First-Class Lawyer

Jim Cumming was stiff and cold from the scalp to the soles of his feet.

He was like a goose whose neck was strangled, with his mouth open, panting for breath, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.Even the pomaded hair was hanging down, giving it a shabby greasy sheen.

The prosecuting attorney Lu, who was sitting on the seat, also had a blank face. He stared at Gu Yan for a while, and then turned his gaze to the witness stand.

He suddenly regretted why he hadn't checked all the details with the witnesses first.Or in other words, when he was in contact with witnesses before the trial, he explained so many precautions, big and small, why didn't he think of this.

The dead silence of the entire courtroom lasted for about four or five seconds before it boiled.

The people in the public gallery finally came to their senses and saw that the witness stand began to discuss, and the voice penetrated into Jim Cumming's ears, but the complete words could not be heard clearly.

His face was flushed, and his cheeks were even a little purple from years of excessive drinking.

"I..." He opened his mouth and looked around wildly, obviously unable to stand up, "But...I..."

Gu Yan waited for a while, but did not wait for more explanations.He didn't seem surprised by this situation, he just threw the paper back on the table, and the electronic page returned to its original position in an instant.

"Unfortunately, I have not been able to hear a reasonable explanation. So, may I doubt your motive?"

He said this very calmly.

In fact, he was very calm during the entire court debate, without impassionedness, without deliberately raising or lowering his tone, and without any inflammatory tone.From the beginning to the end, he has a cold appearance, which matches his slightly cold tone very well.

He could make various analyzes of Jim Cumming's motives, any one of which would be enough to make this man completely collapse on the witness stand.

But there's no need to waste your time.

Just like the truth someone once said-for jurors or other inclined people, it is more effective than any other way to give a lead and let them draw their own conclusions.

People in the gallery already had various speculations, such as Jim Cumming being the murderer, and the purpose of this perjury was to cover up the truth of his murder and blame others for the crime.

Another example is an alcoholic who has been drunk all year round. No one takes him seriously, and always thinks that he is full of boasting and drunken words.Finally, one day, his words suddenly had a sense of existence, so important that they could even determine a person's life. When he stood on the witness stand, everyone would quiet down, focus on him, and listen carefully to every word he said. Character.This salty fish-like difference is enough to give him vanity and satisfaction.

……

The same thoughts that the spectators will have, the jury will also have.

Prosecuting lawyer Lu couldn't help turning his head to look at the jury on the high seat. The ladies and gentlemen were also talking briefly with their heads turned, their faces either serious or disgusted.

Lu silently turned his head again, only to feel that in this trial, his side suddenly wrote "to be finished" in capital letters.

Jim Cumming fell from heaven to hell under countless eyes of suspicion or contempt. This experience of jumping off a building made him overwhelmed, dizzy and almost unable to stand.

It just so happened that at this moment Judge Murray Liu knocked on the gavel with a bang, and said in a deep voice, "Silence!"

When the gavel sounded, Jim Cumming on the witness stand trembled, rolled his eyes and was about to fall over on the spot.

Generally speaking, in the courts in the Decamana area, if there are huge flaws in the testimony of such important witnesses, the defense represented by Gu Yan will propose a direct verdict, which will be accepted in all likelihood and a more ideal result will be obtained. Effect.

However, Judge Murray Liu's butt was still crooked, so the motion to rule was rejected.

He just asked the bailiff to take Jim Cumming out for follow-up questioning, but the trial continued unaffected.

When the old guy was hitting the gavel, Yan Suizhi, who was sitting behind Gu Yan, started to write again unwilling to be lonely.

The former dean of the dignified law school, and a former first-class lawyer, drew a turtle on the page with Erlang's legs up and eyebrows raised...

The brushstrokes are abstract and unrestrained.

No one suffered more than Joshua Dale in the dock.

He felt like a pheasant cub being held by the neck, who was pressed on the cutting board 10 minutes ago, gesticulating with a kitchen knife to chop off his head.Seeing that he was about to die, he was rescued by another person with a knife and narrowly escaped death.

However, as soon as he got down to the ground, he ran two steps with his paws in his hands, and before he could catch his breath, he was caught again.

Once again, he put his head on the chopping block with no love in his life, thinking that life is so fucking fucked up, if he doesn't let him go like this, then he basically has no hope.

This time, he felt that he was in prison from the neck down, and only his head was still dying.

Gu Yan, like Yan Suizhi, was mentally prepared for this situation.

After the direct ruling is rejected, the trial will enter the stage of defense evidence.Gu Yan stood still on the defense seat, reached out and wiped the playback control button, and the huge holographic screen in the courtroom instantly switched content, showing the on-site footprint identification record form submitted by the police trace inspection department.

