From Brooklyn's personal attitude, plea bargaining is a cancer. In his usual style, he would have liked plea bargaining to be outlawed.

But now he's not voting on his own, he's voting on behalf of those who support him. Nor was his vote for himself.

As John Manning reminded him, this is for those who support and wait and see. His attitude can no longer determine the course of things, and with him or not, the final decision of the Harvard faction will be to oppose the ban on plea bargaining.

But his negative vote will send a signal to the outside world that he will not infringe on the interests of his own people. Brooklyn's camp was in the initial stage, and he didn't know how many people belonged to his camp, so Brooklyn chose to have as many as possible, and not to be different, but to get people in first.

This will make the composition of the people who support him become mixed and uneven, but it can also quickly expand his strength, so that he can inflate and grow like a balloon overnight.

As for removing impurities, that's the job later. Hanging up John Manning's phone, Brooklyn opened his personal social media account and posted a new news expressing his opposition to the ban on plea bargaining.

After doing this, he called Will McWawan again, ready to appear on the show and make a formal statement in front of the public.

Brooklyn's sudden voice quickly caught the attention of quite a few people. His attitude was astonishing!

The opposition, eager to win Harvard's support through Brooklyn, was dumbfounded. They don't quite understand why Brooklyn suddenly changed his sex, changed his harsh attitude in the past, and chose to support plea bargaining!

Treating the guilty with a strict attitude and zero tolerance for criminal behavior has always been an important label attached to Brooklyn by the outside world.

And the jurisprudence of the past Brooklyn trial has confirmed this over and over again. It is precisely because of this that the opposition will choose this time to express its stance and set off a plea bargain dispute.

As a result, they were fighting fiercely, and the reinforcements behind them suddenly turned back! In the evening, when Brooklyn's participation program was expedited, the plea bargain battle was completely chaotic.

Brooklyn took a clear stand out on the show against the plea bargain.

"I'm not admitting that plea bargaining is flawless, and in fact there is no such thing as a perfect system." Brooklyn sat across from the moderator and talked

"In fact, I have repeatedly pointed out in public the damage that plea bargaining undermines the justice system."

"I also never thought plea bargaining was right."

"Then why did you choose to support the continuation of the plea bargain?" The moderator just rightly threw out the question.

"Because plea bargaining, while inherently problematic, can also be effective in extreme cases."

"It is the judge's prerogative to decide whether or not to engage in plea bargaining, and in fact it has placed a crucial lock on plea bargaining. I don't take this right lightly, and most of the time I don't even make a plea bargain. But I can't live without that right. Brooklyn said earnestly

"Plea bargaining allows criminals to confess more valuable information, and it can often be extremely effective in the face of organized crime."

"He will not let law enforcement officers sacrifice in vain, so that more people can be saved from crime and protect the interests of more people."

"But what about the victims who have already been violated?" The moderator asked

"Isn't it unfair that they've been violated, but the criminals aren't being punished?"

"Personally, I would compensate in plea bargains to maximize fairness."

"Whether the ability to maintain plea bargaining and obtain more valuable information while ensuring that the victim is compensated and that the offender cannot escape due punishment is an important criterion for testing the quality of a judge. I'm confident that I can do this well. ”

"Since I took office, I've only signed 13 plea bargain warrants, which is well below average, and I think about each plea bargain before it is signed to make sure that I get the most information and punish the offender."

"Our judicial system has never been absolutely fair, considering the factors of all parties, balancing the demands of all parties, making comprehensive rulings, satisfying all parties while not letting fairness be dusted, is the quality that a judge should have." ……………… Brooklyn's views on the show are not new, and the opposition and supporters dig deeper in the argument than he does, and this public statement is not simple.

But one way or another, Brooklyn did what he had to do. After the end of the TV show, Brooklyn is once again reticent.

Refuse to be interviewed, refuse to invite TV shows, refuse to update social accounts, and refuse to participate in drinking parties that you should not participate in.

