"I've already asked you, and he doesn't want to go to a baseball game with you." On Hoover Avenue, Anne was driving a car and talking to Mark Meeille on the phone.

"He couldn't understand the rules of baseball."

"Also, I don't like the Boston Red Sox at all, only you like them. I also don't like baseball games. We're going to watch the Nets together this weekend. ”

"You agreed to come with me to the Red Sox game." Mark Milai's voice sounded aggrieved and angry, and he looked pitiful.

Anne Aldington had no pity for him. She snorted and said coldly

"If you have to help him, in fact do you really help him?"

"I helped!" Mark Milai looked like a child trying to prove to his mother that he hadn't stolen ice cream, and his voice became more and more aggrieved

"I called all night and contacted at least a dozen people."

"Whether you help or not, you know in your heart." Anne Aldington seemed to decide that Mark Meeilla didn't help, and after saying this, she didn't plan to dwell on this matter anymore, and said directly

"Mark Aldington, if you still feel the slightest bit of guilt about what you've done to me in the past, please don't bother my life again." Mark Milai was silent for a moment and asked softly

"You really like him?"

"At least he doesn't have PTSD." Anne scoffed

"I don't need to worry about the person lying next to me pulling out a gun and shooting himself into a sieve."

"I hope you didn't choose this to be angry with me." Mark Milley said again.

"You're not that important."

"Okay, I won't interfere with your choice, but I'll keep an eye on him." Mark Milai seemed to have compromised

"I've heard that he's a man with a heart, and he has a rich history of romance in the past." All of them~~ Anne Aldington simply hung up the phone.

Mark Milai was stunned, and looked at the earpiece that was making the blind tone for a moment. He slowly sat down in his chair and put the earpiece back in place, his expression changing, and after several struggles, he finally calmed down.

"Check out the Nets' game this weekend and buy me a ticket next to Annie." It's for your good, Anne.

You're too innocent to know what's going on in a man's head. Mark Millay said silently to himself in his heart.

He just wants to play cards with you! That's right! He just wants to play cards with you! When he's done playing, he'll lose interest in you!

Just like those energetic middle school students! Mark Millai's expression gradually became firm. I'm just doing what every dad does.

If he's really that good, we should get to know him again. …………………… Sending Annie away, the small group of Courtroom 9 looked at Brooklyn differently.

Because of Selena's incident before, Brooklyn 'changed his mind' and 'changed his past', and changed his former stallion personality, as if he had become a saint overnight.

This shift is worrying. Everyone thinks Brooklyn is overkill. Nelly even suspected at one point that Brooklyn had changed course.

Well, now it's finally back on track.

"Nets game!" Nelly walked past Brooklyn in a strange way.

"I want to see it too." Jerry said cooperatively.

"Let's buy tickets to see it, too." Bob followed

"It just so happens that Leon has been clamoring to go to the game."

"We have our own tickets." Ray pinched his throat and spoke angrily in Brooklyn. Brooklyn shook his head at the look of the crowd.

In the Federation, bed relationships are hierarchical. The most common is a simple friend, the two sides play cards when they meet, and they go their separate ways after playing cards, without talking about feelings, not mixing with each other's personal relationships, and only solving physiological needs.

At most, it may be because of the superb playing skills, which makes the other party very satisfied, and develops into a fixed friend. Further up there are the couple relationships.

This kind of relationship is not as simple as solving physical needs, and the two parties are not going straight to the 'table' when they meet.

Both parties need to be involved in each other's personal relationships, meet family and friends, and introduce each other to them.

Couples not only talk about physical needs, but also about emotional needs, and even emotional needs are much greater than physical needs.

In a friend-to-gun relationship, a person can maintain multiple friendships, as long as the energy and physical strength are sufficient. If you want to maintain a relationship, you not only need to stay focused and unique, but also cut off other friends.

A relationship often begins with a formal date. Dates can be varied, not necessarily a Western meal in a fancy restaurant with piano music, it can be going to a playground, it can be a concert, or it can be watching a game.

