Chapter 274, upside down

"If you say that, you will think that you are discriminating against women." Nelly reminded. Brooklyn nodded casually and called Bob to prepare for the trial.

He didn't have any burden to say those words in front of Nelly. Nelly is a woman who looks like a female boxer, but is not actually a female boxer.

Nelly is very strong, what a man can do, she may not be able to do, but she doesn't think that women can't do it, which makes her look like a female boxer.

But in the same way, Nelly believes that the social obligations and responsibilities that men bear should also be borne by women.

It made her look like a female traitor. Nelly acknowledges the objective differences between men and women, but does not admit that women deserve the preferential treatment of men.

She scoffs at 'ladies first', if a stranger treats her like this, she will smile and refuse, if someone familiar jokes with her like this, she will gladly accept it, if someone familiar treats her seriously, she will turn her face and sarcastically use the most vicious language.

This made her still unable to get married until this age. It also made her an indispensable member of the small group of Court 9.

In a way, Nellie is the one who best understands Brooklyn's attitude toward so-called 'discrimination'.

The debate in Courtroom 9 over what to do to deal with racial discrimination quickly ended, and Brooklyn went to courtroom with her dossier in hand, with Nellie and Bob following behind.

Bennett is coming to an end, and it is expected to be over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. On the other side, within the New York City Child Advocacy Organization.

Frederick was sitting in his humble office, talking on the phone.

"Did Brooklyn Lee make a move?"

"What? He didn't do anything? Frederick thought for a moment and continued

"What about the NYPD?"

"Got it? Let the fools turn themselves in. ”

"The results of this test are not satisfactory, and there are major errors in your data."

"The Reagan family is such an important force, you have been in New York for so long, and you don't even know anything. I now know why the first two heads failed. ”

"Do you want to continue? Of course, of course, it is necessary to continue, the money has already been spent, the bureau has been laid out, and now it is stopped, isn't it a waste? ”

"I don't expect this plan to pull Brooklyn Lee down and cause him a little bit of trouble. I've applied to the boss for a permanent role as the head of this side, and we have time to play with Brooklyn Lee. ”

"It's too early to say who will win in the end." ………………………… Court No. 9.

The eucalyptus has entered the stage of summary statement. Anne Aldington uses the evidence presented above as a point and connects these isolated points together through meticulous logical reasoning.

How Bennett killed his mother, how his mindset changed, and how he tried to kill Jerry who was about to leave him.

After being smashed by Dexter, Bennett has fallen into the paranoid perception that 'just a trophy knock can solve the problem', trying to knock a police officer to death.

In the end, he was arrested for failure. In the midst of this, Anne Aldington continues to advance, describing Bennett's inner changes at each important juncture.

I used to be belittled by my mother and bullied by everyone. When he was in college, he met Jerry, who became his only friend.

Jerry and Bennett teamed up to participate in the College Student Campus Science and Technology Competition, and when he won the award, Bennett should be the happiest time.

Then there was the separation, and Bennett was like Cinderella in a pumpkin carriage to the prince's banquet, and when the clock struck twelve, he changed back to his old self again.

His mother's verbal violence left him unloved. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and got angry and smashed his mother to death with the most precious trophy he had.

Anne Aldington spoke unhurriedly, telling the story, almost showing Bennett's life in front of the jury, and Bennett's more than 20 years of life, she only took half an hour, of which the part of the eucalyptus still occupies two-thirds of the time.

Like a skilled butcher, she completely dismembered Bennett, exposing everything about Bennett to the public's eyes.

Finally, she waved her hand lightly and returned to the plaintiff's seat. Bennett's lawyer is still soothing Bennett, who is incompetent and furious.

He was the most responsible lawyer Brooklyn had ever met. Brooklyn has decided to have Bob register his name when the case is over, so that he can be properly recommended to those who need a public attorney in the future.

Bennett was getting happier and happier under the lawyer's reassurance, and the policemen behind them stepped forward and each stretched out a hand to press Bennett's shoulder, and Bennett immediately became honest.

The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief, straightened Bennett's crumpled clothes, and got up to face the jury.

"When we mention a noun, we don't need other adverbs or adjectives to modify it, and all kinds of adverbs and adjectives come to mind to label it. These labels are our impressions of the term. ”

"If I say Apple, what do you think of?"

"Sweet, crunchy, vitamin-supplemented, green or red, grown from trees."

"I said, boy, what do you think?"

"Cute, naughty, trick-or-treating, video game, rebellious, adolescent...... Maybe many more, if you happen to have a son, you will think of your own child first. ”

"These impression labels, while they may be biased, are the way each of us perceives the type of person or thing that the term represents."

"So, I said Mother, what do people think?"

"Maybe our mothers aren't all as great as Forrest Gump's, maybe some of our mothers are d'smiking, some are alcoholics, and some used to be J-girls."

"But no matter what, when we mention our mother, the first impression that comes to mind is that my mother tilts her head and smiles softly at us."

"Even when we are still in infancy, a mother's love for her child can still be felt by us."

"But my client, Mr. Bennett, probably never realized, and never will, that whenever his mother's name is mentioned, the feeling of his mother smiling gently at us comes to mind."

"He doesn't feel the power of a mother to give a child, and he doesn't feel any positive influence a mother has on a child." The lawyer's voice was steady, not deliberately low, but what he said was very heavy.

Brooklyn sat up straight and stopped playing with his cursor fingers.

"We grew up with the love and encouragement of our parents, and when we encountered setbacks, our parents would comfort us and tell us to try again."

"We fail, we fall into a slump, when we are embarrassed, our classmates may laugh at us, our colleagues may be gloating, our friends may be afraid of being too close to us and being unlucky to be infected, only our parents."

