Chapter 298, God-making
Monday, March 11. Brooklyn, who was trying to keep herself from getting involved in the donkey-elephant dispute, was in a heavy mood, and she didn't even feel the mood to face Nelly and Bob asking about the date.
Seeing that Brooklyn was not in high spirits, Nelly grabbed Bob, who was still asking, and quietly cast an inquiring glance at Ray.
Ray shook his head. He didn't know what was going on either. Obviously everything was normal when he woke up on Sunday, but he went back to the gun room to do maintenance, and it turned cloudy.
Brooklyn didn't tell Ray about the donkey-elephant controversy. The composition of the thunder itself is complex enough.
"Let's get down to business." Brooklyn waved his hand and ended the gossip time
"We have to hurry up and solve the problems that everyone reacted to at the meeting just now." e.. Building Y, while not as old as the Thurgood Marshall Federal Courthouse, is still an old building.
Problems such as aging lines, lighting problems, cracked walls, peeling wall skins, incomplete tables and chairs, etc.
At the regular meeting just now, many people reacted to him.
"How much does it cost to completely renovate the building?" Brooklyn asked. Nelly replied without thinking
"Sorry, we don't have the budget."
"You haven't counted it yet." Brooklyn still wants to fight. Nelly's words completely made him die
"Completely renovated e. In the Y building, we needed to tear down a lot of walls, repaint them, replace almost all the equipment, buy new desks and chairs, and most importantly, we needed temporary office space. The renovation will take at least two years. ”
"Two years?" Brooklyn was taken aback by the exaggerated length of the project. Nelly nodded
"Two years is already the shortest theoretical period I've consulted. Even if you can get the construction team on the other side, it will not be shortened to less than two years. ”
"On top of that, we don't have that budget at all."
"We've built the system, we've bought new equipment, and we've pretty much spent our budget."
"Now the money left is at most enough for us to paint the court."
"Then paint it first." Brooklyn Road
"You write a plan and come out with a way to solve the funding problem. Crowdfunding, charity fundraising...... No matter what, I can cooperate, I have to put e.. y's problem solved. I don't want our judges to run court at the risk of being slapped in the face by the wall. Nelly rolled her eyes in annoyance
“ok! ok! How about we organize a group of robbers to patronize the Fed's vaults? ”
"If it's really necessary, you can." Brooklyn replied with a joke.
"Well, I know it's hard, and I promise you, I won't spend money again. And no matter how outrageous the plan you write, as long as you can raise money, I will cooperate. Sending Nelly away, Bob stepped forward to report on Brooklyn's itinerary for today, and after the report, he said
"Judge Rosseni has just received an indictment from a child advocacy organization."
"Who sued them?" Brooklyn asked. Bob said with a strange expression
"It's not who sues them, it's they who sue others." This aroused Brooklyn's curiosity. After the scandal of the New York Children's Advocacy Group, it has been a long time since it dared to come forward.
What do you want to do when you suddenly come out with such a high profile?
"What about Frederick? Did he leave New York? Brooklyn asked. Bob shook his head
"Nope. They moved, from a busy area to a small brick and concrete building. ”
"Let's let Roseni follow the normal procedure first, pay attention to it, and see what they want to do." ……………… In the afternoon, Brooklyn was already sure that this was coming for him.
In less than half a day, Roseni has received nearly 30 cases of various kinds, and they all have one thing in common, one of the parties must be a minor.
Some parents and guardians have come to sue for the lawsuit, while others have been represented by children's rights organizations or other agencies. In the morning, Rosenie's office on duty was transformed into a kindergarten, and the cries of children were everywhere, and the noise was a headache.
Rosene was already going crazy. She had come to report to Brooklyn, and by the time she left the office, there had been cases of clients requesting that Brooklyn preside over the trial.
And it quickly spread as the first party to come forward and make a request. Their reasoning was that the Brooklyn judge was fair enough.
Roseni told them that she was randomly assigned which judge would accept the case, and that it was not the choice of the parties, who did not have the right to do so.
As a result, she was besieged. The parties pleaded with Rosene to distribute her pieces to Brooklyn.
