Kamazepine slowed down and continued to recite:

Santo: "I promise you, Shelly (Sheldon's nickname), just tell us the names of these people, and you don't have to worry about the rest. If we can't solve the case without your help, then it's really impossible to solve it."

Carmazepine took his eyes away from the "codebook" and stared straight into Santo's eyes. "Do you remember what you said?"

Santo looked elsewhere, hesitant, and in contrast to his previous style of talking and laughing with Kamazepine, who was not sure how taller than him in the court, he murmured in a low voice: "I may have said this kind of content."

Edward looked at the people around him, and his eyes shining with the light of victory and expectation.

This strategy succeeded, at least so far Santo thought the defendant's lawyers had mastered all the audiotapes of the conversation about the blm building bombing.

Carmazepine turned around and continued to recite:

Santo: "As long as we figure out who did it, don't you believe we can call these guys all? You're having fun with me

Can we let them all help, I tell you, this can definitely be done."

Sheldon: "What if someone finds out?"

Santo: "No one will find out. You don't even have to go to the grand jury to testify for this. We will solve these messy things, and maybe we don't have to bother you."

Carmazepine asked Santo if he remembered the essence of the conversation.

As expected, he began to dodge again, vaguely saying, "This sounds familiar. It's a bit like what I said."

At this time, Judge Arnold began to become impatient with Santo's obvious shirking and messing around.

When Santo answered another question from a conversation, "I might say that kind of thing."

Judge Arnold snatched the conversation: "What do you say, 'What might it mean? Have you said it or haven't said it?"

Now the situation is beginning to reverse, and Santo, who was originally satisfied, is gradually falling into collapse, and Solomon also feels that the situation is not good.

Solomon and Henry Puzel began to protest continuously.

But Judge Arnold seemed to know very well what Kamazepine was doing. He said something that made love feel a little cold.

Judge Arnold: "The cross-examination itself does not mean having evidence. Especially when it comes to non-judge trials, you are in front of the court, and the court is quite familiar with criminal proceedings. You must immediately decide whether the tape really exists, and whether he is going to take it out."

Obviously, Justice Arnold was not very convinced, and Sheldon secretly recorded all the conversations.

But in this way, Judge Arnold became more and more interested, and he was increasingly involved in this cross-examination.

Perhaps I want to take this opportunity to create a precept for leaving a name in history, so that my name and this precept will continue to appear in related cases in the future.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why this was done.

And this success also made Carbamazepine, which has always been silent and reliable, become a little fluttering.

This idea was made by Edward, but the burden of cross-examination in court was completely pressed on his shoulders.

If you say a wrong sentence or don't notice the flaws found by the other party for a while, with the ability of Solomon and Henry Puzel, it should not be difficult to figure out the defense's plan by following the clues, then you will be completely finished.

Now everything is going well, and he is a little drifting.

So much so that when I read the recording copy, I seemed to be too immersed in the role of Santo, and began to imagine myself as the rough policeman who was coaxing Sheldon. His voice became hoarse and his accent also changed to Brooklyn English with Italian accent. His face was full of expressions and eyebrows, and even touched his head that did not exist. This was Santo's hairstyle, and the top of Camazepine was already a quasi-Mediterranean trend.

This was immediately protested by the prosecutor

Solomon: "Mr. Judge, I protest this dramaticism"

Carmazepine: "I'm sorry."

Judge Arnold: "I understand your pain, Mr. Solomon, but these things are so exciting."

At another key node, Judge Arnold actually took over the cross-examination himself:

Judge Arnold: "Read one by one."

Kamazepine: "Listen, tell me who did the BLM building. Tell me who the guys who are the dog fucking are."

Judge Arnold: "Did you have such a conversation with Mr. Sheldon in April 1968?

Santo "Have, sir, I have that kind of conversation about the BLM building."

Kamazepine said, "We will never treat you as a witness. We can solve the case according to the circumstances you provide. I recognize the clues you provide."

Court: "Have you said to him during the conversation? Don't tell me anything that is impossible. I want to know, did you say it or didn't say it?"

Santo: "I think I've said it, Lord Judge, I actually said to Mr. Sheldon that we can solve the case according to the circumstances you provide."

Judge Arnold has now helped the defense conduct cross-examination.

