Chapter 230, off-board moves

In the afternoon of the same day, Brooklyn and Winston had a 'dream linkage'. In an interview with the media, when asked what he thought of the 'freedom' question raised by the host A, Brooklyn gave his opinion.

Just after trying to invoke the law of rights in court to annotate the freedom of speech of the news media, not long after the adjournment, the host of A posted a post on social platforms to express his views on 'freedom'.

He said a lot, and the summary is that he does not agree with the interpretation of the law of rights, and freedom does not equal chaos.

Brooklyn agrees.

"Yes, freedom does not equal chaos." After a pause, Brooklyn added

"We seem to be pursuing too much freedom, clinging to it, and then being limited by freedom, becoming less free." Brooklyn said a lot of 'freedom' in one sentence, which made A's reporter Lucy a little dizzy.

"Can you elaborate on that? Brooklyn? Lucy asked. Brooklyn turned off the engine of the car he had just started, put one arm on the window, and continued

I mean, we read too much about freedom and don't know that the act itself violates the intent of freedom. The pursuit of absolute freedom breeds chaos and crime. ”

"The robber robbed the bank in pursuit of freedom, and he could use his freedom to defend himself." Brooklyn imitated the posture of a robber and spoke viciously

"That's right! By stopping me from robbing a bank, you are restricting my freedom and violating my rights! ”

"Hahn will also be acquitted because our punishment for his criminal acts violated his right to freedom."

"Hahn wanted to kill, so he did, and we stopped him from killing people, and we stopped him from pursuing freedom."

"The Bay Area killer can also defend himself with his freedom, because he wants to dismember people, and when we stop him, we are preventing him from pursuing freedom."

"Obviously, that's not the case."

This also applies to the question just now, freedom is not about doing whatever you want. The law of rights does not give people the power to do whatever they want. No law gives people that power. ”

"Alright, Ms. Lucy, that's all I have to say now, it's time for us to end the interview." After a pause, Brooklyn joked

"Otherwise, you're restricting my freedom."

"Of course, of course not." Lucy hurriedly withdrew the microphone. Brooklyn waved at her, restarted the car, and left the parking lot.

On the other hand, Reilly Winston also raised the issue during a lecture at Baruch College. Winston spoke of freedom in such a sincere tone that he even put down his speech.

Facing the crowded young faces in the auditorium, Winston said seriously

"I was past your age, and believe me, we were bolder than you then."

"Leaves, bands, alcohol, sex, travel...... Whatever is forbidden by school, we will do it. We see the school's rules as restricting our freedoms. ”

"We are proud to think that we are a group of fighters who fight for freedom!"

"But that's not the case, students, school is a place of learning, and the school rules here are for us to learn more useful things before we go out here."

"Trust me, whatever you want to do, leaves, bands, alcohol, parties, sex, travel...... You can have a lot of time after graduation to try and experience these things, even to the point where you don't want to experience them, and you get bored. ”

"We are not fighters for freedom, and we are not fighting for freedom."

"We just unleash the desires of our hearts and call them freedom in the name of freedom. Freedom is not degenerate"

"The boundaries between them are very ambiguous."

"Freedom is not unbridled, they are fundamentally different." In the evening, A reported on Brooklyn's interview in the parking lot and Winston's speech, and A, the host who was once a favorite of Brooklyn, commented on it.

"On this point, I agree with Brooklyn Lee. The pursuit of absolute freedom breeds chaos and crime. ”

"Everyone should be appropriately restricted, not to restrict people's pursuit of freedom, but to allow people to better pursue freedom, balancing the rights of all people from being violated." A said the news presenter.

The guest next to him immediately asked

"So, do you agree with Brooklyn that the media needs to be restricted?" This time, the A News host was silent.

Winston's speech and interview with Brooklyn caused quite a bit of discussion. There's a lot to talk about in New York City during this time.

The new Chief Justice, Brooklyn Lee argues with a moderator, Cedric Eucalyptus, the Bay Area Killer, the new governor, and the Christmas that just passed...... Among them, the relationship between the first two is very close and has received widespread attention.

