First-Class Lawyer

Prosecution lawyer Alan Gunter stood up, nodded to the judge and jury, but skipped the defense bench.

Generally speaking, at the beginning of a trial, the confrontation is often not very strong, and the prosecution and defense will maintain basic etiquette to show their demeanor.

But this time it was different. Lawyer Gunter showed a subtle hostility and contempt before he spoke.

This is actually a behavior that is easily criticized, but there is no such concern in the case of the bobblehead.Because at the beginning of the trial, all the people who heard the trial naturally sided with him.

"Regarding this case, I believe that everyone present is familiar with it. You may have seen some of the content countless times in various reports, but I still need to repeat part of it today."

Gunter said: "In the year 1256 of the Irma calendar, that is, on the evening of October 10 this year, one of the victims in this case, Mr. Mike Auden, was fishing in the northeast suburb of Hongshixing Se Lake. There are few people passing by, and old Mr. Mike Alden has no heirs and is currently living alone. This meets all the requirements of the defendant in this case for the murder target, so the defendant used the simplicity and trust of an old man to lure him to On the driveway outside the forest, he was stunned with the relatively easy-to-obtain RK-type ether medicine, stuffed into the car, and taken to the No. 3 medium-sized warehouse in the Black Rock District..."

"...In view of the inspection results of various traces at the scene, the cage used to imprison Mr. Mike Alden had been transported to the warehouse a few days ago, and there were other unused cages in the warehouse. The same The situation is applicable to other scenes in this case. We have reasons to believe that perhaps the target of the implementation is not specific, but the defendant's behavior was premeditated."

It was perhaps the longest opening statement yet, but not a single person showed any sign of impatience.

Whether it's the judge, the jury, or the people who apply for a hearing, and more people who are following the live broadcast...

Even defense attorneys.

"...This case is actually very difficult. The victims have varying degrees of mental damage, so that they cannot express the facts clearly. From a legal point of view, they cannot even tell the public what they have experienced. Fortunately, we have the scene in our hands. The investigation certificate, witness testimony, and the defendant's personal statement, and look forward to restoring the truth."

Lawyer Gunter glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "From the incident to the present, in such a long period of time, all the people in the reports mentioned this case and the victim, and they all mentioned the name 'shaker'. , I think...including the defense lawyers are no exception?"

He cast his eyes on the defense seat, swept over Dean, the defense lawyer for the first defendant, and finally landed on Gu Yan, and then said slowly: "But I hope you all realize one thing, the name bobblehead will kill all victims. People are generally summarized together, and there is even a psychological guiding force, which makes people subconsciously feel that there is only one victim, that is, the guy called the Shaker, three words, simply finished .”

"But unfortunately, no."

"I have to formally emphasize at the beginning today that behind the three words bobbleheads are 320 seven old people. Although some of them live alone and some are wandering, each of them has their own name and is a living and complete person. An independent individual is not a bobblehead that can be introduced in three words, and I hope that... just today, right here, your honor, the jury, and everyone present or not present, can give them justice. .”

The whole place was silent.

Lawyer Gunter stood silently for a moment after finishing speaking, then nodded with lowered eyes, and sat down in his seat.

After a few more seconds, the buzzing discussion in the hearing room sounded, and even a few emotional observers clapped their hands a few times.

But soon they realized that the occasion was wrong and took their hands back.

In the hearing seat, Milo Manson glanced back at those who applauded, then glanced at the others, and whispered to his brother Brewer Manson next to him: "I have never liked the Public Prosecutor's Office so much. The barrister dispatched."

Brewer Manson didn't look back, and only moved his lips: "Sit down and listen to your trial."

"Why so tense?" Milo snorted, but sat back.

"I just don't think it's necessary to look around and sigh." Brewer Manson didn't look sideways. "After all, we are just listening to a trial that has nothing to do with interests."

Civic and empathy?

Irrelevant interests?

Milo Manson narrowed his eyes and seemed to want to laugh.But due to the occasion, all emotions only stayed at the corners of his mouth.

Just when he looked back from elsewhere, his eyes met another person not far away.

That's DeVoe Ewes.

"The old fox of Ivy is watching us." Milo squeezed a few words from his lips.

Brewer Manson still said, "Sit down."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked over.

DeVo Everth's gray-blue eyes were hidden behind the glasses, and he had the style of an old gentleman as always.He nodded and smiled at the Manson brothers, like an ordinary elder.

Brewer Manson nodded at him too.

When the dark tide was raging on this side, nearly twenty first-level lawyers on the alliance badge wall came in the second row in the middle of the hearing area and sat in two rows.

