Chapter 413, Surveillance

Orvis eucalyptus is not easy to play. This is something that is known at the beginning of the acceptance. The fact that Orvis was assaulted by the Nortons was never met with crucial evidence.

Orvis did no violation identification, no eyewitnesses, and no surveillance video. If it hadn't been for the original attempt to trap Pence Norton through Ben Eucalyptus, I'm afraid this case would have been dismissed long ago.

Even now, after the joint efforts of the plaintiff, the judge in Brooklyn, the Texas police and the NYPD, most of the evidence in their possession is circumstantial, and there is no evidence that can play a decisive role.

As a result, Brooklyn was able to understand the new strategy chosen by Jason Bull. There is no tangible evidence, everything is even inference, and it can only be through emotional contagion, so that the jury can sympathize with the victim, and then seize the loopholes of the defendant's repeated falsification of evidence and testimony and bribery of witnesses, and watch while fighting.

In fact, if there is no joint effort of many parties, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are wronging the defendant and trying to put a crime on him that does not belong to him.

Trenco describes Orvis's experience at home as tragic and easy to empathize with. But this is only an inference, no matter how good the statement, no matter how empathetic the experience, it also needs tangible evidence to support it in order to be convincing.

What's more, Tranco's description of Orvis's experience is actually a bit off-topic. Brooklyn's dismissal of the defendant's lawyer's objection was a risky move, and he needed to be prepared for a follow-up appeal.

“obje!” The defendant's lawyer stood up again, pointed at Trenco and said angrily

"Your Excellency, I don't know what the plaintiff's lawyer is saying about the use of this."

"Everything he said was just inferences, not empirical evidence. Everything comes from imagination. ”

"And these imaginations have nothing to do with Ben Eucalyptus, I don't know what the use of him saying this!" The loud voice of the defendant's lawyer succeeded in sobering up the jurors who were immersed in the sad story.

Tranko looked at the jurors who were gradually recovering, and secretly felt pity in his heart. He turned to look at Brooklyn, and without embarrassing Brooklyn any longer, he ended his speech.

Brooklyn had already helped them just now, and if he had to go on an inch, he wasn't sure if Brooklyn would continue to help.

After the plaintiff has made up the supplement, the defendant still has nothing to add. This round of evidence is over. Because Tranko's 'tragic story' wasted so much time, Brooklyn had to declare the trial temporarily closed.

Toward the end of the day, Brooklyn did not forget to warn the defendants to "not perjury" and remind them to pay the fine as soon as possible.

As soon as Brooklyn said this, the jurors really looked at the defendant.

"We'll pay the fine, but please don't use similar shaming titles to call us." The defendant's lawyer said with some shame.

Brooklyn looked at him and asked

"Are you commanding me?" Without waiting for the defendant's lawyer to answer, Brooklyn turned to Jerry

"The defendant's lawyer contempted the court in an attempt to manipulate the judge in order to reach a ruling in his favor, increasing the fine to US dollars, and recorded the defendant's lawyer's attempt to manipulate the judge, delight of court, manipulate the opposing witness, and apply for witnesses to frequently commit false testimony, and later send it to the Bar Association."

"Are you satisfied, Mr. Lawyer?" The defendant's lawyer opened his mouth, not daring to speak. He was afraid that if he mispronounced a word, he would be punished even more.

He had heard of Brooklyn's bad relationship with the Bar Association, and now he could only pray that the rumors were true and that the Bar Association would ignore Brooklyn.

Otherwise, he's finished. If nothing else, perjury alone is enough to revoke a practicing qualification. Not to mention the behavior that followed by the bribery of witnesses and attempts to manipulate judges, which together made him unable to obtain a practicing qualification for the rest of his life.

"Some clients or lawyers may think that the bribery of witnesses, perjury by witnesses, or other procedural violations is happening in court, and I will be furious." Brooklyn said loudly

"Yes, I'm angry. But it will not be so angry as some people think that they will directly reject the results of all previous efforts and announce a new trial. ”

"I'm not going to let these people get their way."

