First-Class Lawyer

As long as it is not unreasonable, most people are easy to be persuaded.

Although Gu Yan's words were not long, and he didn't deliberately exaggerate his emotions, at least some people listened to them and followed suit.

After a round of opening statements, the emotions in the court incited by Gunter's lawyer have calmed down, and they are even more rational than before the trial.

This does not mean that prejudice is completely eliminated, but it does not meet the wishes of the prosecution.

"This Gunter, I have dealt with him before." In the area where the first-level lawyers sat, a boss commented in a low voice, "His defense skills are not very high, but he is very emotional. This makes him He is almost invincible in some fields. This case is very suitable for him, because there are emotions that can be stirred up. If he catches the rhythm at the beginning, it will be very troublesome later. The defense lawyer just stirred him up The fire splash is small, I bet he will come again in the next round."

Sure enough, Gunter took a path of wanting to promote before suppressing.

He first released a few irrelevant pieces of evidence. These pieces of evidence have a common feature—marginalization, which cannot directly explain that the defendant has violated the victim, but it is indeed irrefutable.

So after the evidence was released, every time the defense lawyer spoke, Dean still talked a few words, and a nonsense person like Gu Yan always threw out "I have no problem" and passed.

This kind of questioning rhythm will instill a sense in people-the evidence on the prosecution's side is very hard and very confident.You see, from the beginning to the present, after several rounds of evidence, the defense lawyer has nothing to say.

As a result, there were buzzing discussions in the auditorium again.

Even Dean couldn't help but look at Gu Yan several times, whether he wanted to thank him for giving up the stage to his own performance, or begged him to open his mouth.

Otherwise, the rhythm will be overwhelmed by the prosecution, and they will still argue.

Gunter saw that the timing was almost up, and threw out a video while it was hot.

This video was shot very early, and it was shown at 10:12 pm on October 9. The shooting location was on the west side of the Emerald Valley in the northern hemisphere of Helan Star, and the focus was on the abandoned warehouse there.

This is one of the scenes of the bobblehead case. There were 23 victims in this warehouse, and they were arrested and locked up there in mid-to-late September.

Their accident was considered early, but because the location was too remote, they were the last to be discovered, and they were successfully rescued after nearly a month.

This video is the rescue process filmed by the police station.

Both Gu Yan on the defense bench and Yan Suizhi on the hearing bench have watched the complete video content.

When those old people were released from their cages, their expressions were distressingly dazed, as if they had been in the dark for so long that they didn't know what happened.

They didn't know whether the people who came were good or bad, they just retreated instinctively, hiding around in a disorderly manner, and even pushed and kicked the rescuers.

After finally putting them on the stretcher, they suddenly fell silent again, curling themselves up into a small ball, holding their heads in their arms.This may be the only position in which they can protect themselves.

When watching this video, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan felt very uncomfortable. I believe anyone who saw the video would feel the same.

It is obvious why Gunter chose to show this video in court at this moment.

As the first-tier lawyer said, he was very good at it, and he really liked to stir up emotions.

But at the same time, his move was a little risky.

Because the probative power of this video is a bit weak.That is to say, it is not considered evidence in the case, and cannot prove the authenticity of a certain action of the defendant, but a very straightforward post-event record.

The reason Gunter wanted to play this video was because he was sure that Gu Yan would not stop it.

He knew that Gu Yan was on the public list of first-class lawyers, and he was being plagued by some messy reports recently.To put it bluntly, what Gu Yan urgently needs to prove now is not his own defense ability, but to increase the public's favorability.

Therefore, Gunter is sure that Gu Yan will not do anything against the sentiment of the public during this trial.

Will Gu Yan stop him from showing such a video that conforms to the psychological tendency of the public?

impossible.

Maybe in the subsequent cross-examination, Gu Yan will try his best to regain his position, but in this round, he can only swallow silently, and will never refute anything explicitly.

thought Gaunt.

The video was projected on the large holographic screen, and Gunter waited for a few seconds.

When the shaking camera stabilized and the voice became clear, the old man's laments and whimpers were enough for people to hear, and Gaunt opened his mouth to introduce.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to say a word, Gu Yan suddenly raised his hand in the defense seat as a signal.

The judge looked over.

Gu Yan said calmly: "The emotional content of the video is far greater than the evidentiary content, so we apply for the jury's recusal."

Gaunt: "..."

Hold.

The judge paused, then nodded, "Please leave the jury temporarily."

All the members of the jury left one by one according to the regulations, and entered the avoidance room through the side door.

The suspended video was not allowed to continue until the jury box that decided the trial was empty and no one would be biased by the video to affect their judgment.

After a video speeded up, the judge pondered for a moment, and said to Gu Yan, "I have to admit, you are right."

