Chapter 312 A society governed by the rule of law
The defense lawyer was sweating profusely, and he had little political sensitivity.
Such a big case, his peers didn't dare to take it, but he dared.
If you want to say that he is incompetent, he is not incapable, but Matt's lawyer is not inferior to him.
The two had a war of words, and his attempts to provoke the witness's emotions to lose control all failed, and they were all stopped by Matt!
And Matt's every reply is almost according to his rhetoric, if he were an Oriental, he would probably exclaim:
Are you the king of kings!
But he can't lose!
Blocking the mind of wanting to be famous and rich, this trial, he must win!
Defense lawyer: "I heard the witness mention a soldier named Edward Drovern, but he was not at the scene"
Matt: "Mr. Derogan has died in a shooting, and here in fact my witnesses also want to charge senior NSA officials."
βNSAοΌβ The defense lawyer scratched his scalp and frantically rummaged through the materials, but there was nothing at all!
"How can this still have anything to do with the NSA"
Lieberman raised his hand: "Because I'm a former NSA staffer, an analyst, and if you look through the news, you can still find the news that I died in a 'shooting' last year." β
"But."
"No, however, this actually explains the context in which my plaintiff was attacked."
The CIA has almost no law enforcement power in the country, and is completely crushed by other intelligence agencies -
But if the NSA, the NSA intervenes completely justified!
Lieberman again presented surprising evidence in court that showed that he had obtained images from Mr. Garner a year earlier and had told his superiors that he could investigate.
But his boss said that the matter was not allowed to be investigated again, so he secretly sent the image to a newspaper
The day after he did this, he was shot dead by a team of agents in the park!
The reason for the killing: leaking state secrets!
The astute Lieberman, who was wearing body armor at the time, jumped into the river in the park before being pierced by a bullet, narrowly escaped, and waited for an opportunity for so many years-
Opportunities like today.
And Lieberman's additional revelations complicate the case again: the NSA did it, too!
The defense attorney looked confused, but it was clear that his accuser, Rollins, knew about it, and he knew what was going to happen next.
Frank has carried out several missions in exoskeletons these days, and he has not only saved Lieberman and Garner, but also those who are still alive and related to this case!
The newspaper reporters, editors at the time, came out in one go, and everyone testified to the truth of the events.
Frank's additional witnesses caught the opposing lawyer a little off guard, and this point had completely interrupted his rhythm
He looked at Rollins, who now only had one last card, though the timing and foreshadowing were a bit poor.
But that's all there is to it.
"Wait a minute. Yes, the truth of the whole thing may be unquestionable, but that doesn't mean that the mysterious commander is my accuser. β
Lille raised an eyebrow - the evidence is conclusive and you still want to talk nonsense?
Everyone tacitly assumed that the matter was real, and as a result, you said: The murder exists, and the process is fine, but the murderer is not my accuser!
And this dialectic?
Cow.
The defense lawyer wiped his sweat: "There are also witnesses on the scene who can prove that your description of the mysterious commander does not match Mr. Rollins." β
Garner, who was in the plaintiff's seat, looked at Frank in disbelief, and the latter looked at the defense in disbelief -
The Cerberus squad is still alive now, except for him, Ghana, there is only one left!
His best brother, almost a good brother of his other relative!
He was reluctant to go to court, and Frank understood - because Billy now owned a private military contracting company and was the best mixed among his brothers.
But how can Billy be on his opposite?
"My witness: Billy Russell."
The defense attorney pronounced the familiar name of Frank, and Billy's delicate face appeared in Frank's mind.
But no one walked out of the witness tunnel.
The courtroom was silent, and both the defense attorney and Rollins were a little confused, but soon, the door openedβ
What walked out was a man in a suit and leather shoes, hurrying to the dock.
This man's face doesn't match the one in Frank's heart at all!
He was lucky, and he turned to rage: these damn agents, planning to find someone to pretend to be his brother?
Then in the next second, he saw that the defense lawyer's face turned white, and Rollins was even weaker, holding on to the handrail, and almost didn't fall.
Lille immediately hacked into a nearby camera and found out what was going on.
There is indeed such a mysterious witness, but he has slipped away just now.
Bang bang.
The judge struck the hammer: "What about the witnesses?" β
"It's gone."
This guy named Billy is so skilled that he unknowingly puts down the bailiff, changes his clothes and slips away
"I want to apply for an adjournment."
