Chapter 512, the east is not bright, the west is bright
So far, Brooklyn and Frank have complained about Winston, discussed the events in New York, complained to each other about the heavy workload, and even made a bet.
The two chatted in a good atmosphere. Until now, Brooklyn hadn't even cared about Harrison — the only thing he cared about was whether Harrison was guilty or not, and it was about his gamble with Frank.
Just as Brooklyn saw that the time was almost up and was about to get up to say goodbye, David came in. At first glance, it is necessary to report work.
Brooklyn didn't intend to listen, he nodded at David, stood up and prepared to leave, only to be stopped by Frank.
David sent Harrison's interrogation transcript. Smack - Frank couldn't wait to open it, glanced at it hurriedly, and then slapped it on the table and laughed.
He raised his large, red hand towards Brooklyn.
"Haha! Give the money quickly! David looked at his chief inexplicably, then looked back at Brooklyn, unclear about the situation.
Brooklyn asked, surprised
"Really innocent?"
"Of course!" Frank raised his chin proudly
"I'll just say he's innocent! How can we NYPD people who go out sell D! Brooklyn picked up the record and looked at it carefully, arguing
"It doesn't count. It's just his rhetoric! ”
"You want to play tricks?" Frank asked. Brooklyn argues
"I didn't, but this is just Harrison's rhetoric, shouldn't we show some evidence?"
"It's not in court, do you want me to get a lawyer over?
Frank said with disdainful roll of his eyes. Brooklyn argued to himself
"No, no, no! The Drug Enforcement Administration has arrested a person and seized all the stolen goods, and you can listen to what he says. It doesn't count! The two then argued over $20.
David had a headache when he heard it, he hadn't rested for a long time, and it was Harrison who called him from the Drug Enforcement Administration today, so he came to 'work overtime for free'.
The David Federation interrupted the argument between the two and inquired carefully. Frank and Brooklyn explained the gamble between the two of them word by word, and then looked at David together.
"Harrison has offended people, he has been framed." David said
"I confirmed with the Drug Enforcement Administration that the D product found in his car has nothing to do with him."
"The Director should know that, too." Frank snorted. Brooklyn suddenly realized
"Frank, you're cheating!"
"I didn't, you didn't ask!" The two of them were like children, and they quarreled again. Eventually, Brooklyn paid the $20 gamble and watched with an unhappy look at Frank with the $20 on his face.
"David, inform everyone in the police department, and the generous Brooklyn judge invites everyone to have coffee!"
"$20 is just enough for us." Brooklyn quipped
"Invite everybody to coffee, you'll have to put in a few hundred extra dollars."
"I'd love to!" Frank held his head high, showing off. Brooklyn has nothing to say.
"Also, I'm asking someone from NYPD, Judge Brooklyn, and you don't seem to be our police officer, so, I'm sorry, the free coffee in the afternoon didn't have yours. Want to drink? You'll have to spend your own money. ”
"By the way, for the sake of our friendship, I can treat Bob to a cup of coffee."
"Your coffee is poison, and the dogs don't drink it." Brooklyn continued to be sarcastic, making a retching gesture in passing.
The two giggled and laughed for a while, seeing that it was approaching noon and it was time for lunch, they went out to eat together.
After eating, Brooklyn was about to say goodbye, but David suddenly said
"Blue, haven't you been looking for a bodyguard? Try Harrison. Brooklyn looked at Frank and asked with a frown, seeing that Frank was also nodding
"Who did he offend?"
"I don't know, he won't say." David shook his head
"But the Drug Enforcement Administration is investigating, and it should be a D dealer." Brooklyn pondered and asked about Harrison's abilities, and David and Frank were full of praise and praise.
Although they all said that this was an objective evaluation, Brooklyn looked at the two of them and always felt that this objective evaluation was not so objective.
David didn't think too much, but he just happened to meet it, and when he remembered it, he mentioned it, but Frank thought about it a lot, he said
"Harrison is in trouble, judging from the intelligence from the Drug Enforcement Administration, this trouble is not small for him, half of the D traffickers can't get that many D products, and this is just to blame him." Brooklyn nodded.