"I have a total of 11 indictments here, all of which are requested to be assigned to you." Rosene pulled out a list and handed it to Brooklyn, with a brief outline of the list.
"You'd better pick up a few, or you might get into big trouble." Roseni reminded. Brooklyn is involved in the death of Ben and Wood Ward, and the fight against child advocacy groups in New York. Y people have heard of it.
Brooklyn shook her head, and as Rosenie looked disappointed, Brooklyn said
"It's all for me."
"Tell a few of them that they have not opened a simple procedure to come and study. If there are similar cases in the follow-up and meet the acceptance procedures, the parties shall be notified directly and asked to go to Claim and a few of them. ”
"I'll take care of that today."
"You talk to Krement and their assistants and plan the time for the court. Those who meet the expedited trial procedures are singled out and prioritized. "It's not too obvious that a lot of fights and brawls in the city or even in the same district and in the same neighborhood are going to federal courts, not state courts.
Government departments have many advantages over non-governmental organizations, but there is only one point, which is that they are in an absolutely disadvantageous position.
That's the main job of the department. Government departments can create n many reasons to turn over and transfer non-governmental organizations and groups to concoct them several times, and non-governmental organizations and organizations can also save up a bunch of main jobs to government departments to handle.
For example, in the police station, civil society groups can call on everyone to go to the police station to set up a eucalyptus, if you can add a sentence in the publicity, 'go to the xxx police station to set up, I will cover the cost', the effect is better.
For example, in the industrial and commercial sector, civil society groups can call on everyone to go to the industrial and commercial department for various reasons to queue up, and they will not make trouble or roll around.
For example, in the courts, civil society groups can call on people to file an indictment if they encounter any problem that meets the requirements for prosecution.
Brooklyn has a lot of experience dealing with these kinds of problems. The last time there was a storm in New York, all of New Yorkers went crazy and frantically sued anyone or organization they could.
That horrific scene is still vivid in my mind. At that time, Brooklyn was just an ordinary federal district judge, and the chief judge at that time was still Michael's old loach.
………… In fact, Brooklyn was a little disappointed when he found out that Frederick was playing tricks with him.
This level of trouble is not as good as the last act of racial discrimination. The easiest and safest way to solve this problem is to meet the demands of the people.
He accepted all the documents that met the acceptance requirements, and the problem was naturally solved. After all, it wouldn't take much effort for him to process such cases, but the amount was huge, and it might take a little time to waste, but Frederick had to pay for it with real money.
Moreover, New York is indeed a big city, and there are indeed many problems, but it is not a constant stream of high-density output contradictions.
When this backlog of contradictions is resolved, where will Frederick go to find so many eucalyptus parts? If he can get his tentacles out of the confines of child advocacy groups and start 'funding' others to sue in court, Brooklyn is confident that Winston will be grateful to him.
Thank you for his contribution to New York! Besides, does Frederick really have that much time? Brooklyn doesn't think so.
Even if Frederick had enough money to fund all of New York to sue in court, would he have that much time?
Will child advocacy groups give him that much time? A guy who set off a wave of racial discrimination, not only failed and wasted tens of millions of dollars in vain, but was also put on the hook by Brooklyn to take advantage of the next level, and the top management of the child rights protection organization would give him so much time?
Brooklyn didn't believe it. If Frederick really had a lot of time, he could have been better prepared than to be seen through at a glance as he is now.
He could have waited a little longer, waited for the racism storm to pass, and then quietly showed his head. In the midst of the racist turmoil, he single-handedly offended the NYPD, the Reagan family, the District Attorney's Office, the New York State Government, the New York City Government, and Brooklyn.
At such times, the right thing to do is to hide yourself, try to reduce your presence, and pretend that you don't exist.
It's only been a few days, and it's not at all like Frederick's personality to come out and do things in such a high-profile way.
It only shows that his time is running out! But Brooklyn wasn't going to spend time with Frederick.
………… Due to the high degree of uncertainty surrounding the Brooklyn trial, Court 9 is experienced with such adjustments.
