Chapter 253, why can people be so shameless
Brooklyn has expanded on the basis of 'law of rights' and 'freedom of media interviews'.
CuarΓ³n then asked questions about Brooklyn's extraordinarily harsh treatment of defendants.
Brooklyn didn't play tricks and answered honestly.
In addition, Brooklyn asked questions about what New Yorkers think of their nicknames, what it feels like to be the chief justice, and many other questions.
Brooklyn answered.
Not necessarily a genuine answer, but at least Brooklyn was sincere enough.
At the end of the show, Cuaron got up and hugged Brooklyn, jokingly, "It seems that what you said is right, our friendship lasted until the end of the show." β
"We're still friends, aren't we?"
"Yes." Brooklyn affirmed.
And so the interview ended.
At this time, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening.
The Caron Show is not a live show, and the content of more than two hours will be edited into a one-hour film that will be broadcast the day after tomorrow.
Brooklyn said goodbye to Caron and Will McEvoyne, and then to Bob's family in the parking lot, and tiredly sat in the passenger seat, and Ray drove home in the car.
Sitting quietly in the car, Brooklyn closed his eyes and reviewed the performance on the show, which, despite some flaws, had generally met expectations.
Wait for the weekend evening program to air, and then make follow-up adjustments according to the feedback effect.
Because the show was recorded too late on Friday, Brooklyn slept until noon on Saturday and didn't wake up.
Sitting at the dining table stirring chickpeas on a plate, Brooklyn looked in amazement at Ray, who sat across from him gobbling it up.
This guy is like a robot, obviously it was already two or three o'clock in the morning when he came back the day before, but Lei not only got up on time at seven o'clock as usual, but also was in good spirits, and he didn't see the symptoms of staying up late at all.
On the other hand, Brooklyn, maybe it was because last night's talk show was overused and he seemed very tired, if he wasn't too hungry, he could sleep until tomorrow.
After marveling at Lei's exuberant energy and inhuman biological clock, and then looking down at the chickpeas on the plate, the exclamation turned into disgust.
"Why do we still have chickpeas?"
Brooklyn asked.
In order to prevent Ray from making a 'chickpea feast', Brooklyn has already taken most of the bags of chickpeas at home to give away, and it stands to reason that there should be no chickpeas at home for the scourge of thunder.
But the viscous semi-liquid on the plate in front of me is clearly chickpeas.
"I drove to buy it."
Ray gave himself another plate of lakes and lakes, and said casually pointing in the direction of the kitchen.
In the middle of the kitchen, a large, transparent plastic bag is lying quietly, filled with chickpeas, the root of all evil.
"Ray, I remember that you are very capable of learning." Brooklyn was thinking about when to secretly give away this bag of chickpeas, and said, "Why can't you learn to cook after all this time?" β
Ray looked up and pointed to the lake on his plate.
"That's rice?!
Brooklyn wailed.
Brooklyn didn't end up eating chickpea lake, he rolled himself noodles, only to be snatched the first bowl by Ray, who had eaten all the chickpeas.
After he and Lei Du had eaten, the two discussed driving to the hospital to visit Jerry.
Jerry has finished his observation period and is about to be discharged from the hospital, and Brooklyn and Ray happen to meet Winston and Patty.
Patty is still a model of a good wife and mother, giving Winston plenty of face in front of outsiders.
She held Winston down and smiled softly at him, telling Winston to stay and talk to Brooklyn while she led Jerry to fill out the forms and get discharged.
"The police asked for our opinion. If Jerry abandons holding Bennett accountable, they're going to let Bennett go. Winston said.
"What does Jerry think?" Brooklyn asked, frowning.
He was in cahoots with Winston, and his cooperation was tacit, and knowing that Winston didn't say anything about the other situation meant that he didn't want the other scenario to become a reality.
"Now the media knows about it." "The governor's son was almost killed!" Ha! In the past few days, there have been reporters pretending to be hospital staff trying to sneak in and interview Jerry. β
"I used to be sick and hospitalized as an excuse, so I could put things off or not be interviewed."
"Now that Jerry is going to be discharged from the hospital, there has to be a result."
"Abandoning Bennett's accountability is conducive to erecting Jerry's image of tolerance, and if it works well, he can even directly try to win a position in the parliament."
Winston frowned as he said this.
