Chapter 231, Head Iron

e.. Y, Inner Chamber, Office of the Chief Justice. The door to the office was closed, and the people who passed by were silent and hurried.

Inside the office. Juror No. 1 in front of Brooklyn, the plaintiff, and the defendant sat in order. Brooklyn stood still after two laps behind the table, one hand crossed over his waist, and the other slapping the raffle ticket on the table, crackling.

"In the last paid program, you tried to drag the plaintiff down by delaying time."

"This time, you are using this kind of indiscriminate trick to sabotage the trial."

"What do you want to do?"

"Are you going to bribe the judge next time?"

"Your Excellency, this is slander." Ms. Jane looked up. Brooklyn asked, laughing angrily, sitting on his ass in his chair with his elbows propped up on the table

"Okay, then let's talk about punishment."

"Bribing jurors affects judicial fairness, disrupts court hearings, and has an extremely adverse impact on society.

"A fine of $5 million is required to conduct a full investigation, re-examine all cases previously involved, and re-examine all cases involved. Not excessive, right? ”

"Considering that the conduct is extremely egregious, and the consequences and consequences are extremely serious and far-reaching, it is not too much to require all past and future cases to be heard by the Chief Magistrate, without the use of a jury system, and to require a review by the Circuit Court after the conclusion of the trial."

In order to avoid repeating the old trick, bribing jurors again and letting the judge rule directly will try to ensure judicial fairness as much as possible. What do you think, Ms. Jane? "When it comes to trial skills, Brooklyn doesn't think he's very good, but when it comes to crooked ways and making trouble for the parties, Brooklyn is too experienced.

"At the same time, in order to ensure that special means are not used to influence or obstruct the administration of justice under unknown circumstances, the court will impose a preventive fine in advance for each case involved, according to the nature of the case, is it not excessive?"

"How about the fine will be kept by the court for the duration of the appeal of the case?"

"Jerry!" Brooklyn finished speaking and shouted outside. Jerry ran in in a hurry.

"Count the number of all relevant cases accepted by the court, classify them according to the nature of the cases, and calculate a list of the amount of fines for obstruction of justice."

"The fine is calculated in the amount of $5 million."

"Okay." Jerry looked at Ms. Jane, then at Brooklyn, nodded in response, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Ms. Jane couldn't sit still. She stopped Jerry, who was leaving, and bowed her body forward, stared at Brooklyn, and said seriously

"Judge Brooklyn, we didn't know he was going to be involved." She gestured to Juror 1 and continued

"The $5 million fine you have issued, and the series of measures you have just mentioned, are extremely unfair."

"Fair? Ha! Brooklyn chuckled

"I think there is a tendency to do that, and in this case, it did. It's a criminal record, isn't it? ”

"If these measures are not taken, how does the court know that they will not do so?"

"You're discriminating, Your Excellency."

"If I really discriminate, I have already been asked by the court to suspend business and protect it secretly because it is involved in a trial and there is important evidence that may be useful to the trial and may be destroyed."

"As long as the book does not end, the secret protection will not end for a day." In some important cases, when the court believes that an important witness may be in danger and important evidence may be destroyed, the court has the right to protect the witness against his subjective will and prevent him or her before the end of the trial.

Protective measures include, but are not limited to, secret concealment, isolation, prohibition of contact, restriction of freedom, and other means.

If Brooklyn thinks the entire building is important evidence, important enough that someone might carry out a self-sacking sabotage with a Z-pack, he can ask for the entire building to be sealed off.

Of course, if he did so, he would inevitably face multiple scrutiny, as well as subsequent prosecutions and claims.

But Brooklyn said it anyway, and it was an expression of attitude. Hard-hitting, he's not afraid! Ms. Jane gave Brooklyn a deep look and backed down.

"Your Excellency, this incident is an inappropriate behavior, which has caused more serious consequences, and I am willing to accept the punishment." If Brooklyn continues to fight hard, Brooklyn will really turn the above methods into reality, and Brooklyn itself will not be much better, and Ms. Jane will also end miserably.