So the video was taken down, and the jury was invited back to their seats and watched nothing.

Lawyer Gaunt's mouthful of blood filled his chest.

He silently swallowed back the mouthful of blood, and invited an expert witness to come up.

This is an on-site trace inspection expert.

"Os Goro." Gaunt looked at him.

Golo nodded: "It's me."

"The warehouse on the west side of the Emerald Valley, which is the trace inspection at the scene of No. 7 of this case, was it you who did it right?"

"Yes. In fact, I was doing all the initial trace inspections on the site of the plan." After finishing speaking, Golo added cautiously, "The ones that will be added later are not here."

"Okay." Gunter said, "Can you give us a brief description of the scene based on what you saw?"

Golo: "It's dark, humid, and the air circulation is poor. Anyone who is detained in it will easily go crazy after a certain period of time. Of course, I don't mean that the mental problems of the victims in this case are caused by the environment."

Gunter said encouragingly: "We understand, please continue."

"Under that environment, the fungal activity is extremely high, and the wound is prone to infection. Of course, the good thing is that the traces of the perpetrators are also easy to retain. In all the scenes, there are a total of 7 traces belonging to the first defendant Fred Jia, belonging to the second defendant. Defendant No. Horace Ji has traces of ... 115."

Everyone in the court: "..."

Even the judge's face was a little paralyzed.

Lawyer Dean couldn't help but glanced at Gu Yan, thinking that it's a good thing my client isn't this one.

Gu Yan just lowered his eyes and glanced at the information, without any disturbance.

Gunter controlled the rhythm again, and waited for everyone in the court to digest the number before continuing to ask: "What are those traces like, can you describe them?"

"Most are footprints, with a small amount of fiber and skin tissue, and a bloodstain." Golo said: "The number 7 scene left the most, and the defendant's state and behavior at that time can be basically restored based on the footprints."

Lawyer Gunter cooperatively released the restoration map of No. 7 on-site footprints on the holographic screen.

Golo nodded and said, "Thank you. This is the trajectory of the defendant's behavior based on the footprints at the scene. It can be seen that the defendant has almost gone around all the cages on the 7th scene. That state is like... watching the victim the same."

Defense lawyers can raise objections to such subjective guesses.However, both the prosecution lawyer and the trace inspection expert themselves are very familiar with this rule, so they know how to control the situation, and immediately shut up after saying this sentence.

No opportunity to raise objections.

Lawyer Dean's face was a little smelly, but he soon returned to normal.

Because the right to inquire is in his hands.

Dean's purpose was very clear, and he made up his mind to push all problems as much as possible to Horace Ji.

"I don't have many questions, just two," he told Golo.

Golo nodded: "You ask."

"Who do the fibers, skin tissue, and blood you found at the scene belong to?"

Groo said, "Horace Ji."

Dean: "So, who does that arrogant and outrageous footprint recovery map at scene 7, I mean the one around the cage, belong to?"

Groo said, "Horace Ji."

Dean raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "My question is over, thank you."

After speaking, he sat down.

The judge looked at Gu Yan: "You can start asking questions."

Gu Yan turned over a page of information, then raised his head and said to Golo, "I don't have many questions."

Golo was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Gu Yan to say that.He was ready for a wave of questions.

"About the footprints left by my client at the scene, do you have time to judge?"

Golo nodded: "It can be confirmed that it was left on the day of the incident, because it was raining in the area where the No. 7 scene was located during that time period, and the traces left were different."

Gu Yan nodded, "Can it be accurate to the time?"

Just as Golo was about to open his mouth, Gu Yan added: "Just in terms of footprints."

Golo silently closed his mouth, thought for a while and said, "It can be limited to the time when it rains, and the accuracy is less than minutes and seconds."

Gu Yan projected the trace inspection data on the holographic screen so that everyone could see it, and then drew out a line, saying: "The trace inspection results show that the skin tissue and blood stains left by my client at the scene of No. Sudden attack while the victim was unconscious. Is my description accurate?"

Golo nodded: "Almost."

"Then, can I think so—" Gu Yan's voice was cold and rational: "The trace evidence left at the No. 7 scene can only prove one thing, that is, the victim has been violated, and after mental damage At a certain moment, my client, Mr. Horace Season, was on the scene."

Before Golo could answer, Lawyer Gunter couldn't hold himself back and stood up and said, "There are other evidences to prove that Horace Ji was there before."

Gu Yan glanced at him, "Other evidence will be discussed separately, there is no rush. I just need Mr. Golo's answer to what I just said, yes or no."

This is a disguised expression: please shut up.

Gunter's face was not very good-looking, but he had to sit down first because of the judge's gaze.

Golo was silent for a moment, then nodded at Gu Yan and said, "Yes, based on this evidence alone, we can think so."
