Chapter 497, I can only do it myself
Brooklyn didn't stop there. He questioned the defendants directly and asked them why they were doing this.
This is actually a stupid question that sounds stupid at first glance. Why do you do this, it's not nonsense! Because, of course...... Why?
Many things are ignored by people because they are taken for granted, but when you really look into the why, you will find that things are not so taken for granted, and there are many internal causes hidden under the surface of what is taken for granted.
According to the plaintiff's statement of circumstance, which was also approved by the defendants, the defendants decided to bully Anock because they saw the scene where the basketball captain Exxon did something to Yoonok, and they were jealous.
Exxon seemed to think the same way, so he disguised his figure with trepidation and came to the scene. But the defense's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
The defense is just a bunch of little girls, and they have long been stupefied by the atmosphere of the courtroom. It was Brooklyn's gentle tone of repeated questioning that made them let their guard down a little and answer the question.
The answer they gave was simple: they just didn't like Yinok! Exxon's actions to Enoch were just an inducement, and whether or not that day happened, what happened to Ennock was bound to happen.
They hated Enok for attracting the attention of all the boys! They should have been paying attention to their cheerleaders!
This answer was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was stunned. For the first time, Yin Nuoke raised his head.
This is Brooklyn seeing what Anock looks like. Then Brooklyn understands why the youthful and restless boys did something to Ennock, and why the defendants are so jealous that they twist it.
Brooklyn asked Anock gently
"They think it's an honor, a good thing, don't you think so? What do you think, Anock Yinok? ”
"Speak up, Enok, this is the courtroom, no one can do anything to you, whatever you think, you can say it." Brooklyn encouraged
"Yin Nok, I have the final say in this room, and no one dares to hurt you here." With Brooklyn's continued encouragement, Inock finally mustered up his courage, and he shouted at the dock with red eyes, crying and yelling about his disgust at those actions.
Those things that seemed glorious to the cheerleaders made Yinnok sick! He just likes to wear skirts, not g, and doesn't like men.
His classmates treated him like a girl, and his actions to him made him vomit. He would rather everyone isolate him, snub him, give him a nickname, as they did before, but ignore him.
He would rather no one come near than someone else approached like this. It seemed that it was the first time that Yin Nok had spoken the words from the bottom of his heart.
He finished shouting in one breath, choked with crying, and his speech was a little unclear. After shouting, he burst into tears.
The courtroom fell silent. Only Yinnock's cries echoed. The four defendants looked at Innock dumbfounded, shocked by what he had said.
The gray hoodie at the door pulled the hat tighter guiltily. The auditorium was drowsy, and only the machines were working quietly.
It's weird. If these words were not said in court, in such a serious setting, in the presence of adults, if it was only in the school, in the bathroom that day, it would only be exchanged for ridicule from the cheerleaders.
But today, here, Yin Nok's words spoke to their hearts, and they seemed a little overwhelmed.
They found out they were mistaken! Their jealousy seemed so ridiculous and ugly. Amid Yoonok's cries, Brooklyn rang the gavel and announced the verdict.
He demanded that the defendant publicly apologize to the plaintiff in front of all the teachers and students of the school, admit his mistake, and compensate the plaintiff $1,500.
Brooklyn made special rules for the amount of damages, which had to be earned by the four defendants and could not be paid by the parents.
A school bullying with no dead people and no physical injuries can only be like this. Noon, Mexican restaurant.
Brooklyn, Jerry, Nelly, Webster. The number of people who ate became four again. They moved back from the corner to the window, and the number of people dwindled so they had to give way to the large table in the corner.
Brooklyn has become accustomed to the departure of Ray and Bob, and to the taciturn Webster. He sometimes even thinks of Webster's big man, enough for a top two, just for E. Save a penny.
After a few days together, Brooklyn has a general idea of what Webster is and is trying to trust his new taciturn assistant, but it will take time, just as Webster needs time to grasp what Brooklyn meant.
They don't have the slightest tacit understanding now, like ordering food, Brooklyn wants a roast rib, but they don't know what went wrong in the process of transmission, reception, and translation, Webers ordered a corn soup.
The gap between grilled ribs and corn chowder was so big that Brooklyn had to warn of it
"Webster, I mean third in the second row." Webster was stunned as he held up the menu, glanced down again, and looked up
"Sorry, I thought it was the second in the penultimate row." The waiter standing next to him had expertly memorized the Brooklyn ribs, kept smiling, and didn't say a word more.
Brooklyn is one of the restaurant's regular customers, and the waiters are used to it. Seeing that the waiter did not modify the menu, Brooklyn couldn't help but complain secretly, even the waiter in the restaurant had a higher degree of tacit understanding with him than Webster.
After ordering the meal and waiting, Brooklyn deliberately learned more about Webster, continued to cultivate tacit understanding, and led the topic to him.
According to Webster's own introduction, he comes from a small village called Corcory in Idaho, and his parents are still alive, with two older brothers and three younger sisters, the youngest of whom is only 11 years old this year.
This information is available in e.. In Y's human resource management system, several people here can be checked, Bob and Ray both recommended Webster Hou, and Brooklyn they have seen Webster's information.
Already bored, Nelly began to fold the tablecloth, and it seemed as if she wanted to fold a corner of the tablecloth into a rose.
And then she rightfully failed. Spreading out the tablecloth and smoothing out the creases, Nelly said suddenly
"The legal age of marriage for women in Idaho is 12 years old, and your sister ......," Webster nodded sadly and said in a muffled voice
"I wanted to bring her to New York, but they were against it." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Brooklyn.
The topic of conversation caught Brooklyn off guard. He didn't say anything, but craned his neck slightly to look behind Webster.