After applying, the mark prosecutor stood on the witness seat and answered the questions raised by Gu Yan.

"Prosecutor Chen?"

"Yes."

"This footprint identification record form was submitted by you?"

Chen nodded: "Yes."

"The content is very clear." Gu Yan said, "But in order to avoid unnecessary questions, I still need to confirm some details with you."

"Ok, no problem."

"On the third line of page 2 of the record sheet, the overall length of the shoe print is 3 cm, the forefoot is 27.5 cm, the width is 14.5 cm, the bow is 9.3 cm long, 6.3 cm wide, and the heel is 6 cm long and 6.6 cm wide. Estimated traces, the thickness of the heel is about 6 centimeters.”

Gu Yan used the control light to draw a line on the holographic screen so that everyone could find this sentence easily.

"Is there any error in this part of the data?"

Chen shook his head, "No, the footprint information provided to the trace inspection department is very clear and there will be no errors. The only possible error is the thickness of the heel."

"What is the error value?"

"Up and down by 0.05 centimeters." Chen said, and added, "This error value is not enough to affect the analysis results of shoe prints, it is too small."

Gu Yan: "Are you sure there is only this error?"

"Very sure."

Gu Yan nodded.

Prosecution lawyer Lu: "..."

For some reason, Gu Yan nodded, and he began to panic inexplicably.Generally speaking, when the footprints are singled out, the content of the inquiry will mostly focus on the height of the suspect judged based on the footprints.

If you really ask about this point, Lu has nothing to worry about, because there is a margin of error in height, and both the jury and the judge have known this for a long time, so making fuss around this point in court will not cause any problems. No matter what impact, it is difficult to shake.

As a result, the defense lawyer only asked about the heel?

What the hell is this?

Gu Yan calmly wiped the playback controller again, and this time the holographic screen finally showed the new evidence he and Yan Suizhi had collected in the past few days.He picked the first one among the many surveillance videos, that is, the video of the lamb chop shop, and directly pulled the progress bar to the position of 23:7 p.m. on the 55rd.

The entire courtroom looked up as the video showed a man's head appearing in the window of Kitty Bell's house, obscured by moisture.

Gu Yan pressed pause, and then directly implanted the video into the three-dimensional map of the old city.

He adjusted the map to a cross-section mode. On the way, the red dot in the lamb chop shop represented the position of the camera, and the red dot in Kitty Bell's house represented the top of the suspect's head when the crime happened.

"Thanks to modern technology." Gu Yan still had a calm face, "All the distances are marked on the map, I think you can calculate the height of the suspect based on the data on the map. This part of the hair will be exposed under the premise of being covered by these obstacles."

In fact, there is no need to manually calculate it at all. In the map interface, as long as you select that point and press the button lightly, the value will be automatically obtained.

Chen subconsciously reached out and touched the playback control button on the witness stand. The red dot representing the suspect jumped on the screen, and a marked value appeared next to it: "182.3 centimeters, the error value fluctuates by 0.2 centimeters."

Gu Yan lowered his gaze and picked out Joshua Dale's identity information and the registration information of being detained in the detention center.

"My client, Joshua Dale, has a net height of 176 centimeters. This is the measurement value of the detention center." Gu Yan shook the simulation paper and said coolly: "Even with the heel height inferred from the footprint identification table, it is still Far less than 182.3 centimeters."

"Excuse me, is the data of the detention center falsified, or the footprint identification form?"

List:"………………"

What else can he say?He couldn't say anything, and all the words he could think of, such as errors, were all blocked by Gu Yan in the previous inquiry.

The audience once again fell into silence.

Five seconds later, there was an even louder uproar than before.

Joshua, who was covered by the cramped glass, was bored for two seconds, sat up straight, and looked at Gu Yan blankly, unable to believe what he heard.

He wandered in this daze for a long time, and when his heart found its place and his five senses finally regained consciousness, the judge had already knocked on the gavel sullenly, and had no choice but to ask the jury to give a verdict under the impetus of facts and pressure.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, do you have an answer?"

Murray Liu looked at the jury and asked this sentence in a deep voice.

All the eyes of the audience fell on the tall jury box, and Joshua felt that his whole body was frozen. He had never been so nervous in his life, and his whole life would be weighed down by this answer.

The foreman of the jury nodded in the silence, "Yes, we have a decision."

Murray Liu: "Guilty or innocent?"

Holding his breath, the group leader's calm voice sounded in the court, enough for everyone in the court to hear——

"Not guilty."

Released in court.
