Honestly, don't talk about the jurors, Brooklyn is all moved. After he became the chief justice, his salary increased significantly, and his weekly salary was only 5,000.

For sixteen thousand dollars, he had to work for three weeks.

"After the initial shock and greed, I felt a chill in my back." The lawyer said

"Imagine that today it was the Sedrek's house on TV, and tomorrow it would be my house?"

"It's just horrible."

"I don't know what the Federal Press Service thinks about this, how they regulate the content of news stories, or what the censorship system claims to be, but it's horrible in the news channels I don't want to be on."

"To be honest, I work at Pearson Law Firm, a well-known law firm in New York City, and I make a lot of money every week with my ability, but when I first hear about this kind of 'work' of half an hour of 16,000 dollars, I can't help but feel a little excited."

"I'm a lawyer!"

"Because it's so easy! The pre-work has been done for me. The lawyer finally shrugged his shoulders and ended his speech.

It was the turn of the defense to question the question. Ms. Jane grabbed the lawyer and whispered at him before letting go.

The lawyer came to the front and took two steps back and forth before speaking

"Half an hour, sixteen thousand dollars."

"Honestly, I'm also very impressed."

"But I don't take action, I'm like normal people like me, I'm very excited, but I can't act."

"Why did Witness Pitt act?"

"Maybe if you look at his records, you'll have an answer." The lawyer opened the materials in his hand and showed them to the jury.

"Pete has been arrested and imprisoned for theft many times, and his criminal record also includes burglary, trespassing, and many other crimes, oh, the earliest record can be traced back to Pete when he was eight years old, and that was twelve years ago!"

“obje!”

“inmmatory！”

"Just because a witness has a criminal record doesn't mean he'll keep committing crimes, it's bias!" Brooklyn did not immediately make a ruling, but looked at the lawyer.

But the truth is, when he sees the news, the first thing that comes to his mind is theft. Then everyone saw that he was arrested again. The lawyer said

"Shouldn't a normal person who sees the news pay more attention to Cedric's performance in the Robert Bales trial, and why would Pitt care about convenient theft?"

"But the report did facilitate Pete's burglary!" The plaintiff's lawyer argued on the basis of reasoning.

“eon！ Normal people use knives to handle ingredients, murderers use knives to kill! The lawyer retorted

"Is this the sin of the sword?"

"Every time a murderer kills someone with a knife, do we still sentence this knife to death? Or sentence the knife to compensate the victim's family? ”

"Your Excellency, the report facilitated the burglary of Pitt and is not the same as the example given by the other side." The plaintiff's lawyer said.

lawyer

"Everybody understands things differently, so do you want to hold all publications accountable for their audience's understanding?" Plaintiff's lawyer

"The report facilitates the crime!" Brooklyn banged the gavel and put an end to the controversy.

He understands why the two sides are arguing over this seemingly small point, even more intensely than the previous 'news collection'.

They are not arguing about the absurd question of 'whether the suspect committed the crime and whether the murder weapon should be sentenced', but the right to define news reporting.

The plaintiffs' attorneys cleverly concealed the definition of news reporting in the cross-examination of witness Pete, using Pitt's criminal behavior against the Cedric family as a disguise in an attempt to get away with it.

Once he gets past it, the news coverage will be defined as the criminal motive for Pitt's burglary, and will also be turned into an accomplice to the crime against Cedric's family.

Once this definition is established, it will be difficult to turn over even if God is removed. But his plot was seen through by Ms. Jane.

The lawyer insisted on the definition of news reporting, and resolutely refused to admit that it was the news report that aroused Pitt's impulse to commit a burglary and did not facilitate the crime of robbery.

"Do you agree that news reports facilitate the criminal conduct of witnesses?" Brooklyn asked. Without hesitation, the lawyer shook his head in the negative

"Your Excellency, everyone's perception is different. 's news reports are just normal news, but in Pitt's eyes, it becomes an opportunity to commit crimes. It's not a matter of news information, it's that Pitt himself has criminal intent. I just happened to see the information in the report. ”

But there's no denying that the news did help Pete by making his crime easier and saving him the cost of crime. Originally, the work of three people was completed by himself. Brooklyn said.

"Your Excellency, when most normal people see this news report, the focus should be on Cedric's performance at trial, not on what Sedrek's home is like."

"So the core of this story is the performance of the trial, not Cedric's family situation, right?" Brooklyn asked.

"That's right, Your Excellency." The lawyer nodded repeatedly.

"In that case, the news report about Cedric's family is useless information?" Brooklyn asked.

The lawyer couldn't answer. If it's useless information, why report it? I thought that the news program was written, and the words could be counted casually.

Every minute and every second of a news program is important, and it is impossible and not allowed to be mixed with information. What are they used for, if not useless information?

Cover the Sedrek trial, and add Cedric's family situation to what?

"Your Excellency, Judge." Ms. Jane stood up and opened her mouth to relieve the lawyer

"In news reporting, sometimes there is an additional story about the news target to make it easier for the audience to understand. These contents may seem useless on their own, but they will play a greater role in the report. ”

"What does it do?" Brooklyn asked.

"They allow viewers to quickly familiarize themselves with the news target." Brooklyn was silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with her explanation.

It's like submitting a resume, in order to make the resume more detailed, a lot of invalid information is often added, gender, age, where you studied in elementary school, and whether you have ever been a class leader......