Now Mr. Governor seems to be caught up in the cracks as well. Should the media be restricted? How far should the interpretation of the law of rights go?

Did Brooklyn Lee win or did A host succeed? People are enthusiastically expressing their opinions, which makes the topic heat up and get hotter and hotter.

Jason Bull is also voicing his opinion.

"The law of rights doesn't give us more advantages." In the face of Ms. Jane's suggestion to open up a new 'battlefield' based on the law of rights, he shook his head and said

"As Brooklyn told the host, the Bill of Rights only gives us the right amount of freedom of speech, and the depth of interpretation of the Constitution is determined by the judges, and judging by what Brooklyn has interviewed, it's clear that he won't favor us."

"Choosing the right to law only allows us to lose faster and more completely." Although during Ms. Laura's testimony, with the guidance of Ms. Jane and Jason Bull, Pique withstood the onslaught of the plaintiff, the situation is still not optimistic.

At this stage, the plaintiff has a huge advantage both in terms of public opinion and in the trial. Don't look at the propaganda channels in hand, the voice is loud, in fact, not many people are on their side.

Not to mention the right and wrong of the eucalyptus itself, if the individual is opposed to the company, the federal people will naturally sympathize with the weak, thinking that the individual has been wronged, and everything is wrong with the company.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and they have two days to deliberate and find a new line of defense.

"Mr. Jason, I'll pay you $17w, not for you to rebel." Ms. Jane said with a cold face.

She is a strong person, whether she is working or living, she gives people a cold feeling that no one should enter.

Jason Bull choked and was tempted to shake it off, but given the poor numbers on his ATC account, he held back.

"And what about your opinion?" Seeing that Jason Bull did not continue to object, Ms. Jane asked.

"Judge." Jason Boer pondered.

"We've got to get the judges."

"From the previous trials, it's clear that not only are the juries leaning toward the plaintiffs, but the judges don't like us either."

"In the absence of a re-selection of the jury, we have to win the favor of the judge."

"If the jury were to be changed, would you be sure you would win?" Ms. Jane asked suddenly. Jason Bull didn't speak, but looked straight at her.

"It's not a criminal case, it's theoretically okay." Peake chimed in.

"What needs to be done?" Ms. Jane asked.

"I'm sorry." Jason Bull scrambled to speak before Peake could speak, and he pointed to the caller's cell phone before he could speak, got up and left the room.

"If the jury is unable to fulfill its obligations, the judge may reconvene the jury." Peake watched Jason Bull leave.

"But doing so can easily cause the judges to resent us and make the judges feel even worse about us." Ms. Jane pondered for a moment

"Get it done. I need the results before the court session on Monday. ”…………………… Unbeknownst to Brooklyn, who was already thinking about his jury, he used the weekend to perfect the e.g. Y's reform plan is very fulfilling.

Cedric Eucalyptus has entered the current stage, if nothing else, it is basically coming to an end, and when the eucalyptus is completely over, he only needs to do a few things step by step, and he will be able to successfully deal with e.. Y has been 'transformed'.

On Monday, the unexpected came. Court No. 9. Before Brooklyn announced that the trial would continue, the plaintiffs' attorneys stepped forward.

"Your Excellency, the defense had contact with the jury last weekend. We want to replace the juror with whom we came into contact. Brooklyn looked up and looked coldly at the dock.

Jason Bull shrunk his neck and stepped aside, keeping Ms. Jane and Peake in the middle of Brooklyn's field of vision.

"Quiet." Brooklyn stared at the dock and pounded the gavel to the duangduang, pressing down the rioting courtroom.

"Which juror did you come into contact with?" Brooklyn asked. Without the plaintiff having to speak, Juror No. 1, who was sitting closest to Brooklyn, stepped forward on his own.

"Mr. Juror. I think you've read the agreement carefully. Brooklyn then looked away from the dock and onto Juror 1

"Or you're ready to have a lawyer and face the lawsuits in court, right?" Juror No. 1 hurriedly shook his head.

"Your Excellency, I have not had any contact with either of the parties."

"Did you enter a raffle on Sunday at noon and win the grand prize, a Cadillac?" The plaintiff's lawyer asked.

