Chapter 285, an old friend from afar
"Who is the owner of the other male voice in the recording? Why should I deal with you? ”
"You have two questions. I don't know who the other voice is, but the technical department is doing a voiceprint comparison and the results will be available soon. As for why he was dealing with me, I don't know, I need to wait for the results of the voiceprint comparison to ask him. Next. ”
"Do you have any guesses about the identity of the voice's owner?"
"No, I'm a judge, and I need to rely on facts, not speculation. I will not suspect anyone until I have definitive evidence. Like I said, I'm not biased against anyone. Next. ”
"You mentioned earlier that these 11 will be prosecuted, where are you going to sue them?"
"Are you referring to the court or the cause of action?" Brooklyn asked, uncertain.
"The courts." The reporter replied succinctly. Brooklyn glanced at the nameplate on the reporter's chest. This is a reporter from the New York Times.
"State courts. Because I am a party to the case, and I am e.. Chief Justice Y, in E. All judges need to recuse themselves. The state courts shall have jurisdiction and this is sufficient for the purposes of the state courts. In addition, the cause of action is also very simple, defamation, fabrication, distortion of facts, slander, infringement of the right to reputation, etc., I will write the specific complaint myself. Next. ”
"Are you thinking about reconciliation? What if the other party asks for compensation? ”
"No, it won't. Unless they can turn back time and make up for all the damage they've caused. Now there are more than 1,000 citizens outside, who don't know what is happening, standing in the cold wind and shivering in the cold wind and choosing to join the march on the basis of their trust, they should have sat in the warm living room or in bed to spend time with their families. Reconciliation is irresponsible to these more than a thousand deceived citizens. Next. ”
"Judging from the court footage, you are indeed protecting Jonas Sinardo, and Ms. Rebecca's concerns are not unfounded, how do you explain that?" Brooklyn glanced at the reporter who asked the question and shook his head
"In the second video, I said that I don't cross paths with two kinds of people. One is that they can't understand what others are saying, and they are only immersed in their own world, thinking that the world is who they think they are. The other is someone who is completely unable to communicate. You happen to belong to both. So, I don't want to have anything to do with you. ”
"But given that I promised at the beginning of the press conference that I would answer everyone's questions, I'm making an exception today. Listen up. ”
"The punishment was against Rebecca and others for disrupting the order of the court, contempting the court, and insulting the judge, and there are many media reporters present who are also my regular courtroom visitors, you can ask them, who of them has not been kicked out by me, and who has not been 'ticketed' by me."
"My punishment is for the incident itself, not for the color of the person's skin or race."
"My actions in court are in full compliance with the requirements of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the professional ethics of judges."
"Or if today's defendant is replaced by the Red Devil Hahn, or Emma Gilson...... Anyone else, do you still think Rebecca's request is reasonable? Don't look at everyone with your narrow thinking and vision, and don't ripped everything to racial discrimination. They are all the same in my eyes, just defendants. Alright, next. ”
"We note that during the trial you challenged the charges charged by the prosecution, which has never appeared in your previous trial records, why did you do that? Are your doubts alluding to the fact that Chandler Kane was a racist? ”
"Don't always try to put a hat on someone. Chandler Kane is probably not a racist, and I haven't heard anything about him. I have never heard of him doing anything about racial discrimination. This challenge is merely a challenge to the indictment. Despite Chandler Kane's response, I am not satisfied with his answer. A competent prosecutor should be as thoughtful as possible. Just as prosecutors like to include both first-degree and second-degree murder in indeterminate indictments. This is a manifestation of the prosecutor's thoughtfulness and ability. Whether to write or not to write is a question for prosecutors to consider, and whether to accept or not is an issue for judges to consider. He didn't even attend my court hearing once, and he decided that I wouldn't be able to deal with 'racial discrimination'. This is his prejudice against me. I hope we have a chance to have a good chat. As a prosecutor, it's not good to be biased against judges. Alright, next. "When more than 100 reporters asked questions, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
Brooklyn did what he said, and he answered every question that every reporter asked.
But the questions from reporters are endless, and if reporters are really allowed to ask questions, this press conference may not end until today next year.
As a result, Brooklyn did not give reporters a second chance to ask questions. He pointed to a few people who had the privilege of walking into the e.. Parade participants of Y.
"Do you have any questions?" The participants were stunned and waved their hands again and again. They were already guilty of the recording, and what questions to ask Brooklyn were there.
Brooklyn nodded, picked up the microphone, and said
"It's not something I want to see things get to this point. Also something I didn't expect. ”
"Those who know me well know that I am a rather boring person, especially in court." He tugged at the robes he was wearing
"I had to do this in order to be worthy of this dress, worthy of the oath taken at the time of inauguration."
"I don't say this to complain or complain. It was my own choice, and no one forced me to do it. ”
"I just wish I could be at least a qualified judge."
"When the public suffers injustice, when they are not understood, when they are framed, when they are misunderstood, and even wronged, I only hope that they will at least remember, e.. There is also a judge named Brooklyn Lee, and maybe I can go to him and try it myself. ”
"Rest assured, as I said in court yesterday morning, I will not 'treat you differently' because of your ethnicity, the color of your skin, what you have done, or any other trait that could be misleading. In court, you are all the same. Either the plaintiff or the defendant. After a pause, Brooklyn walked over to the table and gestured to the media area
"Of course, there is also this group of annoying media reporters, I hope you can be quiet in the future, I am tired of 'fines'." These words caused the reporters to smile and lighten the overly solemn atmosphere of the scene.
"Finally, I'd like to say a few more words."