Whatever her intentions, it was a certainty that she would bring huge losses to the company. The board will have stripped her skin.

Hearing Ms. Jane's words, Brooklyn bared her teeth and smiled viciously. He knew, he won.

"Whether the fine of $300,000 needs to be retried requires the opinion of the plaintiff." Brooklyn glanced at Juror 1 and continued

"The court reserves the power to hold accountable." Juror No. 1 remained silent at all times. He was also a law school student and knew that retaining power was not the same as exercising it.

Brooklyn said that he reserved the power to pursue accountability, and did not prosecute him on behalf of the court. This is just a precautionary measure.

From the courtroom to the inner court, he could already see that Brooklyn was protecting him, he didn't need to speak, now he just had to be dumb.

Later, there will be a time when he speaks. Seeing that Juror No. 1 sensibly chose to remain silent, Brooklyn turned his gaze to the plaintiff's lawyers.

"We are asking for one of the reserve jurors to be replaced." The plaintiff's lawyer said. …………………… Out of the courthouse, Juror 1 was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people.

Word has gotten about what happened in Court 9, and now that the parties have appeared, the media certainly cannot remain indifferent.

In the face of enthusiastic media reporters, Juror 1 recovered his lost mouth.

"What did the broadcaster ask for after you won the jackpot?" Juror No. 1 stood on the steps and did not refuse to face the question.

"They didn't bribe me and didn't have any kind of contact with me."

"Why are you the one who won the lottery? What does this mean at this point in time? ”

What does that mean? I think you'll need to interview Ms. Jane, who should be able to answer your question better," said Juror 1 after a pause

"I can't give you the jury's specific views on the case, but the trial was open and everyone could see it, and judging from the scene, I can only say that it was not very favorable."

"Have you ever wondered why it's you?"

"Of course, I thought about it after I was brought up by the plaintiff's lawyer in court."

"So do you have an answer?"

"Of course, because I was one of those who was excluded by the defense when the jury was selected, but was refuted by the plaintiff."

"Why should they exclude you?"

"You need to ask. Maybe it's because I don't like it? The jurors were smiling, showing no sign of anger.

"Will you be held accountable?"

"I don't know. Judge Brooklyn was strict with his jurors, and he was a strict judge who had the least violation. The court reserves the right to hold me accountable, but I think if I'm lucky enough, the Brooklyn judge will see that I'm being framed and won't pursue it? Maybe. ”

"You just used the word framed, what does that mean? Do you think it's framing you? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that." The jurors shrugged

"I'm just saying, why don't the raffles in the mall be advertised in advance? Why the sudden and hasty event on the weekend? Why happens to be the closest mall to my home? Why did I happen to win the lottery? ”

"Do you have any guesses about this?"

"Just guessing?" The juror asked with a smirk.

"Yes, guess. Do you have any guesses to share with us? Lucy of A asked affirmatively.

"Of course, I have too many guesses. After all, it's such a coincidence. The jurors paused, then shook their heads and smiled

"But isn't life like that, countless coincidences that make up our lives. As for what I think, it doesn't matter, what matters is what other people think, doesn't it? "The jurors stood on the steps and talked eloquently, answering all questions, and affirmatively expressing the meaning of 'admitting that they are unlucky', but they also revealed the feeling of 'understanding everything' everywhere, and the tea was full of tea.

Brooklyn stood in front of the window, silently watching the show below until the crowd dispersed. He turned to Bob and commanded

"Remember, all the future eucalyptus will be strictly reviewed." Ms. Jane had already left with Peake, and the incident of touching the jurors was held high and gently let go.

Except for fines, there seems to be nothing to lose. However, the New York office is located in Brooklyn and is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

It is also a large company that crosses state borders, and once it is involved, it is inevitably impossible to conduct a trial in the state court. In other words, as long as the company in New York is involved, it will definitely be e.. What is accepted by Y will inevitably fall into the hands of Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is talking about the pieces involved, not the ones that become parties. There is an essential difference.

