No matter how nauseated Shen Lie was, Gary continued to ask You Xin in court: "Doctor Kirk, do you know the first witness, Gavin Snow?"

"I know," Gary said, "he used to be my patient."

"once?"

"Gavin was sent to the addiction rehabilitation center by his family because of his sexual orientation," You Xin said calmly, "When he first came, he was very rebellious and did not obey the discipline of the addiction rehabilitation center, which hurt people like us. The hearts of those who cared about him and his parents."

Gary continued to ask: "Although I'm not a professional, I think every qualified addiction recovery center has its own system. For example, do people who don't follow the rules or make mistakes need to be punished?"

"Of course, otherwise, how can we talk about quitting addiction?" You Xin said slowly, "Addiction is very, very difficult to get rid of. If it is not assisted by some strong punishment methods, it will not be effective if it is just persuasion. Since we have received money from our parents, we will definitely try our best to do our best."

"So electroshock therapy is a form of punishment?"

"Not entirely. The reason why electroshock therapy is therapy is because it does have efficacy." You Xin's tone was very convincing. Coupled with his amiable appearance, it was easy to arouse the favor of the jury. Advantages, "Electric shock therapy, professionally speaking, is non-convulsion electroconvulsive therapy, also known as improved electroconvulsive therapy and non-convulsive electroconvulsive therapy. Stimulating the brain, causing the patient to lose consciousness, so as to achieve a method of treating mental illness without convulsions 【Note 1】It can also be used to treat addiction. It is a very scientific method, although there will be a certain sense of pain in the process, But as long as there is enough anesthesia, there will not be too many problems, and there will be no harm to the human body."

"Then why do you think Gavin decided it was abuse?"

"I guess it's because of the resistance to me and the addiction treatment center, but I won't blame him," You Xin showed a very generous look, "He just doesn't understand these professional knowledge, and he is blind He speculates that his own pain is the fault of others, because he is still young, but he was bewitched and manipulated by adults."

The corners of Shen Lie's mouth twitched as he "confessed" and "manipulated" Gavin.

Gary nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Then do you have any impression of the name Visa Mead?"

"I have an impression," You Xin said, "He is also one of our patients here. I am also very sorry that he passed away, and I deeply sympathize with him."

"According to the prosecution's complaint, they believe that you caused Visa's death," Gary led You Xin's answer step by step, and also guided the jury's thinking, "Is that so?"

You Xin said firmly: "Absolutely not."

"Where were you when Visa fell to his death?"

You Xin is very confident: "I am having dinner with my friends, and they can all prove it."

Gary summed it up: "So when Visa fell, you didn't push him down the stairs, you weren't even there, right?"

"Of course, exactly."

Gary turned to the jury and smiled meaningfully: "So where did the so-called homicide come from?"

Shen Lie frowned: "No! Misleading the jury!"

"The objection is valid," said Judge Parker. "Please, jury, disregard the defense counsel's last sentence."

But in fact, how could it be possible to ignore what had been heard.

Gary ended the inquiry contentedly: "There is no other question."

Shen Lie stood up and asked the first question: "Dr. Kirk, according to what you said, the power of the electric shock therapy you used is strictly controlled, right?"

You Xin smiled: "Of course, medicine is rigorous."

Shen Lie walked in front of him: "Then why did Gavin testify that he saw with his own eyes that you used electricity on these children far exceeding the amount prescribed by law?"

"Well, we all know, children, they don't understand anything," You Xin said, "What's more, those who come to me are more or less mentally ill. They yearn for attention and be the focus. For this It is normal for them to say whatever they say.”

Shen Lie raised his eyebrows slightly: "So you mean to say that Gavin is lying?"

You Xin nodded: "You can understand it that way."

"Okay, the second question." Shen Lie didn't make things difficult for him right away, but continued to ask, "Dr. Ning testified that when he first went to your addiction rehabilitation center, he also saw with his own eyes that the electric shock had been far away. Far beyond the scope required by the law, how can you explain this?"

"Prosecutor, if this is true," You Xin put back his smile, "If this kind of behavior exists in my addiction rehabilitation center, I can bear the responsibility for poor supervision, but I have not personally operated it —and, I'm talking about if it's true."

"Your implication is," Shen Lie smiled, "Doctor Ning is also lying, right?"

You Xin shrugged: "When he testified before, my lawyer has asked about it."

"So let me sum it up." Shen Lie's voice was full of sarcasm, "Gavin lied because he was too young and ignorant to blame you so he held a grudge; Dr. Ning lied because he was jealous of you when he walked with you achievement," he shrugged at the jury, "seems like the whole world is against you."

"Objection!" Gary objected and shouted anxiously and angrily.

"I withdraw," Shen Lie said calmly, "The next question, according to the records, Gavin only stayed in the addiction rehabilitation center for three months, while others at least took years as a unit. What is the reason?"

"Objection! It has nothing to do with the case!" Gary stood up and objected.

Shen Lie said to Judge Parker: "Your Excellency, this issue concerns Gavin's authenticity as a witness."

Judge Parker thought for a while: "The objection is invalid. Witnesses please answer the questions."

"Gai Wen's recovery is relatively good," You Xin was taken aback, probably because he didn't expect Shen Lie to ask this question, so the answer was a little vague, "You can go home when it works."

"Is it effective? It's a good recovery?" Shen Lie sneered, "But you just said that Gavin has mental problems."

You Xin was speechless for a while.

Shen Lie turned back and walked to his desk, and took out an evidence bag containing a medical record. He handed the copy to the jury and the original to Judge Parker: "This is Gavin's medical record. Three months after he entered the nursing home, St. Mary's Hospital admitted him because he attempted suicide by slitting his wrists, and Gavin checked out of the rehab center a day later."

After Shen Lie finished speaking, he walked back in front of You Xin, folded his hands on his chest with a cold expression: "Then please answer me again now, the real reason why Gavin left the addiction treatment center."

[Note 1] Introduction to the definition of electric shock therapy: from Baidu Encyclopedia.

[Note 2] I searched a lot of information about how much current should be in the range of milliamps for electric shock therapy. Baidu Encyclopedia wrote 90-130 milliamperes, while another documentary said it should not exceed 5 milliamperes , I am not very clear, first calculate by 5mA, I will continue to search for information here, and will modify it if it is confirmed.Friends who know this are also welcome to teach me~