"Everyone, only our parents, they will not dislike us, they will soothe our frustration, make us cry happily, and vent all our grievances."

"Then they'll encourage us to 'try again,' 'I'm sure you'll succeed,' and 'you're the best.'"

"Of course I know, I'm not the best. At least I'm not as handsome as Tom Hanks, I'm not the best lawyer, I'm not the best student, I'm not the best student, I'm ...... There is no other area where we can conclusively admit that we are the best in the world. ”

"But that's what our parents say, and they really think that, and they blindly believe in us and believe that their children are the best."

"Our parents are our safe haven, no matter how cruel we are outside, we can hide in the safe haven, draw strength, and set off again."

"But my client can't."

"He doesn't have a safe haven."

"His haven is perennially stormy and stormy."

"He has never heard the praise of his parents, and the only thing that accompanied him when he grew up was the belittlement of his mother."

"We are not comfortable with strangers belittling us, let alone from our mothers?"

"Listen to these 'wonderful adjectives' from the mouth of my client, Mr. Bennett's mother." The lawyer's voice was slightly raised, which made his voice a little sharper, sounding sarcastic.

He turned and took out a document, stood in front of the jury, opened it, and read it

"You bedbug! Don't let the dishes collide with each other to make a sound! I've been warning you for more than ten years, why can't you remember? Has something eaten your brain? You stupid ass! Oh, God! Why should I give birth to you stupid donkey? ”

"It's just an appetizer." Hearing a burst of exclamations from the jury bench, the lawyer said.

"You're doomed to nothing, Bennett, I saw through you the moment I gave birth to you, you're a piece of waste, you can't do anything."

"Nobody cares about you, Bennett, recognize yourself! You're a bug, small and disgusting, why should I take care of such a bug as you! I don't care about you! Disappear from my eyes in no time! I don't want to see you! You make me sick! ”

"You're just a mess, even a word to you will be infected by your bad luck."

"It's unbelievable! How can you become a college student, a stupid pig like a donkey? How much did you give them and bribe them? ”

"People just saw that you were pitiful, so they took you to the competition, you worm! If you hadn't dragged your feet, even if you were replaced by a beggar, people would have won the same prize, and the ranking might be even higher than that of carrying you as a worm! ”

"You shit! Why can't you do a single thing? You really are a bug! No, you're not even as good as a bug! As the lawyer continued to read, the courtroom was filled with whispers.

People were stunned by Bennett's mother's vicious language, and they couldn't believe that such a mother really existed in the world.

Brooklyn had to bang the gavel to restore order to the courtroom.

"These are just the tip of the iceberg. Mr. Bennett endures such belittling and insults every day. ”

"Even though she was Mr. Bennett's mother — yes, she gave birth to Mr. Bennett, but she was hitting Mr. Bennett every moment." The lawyer knows how to be measured, and he doesn't go any further, but stops there.

Turning to an angle that amazed Brooklyn.

"If it were you, would you put such a mother who only devalues you into your own home?" The lawyer abruptly changed the subject and asked.

Several jurors subconsciously shook their heads. Are you kidding? Now they kind of understand why Bennett killed his mother.

Maybe he didn't really have the idea of 'killing' at that time, but he was chased and insulted, and he lost his mind in anger, and when he came back to his senses, he thought of all the insults in the past and decided to stand by and watch.

This is completely understandable.

"We confirmed by counting Bennett's mother's belongings that she had the keys to Bennett's residence. In other words, she could have entered without Mr. Bennett's permission. ”

"We are nervous and offended by strangers trespassing into our private territory, but what about familiar people?"

"What about this mother who has devoted her life to insulting and belittling her son, and who has spared no effort to destroy her son?"

"She is not ...... by Mr. Bennett as the owner"

“obje!datoin! This is speculation and lacks authenticity! Anne Aldington got up and shouted.

The lawyer ignored it and continued

"Without the permission of Mr. Bennett, the owner, he trespassed into Mr. Bennett's private property. Under New York State law and federal law, the owner can shoot and kill an intruder if he feels threatened. ”

"Your Excellency, this is speculation! Not a fact! Anne Aldington continued to shout. The lawyer didn't even bother with Brooklyn's ruling, his lips twitching and his speech quickening

"Mr. Bennett felt threatened from his mother, and the deceased continued verbal attacks on Bennett to humiliate Mr. Bennett."

"In this case, Mr. Bennett killed her in full accordance with the law."

"Not to mention that Mr. Bennett just knocked people unconscious, and even took people to the hospital with his roommates when they returned."

“obje!! obje!! obje!! obje!! Anne Aldington kept repeating 'against' in her mouth, trying to interrupt the opponent's output with this trick.

duangduangduang! Brooklyn struck the gavel three times and put it down, and he didn't speak, just stared straight at the lawyer who kept out.

Finally, the lawyer said what he wanted to say the most. He wants to turn Bennett's murder charges into reasonable defense.

He described Bennett's mother's verbal humiliation as a threat to Bennett, and Bennett's motive for killing as a reasonable defense after feeling threatened to his safety.

Brooklyn was even a little impressed with the lawyers. It's a genius idea! If he had defended himself in this direction from the very beginning of the trial, he might have been able to do so.

Unfortunately, when he thought of this, it was already in the stage of summarizing and stating. With the lawyer finished, he bowed slightly, then turned around, apologized to the bench, and returned to Bennett.

Brooklyn raised his hand and waved at Anne Aldington, who was standing up, signaling that he had something to say.

"I hope this is the last time I reiterate, this is a courtroom, not a shopping mall, and I ask those who are about to speak and those who are speaking to pay attention to order. Whoever treats this place as a shopping mall and ignores the order, before doing so, please be prepared to accept the punishment I prescribed! ”

"Both the prosecution and defense ignored court discipline and contempted court, and were each fined $500!"
