Chapter 382, Useless Lawyer and Sophistry Hal

If No. 2 and No. 4 can still be attributed to negligence, thinking that Jason Bull was clumsy for a moment and didn't see the inappropriateness of these two people, what about No. 3?

In just a few minutes, three times in a row? That's not clumsiness, that's blindness! He glanced at Edward Norton beside him, and then looked back at Burns Norton.

As Pence Norton's lawyer, he knew how important the lawsuit was to the Norton family. He didn't dare to bet!

It is not necessary to imitate Jason Bull just because it is an attempt to confirm that the opposing defense team is ATC.

In addition to taking 'shortcuts', he can also return to the normal path. At such an important moment, he still prefers to believe in his own abilities rather than some psychological tricks.

One last glance at the notes on the table—crossed out on Nos. 1, No. 2, and No. 4, and circled on No. 3—he turned it over and fastened it on the table and walked to the jury bench.

"Excuse me, anyone......" He still decided to use his own method and believe in his own strength. After a brief questioning, he excluded three jurors, No. 20, No. 21 and No. 22.

So far, all of the defendant's 10 gratuitous selections have been exhausted. Jason Bull laughed when the elite lawyer returned, and he even leaned over to pat the other man's buttocks as he leaned sideways to make way for Tronco, and lowered his voice as the other man turned his head

"Next time I go to Las Vegas, I invite you! It is said that the luck of the newbie is the best! The elite lawyer frowned and looked up.

Before the jury, Trunco had already finished asking one last question.

"Your Excellency, I request that the No. 25 follow-up ...... be excluded"

"Juror No. 3." A trace of consternation flashed across the face of the elite lawyer, which was quickly replaced by gloom.

His inference is correct, and he should believe in himself!

"Thanks to jurors 25 and 3, you can leave the courtroom." Brooklyn announces the final results from above, marking on the computer.

"Eucalyptus No. 019-EDNY09-061, AAUW, Feminist Majority Foundation, Women's Foundation, National Federation of Women's Organizations, Women's Health Research Association, Expanding Feminist Rights, National Women's Loyalty Alliance...... A total of 47 public interest organizations jointly sued Edward Norton for wrongful imprisonment and assault on the case of Ovis de Silva Velázquez. ”

"The jury will consist of jurors Nos. 1, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 17, with jurors 18, 19, and 23 serving as reserve jurors."

"The trial will be held tomorrow morning, that is, at 9:30 a.m. on May 14, 2019 in Court No. 9, and the jury members, the original defendants, and their lawyers are requested to appear in court on time, and if they fail to explain the situation to the court in advance without reason, they will be deemed to have lost the case." duangduang!

Brooklyn adjourned, and the quiet courtroom immediately resumed its hustle. Jason Bull got up and walked out, stopped as he passed the dock, picked up the paper on the table, looked at it, and smiled at the elite lawyer who was packing up.

The elite lawyer snatched the notes and glared at Jason Bull viciously. Without waiting for Jason Bourdeaux to speak, Tranko, who was following him, pushed him and hurriedly ended this childish provocation.

Jason Bull glanced back and saw that representatives of several non-profit organizations were behind him, and he also restrained his smile and discussed tomorrow's countermeasures in a serious whisper.

Jason Bull has Jason Bull's troubles, and the elite lawyer has his troubles. Today he made a glaring mistake that could well lead to extremely serious consequences and he needs to explain to his boss.

Not to mention these two lawyers, media people from other states and counties have opened their eyes today. Brooklyn Lee's name has been known since Emma's time, and she became famous through a class-action lawsuit, but of course, it is the racist incident that makes Brooklyn Lee familiar to the whole Federation.

In fact, apart from New Yorkers, the biggest impression of outsiders of Brooklyn Lee is not the image of a fair and strict judge, but his political stance.

The non-partisan figure has been repeatedly involved in sensitive topics such as racism and sexism, which makes him look less like a non-partisan than a member of the Conservative Party.

