At the end of the meeting, Brooklyn gathered his thoughts, opened the door, and bumped into Bob head-on. Bob grabbed Brooklyn and ran out.

"My dear Judge, you're almost an hour late!" This afternoon, it was originally planned that Brooklyn would continue to drive the Orvis Eucalyptus, but it was directly delayed by a phone call from Burke until now.

And just as Brooklyn was getting ready, walking into the courtroom, and about to announce the continuation, the original defendants and defendants came forward in unison.

"Your Excellency, we have discovered a new set of witnesses and applied to add them to the witness list, they are the key figures in the murder of the victim Ovis, who can clear the stigma on my client and prove my client's innocence." The defendant's lawyer said, handing over a copy of the document.

The first two pages are two witness profiles that resemble resumes. The two witnesses were a man and a woman, the woman's name was Golia, and the man's name was Leo.

Seeing that Brooklyn was reviewing witness information, the defendant's lawyer continued

"Your Excellency, these two witnesses have been arrested by the State of Arkansas on 13 counts of assault, burglary, theft, and are being held in the Washington County Jail in Arkansas." Maybe it's because the first president was named George Washington, and the Federation is full of Washington, and people with names like Washington abound, and there are many people with names like Washington.

Washington County is a county seat in northwestern Arkansas. But Brooklyn hadn't heard of the county.

To prevent misunderstandings, the defendant's attorney thoughtfully stated that the two witnesses were being held in the Washington County Jail in Arkansas, not Washington, D.C.

Prisoners are required to testify in court, and they appear in court across jurisdictions, which requires official documentation, a process of application, and the possibility of transporting witnesses from Arkansas.

Of course, you can also choose to take other routes, such as videos, transcripts, etc. At the same time, the fact that the defendant did not have the ability to facilitate the matter does not mean that it is not capable of doing so.

The purpose of allowing the court to appear is to prove that the defense did not have private contact with witnesses during the whole process from the time they were released from prison to the time they testified, which is a powerful response to the prejudice against the defense that began to rise yesterday as "buying witnesses" and "instructing witnesses to give false testimony."

When there is no contact in the whole process, the witness appears in court to testify that the defendant is innocent, and it cannot be said that the defendant instructed the witness to commit perjury, right?

However, the defense forgot one thing - the case was that 47 non-profit organizations jointly sued Edward Norton for restricting the personal freedom of Ovis de Silva Velázquez and violating it during the period.

And not the murder of Orvis. From the beginning to the end, the plaintiff was not guilty of murder, but of restraint of personal liberty and violation.

"Your Excellency, these two witnesses have nothing to do with Ben Yu." Jason Bull, who had come forward with Tronco, stood behind Tronco and spoke after glancing at the material from a distance.

Brooklyn looked at the defendant's lawyer.

"They have already admitted to violating Orvis on the road while he was hitchhiking." The defendant's lawyer said.

"We're talking about the crimes you defendant committed against Ovis on April 25, not about what happened afterward. The two witnesses you applied for clearly violated Orvis after that and this has nothing to do with Ben. Seeing that Brooklyn was about to dismiss the application, the defendant's lawyer had no choice but to settle for the next best thing

"Your Excellency, these two witnesses have violated Ovis, and they can prove that my client did not violate her before this." Brooklyn frowned.

It's a disgusting way to prove it. Even if he has seen so many eucalyptus as a judge, he has rarely encountered such a disgusting person's defense ideas.

The defendant's lawyer attempted to prove that Ovis had not been violated before, using the person who later assaulted Ovis. How to prove it?

This requires, at a minimum, that the later violators of Ovis's violators describe in detail the course of their violation. No matter how you prove it, this alone is disgusting enough.

However, the defendant's lawyer's application was reasonable and legal, and even if Brooklyn rejected it, the defendant could make it a fact through a later application.

The difference between the status of the judge and the lawyer is not so large, and if the judge is not satisfied with the ruling, he can forcibly overturn the judge's decision by applying for reconsideration at a later stage.

The reason why judges rarely refute their rulings in reality, even if they are unfavorable to their own side, is because lawyers in reality do not leave the court after a lawsuit.