Whatever. A formal date marks the beginning of a relationship between the two parties. That's why Bob and they're going to pay more attention.

If Brooklyn had just made an appointment, they wouldn't have asked. On this day, the Courtroom 9 group was filled with joy as Brooklyn and Anne met up to watch a ball game over the weekend.

When people are happy, good news follows. In the afternoon, a document was delivered to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn's unblocking of partner agencies has been very productive. It took only one day for Jonas Sinardo's psychiatric results to come out.

Jonas Sinardo has been identified by professional institutions as having antisocial personality disorder. Brooklyn read the report and asked Bob to send it to Ms. Nasolabial Folds and Chandler Kane, and to confirm that the trial would begin tomorrow morning.

…………………… The next day, Court No. 9. The nasolabial fold lady who got the results of the appraisal adjusted her defense strategy slightly.

She took the forensic report and asked the witness questions.

"Would an antisocial personality have a planned and premeditated crime?" The witness is one of the team members who provided identification for Jonas Sinardo, and has a reputation for several years in the field, and can be called an expert.

The expert shook his head

"No, you can't. Antisocial personalities are mostly dominated by emotional impulses, and their motives for committing crimes are more ambiguous. ”

"Influenced by film and television dramas, most people's impression of antisocial personality is often the image of a very high IQ, strategizing, and scheming. They have absolute sanity and do not feel emotion. But in reality, antisocial personalities are not like that. ”

"They are more emotionally dominated than normal people, and their behavior tends to be subservient to emotions rather than rationality."

"The villains who are strategizing in film and television dramas belong to antisocial personality traits, not antisocial personality disorder."

"However, the modus operandi of antisocial personality offenders is often very hidden, and although they are dominated by emotions and impulsively commit criminal acts, antisocial personalities will also consider evading criminal responsibility, and then conceal and deceive criminal behaviors." The lady of the nasolabial folds nodded and asked again

In other words, people with antisocial personalities are dominated by emotions and are unable to control their behavior as rationally as normal people. Sometimes he knows it's a crime, but he can't control himself, right? "This is a slightly 'out of line' question, and it is suspicious of guiding witnesses.

But Chandler Kane did not object. Experts answer in the affirmative

"It is clear that people with sociopathic personalities are more susceptible to emotional domination. At present, we do not know enough about antisocial personality, but this phenomenon that is more susceptible to emotions is likely to be related to the fact that the brain structure of antisocial personality is different from that of ordinary people. ”

"You mean that the brain structure of antisocial personalities is different from that of normal people?" The lady of the nasolabial folds keenly seized the opportunity to ask.

"This is just a speculation and has not been confirmed. But there are quite a few supporters of this speculation. The expert cautiously explained

"In fact, most of the mental illnesses and personality defects we find so far are related to the brain." The nasolabial stripes nodded in understanding, and she walked over to the jury and spread her hands

"Obviously, my client is a patient. Maybe he also wanted to stop while committing the crime. Maybe he had desperately shouted to himself, 'Stop!' ''Stop! ''I can't do that.'' ”

"But he couldn't control it."

"Abnormalities in the structure of his brain forced him to complete the crime, and his illness made it impossible for him to stop. His body does not listen to the dictates of the brain. ”

"My client did kill two of the victims, but it wasn't his intention."

"If he was a normal person, if he was like us, would he do this?"

"Why would a normal person kill two people he didn't even know for no reason?" With that, Ms. Nasolabial Folds finished her question.

It was Chandler Kane's turn. He cuts into the same angle as a lady with nasolabial folds.

"You wrote in your report that antisocial offenders act in a covert and cunning manner when others are victimized, often disguised in an attempt to evade responsibility. In other words, the antisocial personality has the same perception of crime as an ordinary person. He also knows that sin is wrong? ”

"Yes." The expert nodded

"Of course, of course, it's the wrong behavior."

"The antisocial personality is just a defective character that causes a disorder in daily behavior, and it is not a rebirth, it is completely beyond the scope of human beings."

