Most of the media did not report selectively, and they reported truthfully about what was in court, which finally caused some reaction.

When the plaintiff's lawyer described Cedric's despair and struggle before his death in a low tone, the criticism of Cedric finally became much quieter.

Brooklyn gave a brief after-hours interview in which he deliberately chose his 'old rival'.

"I will not express any opinion on the case itself before the end of the trial, nor will I judge the choices of the parties or the deceased. This is the basic professional ethics of being a judge. ”

"But like I said before the trial, the courtroom is a place where anyone is allowed to speak, and if it weren't for this trial, maybe everybody wouldn't be thinking about the issues that were raised in the courtroom."

"The courtroom is sacred and special, and what is valued in the courtroom is the facts and the truth, not who has a loud voice and a rough voice." Asked again if the argument with the A News host would affect his verdict, Brooklyn shook his head

"I can tell the difference between public and private, and if I am really affected by this, I should be gagged by the defendant's lawyer in court today."

"For example, rejecting his application, interrupting his statement, prohibiting him from making eye contact with the jury, etc., as a judge there are so many ways to cover a party's mouth that are both procedural and goal-fulfilling, these are things that every judicial practitioner knows."

"But I'm not going to do that."

"I'm going to stay where I am today and stand in the middle, just like her." Brooklyn asked suddenly, pointing to the statue of the goddess on the courthouse's porch

"Do you know why there is a statue of Themis in the courthouse?" Without waiting for the reporter to speak, Brooklyn said to himself

"Themis is a symbol of law and justice. Her eyes are blindfolded, indicating that she is impartial, does not show favoritism, and will treat everyone equally no matter who is in front of her. A put the interview on the evening news and invited a retired veteran judge as a special guest.

The old judge had a heated argument with the moderator. He highly praised Brooklyn and agreed with Brooklyn's statement, especially the statue of Themis mentioned by Brooklyn, which caused the old judge to be infinitely emotional.

"It's not so easy to treat everyone equally, we will judge anyone we see, even if he is a good person with a good heart, we may be disgusted by him because the color of his coat happens to be the color we hate."

"Even if it's a heinous villain, we may feel good about him just because he looks like his wife or children."

"So Themis was blindfolded, and she told us not to judge good and evil with our eyes, not to be blinded by our eyes, but to use our hearts to discern right from wrong." The host of A was obviously a little lacking in firepower in the face of the old judge, and he finally said mockingly to the camera

"Brooklyn Lee wants to be a Themis? Ha! The next day, the plaintiff approached Brooklyn and filed an application to barred the psychiatrist from appearing as a witness.

The reason they gave was that the psychiatrist may have violated a doctor-patient confidentiality agreement by intentionally or unintentionally revealing Sedrake's privacy in court.

Brooklyn, naturally, would not agree. Psychologists are indeed required to abide by doctor-patient confidentiality agreements and are not allowed to divulge patient-related information to others, but psychologists are allowed to testify in court.

When asked about the content of the non-disclosure agreement, the psychologist can refuse to answer on the grounds of the agreement. When Brooklyn refused, they filed an order to find out about Cedric's treatment from a psychiatrist.

It was a request that touched on a doctor-patient confidentiality agreement, and Brooklyn likewise declined. Shortly after the plaintiffs left, they came again, and they also had to apply for an order that the psychiatrist would not be held accountable for violating the sunset terms of the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement with Seydrake during the trial.

Brooklyn likewise refused.

"I know what you're thinking." Brooklyn glanced at the disgruntled representative of the broadcaster and said in a spurt

"Originally, I was not obliged to explain it to you, but in order to avoid misunderstanding - five minutes ago, the plaintiff also applied for this clause, which I refused."

"Maybe you should ask Jeffrey Fahn what his attitude to a judge should be as a client." Brooklyn pointed to the bald head and said without mince words.

"Where's Jeffrey Fahn? He's a lot better than you. ”

"He was fired from the company and went to A." The bald man stared at Brooklyn with his neck and said firmly.