Brooklyn gave the order, and in less than an hour, it was ready. When Brooklyn walked into Courtroom No. 9, the auditorium was already full, and there was a commotion in the previously orderly courtroom.
The voices of the people were intertwined and roared, like a swarm of bees flying in the sky. Among them, the children's high-pitched voices, screams and cries were chaotic.
Brooklyn walked up to the bench and sat down, turned on his computer, and accessed the indictment entered into the system. Jerry sat in the clerk's seat, ready to take a quick note.
Bob coughed twice. No one paid any attention to him. He coughed twice. Still no one paid attention to him.
"Please all stand, e. . Court Y.9 is now in session, presided by the Honourable Judge Brooklyn Lee. Bob shouted.
The buzzing scene was silent. I don't know whose children's cries are highlighted, which is particularly harsh.
Brooklyn waved his hand, not his usual indifferent appearance, he approached the microphone casually.
"Please be quiet." Brooklyn has a high reputation among the parties, and the scene is indeed quiet.
"The judge on duty told me that you want me to hear your case, and I took a brief look at it, and we will first finish the cases that meet the summary procedure, and then proceed to the cases that are not suitable for the summary procedure."
"The summary procedure is also legally binding, and it is a simple trial procedure that excludes non-essential procedures from normal court hearings."
"Please be quiet while you wait, and don't interrupt the trial, which will only delay your turn."
"Alright, let's get started now. No. 019-EDNY09-018. ”…………………… Time was ticking by, and by the time it was completely dark, Brooklyn had already disposed of six eucalyptus.
Most of the people in the original auditorium have changed. At the end of another meal, Brooklyn took a sip and handed Bob the empty glass to get another one for himself.
Bob gestured to his wrist to remind Brooklyn of the time. Brooklyn glanced down. It's 5:40 a.m.
It's been ten minutes since I got off work! Brooklyn didn't choose to announce that he was off work, and when Bob came back from fetching water, he told Bob to order pizza.
While the eighth group of parties was still preparing, Brooklyn took the time to take a look at the courtroom. Several bailiffs were on the phone, presumably informing the family that they would be back later today.
There were a lot of people sitting in the last row at some point, and they came to watch after hearing that Brooklyn, who had always left work on time, suddenly worked overtime.
There were quite a few reporters guarding the door, and the seventh group of parties was being stopped by them for interviews. The courtroom was very quiet, and even the interviewers at the door were subconsciously lowering their voices, as if they were afraid of destroying the solemn and harmonious atmosphere in the courtroom.
Halfway through the eighth group's presentation, the pizza came. Brooklyn asks Bob to hand out the pizza, and he opens a box, slumps on the table, grabs a piece and eats it while continuing to listen.
"I hope you don't mind, I'm going to faint from hunger." Brooklyn took a big bite of pizza and chewed it twice, jokingly.
The lawyers of the original defendant and the defendant had obviously never seen such a judge, and they were a little at a loss for a while. Brooklyn lifted his chin, shoved the remaining small half of the pizza into his mouth, and picked up another one
"Eat, I won't charge you for the meal, I'll treat you." The scene was faithfully recorded by the photographer at the door.
In the evening, when Brooklyn finally starts to deal with the last group, a video of him munching on pizza while laughing and persuading the parties to eat together is released.
A nightly news presenter Will McWawan commented
"How much trouble would we have saved if everyone respected their profession as much as Judge Brooklyn Lee did." Frederick Samuel looked at Brooklyn on the screen and sneered.
"Laugh, I hope you can laugh again tomorrow!" In ancient and modern times, people pray to gods with a strong purpose, and when people find that a god responds to the prayers of believers, the number of believers in the gods will increase at a terrifying rate.
It is not a good thing to have a surge in believers because they are responsive. The gods had to continue to fulfill the prayers of their devotees, because if they could not meet everyone's demands, they would incur a huge backlash.
People will be disappointed and will feel cheated! When God is high up and distances himself from the believer, the believer will fear the God.
When people are disappointed in God and feel that God is deceiving them, God will fall from the altar. Human beings are good at many things, especially at making gods and then destroying them.
Frederick bet Brooklyn would not be able to hold on to it first!