He didn't look like he was explaining it to Brooklyn, but more like he was talking to himself.
"I think Jerry should leave this to Jerry's own decision." Brooklyn shook his head, walked over to Winston, and stood side by side.
"After all, it was Jerry who was betrayed by his friends and almost killed by a trophy, not you."
"Also, I don't think Jerry is interested in your 'son inheriting his father's business'."
At this point, Brooklyn tilted his head and looked Winston up and down, lost in thought.
He suddenly found that Winston's methods and vision had decreased a lot recently, and it was too different from when he used to fight wits and courage with himself.
If Winston used to be an old fox, his recent performance has been a husky.
"Don't look at me like that."
Winston said angrily
"I know what you're thinking."
"Politicians are human beings, and governors need family and friends. I'm not a robot. We also have feelings. β
Brooklyn nodded wildly in agreement, "Yes, Ms. 'Daddy' must agree." β
"I love Jerry."
Brooklyn had a 'you're right' look on his face, "Yes, yes, Ms. 'Daddy' feels the full deal about it." β
The conversation could not continue.
Patty and Jerry soon returned, and the group walked out of the hospital, surrounded by many reporters.
Winston was about to stop him, but Jerry had already taken the microphone and was ready for an interview.
"Will you sue Bennett?" The reporter asked.
Jerry nodded, "Yes." β
Brooklyn and Winston looked at each other and raised an eyebrow.
"But I'm not the plaintiff, his mother is."
Jerry continued.
He then told Bennett exactly what he had done to his mother.
This shocked journalists.
They originally thought that they were blocked in the hospital and got gossip news about the governor's son, but they didn't expect that a murder was exposed.
Let's try it soon, everyone. γ
The journalists collectively got excited. They set their sights on Winston and Brooklyn behind Jerry.
Winston is Jerry's father, and it is easy to understand that he came to pick up his son from the hospital, but Brooklyn is the judge!
In the Federation, it is common for family members and friends to visit patients in hospitals, but leaders and bosses do not, unless there is an image issue in the workplace.
For example, when it comes to a work-related injury, for example, the patient is preparing to sue the workplace.
So it's easy for reporters to see Brooklyn's appearance at the hospital as a sign that Jerry is already preparing to sue Bennett.
"Sorry, please let me go, we don't plan to reveal more just yet."
Winston gave his assistants a look, and they immediately got to work. They separated the reporters who were about to continue the interview and pulled Jerry into the van.
Brooklyn was also pulled by Winston, squeezing the reporters out of the way.
Closing the car door and ignoring the reporter slapping the car, the driver started the car and drove away.
After shaking off the reporter, Winston sat up straight and criticized harshly
"You're being reckless, Jerry."
"How can you tell the media so directly?"
"If you don't tell the media like that, do you have to tell you first?" Jerry didn't take Winston's set, and replied directly, "Come on, Reilly, you're going to make me drop the prosecution and make me act magnanimous." You've asked me that's been the way you've been since I was a child But he never asked me what I thought. β
"Jerry." Patty frowned and shouted as if warning, "He's your father." You can't call them by their first names. β
Jerry pursed his lips, his face full of disapproval, but he didn't say anything more.
Winston was silent, his anger and grievances felt even in Brooklyn beside him.
"In what capacity did Bennett say it when he told you about it?" Brooklyn asked, breaking the silence.
It's already happening, and Brooklyn prefers to fix the problem first and then learn from it. Besides, this is Winston's family matter, this time Winston didn't speak, and he is not easy to get involved, so he can only start from the profession and give some help.
"He was afraid of being found out by the police and consulted me."
Facing Brooklyn, Jerry was obviously much more disciplined and replied in a low voice.
"Lawyer vs. employer?" Brooklyn confirmed.
"It should ...... Not count. After thinking about it, Jerry was unsure of the fact that "there is no agreement between us, he just asked me to ask if he would go to jail." I didn't charge and I didn't sign the agreement. β
"But you're giving your opinion as a lawyer." Brooklyn hit the nail on the head.
"Your conversation must be protected by the lawyer's criminal immunity and cannot be used as evidence, and you have violated the protection of criminal immunity by publishing the content of your conversation to the media, and he can in turn prosecute you."
Brooklyn glanced at Winston and Patty, nodded to the end, and then said, "Winston, take me to the airport." β
The Scorpio team's plane this afternoon, in order to show its attention, Brooklyn decided to go and greet it in person.