The lawyer on the side pulled the bald head and said goodbye to Brooklyn. That night, the lawyer reported the incident of baldness in the judge's office and the judge's confrontation.

The next day, when Brooklyn walked into the courtroom, he saw a bald man staring at him with bulging eyes.

This made him a little baffled. …………………… Cedric's psychiatrist arrived. He strictly abided by the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement, allowed the prosecution and defense to take turns, and resolutely refused to disclose the slightest relevant content.

The prosecution and defense took turns questioning all morning, and the only useful information from the psychiatrist was that Cedric did not terminate the treatment, as he had said, but continued to do so until his death.

This information was still asked by Brooklyn, who had to push the progress of the trial as it was approaching lunchtime.

More content, the psychiatrist resolutely refused to disclose. After receiving this information, the plaintiff expressed satisfaction.

This piece of information is enough to exclude the defense's definition of Cedric's suicide. It proves that Cedric's death had nothing to do with his psychotherapy.

And then the content of the first two rounds of evidence presented by the plaintiff is fully proven, the report is the only variable in Cedric's mental world in recent times, and his suicide has a lot to do with it.

The plaintiff then moved in the person who followed Cedric's family as a witness in an attempt to further expand the results.

At this critical time, Brooklyn noticed that there was a quiet change of people in the dock. The bald head was replaced by an intellectual woman with short blond hair.

The woman is well maintained, but the signs of age can still be seen in her slightly flabby neck and wrinkled cheeks.

Before the trial, the woman introduced herself, she is the new representative, named Jane. Ms. Zhen spoke with a calm and calm aura, which immediately stabilized the chaotic side.

During the trial, Brooklyn noticed that the lawyer needed to look back at Ms. Jane frequently, and often needed a whispered reminder from Ms. Jane before making a statement.

Under the influence of Ms. Jane, she stabilized her position and was not defeated by the plaintiff in one fell swoop. In just one afternoon, Ms. Jane showed everyone how powerful she was.

Over the weekend, Cedric was still being followed on TV news, but the duration had been reduced from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, and most stations were starting to cover other stories.

The New Year is fast approaching, and there is so much news in the world that needs to be covered. At noon on Saturday, a news host posted a photo of Themis on an online social platform with a caption

"Themis, ha!" Brooklyn immediately posted an e. Photograph of the Y porch, with the camera focused on the statue of Themis.

There is no accompanying text. The news posted by the two appeared on the news again that night, bringing the argument between Cedric and the A News host and Brooklyn into focus.

Constitution, Law of Rights, Power of Judges, Fairness, Justice, Equality, Myth...... All kinds of words of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods popped up, and they were repeatedly mentioned and discussed by people along with the news.

A judge was again invited to the evening news programme to debate with the moderator. The judge, who was much stronger than the old one last time, was a big admirer of Brooklyn's views and praised them

"Brooklyn Lee is a model for a new generation of judges!" Brooklyn watched the news and called John Manning, who was far away at Harvard, to thank him for his help.

After the evening news hour, the A news host posted the news again, and he reprinted the photo of Themis released by Brooklyn with the caption

The meaning of "just talking" is self-explanatory. He's taunting Brooklyn for just paying lip service.

This time, Brooklyn did not post a dynamic response. But after a heated debate on the evening news, a storm has formed.

………………………… Tuesday, January 1. New year. Brooklyn invited E. All the staff of Y spent it together.

For this reason, he specially chartered the roof garden of Rockefeller Center, which cost him more than 60,000 US dollars. In the last storm in New York, Ray and David ate with oily mouths, and Brooklyn had some scruples, only making tens of thousands of dollars, and spending most of them today.

But it's worth it. The next day, Court No. 9. The failure to win it in one fell swoop was a big blow to the plaintiff, but after a day, the plaintiff has adjusted.

At this time, the lawyer of Pearson Law Firm was standing in front of the witness stand and conducting questioning. This witness was unique in that he was brought in by two prison guards, who did not fully untie his handcuffs when he sat on the witness stand.