Although the witness claimed that what he did to the Cedric family was inspired by news reports, it was in fact an isolated case. Most people don't focus on the invalid information when they see the news report, but the focus of the news report...... "The lawyer was interrupted by Brooklyn like this, obviously not doing well, and it took a while to adjust before he got back to his senses."

But his previous words have left holes. The trial is sometimes very lenient, and in order to ensure that there is no wrongful judgment, the spokesperson will be given the greatest tolerance, but the trial is sometimes very strict, so strict that the speaker needs to repeatedly consider every word that comes out of his mouth, and he needs to write a draft in advance.

For example, lawyers. After he finished speaking, the plaintiff's lawyer immediately stood up and said that he needed to add more.

"First of all, Pete's actions are not unique, and he is not alone in being 'inspired' by the news report, according to police exit records, the police have arrested a total of 27 people during their continued coverage of Sedrek."

"That number was zero before the leak of the Sedrake family."

"Poorly, in the other party's opinion, the private information of the Cedric family is invalid information, in order to retain the audience, but is this information really invalid? They facilitate Pete's burglary, Rudy's multiple follow-ups on Ms. Bella, and useful information about Cedric's children's classmates. ”

"I don't think there is such a thing as invalid information in this world, and the so-called invalid information is only for a certain party and a certain position. The Cedric's privacy is invalid, but it is important to the Cedrics. ”

"For criminals or those who are preparing to commit crimes, they are important clues, they are intelligence, and they are important aids when they commit crimes!" The plaintiff's attorney still has not waived his right to define the news report.

"The other party just said that taking this information too seriously is that the Cedric family is too sensitive, maybe, who is not sensitive to their own private information? If not, why wouldn't the other party post their privacy on the front page of the New York Times? ”

"The Federal Constitution protects the privacy of citizens, and the law of rights clearly stipulates the privacy rights of citizens, but the other party says that it is not important, this is invalid information. Ha! The plaintiff's lawyer ended his remarks with a laugh.

The lawyer didn't want to argue about the issue anymore, he wanted to get the link over quickly, and let Pete get off the witness stand and be taken away by the prison guards, but he couldn't.

If he did not add to the statement, the right to define the news report would be in the hands of the plaintiff. Above the court, never let your opponent define anything.

This is something that every lawyer should be familiar with.

"Privacy." After being lectured by Ms. Jane, the lawyer got up again to make a supplementary speech.

"Privacy is certainly important, that's beyond doubt." When he said this, his face was hot.

It is a major mistake for a lawyer to 'break his word and gain weight' in court, and to eat back his previous speech in person.

It was to be a stain on his career, to follow him for the rest of his life.

"In the past, information was not developed, we only knew the people around us, we cared about the things around us, and we didn't know anything about what was happening dozens of kilometers away."

"But now that technology is gradually developing, information dissemination is becoming more and more convenient, the Internet, television, mobile phones, we can sit on the bed and know what is happening on the other side of the world, and we can know things thousands of kilometers away while sitting at home."

"This is the infringement of personal privacy by technology and information convenience, this is the tide of the times, and it is the pace of social progress."

"Your Excellency, it would be unfair to attribute the inevitable course of history to a broadcaster with a long history of bringing so much joy to the people."

"Do you mean to ask the court to impose penalties on all broadcasters included?" Brooklyn asked.

You don't have to look at the jury seat Brooklyn to know that the lawyer's speech is just a death throe, and it can't shake the jury at all.

"We have no intention of doing so. However, the court is invited to take into account the inevitability of the invasion of the privacy of individuals by the increasingly developed means of disseminating information. ”

"The information about the Sedrake family in the news is not the result of deliberate gathering, and anyone who knows how to use a computer can get it."

"Even if the witnesses, and the other 27 people mentioned by the other party, even if they didn't read the news reports, as long as they wanted to, they still deliberately obtained this information easily through the Internet or other means."

"When we say invalid information, we don't think that personal privacy information is useless, but that it is too difficult to obtain, too little value and content to obtain, and in today's day and age, obtaining a person's family information is almost cost-free." The lawyer got through the initial panic, and finally regained his brain, and his speech became coherent.

"We receive spam text messages, scam calls, advertising emails every day, and our mailboxes are filled with various advertising leaflets every once in a while.

"Maybe you're not happy with your weight, and in two days you'll get flyers from the gym and emails for diet pills. There will also be a special call from the customer service for the Yoga Plus course. ”

"If you want to change a house, within two days, there will be a real estate manager who will come to the door to sell, and a real estate company will leave a message under your social account to introduce their house."

"We never gave them our phone number, email address, home address, but that's how they got us."

"We live in an era of information explosion, where our technology is advancing at a rapid pace and our privacy is becoming less and less private. This is a very helpless thing and an inevitable development of history. ”

"In the Middle Ages, a commoner may not know what a king looks like for the rest of his life, but now before our presidential candidate is sworn in, we know what he looks like, we know his age, we know his governing philosophy, we know his family structure......"

"This is a necessity brought about by the development of the times."

"When President Kennedy was assassinated, we can't blame the newspapers for publishing his picture, we can only blame the assassin." The lawyer's tone was sincere, and he spread his hands with a little helplessness, and walked back to his place in despair.

His latter words were convincing and caused the jury to ponder. But it doesn't matter, he will soon follow in the footsteps of bald representatives.

And it will be difficult for him to find such a good job in the legal department again. Maybe he can only try his luck in the county seat.

His sincere statement will perhaps be the one he said in E. Final statement by the Tribunal Y.9. Lady Jane did not comfort him, she sat there with a cold face, without saying a word.

For her, she can lose the case, but not because of a mistake.