He still needs to fight n multiple lawsuits. Applying for reconsideration is a very offensive behavior, and most people will not do it unless they don't want to do it, or the judge's ruling is too exaggerated.

But the defendant's lawyer is clearly not among them. As early as the beginning of his involvement in the Ovis eucalyptus, he should have had the realization that this was the last eucalyptus he had taken over.

Therefore, the defendant's lawyer is not afraid of offending Brooklyn, and if Brooklyn's ruling is too outrageous, he will not hesitate to apply for reconsideration.

“ok。” Brooklyn collected the materials of the two witnesses, handed them to Bob, and said to the defendant's lawyer

"Hopefully we'll see ...... soon," he glanced again

"Miss Goliath and Mr. Leo." The defendant's lawyer had to say something, but Brooklyn had already ignored him.

"Tranco, what's the matter with you?" Brooklyn asked.

"Your Excellency, I apply that the defendant be listed as a witness."

"It can't be!" The defendant's lawyer didn't care about using the court to bring the witnesses over to clear the stigma of 'buying witnesses' and 'perjury', and directly screamed.

"The defendant, Edward Norton, is over 20 years old and is a normal person with full capacity for autonomous behavior." Trunco said

"And he is one of the parties to the violation, if we really wronged him, it is up to him to clarify." Trunco said in the front, and Jason Bull in the back kept nodding his head.

Brooklyn heard something unusual in the plaintiff's words. They were going to put the treasure on Edward Norton!

Edward Norton will be the last worthy witness in their application.

"This eucalyptus has caused a huge public opinion in the outside world, and people in the entire federation are paying attention." Brooklyn groaned

"I think the plaintiff's application is very reasonable, you have always insisted on Edward Norton's innocence, and what happened at the party in Edward Norton's apartment on the night of April 25 has become the focus of this controversy. Just in time to give him a chance to tell everyone what happened that night. Whether it's true or false that you've been emphasizing that he's drunk, and whether the victim Orvis had sex with Edward Norton at the party. ”

"I think the plaintiff's application is reasonable." Brooklyn said, glancing up at Edward Norton.

The defendant's lawyer said hurriedly

"Your Excellency, my client has been under tremendous pressure from public opinion since the incident, and he is already frightened, and I am afraid that he will not be able to give effective testimony."

"I have long eyes, and I can surf the Internet." Brooklyn tapped on the buzzing computer, disgruntled

"I can see very clearly who is under the pressure of public opinion."

"Alright, later you can apply for the defendant Edward Norton as a witness." After making a decision, Brooklyn waved them away.

The trial resumed. The defense seems to have put the treasure on the two prisoners, Golia and Leo, and in this round of evidence, they only applied for a summary of public opinion from the Internet, in which in addition to public opinion, the only commendable thing is the source of the photo of Ovislo.

According to the evidence provided by the defense, Ovis's Luo Zhao was originally posted at Baruch College, and Edward Norton was accompanying his father to watch a horse race at the time of the Luo Zhao release, and he was not at Baruch College.

The defense used this as evidence to prove that Luo Zhao was not in the hands of Edward Norton, and then tried to prove that Edward Norton did not violate Orvis.

But there is undoubtedly a huge loophole in this idea. When it was the plaintiff's turn to cross-examine the evidence, Trunco pointed this point out directly.

He said

"I don't think many people will take Luo photos by themselves."

"In the same way, just because Edward Norton wasn't there when the photo was released doesn't mean that the source of the photo isn't Edward Norton."

"He can hire someone to post it, stay at home himself, and deliberately make an alibi."

"Now that computer technology is so advanced, he can even control it remotely, or use technical means to set up a time-delay device. There's nothing surprising about that. ”

“obje！ Guess! It's all the other party's guess! The defendant's lawyer shouted.

"I retract my guess." Trunco didn't need Brooklyn to make a ruling, and simply spread his hands.

"Even if Edward Norton didn't release a photo of the victim......"

“obje！ I didn't publish it in the first place! My client had ample alibi at the time of the photo release, please pay attention to the wording! Again, the defendant's lawyer stood up against it.