The car stopped at the airport and saw Brooklyn get out of the car, and Jerry was about to follow, but was stopped by Patty.
"It's work, Mom." Jerry said, "We have an important guest arriving in New York this afternoon, and I have to go with Brooklyn to greet him. β
Patty withdrew her arm that was blocking the way, and didn't say anything more, just told Jerry to rest and get home and see them when he had time.
Jerry said yes, but turned his back to Winston and pouted wildly with Patty.
Standing beside Brooklyn and watching the van leave, he muttered, "I'm not going back." Go back and see if you guys are arguing? β
Brooklyn glanced at Jerry and stood there for a moment before Ray arrived in the car.
"David said it was a three-o'clock plane." Ray glanced at the time and said, "He's rushing this way, he should be able to catch up." β
It's just under two o'clock, and there's still more than an hour to go.
The three of them found a cafΓ©, and before they could sit down, Ray hurried out of the cafΓ©.
Jerry looked at Ray's back curiously, curious about what he was going to do, but didn't dare to ask.
In the small group of Courtroom 9, Jerry has the best relationship with Bob and Nelly, and Jerry feels very comfortable in front of them. But in the face of Brooklyn and Ray, Jerry felt uncomfortable.
"He's gone buy Powerball."
Brooklyn took the cashier's change and answered Jerry's questions.
The two of them found a window seat and sat down, and Brooklyn said, "Yesterday the Powerball was drawn, and he didn't buy it." β
"But hasn't 1.7 billion already been driven away?" Jerry asked, puzzled.
Some time ago, the Powerball prize pool was as high as 1.7 billion, and countless people went crazy about it, and the number of Powerball buyers ushered in an unprecedented peak.
"1.7 billion is just an example, and the usual Powerball jackpot is also very tempting." Brooklyn explained, but in fact, he was also dripping in his heart.
Last time, Thunder hit a million, of course, it is worth rejoicing, but Brooklyn has never seen anyone who lives purely by buying Powerball.
How could Ray not understand this?
The two waited for a while, but Ray didn't come back, but David arrived first.
After waiting a little longer, Ray was late.
"You're going to sue Bennett?"
The four of them chatted for a while, and the conversation naturally shifted to Jerry and Bennett. David asked.
He's been busy with the Angus family lately, and he doesn't know what happened to Bennett and Jerry.
But on the way there, he heard Jerry being interviewed in front of the hospital from the car radio.
Seeing Jerry nodding, David went out to make a phone call, and when he came back, he said, "Bennett is at the 24th police station, and he insisted that he accidentally pushed you, causing you to hit the cabinet, and the trophy was knocked off and hit your head." β
Jerry was so angry at the news that his face turned red.
"I was about to move and he wouldn't let me go, and we had an argument in which I packed my backpack with my back to him and he knocked me unconscious with a trophy."
"Never expose your back to your enemies." Ray suddenly burst out with a sentence.
David and Jerry looked at him in unison.
Brooklyn also shifted his gaze from his phone screen to Ray.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"If you don't expose your back to Bennett, you won't be knocked unconscious by him."
Ray said.
"You have a point." Brooklyn nodded and agreed.
At the same time, he began to wonder if he should find another psychiatrist to take Ray to see if his PTSD might have relapsed.
was so disturbed by Ray, and Jerry was not as angry as he was just now.
"Do you need me to help you refuse?" David asked, "They learned that you had been discharged from the hospital and were going to make a note for you." β
"Thank you. But no. Jerry thought for a moment and said, "When I'm done picking them up, I'll go back with them." I want to meet Bennett. β
"What are you doing with him?"
Brooklyn swiped Anne Aldington's social account and asked without raising her head.
Anne Aldington is still at war with sexual minorities, which has become the norm, and whenever she doesn't know what to report, the media will come to Anne Aldington's social account to find material for articles.
And as the war between the two sides has been lengthened, Anne Aldington's social account has also gathered a lot of fans. There are two groups of people who follow her, one is very repulsive to LGBTQ people, they share Anne's position, and help Anne fight to the death with LGBTQ people in every dynamic.
The other group is the sexual minority group and their supporters, who comment wildly under every dynamic of Anne, and go crazy against the previous group.
"I wonder why people can be so shameless."
Jerry's eyes widened and he said indignantly.