"In fact, under the influence of film and television dramas, people often have misunderstandings about various mental illnesses and physiological disorders."

"Autistic people are not the same as geniuses, paranoid personalities are not unrepentant, schizophrenia is not the same as having two people living in their bodies, and antisocial personalities are not aliens."

"Antisocial personality is influenced by a normal worldview, and has a lot in common with ordinary people in their perception of the world, at least in terms of doing bad things, antisocial personality, like ordinary people, does not regard bad things as good things."

"In other words, the offender of an antisocial personality is fully aware that he is committing a crime when he commits the crime?" Chandler Kane asked.

"That's right." The expert nodded

"Human distinctions between good and bad are influenced by environment and cognitive education, and do not change because of personality disorders." Chandler Kane nodded in understanding, and he said to the jury

"A criminal, knowing that he is committing a crime, still chooses to persist in committing a crime, and finally achieves the goal of the crime."

"It seems that we don't have anything to argue about."

"Criminals often have certain personality defects, and if a criminal who refuses to stop knowing that he is committing a crime cannot be punished, I don't know who our laws are designed for." After Chandler Kane finished his question, Ms. Nasolabial Folds stood up and said she had something to add.

After receiving permission, she again appeared before the witnesses.

"What is the difference between a personality defect and a personality disorder?" The nasolabial lady asked.

"It's a more specialized question." The expert commented, thinking about how to answer. He has testified in many courts and has a lot of experience in this regard.

The court is not an academic exchange meeting, and if the answers are described too professionally in the courtroom, not only will it not have the effect of accurately describing the statement, but will cause greater ambiguity.

Because most people don't understand technical jargon, they need to translate professional descriptions into ordinary descriptions that they can understand.

In the process of transformation, the prosecution and defense will 'reasonably' distort the professional description according to their respective positions.

"If you compare a person to an apple, personality defects are like rotting, although the apple is rotten, but digging out the rotten parts, the apple is still an apple. can play his original role. It can still be used for vitamin supplementation, juice, and apple pie. ”

"Personality disorders are more serious than personality defects. Although the apple is still the same apple, it is all rotten, and the rotten apple cannot be made into apple pie, nor can it be used to juice, but the rotten apple can still replenish vitamins. The expert gave a less appropriate example to describe the difference between a personality defect and a personality disorder.

Luckily, everyone understood.

"In other words, the personality defects of ordinary crime are not the same as antisocial personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder is more severe?" The nasolabial folds lady asked again.

The expert nodded and summarized her question

"The general criminal personality is certainly defective, but it does not reach the level of a personality disorder, while the antisocial personality has a heavy impact on all aspects of mental activity, reflecting persistent and long-term behavioral disorders in all aspects of life."

"Antisocial personality disorder does not seem to be the same as the general criminal personality defect." The nasolabial wrinkles lady said to the jury.

After the last 'lobbying', Ms. Nasolabial Folds realized that the 'weakened defense variant' didn't work here in Brooklyn, so she decisively changed her strategy and began to specialize in antisocial personality disorder.

Brooklyn looked at her with something unusual. He found out that the lady of the nasolabial folds was bent on making a big news.

She's preparing to include antisocial personality disorder in the 'impaired judgment defense'! This is an absolute proponent of the 'diminished defense'!

It is not uncommon for the Federation to have similar precedents, and in fact, there have been many antisocial offenders in the past federal jurisprudence.

But according to jurisprudence, they are rarely involved in homicides or other serious cases. Experts are right, antisocial personalities are not as depicted in film and television dramas, they are all geniuses, and their IQs are outrageous, and they will certainly be more dominated by emotions and cannot be themselves.

But antisocial personalities are not all governed by emotions, they are also rational and can think. They are not beasts.

After recognizing the danger of certain emotions in themselves, they will naturally move away from overly dangerous emotional triggers.

This is also the reason why it is rare for antisocial personalities to be sentenced to capital punishment in the past. To put it simply, they are choosing their own crimes and selectively discarding crimes with heavier punishments.