In addition to becoming a party, the cases involved may also be cases that require cooperation in evidence collection and investigation, cases where sensitive information needs to be disclosed to the police, and cases in which certain measures need to be taken to cooperate with the action.

For example, the office area is closed, and the broadcast of news related to certain situations is prohibited in order to prevent leaks. In the past, these applications could be made in a direction that was favorable to them, and the judges would generally turn a blind eye to approve them.

In the future...... He strictly blocked the case and did not cause any damage. Because this time it did cross the line.

Whether it is to contact a juror and take bribes, or to frame a juror and accept bribes, judges will not tolerate it.

In something else maybe e.. The Y and the Second Circuit will also fight with Brooklyn, and there will be a united front in this matter.

Brooklyn ordered that any 'valiant' judge blatantly ignore it would be tantamount to dissuading himself from the entire justice system.

Bob nodded, smiling a little lewdly.

"Do you want to notify the judge on duty?" Bob asked.

"Of course, of course, the judge on duty must be notified." Brooklyn rightfully said

"Tell them that all the pieces involved will be sent to me in the future. It's up to me to decide. ”…………………… From e.. Y left, and Ms. Jane's face was a little ugly.

You don't have to think about it to know that although what Brooklyn said today is a scare and a ratio of the cards between the two sides, Brooklyn will inevitably take some measures against it.

Coincidentally, the office is located in Brooklyn, which belongs to e.. Y Jurisdiction. Brooklyn's unfinished words about Bob, Ms. Jane thought about it.

For the convenience of the position, there are just a few routines back and forth, which is easy to think of. Ms. Jane already had a premonition of a difficult environment to live in the future, and considered whether to recommend to the board of directors whether to move out of Brooklyn.

"Ms. Jane, Brooklyn Lee is a vengeful judge, and you're going to get yourself in a lot of trouble." Jason Bull dutifully reminded of the loyalty of people with money and money.

"What are we supposed to do?" Ms. Jane asked. Jason Bull shook his head silently as he thought of the years when his ATC was blacklisted by Brooklyn.

That ended with him taking the initiative to admit his mistakes. Otherwise, the ATC would still not be able to enter Court No. 9, and with the current status of the chief justice of Brooklyn, the ATC will probably not be able to enter the E. Y's gate is up.

"Brooklyn Lee is a man who eats soft rather than hard." Jason Bull concludes on the face of the banknote

"What he values most is the authority of the court."

"You're challenging his authority, and that's the quickest way to provoke him."

"Then you refused to admit your mistake, and instead chose to have a hard top with him, which made him completely angry."

"With all due respect, Ms. Jane, your every step is precisely stepping on the minefield of Brooklyn Lee, and the chances of mitigation are constantly decreasing."

"What I need is advice, not complaints. Mr. Bull. Ms. Jane sat there and said coldly.

In fact, her heart is not as calm as it seems. Offending a chief justice of a federal court for no reason, if it is not dealt with properly, the board of directors of the company will not let her go.

Now it seems to be calm, it is the company board of directors giving her time to deal with it, and when the company call does come, Ms. Jane swears with his IQ that it is definitely not a condolence call or a support call.

"Admit your mistakes." Jason Bull said

"Apologize to him and satisfy his authority." Ms. Jane frowned, a little unhappy with the solution.

"Is there no other way?" Jason Bull shook his head and recounted the fact that the ATC had been blacklisted by Brooklyn.

"In the end, I took the initiative to apologize and promised never to behave in his court again that he was not satisfied, so I was able to enter Court No. 9."

"Brooklyn Lee, before becoming Chief Justice, was an e. The most famous criminal judge and the most famous criminal judge in all of New York. He has dealt with a wide range of complex criminal cases. Hailed as a supernova in New York's judicial community. ”

"If you've seen his own TV coverage, you know that Brooklyn Lee is known for being harsh."

"All the criminals in New York know that they can't fall into his hands."