These bigwigs look at the trial from a different angle than others. Apart from the case itself, they can clearly discover the lawyer's ability and skills from every speech.

"This Lawyer Gunter knows the rhythm of speech very well." A certain tycoon surnamed Parvin said to Yan Suizhi beside him, "When does the speech speed need to be faster, when should it be slower, and when should the pitch be higher? , when it is lower, even the pause is handled very well.”

"En." Yan Suizhi rested his chin on his crooked fingers, his eyes still fixed on the front.After a while, he said: "It's a good speech. I was very moved when I heard it."

Palvin: "..."

"What?" Yan Suizhi condescended to withdraw his gaze from the trial area, and glanced at his colleague, "Is there something wrong with my words?"

"Isn't that student on the defense bench your student?" Palvin said, "To be honest, today's court trial has attracted unprecedented attention. We are still sitting here. Don't you feel nervous for the student?"

Yan Suizhi said "Oh", and said with a smile: "Who invited you here?"

Palvin: "..."

He opened his mouth, and wanted to say something again, when Yan Suizhi put his index finger to his lips, motioning for him to keep silent.

"Don't pull me to discuss Gu Yan, after all, I'm the one who needs to avoid the vote of first-level lawyers." Yan Suizhi said with the corner of his mouth curled up.

Parvin opened his mouth again.

Yan Suizhi didn't let go of his upright fingers, and said softly, "Also, don't disturb me watching the students."

Palvin: "..."

He no longer wants to open his mouth.

In the courtroom, defendant No. [-], Fred Jia, was sitting in a glass-covered seat, different from the image in the previous report. At this time, he was very law-abiding, with his head bowed, showing a sad and repentant look.

Even from this angle, you can see the dark circles under his eyes that fell to his mouth, looking haggard and tired.

His defense attorney, Dean, was making an opening statement, and he didn't mention much about the substantive rebuttals. After all, these are not suitable for throwing out at the beginning.

Dean stated simply and concisely that Fred Jaa was by no means the principal culprit in this case.

"As a practitioner in the medical industry, like many of his peers, he has always maintained a sense of reverence for life. My client may have said some unflattering remarks before, and those remarks were reprocessed by some media , reported it, which caused a lot of controversy and accusations. But I implore you to think about it from another angle, it is actually an instinctive self-defense. I believe anyone can understand that when a person is accused of crimes that do not belong to him for no reason Sometimes, there will always be times when he doesn't choose what to say, but this can explain his grievances from the side, doesn't it?"

"...Anyone with empathy will feel sad for the victims of this case." Dean pointed to the No. [-] dock and said, "My client is the same, I believe you have a clear mind and see it very clearly. "

There is also a subtext in this statement, which is: You see, compared to my client, the other defendant, Horace Ji, is a typical lack of empathy. He doesn't even have sadness or repentance.

Obviously, this subtext was accepted by most people.Many people in the hearing booth first looked at the No. [-] dock, then at the No. [-] dock, and then showed expressions of disgust.

At the same time, this feeling of repulsion will be carried over to defense lawyers.

·

In court, only facts are spoken, not friendship.

What's more, although both belong to the Southern Cross law firm, each barrister and the law firm are only in a cooperative relationship and are independent of each other.Gu Yan and Dean had no friendship at all.

When there is more than one defendant in a case, it is inevitable that there will be mutual prevarication.

Not just the defendants themselves, but defense attorneys as well.

Some lawyers try to weaken their own client's guilt by constantly emphasizing the viciousness of other defendants. This is also a tactic that some lawyers like to use.

But Gu Yan didn't like it.

After Dean finished speaking, the judge nodded in Gu Yan's direction again, "Lawyer Gu, you can start your statement."

Hearing this sentence, the Manson brothers in the hearing seat subconsciously leaned forward.

It wasn't that they were nervous or worried, but in their impression, Gu Yan had the same problem as the dean of the law school, that is, the opening statement would never follow common sense.

You just talk about your client, talk about the case, and talk about your argument, isn't it good?

Not at all.

So when it was Gu Yan's turn to speak, even Brewer Manson couldn't help pricking up his ears.

Gu Yan nodded, stood up, and said calmly:

"I would like to remind you that the highest criminal code of the Union stipulates that as long as there are flaws in the evidence, the defendant cannot be 320% sure that he is guilty, and the possibility of the defendant being wronged cannot be completely ruled out. This is the meaning of the existence of defense lawyers. Clear up all preconceived judgments and re-understand this case. Because only by making the real criminal plead guilty and put to death, can the seven victims of [-] be justified."