Brooklyn's political stance is considered to be highly similar to that of the Conservative Party. Compared with the public, the media has a deeper understanding of Brooklyn, but most of them are only information and hearsay, and they have not really seen it.

Today they have seen it. The nearly 20 minutes of foul discipline before the trial was really different.

They already kind of understand why the local media in New York are so quiet. ……………… NYPD Headquarters, Interrogation Room.

Hal Makas is a raunchy guy who looks like a federal tramp.

He seemed to be in and out of the police department a lot, and although the Calpd was one east and the New York police department was one in the east and the other in the west, spanning the entire federation, he quickly settled in.

Hal is handcuffed, his hands are together, his buttocks sit in the center of the chair, leaning back, leaning back on the back of the chair, so that the waist is slightly suspended in the air, forming a triangular area, his legs are naturally hanging and straight, and his arms are resting on his stomach.

Sitting like this is a good way to save energy, using the butt and back as the fulcrum, and putting most of the weight of the body on these two points, so that the butt will not hurt because the chair is too hard.

He just lay there half-paralyzed, half-lying there, looking at Anne Aldington and David Portman in front of him, and whistling lightly.

Anne didn't care about Hal's frivolity in the slightest, and as a prosecutor, she had to deal with all kinds of criminals, and because of her gender, she was used to meeting such people often.

David frowned, glanced at Anne beside him, and saw that she didn't even frown, just sat there, taking care of herself and pulling things out of her file bag, and was a little worried in her heart.

He was more sympathetic to the Harold family, and deliberately chose Anne in the hope that she could open up within reason.

But Hal whistled at Anne when he came up, and this frivolous behavior was easily seen as a provocation by the prosecutor, and then 'returned' back at sentencing, making an increase, and refusing to let go.

"I killed people." When Anne finished digging out the papers, closing the bag and putting it at her feet, Hal spoke directly.

"Describe how you acted." Anne Aldington opened her notebook and said.

"Find the address, observe the situation, record the rules of life, choose the time that is not easy to be discovered, infiltrate, kill, clean up the traces, and leave." Hal briefly describes the process of writing eucalyptus.

"From what we know, you live in California, why did you come to New York? Did Harold call you? Anne asked, having finished her record.

"Yes." Hal thought for a moment and said slowly

"His daughter, that is, my goddaughter, was hurt, he had to work to earn money and take care of his daughter alone, he couldn't take care of it at all, and the woman abandoned them, I warned Harold at the beginning, that woman was not trustworthy, he still didn't believe it, and insisted on marrying her."

"So he asked me for help, hoping that I could come and help him take care of his daughter. So I came here. ”

"Why did you choose three completely different styles for the three murders?" Anne asked. Hal scratched his chin and twisted his ass to adjust his sitting

"Your chairs are so stiff, our CalpD interrogation room chairs are much more comfortable than yours." He critically compared the differences between the two places, and when he saw that no one was talking, he smacked his mouth and replied

"I like it."

"I like it, so I do it." Anne lowered her head and recorded it in her notebook, then raised her head and said seriously

"First-degree murder, death penalty recommended." There was a moment of surprise on Hal's face, and then he reacted, nodded slowly, raised his hands and scratched his chin, and said indifferently

"Ok, I'm ......" squeak—the door was pushed open, and Harvey hurried in with his assistant.

"Officer David, where is your housekeeping department when my client is being interrogated alone in my absence?" David rolled his eyelids

"Upstairs, find it yourself." He doesn't have a crush on Harvey, or can't say 'he doesn't have a crush', but he doesn't have a crush on Harvey at all, and even a little disgusted.

Harvey is the most typical kind of lawyer in the eyes of all police officers, cunning, treacherous, not doing business, specializing in obstructing and defending criminals.

Harvey nodded, holding out his hand to Anne

"Hello Prosecutor Anne, I'm Harvey, Hal...... Hadison Maslow's lawyer. I am afraid that it is not legally effective for you to make accusations against my client without me present. So, please let me know in advance next time. ”

"Also, you're beautiful, I don't know if it's an honor to have lunch with you."