"Instead, I'll let the trial continue. But this does not mean that violations of the procedural rules will not be punished. ”

"I don't care if these ideas are conceived by the client, the client's family or the lawyer's defender, as long as one party violates it, I will punish the client and his lawyer."

"At present, the punishment of the parties is more inclined to reduce credibility, fines, and if the defendant is the defendant, the sentence will be increased after losing the case."

"The punishment of lawyers tends to be in terms of qualifications, and if they are serious, as is the case with the defendant's lawyers, the court will write to the bar association, recommending that they revoke their practice qualifications and prohibit them from continuing to practice."

"If you are not afraid of punishment, you can violate the rules of procedure to your heart's content."

"Adjournment!" ………… The next day, Tuesday. Just as Brooklyn was busy, an indictment caught his attention.

The author of the indictment is Anne Aldington. When I saw Anne's name, Brooklyn, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't spoken to Anne on the phone for a while.

The last time they spoke on the phone was last weekend. For a couple, this time interval is already a long one.

Writing it down silently, Brooklyn went back and read the indictment carefully. This is a murder in which two veterans deliberately murdered three families in a brutal manner.

Most of the evidence attached to the indictment by the prosecution can only point to one of the murderers, and the other murderer's pointing evidence is more circumstantial.

It seems a bit of a lack of evidence. The case would have been a minor test for Anne Aldington.

Thinking so, Brooklyn was about to sign when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the defense lawyer.

Harvey Spector. Brooklyn frowned. Harvey Spector is a senior partner at the law firm of Pearson Spector & Co.

A tough guy. It seems that this case is not a small test for Anne Aldington, and it could be a big trouble.

With Anne Aldington puffing in her head, Brooklyn signed the indictment and set it aside.

"Bob, this eucalyptus is very interesting, remember to stay." Brooklyn admonished.

"Got it, but you'd better finish today's work first." Bob joins the rush with a schedule in hand.

There's a lot of work in Brooklyn today, except for E. In addition to his work, Harvard needs to select candidates for the public class in June.

This requires Brooklyn to use his connections and pick the right celebrity. If the status of this candidate is too low, it will make people look down on Brooklyn, and if the status is too high...... Mr. President has served in this role.

For Harvard, there is no such thing as being too high-status. In addition to this, Brooklyn needs to work with Burke as soon as possible to develop this year's admissions criteria.

At a meeting in the Harvard auditorium at the beginning of the year, they discussed withdrawing from the USNews rankings, giving up their fame for the time being, focusing on pragmatism, and recruiting better and better talent.

This requires them to develop a new admissions standard. The previous criterion would have raised the score to a high weighting in order to take care of USNEWS's university rankings.

It's a troublesome thing. Even if they don't need to draw it up themselves, they only need to choose one of the several standards submitted by others.

These two events alone took Brooklyn half a day. Brooklyn, the candidate for the June Open Class, chose Reilly Winston.

Brooklyn predicts that New York will be able to decide the winner in early June, and the state government is about to have its busiest period after the winner is decided.

Before that, let Winston go to Boston for a 'tour'. The admissions criteria are even more troublesome. In fact, Brooklyn knew almost nothing about this thing, but he couldn't completely let Burke take care of it alone.

So he could only listen to Burke explain the advantages and disadvantages of each standard separately, and then discuss it with Burke. Mainly, the part introduced by Burke wastes a lot of time.

After choosing, Burke said jokingly

"Brooklyn, last time at the meeting, you proposed to strictly adhere to the checkpoint of recommendation letters, why don't you be responsible for communicating with this year's recommendation letters, which can help you get familiar with the whole picture of Harvard as soon as possible." Brooklyn shook her head

"It's okay for me to be responsible for part of it, but I'm responsible for all of it, and I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Harvard." A letter of recommendation is just a letter of recommendation, not an admission letter, and having a letter of recommendation is just a little lower than the threshold for admission, not no threshold.