Kamazepine continued to recite: "We will not treat you as witnesses, we will not! There is no need, we can solve the case without you."

Judge Arnold raised his voice and asked Santo: "Have you said it?"

Santo: "I don't remember saying these specific words, Lord Judge"

Carmazepine: "Have you said to Mr. Sheldon that contains the above substance?"

Santo: "In terms of substance, I think I said it."

Judge Arnold: "So that's a fact, isn't it? At some point you said to Sheldon, "'We will never treat you as witnesses,' right?"

Santo: “My conversation with Sheldon was about ‘If we could solve the case according to the circumstances you provided, we would never treat you as a witness.’”

Judge Arnold: "I didn't ask you to say "if". I was asking you if you had ever told him something like the actual situation directly, and there was no "if"!"

"Read him that passage, Mr. Kamazepine, please read the last few words of that passage."

Kamazepine said, "We won't treat you as witnesses, we won't, and there is no need. We can solve the case without you."

Judge Arnold: "Have you said this to him?"

Santo: "It sounds familiar, Lord Judge. I don't remember whether these words are really what I said."

Judge Arnold roared: "Don't interrupt me. You said, 'It sounds familiar to you. I treat it as you mean you remember you have had a substantial similar statement, and don't play any word-of-word game with me! You understand!"

Usually, judges are good-looking in court and rarely lose their temper. After all, he plays a legal machine without emotions, and only considers the application of the law based on the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense.

Solomon was also deeply shocked.

As for Santo, the dignified Italian tough guy is a little unsteady now.

Santo: "In essence, Your Excellency Judge."

Court: "That's OK."

In this way, Santo admitted that he had promised Sheldon would never summon him to testify in the blm building bombing.

The strategy succeeds!

It's even better than Edward's dream!

On the one hand, Santo denied most of the conversations that mastered the recording (mainly cross-examined the bait parts at the beginning).

But he actually admitted that he hadn't recorded the conversation.

At the end of the third stage of cross-examination, everyone in the court, including the judge, the government prosecutor, and even Santo himself believed that Santo was a lie.

Santo slipped off the witness stand in shame and horror, and Solomon stared at him with glaring eyes. Judge Arnold did not hide his contempt for the officer who was so stupid that he was captured on the spot.

Indeed, this is a huge collapse.

The time for the cross-examination is over, and it's time to play the recording.

Edward was eager to play the recording as soon as possible when Santo's testimony was still echoing in people's ears.

Edward also wanted to explain to Judge Arnold that he had previously said that he had all the tapes that were secretly recorded, but he did have some tapes, but he dared not say that he had all the tapes about the conversation between Sheldon and Santo.

As soon as the third phase of cross-examination was completed, Carmazepine said, "Now we are willing to play the recording of the conversation so that the Santo official can relive the various remarks that he can no longer remember, and all of them are included in the case." This is of course a fraud.

The prosecutor immediately refused.

Instead, it is recommended to hand over the tape to them themselves and to the FBI to check whether it is the original recording and copy the contents and the judge announced that the court would be held after the government completed the work.

Judge Arnold agreed with Solomon's suggestion.

After all, what Solomon said was in theory, and it was not too much.

Now facing a huge choice.

Should we show up on the spot: tell Judge Arnold the truth-the defense did not record all the recordings, and none of the ones that Santo admitted were recorded, and even the so-called recording copy was forged.

Edward decided to take a gamble, not to say it!

The reason and simplicity. If you say it directly now, the atmosphere of victory will be diluted a lot, and it seems that you admit your suspicion of inducing confession in court.

Moreover, Judge Arnold showed that he had been spared just now, and now he immediately made it clear that this was just a court plan. This guy was so angry that he was angry. What should he do if he turned against him on the spot?

"From a legal perspective, the defense lawyers have no obligation to inform themselves." Edward comforted himself.

Kamazepine and Bert Witzleben seemed to want to object, but in the end they chose to remain silent.

After all, this scene in court is the first time for them today. There is no precedent to check how to deal with it in the future. Since Edward decided to slow down first, let's slow down first.

Who is the boss in the lawyer group is obvious?

No matter what, this key court meeting has ended.

Clusters of Jewish Defence supporters rushed up and congratulated Sheldon loudly.

Those who despise him yesterday and are disgraced by his betrayal today praise his loyalty and wit.