"By the way, a trading issue?" Harvey was polite to Anne – though not much.

"Not interested." Anne reached out and shook Harvey's hand perfunctorily, flipped through the notebook

"Now that you're here, can we start over?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure." Harvey smiled slightly, like a peacock with the screen open. David just watched him attentively, wondering what it would be like to be present in Brooklyn.

Although he is not optimistic about Brooklyn's relationship with Anne, or rather he does not think that Brooklyn has any feelings for Anne, Anne is Brooklyn's nominal girlfriend after all.

Sometimes male behavior is not only about logic, but also about face, about dignity......

"This client of yours has confessed to being the victim of his killing." Anne pointed to Haldaw. Harvey glanced at Hal

"It's in my absence." Interestingly, Hal didn't ask who Harvey was and why he became his lawyer, and he watched with such interest and didn't say a word ever since Harvey walked through the door.

"After Miranda's warning was read, he was arraigned in accordance with the proper procedures, in the possession of complete audio-visual records." Anne added word for word.

"Or ask another of your clients?" Seeing Harvey's silence, Anne smiled. Harvey was indeed silent.

He didn't take the pieces assigned to him to heart at all—though he had sworn to Mr. Harold to believe him, or he wouldn't have misremembered Hal Marcas's name.

This is a public gift, a piece of charity, a piece of public welfare, or to put it more clearly, it is to give for nothing, work for nothing!

If the situation is simple and can be solved in three or two clicks, Harvey may also personally inquire about it, and then use his connections to discuss with the prosecutor the outcome of a transaction that the prosecutor can accept, and end it hastily.

Listen to what this case is all about. The first is murder, with as many as nine victims! And then there are old eucalyptus, veterans, and maybe children's rights organizations and other inexplicable things.

It's complicated when you hear it.

"Or do you better ask your client to introduce themselves first and remember what your client's name is?" Anne began to use the taunt skill.

"Hades? Or Halson? ”

"Maslow or Malos?" Harvey looked at Hal, who sat like Uncle Hal, looking at Harvey.

"We can't accept the death penalty." Harvey spoke

"If it's a death sentence, we might as well choose to accept the prosecution, and even if we lose the case, we choose to appeal."

"Maybe you should ask his private accountant to see if they can afford to appeal." Anne pointed at Hal and said in a surging voice.

Unlike Harvey, she has read all the information about Ben Eucalyptus, knows the eucalyptus very well, and knows the financial situation of Harold and Hal very well.

Harvey realized that today was not the right time to continue, and he was ready to end the trial.

"Ms. Annie, Officer David......"

"Now that you're here, can we get to work?" David had just finished fantasizing about Brooklyn vs. Harvey, and after coming back to his senses, he asked directly, and then asked to himself

"Why did you run away with Harold's daughter?" Harvey didn't know what was going on because he hadn't read the information, but out of a lawyer's intuition, he immediately stopped Hal, who didn't intend to speak, for fear that Harr would speak something surprising and say something irreparable.

"I have the right to refuse to answer this question." David frowned, ready to change the question, but Anne refused to let it go.

She said to Harvey

"Are you sure he refuses to answer that question?"

"He took Harold's daughter, drove a stolen car, and ran away with the police car when it was blocking the road, can this be considered kidnapping?" Harvey was dumbfounded.

"She's my goddaughter." Hal said.

"We're not running away, she wants to go out for a ride, I'll take her for a ride."

"I hit a police car just because I didn't notice that someone was blocking the road in front of me."

"Then why did you jump out of the car and run away with Harold's daughter in your arms after being forced to stop?"

"I thought you were gangsters... Or a bank debt collector who pretends to be a police officer and wants to kidnap my goddaughter. ”

"Then how do you explain your arrest after the police show you your ID?"

"There were two guys in the building next to Harold who made fake certificates, and the police documents they made were more real than the real thing."
