Chapter 411 deals with confidentiality requirements
This is the first time Brooklyn has said so many words at a Harvard conference. It was also the first time he really made a serious attempt at what Burke called a 'noble ideal'.
It's not a lie, it's not for a certain purpose, it's really saying what you think. To his surprise, although he failed to 'shake the tiger's body' and immediately impressed everyone one by one, he could clearly feel that everyone was seriously discussing the problem and simply discussing the problem.
There are no attacks on each other, no calculations. Brooklyn was surprised by the change. Of course, the change of the crowd does not substantially affect the operation of the real world, the problem is still there, and the crowd has not been able to find a solution.
This concludes the meeting. The conference first addressed the hostility of religious people within Harvard, and then led to a trend toward cooperation.
Although the discussion was more intense in the later stage, everyone was talking about the facts, not about themselves. This trend of solidarity was a bonus.
Brooklyn's 'lofty ideals' are still unclear, and they only do what they say, but they work well.
But this still does not solve the problem of reality - the core of the proposal is opposed to the core of the law of rights, and it does not bypass the constitution at all.
There's nothing Brooklyn can do about it. It was in the final silence that the meeting ended. At the end of the meeting, Brooklyn patted his cheek and didn't bother to look into it before he received a new 'assignment' from Bob.
The change in Harvard's work has brought about a series of changes that are quietly unfolding. The Brooklyn side has to make sure that E. Y's work, and the completion of Harvard's work, is very busy all day long.
Another person who was most affected by this was Bob, the head of his life. Bob needs to connect with Boston and sort out the e. Y work, so to speak, Bob is the only one who, like Brooklyn, gets double the job.
But Bob didn't complain and didn't ask for a promotion or a raise. He remained silent and did his job in silence.
Sunday, May 19th. Religious people stopped their attacks on Brooklyn. More and more religious people are beginning to set the record straight.
Some guys with ghosts in their hearts will even face the camera and praise Brooklyn. So, on this day, the wind reviews in Brooklyn began to get strange.
In the mouths of religious people, he is about to become a saint. But on the Internet, in the mouth of the traditional media, he is still a garbage, unworthy of morality, unworthy of wearing that legal robe, unworthy of sitting in the judge's seat, unworthy of living in New York, not worthy of living...... In the face of the chaotic public opinion, Brooklyn has remained quiet, except that more and more arrest warrants have been signed from under him, and the speed is comparable to that of the Federal Reserve printing US dollars.
It was another busy day, and at the dinner table in the evening, Ray summarized the preliminary results of spying on John Manning and Lyne, and on this day John Manning wrapped himself in a ball, and was pushed by Lane to go to the beach, and watched the sea all day.
The next day, Monday. As a result of the morning conference, the courtroom session was postponed by an hour, so that by the time Brooklyn walked into Courtroom No. 9, it was already 10:10 a.m.
The 'roll call' is complete, the reading continues, and the trial continues. The witness for the defense to apply to testify is a state legislator.
Testimony from state legislators revealed that there was a lengthy phone call with Pence Norton on the night of April 25.
The defendant's lawyer then produced a phone record of the state legislator issued by the telecommunications company, showing that there was indeed a phone call that lasted more than 40 minutes that night.
The state legislator said he and Pence Norton had discussed a secret issue that was not available to the public due to confidentiality requirements.
During this time, he mentioned Edward Norton during casual conversations with Burns Norton, and since the children of the state legislator also attended Baruch College, the congressman wanted to inquire about his son's campus life through Edward Norton.
Pence Norton went downstairs to look for Edward Norton, but Edward Norton was drunk and was being carried to his bedroom by some of his friends.
Seeing that Edward Norton was drunk, Pence Norton was a little unhappy at the time. After the Q&A with the state legislature, the defendant's lawyer stated
"Obviously, Mr. State's testimony is sufficient to prove that my client did drink alcohol that night, and was in a drunken state, and did not have the capacity to infringe on others."