"Pete, on what grounds did the police arrest you?" The lawyer asked. Pete, who had a bit of ADHD, sat on the witness stand and moved constantly, which caused his handcuffs to clamble together from time to time.

"Trespass into a home." Pete said.

"Can you elaborate on that?" The lawyer continued to ask. Pete thought for a moment and spoke

"At the beginning of December, I had just been released to go to a bar with my friends for a drink, and I happened to see Cedric mentioned on the news, and judging from the photos, his family was very rich, so I was moved......"

"Wait." The lawyer interrupted, asking clearly

"Remember which channel?" Pitt nodded

"It's the evening news. I remember very well that the host was like a sissy. The lawyer continued

"You saw a picture of Sedrake's house on the news? Inferring from this that the Cedric family is rich? ”

"Yes." Pete affirmed

"I remember the address under the photograph at the time, and I was familiar with that area, and the families who lived there were very wealthy."

"At least richer than me." As he spoke, Pete shrugged. The lawyer said he understood and motioned for him to continue.

"That night I followed the address to Sedrek's house, and I waited outside until the lights went out, and then I went around to the back of the house, climbed in along the ladder, stole a few watches, and took them with me."

"Wait." The lawyer stopped again and questioned

"Are you saying you saw the evening news at night, took action that night, and it worked?"

"That's right."

"I haven't ever stolen, but I think you should at least step on it before you do it, right?" The lawyer asked, confused

"You need to at least figure out what's going on around the target's house, it's easier to get in from where to enter, when and who is in the house. What do you have at home, and where do you put your belongings? Pete continued to nod.

The lawyer said with a puzzled expression

"Since all of them are needed, can this work be done in a matter of hours? I thought it would take at least a few days. For example, to understand the target family structure, when is there no one in the family, this requires a long period of observation, right? Pete explained

"At that time, the news program had an introduction, and they introduced it in great detail, and I didn't need to step on it at all. In fact, I was skeptical on the road, and when I got to Cedric's house, I was sure that what was on the news was the actual environment. This saves me a lot of time. After a moment's hesitation, Pete said again

"In fact, I decided to do it that day because it was said on the news that the men in this family do not live at home at night in order to avoid trouble, only women and children."

"In other words, the news program helps you do all the preparation in advance, including observing the surrounding environment, choosing the entry route, the structure of the target family, living habits, access and so on, you just need to get there, wait for the lights to go out, you can easily walk in, take what you want to take, and then swagger away, right?" The lawyer concluded.

Pitt nodded

"Yes. Honestly, it usually takes at least three people to complete, but I managed it that night. If there was no news, the money would have to be divided among three people, but that time it was just me, and all the gains belonged to me. Thank. Pippet thanked Ms. Jane in the dock.

The lawyer turned to the jury bench, his mouth open, as if he hadn't figured out what to say for a moment, he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's so easy!" The lawyer exclaimed

"It's so easy!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, believe me, I can't put it into words for a moment. I'm sorry, I know that being a lawyer should be quick to speak, but I'm really shocked. He was incoherent for a moment, and the logic between his words gradually returned to normal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe it? Just watch the evening news for a few minutes, follow the address of the news report, and wait a few minutes......"

"I've been waiting for half an hour!" Pitt interjected with the lawyer's simplistic description of his 'great achievements'.

“ok！” The lawyer turned back and gestured to Pete with an ok

"Half an hour, just wait outside for half an hour, you can go inside, take what you want, and then swagger away."

"The amount of money Pitt got from that theft was $16,000. Ladies and gentlemen, one night, no, only half a night, standing in the cold wind for half an hour, can make a profit of sixteen thousand dollars. ”

"Is there any easier money in the world than this?"

"You know what?"

"Anything else?"

"Are you excited?"

"It only takes an hour!" The lawyer asked as he walked from left to right, talking to the jurors one by one.

"I didn't even have time to get back to the bar and treat everyone in the bar for a drink!"

"Who wouldn't be impressed?"
