the dock, pausing briefly at Quint before looking back at the judge's bench.
Finally, he slowly turned back to face the jurors again.
"Now I'm told, no, he's just a person who has a reduced ability to judge, and he can't poop on himself when he sins."
"What is self-awareness?"
"Making the decision to detonate a bomb in a state of wakefulness for up to 30 minutes is not called self-awareness, but is sleeping for 30 minutes called self-awareness?"
"Attention prosecutors." Speaking of which, Brooklyn had to be reminded.
"It is forbidden to express personal judgments on whether the defendant is guilty or not."
"Whether the defendant applies the standard of reduced judgment ability, the court has its own consideration." Anne Aldington glanced back at Brooklyn and let out a sneer.
Brooklyn frowned, a little unhappy at Anne Aldington's last apparent scorn, but did not punish her, given the pressure she was under from outside criticism.
In fact, in its view, the key point of the eucalyptus has changed since the results of the third psychiatric evaluation.
The first point of the conclusion should be whether Peter Johnson's words are credible and whether Carl Litman has determined whether he committed the eucalyptus in his waking state is true.
This is followed by a defense of reduced judgment. Finally, there is a question of the philosophy of law: if a person suffers from mental illness, can he escape justice, and is it himself at the moment when he suffers from mental illness?
That is, is he responsible for what he did in a state of mental illness? If they want to rise to the height and make this eucalyptus a typical piece in their resume, they should summarize it from these three perspectives.
Especially the last two points, the ability to judge reduces the scope of application of the defense, which is a very good topic, and if it is well said, it may even be valued by the Supreme People's Court and become a real key training object.
Anne Aldington's statement may sound the same at first glance, but she mixed in too many personal feelings, adding her dissatisfaction with the outside world and the grievances she suffered during this time, making the speech sound very reasonable and dynamic.
The jurors were also indeed very infected, but in reality they were very empty and did not say anything. She asked too many questions!
At the end of the day, this is the last chance for the prosecution and defense to influence the jury's decision, and she should win over the jury instead of venting her frustrations.
Putting herself in the position of a wronged weak person can certainly win sympathy, but she is only a prosecutor, and the jurors sympathize with her, not her opinions and positions.
She should have made the jurors sympathize with her position, not herself. Even if she was here screaming hoarsely about the people who had been killed, even if she posed for pictures of innocent people being treated in hospitals, it was more useful than what she said.
In Brooklyn's view, Anne Aldington had a good start throughout the trial, struggled hard in the middle, and ended up playing poorly.
