Edward "Okay, then Mr. Hines, since you have expressed your right to the plea agreement more than once when you coordinated the parties to sign a plea agreement, the sentencing was too light, which caused concerns about the public opinion tsunami. Then this seems to be inconsistent with what you said in the court before, "You did not consider issues such as the sentencing too light before Judge Frankel's judgment. What is your explanation for this?"

Ruthberg had not had time to teach Edward this little trick, but he asked Kamazepine for advice and was usually figured out.

The core of cross-examination in court is to use the sufficient evidence you have in your hands and cooperate with skillful questions to put the other party in a dilemma of logical contradiction.

Technology is important, but this thing has a lot to do with IQ. Smart people have more advantages when their brains turn quickly.

Coincidentally, Edward is very smart; in comparison, Hines's IQ matching is very insufficient.

Moreover, the latter was ulterior motive and soon became defeated.

Edward stopped chasing and looked up at the judge with his big eyes again, which made the latter a little annoyed. It was not targeting Edward, but felt that Hines really didn't know how to do things, and he didn't count on his own good deeds and showed his ugly appearance, and he also dragged everyone else into the water.

Gottelfaxun finally had a clear and perceptual understanding of this case now, and at the same time felt that it was not worth it for Frankel and Leyard, two real colleagues. Why did he just spread this goods to be the prosecutor? If it were the beautiful Solomon, it would have been a decisive case long ago.

Judge Gotel: "Witness, please answer the defendant's lawyer's questions positively."

Hines "Yes, yes, Your Excellency Judge, this, this, I, I did express concern about it the day before the judgment. But it was just a concern."

Edward "Only a day ago, OK. Mr. Hines, can you find a witness to prove your words?"

Hines "I protest!"

Judge Gotel: "The protest is valid, please ask the clerk to delete this question in the trial record."

Edward shrugged "Okay, then let's go."

Edward "Mr. Hines, let me see the record during the long coordination process, oh, for almost three months, you have been running between the two courts and the prosecutor's office, and of course Bergman's side. You didn't feel worried, and then the day before the verdict, suddenly you were worried. Do you want to express this?"

Hines "No, no, okay, I admit that I have been worried that too light sentencing will cause damage to judicial justice. For this reason, I keep working hard and working hard to achieve better results."

Edward's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, why did this waste suddenly get enlightened? This time it's interesting. Wait, now, who is the veteran and who is the rookie? This guy actually started to justify his behavior. This is a good defensive point."

Edward "Mr. Hines, you really didn't do anything else in advance because of your concerns, such as drafting a speech in advance to clear your responsibilities, let the public and the media aim the sights at the next Judge Leyard? Let him be the target of democratic anger?"

Hines "I protest"

Judge Gotel "Mr. Edward, I want to remind you not to use this divergent way of asking questions in court that is prone to malicious speculation."

Edward "Yes, Your Excellency Judge, I'll ask again, Mr. Hines, have you prepared a speech before the judgment to deal with the public opinion that will inevitably arouse after Judge Frankel's verdict?"

Hines "No!"

Edward: "Really not?"

Hines "Absolutely not!"

Edward "Surely not?"

The onlookers in the court began to laugh again.

Judge Gotel coughed heavily, touched the handle of the gavel with his right hand, and looked at Edward threateningly.

That means, if it weren't for the court, the gavel would have turned into a flying prop and smashed your kid's mouth... Who told you to turn the serious court cross-examination procedure into a famous scene of a soap opera at 8:30?

Edward nodded and apologized to him. His words were deliberately disturbing Hines's mind. In conjunction with his smiling expression, it seemed to be effective. Not to mention Hines, even the judge was caught.

Edward: "So, based on Mr. Hines' previous testimony, can I think so that Mr. Hines has been worried about the result of the light sentence during the coordination period of the play for several months, but has not taken any corresponding preventive measures?"

Hines: "No, I did it! I've been working hard!"

Edward walked up to Hines with a smile, "Yes, I believe it."

After saying that, he walked to the defense lawyer's seat and said to Silari: "Hand me the g-23 folder."

Edward took the folder and Yang Yang: "This is a record of the visitor list of Chrysler Building. Mr. Hines's special attorney's office is located on the 25th floor of the building. Let's see." As he said, he showed several pages of dense list of visitors to Hines and the judge.

Edward: "These things are of course of no use, but I solved them in a table and found an interesting problem."

"Please see," he continued, "There are a lot of visitors to Mr. Hines's office. I paid attention to counting the people who worked in the media and found very interesting phenomena."

Edward: "For a long time, various journalists often came and went in and out of Mr. Hines's office. It was when the business was first opened, and then the number gradually decreased. After the Bergman case broke out, there was a small peak. As the case progressed, the number of people dropped again. However, a week before the trial, I found that Mr. Hines had more media guests, almost three times that of usual."

Edward was too lazy to go around with him again. "And please see, the media visitors this week are very different from previous media visitors. Most of the visitors this week are senior legal and political news commentators, and before they were interviewed by ordinary journalists."

Hines began to feel uneasy: "Protest, the defendant's lawyer illegally obtained information."

Edward sneered: "It's just a list of visitors, it's not confidential at all. Moreover, as a government agency with 100 employees and an annual budget of tens of millions, I'm not wrong with me to supervise your daily exchanges? This is the United States. If I could, I could even ask to review the list of visitors from the White House and Capitol Hill. Why is Mr. Hines's office more guarded than these two places? It's even more irresponsible? If so, I can only think that the confidentiality of the Special Prosecutor's office is about the same as the kgb's office in New York?"

Judge Gotel "The defendant attorney pays attention to your words."

After saying that, he looked at Ruthberg with hatred, and he understood very clearly, "The good students you have cultivated."

But he didn't dare to keep an eye on it for too long. If he annoyed this Yale Flower, who is famous for being aggressive, Judge Gottel would have no other way than to claim his bad luck.

Hines "This, this doesn't mean anything."

Edward "Of course it cannot represent anything, but I found that three days before the trial, a well-known political critic named David Jewey frequently visited. May I ask, Mr. Hines, what did you talk to him?"

Hines: "It has nothing to do with you!"

Edward "How can it be irrelevant? Remember you are using taxpayers' money. As a member of the taxpayer, of course I have to question why Mr. David Jewe, who has no business relationship with your daily work, visited on weekdays several times? Are you wasting the taxpayer's money? My Mr. Hines? This is a more serious problem! Although it has nothing to do with this case, I believe the media and the public will be more interested in it!"

Edward then turned to the judge and said, "Mr. Judge, I asked the court to allow me to retrieve the call records of Mr. Hines a week before Judge Frankle's sentence, including office and home phone calls. If I estimate it well, he and Mr. David Jewway should have a frequent call and long time."

Judge Gotel: "Mr. Hines, I think it is necessary for you to make a brief description to help me confirm whether the call history is needed."

Hines "This, this, I do, indeed, discuss with Mr. David Jeweh how to deal with the media reaction once Judge Frankel's judgment takes effect."

Edward "Mr. Judge, I ask Mr. David Jewe to be summoned to court, and I want to ask him something."

Judge Gotel: "Yes, the court will issue a subpoena."

Hines "No, no, I admit it, I admit it, maybe three or four days before Judge Frankel's sentence, I thought Judge Frankel's too light sentencing might make the people crazy. Out of concern, I called David Jewee and asked him to come to me to give me some advice."

Edward raised his eyebrows and said, "Just come up with an idea?"

Hines said angrily, "Don't interrupt me!"
