Chapter 75 This court hereby authorizes the clerk to delete these questions and answers from the testimony!

Solomon hung up the phone and smiled at his assistant Henry Puzel, "What a clever guy, I really like him!"

"Yes, awesome, fortunately he is still young. If he had been in another ten years, I don't know what he would be like?"

"Ten years?" Solomon smiled, "I hope he can live to that time. It may not be a good thing to be too smart and outstanding. Of course, compared with old Europe, the United States has already been very kind and friendly in protecting such geniuses. This is also the reason why this young country can become the leader of the free world in just over a hundred years. Excellent morality and values."

"Yes. To be honest, I want to find someone to kill him directly." Henry Puzel told the truth.

A case that was originally easy to capture was mixed up by this guy, so the federal prosecutor's office came to express his "concern" and asked if he needed "help".

Translated into human words, "Idiot, if you make things worse, please wipe them off quickly, otherwise I will just replace someone else!"

Of course, this is just a expression of attitude. The power behind Solomon will make anyone think twice before acting, but being so "concerned" will make him lose face after all.

"No, Henry, don't think so! That's the mafia style. We are legal persons, we are law enforcement officers, and the guardians of the United States. We should solve problems within the legal framework as much as possible, rather than use swords and guns."

Henry Puzel said angrily, "I know, I just complain casually. But your persuasion to Judge Arnold is really effective."

"Of course" Solomon leaned proudly on the chair. "At the end of the day, prosecutors and judges are government employees. Although wages are paid by the federal and local governments, everyone works for the government, so naturally they have the same idea. Safe is the first priority, and they all want to leave their names in history, but the premise is to be cautious and reliable, so we still have some common language."

"As long as we raise reasonable doubts, he must also consider them and weigh them again. We must fight the lawsuit openly, and at least have a practical starting point."

"Yes!" Henry Puzel replied, muttering to himself, "As long as you have such a starting point that you can make a move, you can mobilize the power behind it to 'persuade' the judge! There is no need to do it deliberately, just use some technical means at critical moments to solve the big problem."

Solomon didn't know what his assistant thought, and continued, "Actually, they did a pretty job this time, but they also made a fatal mistake. If they played the recording in court, even if Judge Arnold got angry, they had to hold it back. At this time, they could persuade him with a good tongue."

"I would definitely do this if I were to do it. After all, they were almost at a disadvantage in all respects. Only in this way can they turn the tables. Be more sincere and then list a few past judgments. Arnold will probably recognize them."

"What a pity, Edward is still too young." Henry Puzel curled his lips.

"Luckily he is still young. If we meet him ten years later today, haha..." Solomon smiled, "But fortunately, God still favors us."

...

What Edward didn't expect was that the locker room negotiations almost forced him to the edge of a cliff, so that when he wrote in Memoirs, "This is the most dangerous moment in my legal career. My legal life almost ended."

When he sat in the locker room, Solomon's deputy Henry Pzell immediately stood up and delivered a carefully rehearsed speech accusing the defense lawyers of "...from beginning to end, it completely coaxed the court, coaxed the witness Santo, used the trap of words to provoke the law and turned Santo from a good police officer to a liar in the eyes of the public, causing his near-social death! This is the greatest blasphemy of lawyers' codes and laws, and the malice in it is so strong that it can be smelled almost with the nose!"

Solomon ignored the words, but his face was glamorous. Obviously, most of this speech was written by him.

"Mr. Carmazepine deliberately confuses Mr. Santo by saying things that do not actually exist on the tape. This is a malicious fraud! It is a temptation to confess! It is invalid evidence."

"You and I obviously have different opinions," Edward spoke.

But before he could start his defense words.

"This is a huge mistake," Judge Arnold said, "Based on these practices, you corrupted the image of the witness (referring to Santo), leading me to the conclusion that he was a liar, so you deceived the court."

"But this is the tape and Santo's words and deeds..." Edward found that the situation was not good and began to enter the defense. "... instead of our 'doing', it proved that he was a liar. He had been since the beginning to the end."

"If he hadn't lie, why would he collapse like that? Everyone saw the scene at that time."

"Santo essentially admitted everything. He himself admitted that he was a despicable liar."

But Judge Arnold didn't want to admit it.

He began to regard Santo as a victim, and described Edward, Kamasiping and others as the conspiracy between the Jewish thugs that spread across the United States and the Italian mafia.

At this moment, in a tone that is not so much a judge, but rather a prosecutor, he attacked Edward. "Now, I want to suggest that you, Mr. Edward, at least in this court, people expect lawyers to punch above the belt."