Bang!
The judge frowned, banged the gavel, and no longer intended to give Rollins, the clown, more pictures.
The context of the incident is so clear, he is already inclined to believe the plaintiff's story-
As for why the witness slipped away?
The judge judged that it did not matter to the truth.
Because the truth has been revealed.
"In the course of hearing this case, the Chamber has carefully considered all the evidence and heard the statements of lawyers and witnesses on both sides.
According to the evidence before the Tribunal, the defendant William Rawlings not only violated the law, but also betrayed society's trust and expectations of his duties.
The damage to society caused by such acts is far-reaching and irreversible.
The final verdict was β guilty. β
Bang.
The hammer struck down as if to break Rawlings' backbone, and the intelligence officer, who had done everything for promotion and political future, fell to his knees at once.
But no one will sympathize with him:
He lost only his political life, but more people, because of him, lost their lives.
The victory inspired all those who watched the case via webcast, and the nature of the incident was truly sealed.
The Supreme Court's trial of the C.I.A.'s deputy director and the further expansion of judicial interpretation have also led to a re-examination of the war that has been going on for years
Maybe at first, they were there to fight back against the terrorists, but now?
They can even begin to reflect on what happened before the war began, and to think about the causes of terrorist attacks
But in any case, at the most intuitive level, the spirit of the constitution has once again been explained - the rule of law, has not yet become a joke.
Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to realize the doorways here, but whoever defeats the powerful lord is a good thing.
If it's a law, it's a good law, and if it's a person, it's a good person.
Lille watched this scene, and no matter what kind of outlaw fanatic he was inside, he had to admit one thing:
It is because of the rules that human beings can gradually form a stable society and create miracles in the universe.
This is not Night City, and fighting and killing has never been the goal.
[Done?] γ
[Hydra: That's it.] γ
The final footage of the trial is shown on the screen, with a young man lying on a couch and lazily holding a wine glass.
Looking at the people cheering and congratulating the trial, the images flashed one by one, and finally froze on Lille's face.
"It's kind of interesting. Alas, as I said earlier, it's not possible to think of simple and crude methods, a bunch of brainless idiots. β
In front of him, there is a tablet, but in reality, this thing is a secure communication device that uses satellite signals to communicate directly.
More words appear on the screen:
[Hydra: Who's next?] γ
[Rich Man: Next. There's a brain-dead guy at the FTC who sent a message that he's coming by plane tomorrow. γ
[Hydra: With all due respect, this is another small character, and the Trampler is not doing such a trivial matter. γ
[Rich man: Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, I'll give you money, and you will work honestly! γ
[Rich man: You haven't suffered enough losses? Why, apart from Dr. Zola, are all brain-dead and can't understand people? γ
The power of money revealed in the text made Hydra on the other side of the screen have to admit it.
The man's mood seemed to change a little quickly, and after scolding the Hydra, he returned to normal.
Looking at the screen as he constantly pumped out ideas to the media, Lille said to himself: "The world is full of individualistic fools.
But this one doesn't seem to be the same. β
[Message from the Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission: Dear Mr. Dario Ager, today we have received a report on nuclear energy research from International Genetic Cooperation, Inc.. γ
[Stuck, just find a reason to hang up.] γ
[Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission: We know, I wish you a happy job. γ
"Atomic energy?" The man known as Dario raised his eyebrows, "Multi-line operation?" I've got something to do for you. β
To deal with such an enemy is to use the huge resources at his disposal, step by step, to crush all his hopes.
[Tony, the drone armor you sent me last time was very interesting, I want to discuss it further with you. γ
After sending the message, Dario walked to the balcony -
A lifelike Greek mythological monster "Minotaurs" stands in the center of the courtyard, and if you look at it from a distance, this statue looks like a real monster.
He looked up, and the setting sun shone on his naked body, and as far as the eye could see, it was a perfect green landscape that could not be seen at all.
The soft grass and the dense trees, each tree has been carefully selected in its location, and these trees that can cost tens of thousands of dollars stand in the endless green space, and together with the sunset, they show him a beauty rarely seen in this world.
Such a beautiful scenery appeared in the courtyard of his house, and every inch of these beautiful scenery was his personal property.
"The Triumph of the Rule of Law?" He scoffed.
"It's not that the constitution can't be changed."