"Even if Ms. Orvis was really assaulted during the party, it can't be my client's doing."
"How can a person who is so drunk that he needs to be carried back to the bedroom by someone else violate others?" He turned and pointed to the apprehensive Edward Norton, and then to Burns Norton, who was sitting in the first row.
"I've been in trial for a week, and I'm sure the jurors have gotten to know my client."
"He was often nervous, and when he was nervous, he couldn't speak. He was afraid of his father, and my client was as obedient as a sheep in the presence of Mr. Burns Norton. ”
"I was raised by my father, Pence Norton, and children who grew up in single-parent families often had shortcomings of one kind or another. In the face of Mr. Pence Norton, a successful father for a long time, it is easy to be oppressed by Mr. Pence Norton's confident temperament, and have an inferiority complex. ”
“obje! It has nothing to do with this eucalyptus. Trenco stood up against it.
"Your Excellency, knowing my client's upbringing and family environment will help to understand what kind of person my client really is, and it will help the jury determine whether my client will commit acts that would be consistent with violating Orvis." The defendant's lawyer said seriously.
Brooklyn nodded, reluctantly accepting the defense's account, but he warned anyway
"I hope that in the next sentence, I will hear something related to Ben Yu, rather than the cliché story of a single-parent family or the difficulty of a single father's life."
"Single-parent families who are harder than him abound, and single fathers who are harder than Mr. Burns Norton are everywhere. Compared to most single-parent families, at least your client has money. The defendant's lawyer bowed slightly, and then continued
"You have all seen my client's performance in court over the past week. He was an unassertive man and often needed to seek guidance from his father. ”
"How could such a person violate Orvis?"
"Mr. Councillor also mentioned that my client was in a state of intoxication during his phone call, and it is clear that my client is not capable of doing anything."
"I admit that the victim's experience is deplorable, but that is not a reason for my client to be wronged." After saying that, the defendant's lawyer nodded and returned to his seat.
It is the plaintiff's turn to cross-examine the evidence. Trunco stood up, walked in front of the state legislature, took two steps back, looked up and down, and turned straight to the jury bench.
"First of all, I would like to remind the jury and the court that the defense has more than once instigated witnesses to give false testimony and bribed our witnesses to commit perjury."
“obje! It's just his guess! The defendant's lawyer immediately objected
"We didn't do it, it's just his speculation, not the facts."
"The opposition is valid." Brooklyn ruled
"Trangko, watch your wording." Trenko nodded, but did not relent, but continued
"Secondly, the defendant has repeatedly applied for useless and repeated character witnesses to testify in court, and has turned a blind eye to the evidence we have applied for, or even opened his mouth to cross-examine the evidence. The other party is trying to exhaust our valid evidence with a large amount of invalid evidence. ”
"The other side has been dragging out the time, and they don't want to have a good trial."
“obje! Speculation, not facts! The defendant's lawyer again objected.
"The opposition is valid." Brooklyn glanced at the plaintiff's bench and warned
"Trenco, this is the cross-examination, please ask questions to the witnesses." Trunco bowed slightly, returning to the state legislature.
"Mr. Councillor, you mentioned in your statement that during your call with Pence Norton, you commissioned Pence Norton to seek out Edward Norton, the defendant, and ask him about your child's performance in school, right?" The state legislator nodded
"Yes, because of my work, I have less and less communication with my son, and now he is reluctant to communicate with me. I wonder if he's doing well at school. ”
"Why did you have the idea of asking Edward Norton if your child was doing well at school?" Trunco asked.
Brooklyn glanced at Tronco and reminded
"Be concise and clear and don't ask multiple questions at once." His question sounded ambiguous, asking why the legislator chose Edward Norton over anyone else, and asking why children were doing well in school.
This can easily create ambiguity for witnesses.
"Okay." Tranko was as good as a stream, and immediately corrected his own problems
"Excuse me, why did you choose Edward Norton over the others?"