As a result, some students still can't get through even if the threshold is lowered very low, and such students need to contact the letter writer to discuss the follow-up treatment.

Is it to be eliminated outright, or to add some tests, or to open up the donation gap? It all depends on the relationship between the letter writer and the student.

It also depends on the communication skills of the contact. A person with good communication skills may lead to a closer relationship between the letter writer and Harvard, or even some collaboration.

A bad communicator can push an otherwise close partner away or even disrupt the cooperation.

It's a place where risk and benefit coexist. But Brooklyn was not going to take on that position. He's not the federal magistrate he used to be, and he needs to climb up at every opportunity.

Now this position is dispensable for him. Part of the responsibility is to show people, to tell everyone that the Harvard faction now has a person like him Brooklyn Lee.

"Yes, too." Burke didn't hear the slightest question, and he continued, as if he didn't realize that Brooklyn had rejected him

"Then remember to go back to Boston in June with the public class speakers you chose."

"By the way, John went to New York, did he visit you?" Near hanging up, Burke asked suddenly.

"I've been here. Came last weekend. Brooklyn paused for a moment to tell the truth

"And with Lyne Sberg."

"John wants to use the rest of the time to walk around, travel, and you can take care of him if he's in New York." Burke admonished

"John is stubborn, he may not be able to pull his face and ask you for help." Sounds like a sigh for an old friend.

"You know he's coming to New York?" Brooklyn asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

"What's there to see in New York?" Brooklyn seemed to be complaining

"There's no place of interest, there's no natural scenery here, except for cars, and I really don't understand why I came to New York." Burke listened patiently to Brooklyn's complaints, waiting for him to finish before speaking

"New York is a big city. And aren't you in New York? ”

"Me? What do I have to look at? ”

"You are John's handpicked successor. He has a special affection for you. Burke said.

Brooklyn frowned, and said in a somewhat low tone

"But I stabbed him in the back with you."

"He won't care." Burke reassured

"John was a very idealistic man, and he didn't care about it for the sake of idealism. As long as you can bring Harvard back to glory in the future, he doesn't care about anything. ”

"And what if I don't?" Brooklyn asked. Burke let out a strange laugh, and then listened to Burke

"Then you'd better start being religious now and pray for heaven after death."

"John won't spare you."

"They all criticize me for not being religious, maybe I should really believe something." Brooklyn asked quietly

"Any good suggestions?"

"It's the first time I've heard that religion needs advice." Burke joked. Brooklyn went down jokingly

"There are so many choices, and I don't have that much time to understand. Do you have any religious beliefs? ”

"Me? I didn't. I can trust anything when necessary. Burke Road. His words sounded very sincere.

Brooklyn asked with a burst of laughter

"Am I particularly famous now?"

"Do I have a headline in every issue of the Boston newspaper?" Burke didn't say anything, and Brooklyn continued to ask

"Is there a local TV station in Boston that is going to ask me to do a show? If so, you can help me collect it first, and when I go to Boston in June, I can pick it up. Burke remained silent.

Brooklyn laughed twice and fell silent. The fact that he has no religious beliefs has just been revealed, and the question of his religious beliefs has just erupted.

Compared to Orvis, and the recent situation in New York, religious opposition to Brooklyn is a trivial matter.

Not to mention the federal states, there are a lot of people in New York City who don't know. If he hadn't been keeping an eye on what Brooklyn was doing, how would Burke know this?

How could he know all about a small incident in New York that was quickly extinguished? Brooklyn posed the question to Burke, and now it was Burke's turn to give him an explanation.

Brooklyn could accept Burke's assertiveness and Burke's expansion of power, but he could not accept Burke's surveillance.

The last one to spy on him was to think that Brooklyn was a natural genius for crime, believing that sooner or later he would endanger society.

For this reason, Brooklyn broke out into a serious conflict with him. At that time, Brooklyn was just an ordinary judge.