The waiter brought his grilled ribs. The topic stopped, and the four of them began to eat lunch. After lunch, Brooklyn finished another eucalyptus in the courtroom when Webster came to remind him that Will McEvoyne had arrived.
Will could actually come directly to the courtroom, but he was invited by Brooklyn to come and go directly to the inner court.
A little while later, Dan Liz arrived, and instead of going back, Brooklyn lent them his office for an interview, while he continued to work in the courtroom.
It wasn't until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon that Brooklyn rang the gavel, read the verdict, and ended today's trial, turned off the computer, and led Jerry and Webster back to the inner court.
Will McWone's interview with Dan Liz has just ended. Brooklyn smiled and shook Will's hand, led the two to sit down on the couch again, and then introduced them again, jokingly
"Will, Dan is the pride of our Harvard family, remember to write well when you report." Will McWinn was no longer interested in Brooklyn at this time, he was more interested in Dan Liese.
The two talked a lot during the interview, and Dan Lise's experience fascinated him deeply. Will is like a scumbag, ruthlessly abandoning the 'old pearl' Brooklyn and falling in love with the 'mysterious and beautiful' Dan Liz.
He looked at Dan Liz and said
"Of course, I had a great time with Ms. Dan." Hearing this, Brooklyn raised an eyebrow.
"This guy used to only on TV, and I bet I was more precious than his girlfriend back then." Brooklyn Sheep whispered as he pointed at Will and said to Dan Liz
"Now he doesn't even look at me. You're his new darling, aren't you, Will. Ha ha! The last sentence was addressed to Will.
Will was a little awkward, reassuring himself that it was all Brooklyn's own doing, and then got up and said goodbye.
Brooklyn also stood up, glancing over Will's shoulder, through the window, and down outside, before retracting his gaze for a moment and smiling and holding out his hand.
"Will, maybe A can develop a new show and follow Dan to Africa so that the audience can see what Africa is really like." Will Road
"It's none of my business." That's a bit hard to say. Brooklyn didn't care, let go and sent the two downstairs to leave.
Along the way, Brooklyn was talking to Dan Liz about her trip to Africa. Brooklyn had never been to Africa, so he could only use the information he got from books and documentaries to tell Dan Liz to pay attention to safety, pay attention to hygiene, and bring more medicines.
As he said this, Brooklyn glanced at the photographer behind him and smiled
"You can take pictures of these, so that I can also get the light of Dan and gain some popularity."
"Now this guy probably won't even be allowed to show my back." Brooklyn pointed at Will's back and laughed
"I don't know where I offended him." The photographer looked at Will. Will secretly despised it in his heart, it was really a standard politician's face, a politician's style.
can endure it until now, it's really hard for him! Thinking so, Will hesitated for a moment and nodded. The photographer quickly turned on the machine and began to record.
The elevator came to the first floor, and as soon as it opened, I saw a woman with a crazy look breaking through the barrier of the security personnel and heading straight for Brooklyn.
The photographer's lens was aimed at the elevator door and captured the whole scene. Under the lens worth at least tens of thousands of dollars, every strand of Gracie's hair was clearly visible, the pores on her face, the movement of the muscles under the skin, and the hideous and exaggerated expression on her face...... Subtle.
Fortunately, a security guard suddenly rushed out and hugged Gracie. Will asked, looking at Gracie, who was still kicking and kicking after being caught
"She's coming for you, do you know her?" Brooklyn nodded, and Dan Lis, behind him, spoke
"That's Ms. Gracie Pamela, the judge here."
"She's Gracie?" Will looked at Gracie, who was crushed to the ground, who was already handcuffed by this time, but still dishonest, struggling and spitting on Brooklyn's side, yelling that Brooklyn was a liar, a bastard, and she even shouted that Brooklyn forcibly invited her to play cards.
Brooklyn also glanced at Gracie, then shrugged
"My fiancée is a prosecutor. Actually, I've only remembered her for a short time, you know Will, I mentioned it to you on the phone. Will ignored Brooklyn and waved at the photographer to follow him, then led the photographer to Gracie Pamela and pulled out his press card to identify himself.
The security guards who controlled Gracie looked at Brooklyn. Brooklyn nodded, and walked up, standing a little farther away.
Security personnel took control of Gracie and allowed Will to interview him. At this time, there were people coming and going on the first floor, and the movement here had attracted a lot of people, and after seeing the A sign, many media reporters who had packed up the machine and were ready to go home also turned on the machine and surrounded it.
As I got closer, I heard Will McEvoen ask a powerful question.
"Hello, Ms. Gracie Pamela, you claim that Brooklyn Lee compulsorily invited you to play cards, do you have any other evidence?" Many people's eyes are on Brooklyn.
Brooklyn kept a proper smile and looked at Gracie Pamela. It wasn't a lie that he asked Frank to bring it, and they did prepare a press conference.
It's just that the way the press conference opened was different from what Gracie had imagined. If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain.
Brooklyn kept releasing water, but Gracie couldn't support the wall, and Brooklyn was unwilling to give up such a good 'shortcut', so he simply took matters into his own hands and personally promoted the development of the situation.
Gracie Pamela started by saying the Tao - she was also a judge, and her logical thinking was much stronger than that of ordinary people, but soon she couldn't continue.
If Gracie was dealing with some third-rate tabloid reporters, or unscrupulous media people who were bent on digging up big news, perhaps the reporters would have believed what she said.
But she was facing Will. Will's professional ethics and rigorous personality made him quickly detect the loopholes between Gracie Pamela's words, and then seized on the loopholes, kept asking questions, and finally left Gracie Pamela speechless.
Brooklyn didn't say a word during the whole process, just stood a little further behind Will with Dan Lise, and watched quietly.