Faced with an ethereal plea bargain dispute, Brooklyn doesn't think he can get more out of it, and instead of spending his energy in the mirror, Brooklyn chooses to be more pragmatic.

Winston was about to be discharged. After a long wait and set-up, Winston's 'Backyard Fire' script finally ushered in the final act.

Thursday, March 21. Harvey, a lawyer at Pearson Spector & Associates, led a team to formally file an indictment on behalf of his client, Releigh Winston.

After examining the indictment in accordance with normal procedures, Roseni Cindy assigned it to Court No. 9. In the afternoon of the same day, the court issued a summons summons to summon the parties to a hearing.

The next morning, Courtroom No. 9. At the request of the client, Reilly Winston, the entire process was not made public.

There were only a handful of people in the huge courtroom. Patty sat in the dock next to a lady whose nasolabial folds were deeper than Silvia's.

Reilly Winston sat in the plaintiff's dock, surrounded by attorney Harvey of Pearson Spector and his assistant Mike Rose.

Behind them were empty auditoriums, which used to be full with only one listener today, Jerry Winston.

Since both parties were his parents, Jerry took the initiative to apply for recusal. Brooklyn didn't embarrass him.

After confirming the presence of personnel, Ray closed the courtroom door and the hearing officially began. Brooklyn needs to confirm whether the indictment should be accepted – even though everyone knows it's a formality, the indictment will eventually be accepted, and the process is essential.

"The parties and their lawyers, please speak freely, and I need to confirm that this indictment has merit for acceptance." Brooklyn tapped the indictment, then tapped the plaintiff's bench.

"Of course, I have some personal relationship with the plaintiff, Reilly Winston, and if the defendant thinks that this will affect my judgment as a judge and requires me to recuse himself, he can raise it now."

"We trust your impartiality, Your Excellency Judge Brooklyn." Patty's lawyer stood up. Brooklyn looked back at the plaintiff's seat.

"We have no reason to object, Your Excellency." Harvey answered. Brooklyn nodded

"Then let's get started." Patti didn't ask Brooklyn to recuse himself, which was to be expected.

Yesterday Harvey came to e.. When Y filed the indictment and Patty did not respond, Brooklyn concluded that she would not choose to recuse herself.

Not to mention that choosing to let Brooklyn avoid it is a complete trap. Why should Brooklyn shy away?

Just because you know Winston? Just because Winston chose to call Brooklyn to help with the 'aftermath' when he was dying?

Mere recognition is not enough to apply for a judge's compulsory recusal. If Patti did apply for recusal, Brooklyn would not have obediently withdrawn from the trial, and he had the right to apply for a hearing to prove that he did not meet the requirements for mandatory recusal.

Given Brooklyn's prestige and connections, and the fact that Brooklyn and Winston are neither related by blood nor interested, the outcome of the hearing must have been the dismissal of Patty's expression.

After a round of tossing, the trial judge was still Brooklyn. There is no use other than procrastination.

Even procrastination is not a bad thing for Winston. After Patty's divorce from Winston, the flowers for all these years have been from Winston, and Patty also received Winston's salary, and Winston stopped providing Patty on the day he woke up.

The money she had saved to hire a lawyer and her daily expenses was all from the past. Continuing to procrastinate would be a nuisance for Patty, but not for Winston.

No one can underestimate the financial prowess of a man who dares to run for governor and succeeds. Or rather, even Jerry doesn't know how rich Winston really is.

Perhaps only Winston and Patty, a former couple, know the exact amount of Winston's assets. From a practical point of view, Patti would not have liked to speed up the trial.

Harvey stood up and took the lead. He presented Winston's injury materials, which included an injury report, copies of treatment materials from Bellevue Public Hospital, Winston's psychological counseling materials, and an oral testimony from Winston.

In his oral testimony, Winston did not exaggerate the facts in any way, but recounted in succinct language the entire course of the night.

As he flipped through the materials in Brooklyn, Harvey began to speak.