Frank's implication is that although Harrison has a family and a business, he is now in trouble, and if Brooklyn really wants Harrison as a bodyguard, he can help solve the trouble, so that his relationship with Harrison is not as simple as an employment relationship.
Coupled with the grace that followed, Harrison easily became a reliable confidant. Brooklyn's identity has been qualitatively improved, but the people around him are not enough to match his identity, and the number of reliable henchmen is too small.
At present, there are only a few people such as Bob and Michael, and Michael is still far away in the corner of the world that he doesn't know, and he can't come back for the time being.
Originally, Ray was barely enough by his side, but now Ray is gone. The people around him were suddenly stretched thin.
Frank and Winston are in some ways better prepared than Brooklyn is preparing for the amenities they need to move up the ladder.
Winston went from being an ordinary Republican to being the governor of a state, and Frank was going from a patrolman all the way to the NYPD's boss, and they all had similar experiences.
Brooklyn was the only one who didn't. They know exactly what Brooklyn needs right now, and as the most reliable ally, they're happy to help Brooklyn without involving shrouded in.
From this matter, it is also possible to distinguish what is a truly reliable ally and what is a seemingly detached ally.
The military and Brooklyn are also cooperating, and they are also 'helping' when they know what Brooklyn needs, but their help is directly to the Brooklyn Cypriots to get an Eric Elvis out.
Frank and Winston also knew what Brooklyn needed, but they always chose to watch silently and not interfere.
It wasn't until now, after David, a Brooklyn 'relative', opened his mouth that Frank mentioned it slightly, and that's it.
Winston was even more silent throughout the whole process, busy inspecting the school, pretending not to know. Brooklyn is indeed short of people, but what he lacks is henchmen, a team, and he needs to dig one by one, not supermarket purchases, anyone can shoehorn here.
He's not Benfica, and he doesn't do black business. [1] David's endorsement of Frank led Brooklyn to become interested in Harrison.
Frank then said that Brooklyn could think about it first, and they also needed to work with the Drug Enforcement Administration to track down the source of the D products used to frame Harrison, and maybe they could dig up who Harrison had offended.
With that said, the three went their separate ways — Bob had left as early as they were arguing with Harrison's interrogation transcript in Frank's office.
Bob isn't as idle as they are. Even if he's idle, it's better to accompany a girl on a dating app than to accompany two big men.
And so the feast passed tepidly. The next day, Friday. After Brooklyn completed his daily KPIs, he hurriedly left the inner court.
Today is the day when Anne's Harold Eucalyptus wraps up. After a month of defense, Anne was incredibly defeated.
Harvey uses the fate of Harold's daughter and her family to give a tragic color to the process of making eucalyptus, and depicts the whole process of making eucalyptus as a cool story of the prince's revenge.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold were humiliated by their daughter, but the evildoers escaped justice, and they were proud and endured the humiliation, silently accumulating strength to avenge their daughter.
For the sake of their daughters, they are willing to become executioners and go to hell! In order for the evildoers to be punished, they are willing to take up butcher knives!
Including Hal Makas. In Harvey's 'Revenge', Hal is like a knight in the embodiment of justice.
Harvey used clever language to fan the emotions of the jury, bringing them into Hal's identity, incarnating as a righteous man who witnessed the tragedy.
Harvey freely admitted the guilt of his client, insisted that their culpability was extenuating, and asked for leniency.
Harvey grasped the weakness of the Federalists, or the weakness of human nature, and scratched the itch of the Federalists, or human nature.
The federation does not have the saying of 'repaying grievances with virtue', nor does it say that 'it is time to repay grievances', and the people of the federation pursue the concept of 'complaining with integrity'.
If someone hits you, you're going to fight back. This is your right under the Constitution! What the Harolds did fits this point of view well.
The Federalists also practiced 'heroism', and Hal played such a role in Ben Eucalyptus. He is like a knight, upholding the belief of a knight, standing up like a hero, helping the weak and completing revenge.