"This ......" the congressman was stunned for a moment, looked up at Brooklyn, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
“obje! The other side is pestering the witnesses, not trying to get to the bottom of the facts! The defendant's lawyer stood up to oppose and resolved the siege in time.
This question is like asking why you take a sip of soy milk before breakfast, and why you step on your left foot first when you go out.
How can there be so many whys?
"The opposition is valid." Brooklyn ruled
"Tronko, you're getting closer and closer to that guy." He pointed to Jason Bull in the plaintiff's dock and warned.
Trunko bowed slightly in apology, then said
"Let me put it another way."
"Why did you suddenly ask Edward Norton, the defendant, to prove to you that your children are doing well on the phone when you talk to Pence Norton about work during your off-hours?"
"I ...... Pence and I are good friends, and suddenly I thought of my son, so I asked, is there anything wrong with this? Trunco shook his head
"Mind you, it's me asking you, not you, asking me."
"Well, according to what you said, you suddenly thought and suddenly asked."
"I just thought of it and asked." The councillor corrected dissatisfied
"Otherwise, why would I ask Pence to go to Edward?"
"What do you say when you call a friend after work?" Trenco simply stopped asking the congressman and turned to the jury to ask.
Then he asked himself
"Let's go to the bar together, or go to the game together, hang out."
"Sometimes I see a funny joke or a funny video and want to share it with my friends."
“obje!” The defendant's lawyer objected loudly
"It has nothing to do with Ben Eucalyptus!" Regardless of this, Trunco continued
"Of course, sometimes we have to turn to friends for work."
"Shouldn't we just talk about work at this time and avoid disturbing our friends' rest?"
"If you're having a party at home, maybe invite your friends over along."
“obje! Ask yourself! ”
"Well, the party is hosted by your kids, and it's not for your friends."
But your friend is talking to you about work, and suddenly jumps to a personal question about how his son is doing at school, and asks you to call your own child to answer it for him. Isn't that strange? ”
“obje!!!” duangduangduangduang!!
"Tranko!" Brooklyn yelled, and Trunco finally shut up.
"Your behavior was offensive, you know?" Trenco nodded obediently.
"Ask the jury to ignore the entire question and answer of the plaintiff's lawyer." After speaking to the jury, Brooklyn spoke to Jerry
"For the record, contempt of court."
"The 'ticket' will be sent to your company later. I hope this is the last time. Next time, I'll kick you out of the courtroom. ”
"Do you hear that?" Trenco nodded
"Yes, Judge." Seeing that Brooklyn nodded in satisfaction, he turned his head and continued to ask questions to the congressman
"If what you're saying is true, what are you talking about that suddenly led you to think of your own children from work and the idea of having Mr. Pence Norton call Edward Norton to answer the question?"
“obje! Pestering witnesses! The defendant's lawyer immediately stood up and objected
"Your Excellency, his behavior just now proves that he does not seem to be trying to figure out the facts, but only wants to disturb the order and cause a dispute with the witnesses!"
"The objection is invalid." Brooklyn looked at the councillor
"I'd love to know the answer to that question."
"Your Excellency, please answer your questions." The state legislator was a little flustered, and he looked around, finally at Brooklyn Road
"I can't say that this involves confidentiality requirements. To be public here is to leak secrets. ”
"Can't you say the general direction of the topic?" Trunco asked. The lawmaker shook his head.
"Your Excellency, Judge." Trunco turned to Brooklyn
"Given the defense's incessant maneuvers over the past week or so, I have reasonable suspicion that the witness is committing perjury."
“obje!”
"Otherwise, wouldn't a single sentence of 'involving confidentiality requirements' solve the whole problem?"
"This witness is meaningless at all, this witness himself is to provide this phone call to provide proof of incapacity for the defendant, and the core questions are focused on this phone call, but any question I ask, as long as he doesn't want to answer, can be answered directly with the confidentiality request."
"Because the content of the telephone conversation was confidential, I couldn't ask questions at all, and the witnesses said whatever they said."