“ok。 Good. Stretchco spread his hands, somewhat innocent, and he paused to reorganize the language

"Assuming Edward Norton doesn't have ......"

"It's a fact that my client didn't post a photo!" Again, the defendant's lawyer objected.

"Okay, you didn't post the photos, but the posting of the photos is not the same as the violation that took place on the night of April 25. The fact that he didn't release a photo can only prove that he doesn't have a photo of Orvis in his hand, and it can't even prove that the photo of Orvis on the night of April 25 was not taken by him! ”

“obje！ The other party asked me to incriminate myself! The defendant's lawyer shouted again.

"Your Excellency, the other party is deliberately disrupting the order of the court." Trenco simply pointed to the defendant's lawyer and filed the complaint.

"This is the courtroom, and we should be careful with our wording, rather than choosing ambiguous wording or words that are likely to lead to misunderstanding and ambiguity." The defendant's lawyer said seriously

"The other party still uses words such as "if" and "even" when stating the facts, and he has already determined in his mind that my client is a criminal when he makes his statement."

"The other party mentioned in the later statement that 'it can't even be proved that the photo of Ovis' Luo on the night of April 25 was not taken by him', in an attempt to make our client self-incriminant, which is an act against legal morality." duangduang！

Brooklyn tapped the gavel and said

"If you are not satisfied with the other party and believe that the other party has violated the professional ethics of lawyers, you can go to the bar association to file a complaint after the trial. This is the court, not the bar association! "Seeing that the two sides have died down, Brooklyn said

"If there is no additional evidence against the defendant's application...... "the parties have no intention of doing so." This round of evidence is over.

It is the plaintiff's turn to present evidence. As speculated, Tronco directly applied for the defendant, Edward Norton, to testify.

Meanwhile, Tronco looked at Pence Norton in the first row

"Your Excellency, I request that Pence Norton, the father of the defendant, Edward Norton, appear as an additional witness."

"Pence Norton was also present at the party that night, and in previous statements to party members, we agreed with the defense that Pence Norton remained awake and that he could complement Edward Norton's testimony." ATC diagram poor dagger.

Under the guise of Edward Norton, their real target is actually Pence Norton! Jason Bull did an analysis of the father and son pair after returning yesterday.

Certain statements by the defendant's lawyer caught his attention. Based on his recollection of Edward Norton's performance at trial, Jason Bull believes that Edward Norton is likely to be an accomplice in the assault, in a dominant role.

And the real culprit is actually Edward Norton's father, Burns Norton. There are many reasons for suspicion, but they are basically the result of logical reasoning, and he does not have the evidence of real one-hit killing.

As in this case, they lack stronger evidence. Jason Bull believes that the only way to get the father and son to confess is to cross-examine them in court.

Only by listing the father and son as witnesses and being cross-examined by them will it be possible to catch the loophole of the lie.

Otherwise, there is no other way. In addition, despite the current favorable situation in the trial, the green light in the mirror jury has even successfully surrounded the red light.

But he had already noticed that the jurors had a high level of logical and rational thinking. When he let the emotional storm brought by Trenco dissipate, and reason returns, the situation will be reversed in an instant.

No matter how they tell a story, no evidence is no evidence. Succubus Feast employees who could have been key evidence were either bribed or dismissed for perjury.

The other group of parties, the party guests, have all been sealed. Jason Bull couldn't think of any other way than to get the parties on the witness stand and cross-examine them in court.

“obje！” It is certainly impossible for the defendant's counsel to agree to such an outrageous application. He immediately shouted

"Your Excellency, first of all, my client Edward Norton and Burns Norton are father and son, and my client grew up in a single-parent family, and the relationship with his father is closer than that of a normal family."

"In this relationship, it is likely that Mr. Pence Norton subconsciously concealed it out of the protection of his son, which in turn created a suspicion of perjury."

"Secondly, as Mr. Pence Norton's personal lawyer, I was not notified in advance that Mr. Pence Norton was required to testify."

"Mr. Pence Norton, as a citizen of the Commonwealth, is certainly prepared to fulfill his civic duties and is happy to testify in court, but this is not in accordance with the process."