Preside over righteousness. Coupled with the entanglements between the victims, the story is a hodgepodge of juvenile crimes, possible unfair government rulings, conspiracy theories, revengeful plots, parental calf licking, heroism, chivalry, and ...... It's a realistic version of opera.
The legal principles that Anne insisted on were like a flat boat in stormy seas in the face of reason, stormy and stormy, and could capsize at any time.
The jury has been completely led astray by Harvey, and it is impossible to calm down and think rationally. They put themselves into the role of Mr. and Mrs. Harold, into the role of Hal, and they only felt that their lungs were going to explode!
They didn't applaud, they can already be regarded as self-contained! The judgment of the law began to be coerced and turned into a moral judgment.
Anne was arguing about the jurisprudence, arguing that justice should be done in the right way, by lawful means, while Harvey and the jury were talking about something else, and the two sides were completely at odds with each other.
Harvey didn't confront Anne at all. Brooklyn shook her head. This kind of scene, if he comes, it is for nothing, and if he comes, it is for nothing.
Xavi is simply an atmosphere expert, too emotional. At this time, it doesn't really matter what the judge thinks.
Public opinion has made a choice – public opinion that Mr. Harold and Hal are innocent, just, and deserve to be commended.
Then the judge must do the same to make a ruling. Because this is procedural justice, visible justice, and justice that conforms to the public's simple view of right and wrong and can be accepted by the public.
And the premise of procedural justice - correct and fair - the public will not think that it is right and fair to let Harold and Hal pay for their lives.
It would be a disaster if the judge did rule that. The focus of the controversy in this case has been well removed from the specific circumstances and raised to the definition of procedural justice.
When justice and fairness recognized by the public are inconsistent or even opposed to justice and fairness stipulated by law, what is true justice and fairness?
Brooklyn doesn't have the pride to think that what Anne insisted on was right. As a judge, a judge who has systematically studied the law, seen and endured a great deal of it, Brooklyn knows that law is not a mathematical axiom, it is not a law of nature, it is never constant and absolute.
The law flows with the public's moral concept and perception of justice, fairness, and correctness. When one day the world's view of right and wrong thinks that smoking D is the same as breathing, holding a gun is the same natural law as long hair, killing people is just a trivial matter, and if you have a vengeance, you should report it on the spot, whoever kills you will kill whoever is right, and whoever offends you will kill whoever is right, the law will also change - killing will not be a big crime, you may only need to pay a fine of ten dollars, whoever does not smoke D will be arrested, forced to smoke D, and whoever does not know how to use a gun will be sent to the training camp and locked up until they learn to use a gun, The government may even distribute guns for free, and anyone who does not have revenge on the spot may be arrested by the police and sentenced to a crime of 'not retaliating'.
It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. The law is always fluid, not static. Nowadays, most people think that it is illegal to smoke D products, but in the eyes of some people, it is not illegal, and even if you count up to one or two hundred years, it is still legal to smoke Y tablets in the East.
In the eyes of modern Orientals, of course, smoking Y pills is illegal, but in the environment one or two hundred years ago, people thought it was not a big deal, just like the attitude of modern people towards smoking - smoking Y pills was smoking for people at that time - can you say that smoking is illegal and criminal now?
You suck another y-movie now! Perhaps in the eyes of modern people, the laws of that era were wrong, full of loopholes, and did not conform to the 'law', but the laws of that time were made for the people of that time and the society at that time, not for the present.
Brooklyn understands this, so he is even a little glad that Harold Eucalyptus did not fall into his hands - not because of Annie's relationship to avoid suspicion, but because it is really difficult to meet Harvey, a little expert in hyping up the atmosphere and emotions.
Brooklyn argues that the Harolds and Hal have an extenuating affair with him, but the jury and the public don't see it that way.
Brooklyn tries to take on the role of a judge and finds it difficult to make a decision as well. According to the current situation, it only takes ten minutes for the jury to reach a verdict - Harold and Hal are not guilty!
Even if they kill someone, even if they kill people with premeditation and strategy, there are extenuating circumstances! In the clear!