"Yes. But that's a mall event, and you can enter a raffle if you spend $1,000 or more. Juror 1 explained.

"Unfortunately, the sponsor of this event is the broadcaster." The plaintiff's lawyer took out a photocopy and opened it.

It was a contract with the mall to sponsor a '1,000 or more into a raffle' event at Brooklyn Field Mall, and the Brooklyn Field mall would have a logo on the raffle ticket and an appearance on the shopping channel a week later.

The plaintiff's lawyer took out another raffle ticket and handed it to Brooklyn. Brooklyn searched for a palm-sized raffle ticket for a long time, and with the help of the plaintiff's lawyer, he found three rice-grain-sized logos in a colorful balloon sign in the upper right corner of the raffle ticket.

This behavior made Brooklyn laugh. He reached out and nodded, and Lady Jane asked

"Do you admit that you deliberately made contact with the jurors?" Ms. Jane stood up in a hurry

"No, Your Excellency. It's just a normal business dealing. With that, she began to dig out the papers

"In order to find new customers for the shopping channel, an internal meeting was held within the company as early as half a year ago, and it was finally decided to adopt the plan of sponsoring the mall to hold events to find new customers."

"We didn't know that there were jurors among the people involved." After a pause, Ms. Zhen said solemnly

"On behalf of the broadcaster, I apologize to the court for this inappropriate activity and am willing to bear the corresponding punishment."

"Our company is willing to compensate for all losses caused by our company's improper business practices." Brooklyn looked at the plaintiff's lawyer.

"We are asking the court to reopen the case in consideration of the impact of this event on the jury." The plaintiff's lawyer said with a straight face.

Didn't he know that this was the other party's trap? Didn't he know that Juror No. 1 might be the one who was trapped?

But there was no way, as a lawyer, he could only conclude that Juror No. 1 had intimate contact with him, which would adversely affect the case.

Brooklyn looked at Juror 1 again. 1 The good jurors glared at Ms. Jane and gasped for breath.

Brooklyn looked at the dock one last time. Jason Bull tapped the edge of the table with his head down, as if he was going to pull out a Hogwarts castle there.

Ms. Jane held her head high, and her face was not discolored. Pique kept his head down, fiddling with his papers, not daring to look up.

There was another chatter in the auditorium, and the chatter soon disappeared, and everyone turned their attention to Brooklyn.

The ball is kicked back to Brooklyn.

"Because ......"

"Your Excellency, Judge." As soon as Brooklyn spoke, he heard the voice of Juror No. 1. He paused his next speech and turned to Juror 1.

"Your Excellency, I can return that damn Cadillac to." Juror No. 1 said through gritted teeth

"I was able to quit the jury without apologizing for my inappropriate behavior, or even accepting the court's accountability."

"I am willing to pay full compensation for this. But others are innocent. ”

"They weren't part of this damn event. I was the only one who participated in the event. ”

"You can have a bench jury member take my place." He raised his head, looked at Ms. Jane from afar, and said through gritted teeth

"I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time and energy because of my personal actions."

"But all of this just happened over the weekend of last week, and there is no need to declare a mistrial." Juror No. 1 is one of Brooklyn's favorite jurors, and if the trial goes well, Brooklyn will select him to be a jury representative.

The jury was handpicked in Brooklyn, and not only did they sit in trial, but a few of them had a legal education.

Juror No. 1 is one of them. It has to be said that during the previous jury selection period, they excluded a large number of prospective jurors with legal education backgrounds, and Juror No. 1 was the only one left.

Now they're getting Juror No. 1 down. Even if the case was not retried as desired, the remaining jurors were more likely to be fooled.

After a few days of contact, Juror No. 1 has established the prestige of wanting to be in the jury, and if he is killed, the jury will fall into a situation where the jury will be leaderless, and the possibility of being deceived will be greatly increased.

Even if they are not fooled, they may be forced to declare a mistrial due to the inability to unify their opinions during the collegial stage, and let the case re-enter the trial procedure.

No matter how you deal with it, it's a winner. Ms. Jane has considered every aspect of the incident. The only thing to worry about is Brooklyn.