"Your Excellency, my client went to the defendant's home on the evening of March 12 to discuss cooperation with the defendant."

"Although my client and the defendant have long since ended their marriage, the defendant has been trying to exercise mind control over my client for a long time, which has caused great psychological trauma to my client."

"My client is ready to end this unhealthy relationship. It was rejected by the defendant. The defendant offered to use Russian roulette to decide whether to end the relationship. It was vetoed on the spot by my client. ”

"But the defendant insisted that my client play Russian roulette with her and threatened to destroy my client if he did not play Russian roulette."

"I was forced to participate in the game."

"At the behest of the defendant, our client chose the first shot and had a bye."

"The defendant chose the second shot, with a bye. My client chose the third shot, and the same bye. ”

"It was the defendant's turn to fire a fourth shot, but the defendant aimed the muzzle of the gun at my client's heart and attempted to shoot my client."

"My client was shot on the spot, but the bullet was off the line of the heart and failed to kill my client. The defendant prepares to refill his gun when he is stopped by Jerry Winston, who arrives. ”

"My client was then taken to the hospital, where he underwent several hours of surgery before he was barely out of danger."

"First of all, the gambling game of Russian roulette has long been banned by the federal government, and the defendant still forced my client to participate in gambling despite knowing this, which has constituted a criminal fact and violated my client's personal safety."

"Subsequently, during the gambling game, the defendant shot and injured my client, which put my client in an extremely dangerous situation for a time. If it hadn't been for Jerry Winston's timely arrival, my client would probably have died. ”

"Regarding the condition of my client's injury, there is a clear appraisal report and treatment materials in the supporting materials submitted by our party to prove it."

"To sum up, the defendant has seriously violated the personal safety of our client and posed a serious threat to my client's life, and this kind of behavior is simply outright murder!"

"I don't think the court has a reason not to admit it!" Harvey doesn't speak quickly, he speaks clearly, but he is very rhythmic, full of emotion, and loud.

After speaking, Harvey nodded unhurriedly and sat down. Beside him, Winston had a sad expression all the time, turning his head to look at the dock from time to time, and when Harvey mentioned what happened that night, he couldn't help but tremble, like a post-traumatic patient.

Harvey's statement, Brooklyn had finished reading the material, and he looked up at the dock.

"First of all, Mr. Winston is not dead, and the murder charges as stated by the other party are completely deliberately exaggerated." Patty's lawyer retorted.

"Secondly, my client and the plaintiff used to be husband and wife, and they have been working together since the end of the marriage, and they are well-known friends. If my client is mind-controlling the plaintiff, why doesn't the plaintiff resist? Why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you protest earlier? ”

"Our client and the plaintiff already have an extremely complex personal relationship, and we believe that this extremely complex personal relationship has created many problems between the parties, and in resolving these contradictions, my client made a request for Russian roulette out of emotion."

"Russian roulette is indeed illegal, but it is known to be a fair game, and even though the plaintiff objected at the beginning, he eventually agreed to participate in the bet. The reason given by the other party is that our party coerced the plaintiff and forced him to participate in gambling B. However, it did not explain what kind of coercion was used and how it was enforced. We have reason to suspect that this is a deliberate fabrication by the plaintiff. Brooklyn raised an eyebrow and said

"First of all, I need to remind both sides once again that Russian roulette is a federal prohibition of betting. Secondly, Russian roulette is not entirely fair. According to statistics, there is a high probability of hitting the bullet in the third shot. ”

"But the truth is that the bullet is in the fourth shot, not in the third." The lawyer retorted

"This does not prove that my client premeditated the murder of the plaintiff."

"And as my client was about to fire a fourth shot, the intense fear of her life being threatened made her react knee-jerk by moving the muzzle of the gun away from her head, which is completely understandable. Your Excellency, you cannot expect my client to insist on suicide when he knows he is likely to die. This is a choice that violates the spirit of the Constitution. Brooklyn nodded, seeming to accept the lawyer's argument.