"Our judicial system is still in the process of continuous improvement, and there will inevitably be problems, loopholes, and when we encounter problems, we should solve them, and when we encounter loopholes, we should plug them. And not disappointed. ”
"Please have a little more faith and patience in our justice system."
"I know it has a lot of imperfections. But isn't that what we're all about? ”
"We are working hard to improve the judicial system, which requires the dedication of generations of justice, as well as your help and trust."
"Well, it's almost two o'clock now. It's time for me to go back to sleep. ”…………………… The press conference has ended.
e.. The shivering people outside were dismissed in a daze, not yet knowing what was happening at the press conference.
All 11 affirmative action participants were taken away by the police. Reporters left one after another and went back to work overtime to catch up on the manuscript.
Brooklyn hugged her friends goodbye and got into David's car. On the way, he clutched his phone tightly, trying to keep his composure.
The problem seems to be solved, but it is not. There is still one last link left before it is complete. The three brothers arrived at David's house, and Brooklyn took a shower, leaned back in bed, and waited for the phone to ring.
Four o'clock in the morning. Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~ The phone screen lights up. Brooklyn couldn't wait to pick up his phone and check it out.
The first message came from John Manning. Despite the anticipation, Brooklyn was nervous.
Through the exchange of interests, he said that John Manning would solve the pressure from above for him and make room for his own performance.
Although John Manning said yes on the second call, Brooklyn feared that he would fall short until he got a definite result.
The exchange of interests could give John Manning a greater say in the judicial system, and it could also bring endless benefits to Brooklyn.
But if he fails, Brooklyn loses all he has. What John Manning lost was just a chance to go further.
Resolved.] After reading the text message with trepidation, Brooklyn breathed a long sigh of relief, lay on his back on the bed, and laughed silently.
He, the bet wins! By now, Brooklyn can finally declare that he is the biggest winner in this sudden, but long-planned storm!
Faced with Frederick Samir's trap, Brooklyn pushed the boat with the tide and turned the guest first. Borrow the platform built by Frederick to integrate strength, increase influence, and clear the obstacles ahead.
In his final remarks at the press conference, he had successfully tied himself to the judicial system. From now on, as long as it is not a big problem such as treason or espionage, the judicial system will not easily abandon him.
He will be the leader of a new generation within the justice system. He will no longer be a follower of John Manning, he will no longer be a member of Harvard.
He will become the object of support of a part of the people, Harvard, one of the many representatives of the academic school.
In terms of status, he and John Manning will be on an equal footing. The only difference between the two is that John Manning is more powerful.
Someone who used to just release good intentions can now choose to support him completely. It was only at this point that Brooklyn could be considered to have truly digested the legacy left by Lyleigh Crewe.
Most of the time the conference was meaningless. The audio and video recordings at the beginning are enough to clarify the facts and clear the slander.
The answer to the reporter's question in the middle is just a foreshadowing for the final blockbuster drama. The only thing that worked was probably the question involving Chandler Kane, which made him push this serious and decent guy with a hand.
What really matters is Brooklyn's final summary. By concluding, Brooklyn cleverly transforms the public's guilt for wronging him, especially for those who participated in the march, into support for him.
Brooklyn modeled the boundaries between the judicial system and his own person, and planted the equation of 'Brooklyn = impartiality and objectivity = exemplary judges = conscience of the judicial system'.
Let the image of 'Themis' he created more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Unlike politicians who build their public image, Brooklyn does intend to do so, not just talk about it.
Since then, every trial in Brooklyn has deepened that impression. Through continuous accumulation, let your image become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The turmoil also made Brooklyn break out of New York State again, and became known to the whole Federation. By tomorrow morning, reports about him will flood into the public eye.
These are very valuable political resources. After silently taking stock of his gains in his heart and calming down, Brooklyn clicked on the second message.
This is an email, also from John Manning. Attached to the email was an invitation to give a public class at Harvard University and to ask if he would be interested in serving as professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.
Brooklyn is certainly interested. The reason why the academic school is flourishing and almost dominates is because they control the school.
Schools can provide a steady stream of fresh blood into the justice system. And the competitiveness of these students who have undergone systematic education is far beyond that of other paths.
As time goes by, there will naturally be more and more academics, and there will naturally be fewer and fewer 'wild roads'.
By inviting him to give public lectures at Harvard and become an honorary professor, he has been recognized as a "founder of a sect" and has been given the right to select talents.
Before Brooklyn finished reading, the sound of 'Ding Dong' sounded again, and it became one. New emails were sent to his mailbox.
There were greetings from other colleagues, as well as invitations from various universities. Of these emails, two came in almost no separate order that caught Brooklyn's attention.
The sender of these two emails is not the same, but the content is much the same. Someone wants to talk to him.
At the end of the email is a donkey and an elephant. Brooklyn is currently independent, having previously served as the chief justice of a federal district court, but that's all, with no higher social status and no more political resources at his disposal.
But after tonight, everything was different. Brooklyn has qualified to be a bipartisan target.
Donkey or elephant? Or continue to be free? This is a choice that must be carefully considered. Brooklyn didn't make a decision lightly, and after marking the two emails with special marks, he continued to browse through the mailbox.
At the end, an email with the subject line "Your old friend" came into view.
"Brooklyn Lee, I hope you remember your old friend."
"I've heard about you, congratulations on getting through this and going further."
"Well done, friend!"
"Please forgive me for not contacting you, and I have prepared a small gift to express my apologies and congratulations. It's a message about the follow-up to a piece of information that you threw in the trash, I wonder if you're interested? Your dear friend, Michael Desciato"