Boxing rules: The boxer must hit the opponent's waist belt above the opponent's belt, otherwise the violation will be deducted.

"Did you, a fool, awaken the soul of cosplay in this case? You treat yourself as a defense lawyer in court to question Santo, and now you have become a federal prosecutor? Could it be that Alzheimer's disease has exploded?" Edward suddenly became angry and cursed in his heart.

He said in anger, "Your Excellency, I don't think we're hitting our fists below the belt."

"Oh?" Arnold straightened his body from the chair, staring at Edward with a tight look, and the judge said with a threat: "Then you and me, sir. There are two completely different standards for their views on legal work..."

"I just don't understand your argument, Your Excellency." Edward felt that he could not resist directly like this. He softened his words a little, trying to seek common ground while reserving differences with the other party.

"Don't mistakenly think that the court is arguing with you!" Justice Arnold's usual high-profile appearance appeared. "Sir. The court is making a conclusion."

His old habit is always used to using court as a first-person pronoun, and I have to say that this hand is very shocking to outsiders.

In Edward's eyes, he seemed very young. He even thought about writing an article to sarcastically, the judge's self-feeling that makes people laugh.

But now is not the time.

He must convince the other party:

"If, in fact, he thought there was no tape, he would testify in one way - deny it completely; when he thought there was a tape, he would testify in another way - hesitate to admit it, I don't understand how to get the real result by doing so, or how to judge these two testimony, which one is credible?"

This statement is suspected of quibbling, but it cannot be said to be completely unreasonable. Although it avoids the deliberate induction of carbamazepine's core contradiction.

Judge Arnold remained unmoved.

"Your opinion is that you can ask questions that actually come from eavesdropping or recordings. Between these real questions, say, make up another small problem that you added yourself, never exists..."

“What do you think is ‘never exists’? Does it mean fabrication?”

"Yes. That's what the court thinks"

Solomon and Henry Puzel watched coldly, without saying a word.

Obviously they had convinced the "Court" before, and God knows what method to use.

Of course, this is within the scope permitted by law.

Before the case is tried, both the prosecution and the defense have the right to express their views to the judge separately as a supplement to the court debate.

These conversations will also be recorded in writing and kept in archives.

Solomon would not sit still and wait for death. When he discovered Edward's plan, he keenly noticed the gray area, that is, "the defense party is suspected of using 'fake information' to induce confession."

"No, that's not very appropriate. If you are asking if you add a voice that the witness thought was recorded between the conversation, we ask him if something we think had happened but was not recorded, I'm sure it's very appropriate and legal."

The court said rudely again: "Even if you deliberately show your behavior, speech, and expression in the court, as if these were recorded, it is also a suitable behavior?"

Edward: "Of course, it's appropriate."

"Court": "You are incompatible with the court's views."

At this point, Edward was forced into a desperate situation.

There is no other way except hard head

"But I still think it's all legal."

"Court": "The court believes that this practice is not allowed."

Edward: "If you can explain..."

"Court": "The court is not here to answer the questions! Don't you understand this? I'm the court!"

Edward said dryly: "I don't understand at all what's wrong with doing that?"

"Court": "Then I can't help. Sir. I'm not your criminal proceedings professor."

Edward was still too young. He thought he was reasonable, so he began to try to debate the judge with Arnold again.

But for the conceited "court", this is obviously a provocation.

At this moment, Edward finally realized how stupid it was to not take the initiative to explain on the spot that day that document was different from recording tape.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you are a judge, you will obviously think that this is the defense lawyer deliberately deceiving and misleading.

No judge likes to be played with by lawyers or prosecutors in court, or to be played with by others.

Usually people smile lightly after being played with and say they don’t mind, it’s just that they don’t have the channels and methods of revenge. Once they have these two... haha, the ugliness of human nature will soon take the dominance.

The simple cross-examination trick originally thought by the lawyer is now considered a fraud by Judge Arnold, so revenge comes...

When Edward finally figured out the problem, he was sweating all over. He softened his voice and begged Judge Arnold not to make a hurried conclusion on this issue, at least until the defense has the opportunity to give a written answer to the prosecutor's accusation.

But the "court" impatiently made a "judgment in court":

"The Clerk hereby authorizes the clerk to delete these questions and answers from the testimony!"

"No!" Edward shouted

Judge Arnold almost grinned and said, "I have already said it very clearly, very clearly. Now I want to avoid the fatigue of the defense lawyer writing a written defense. After all, you have also spent a lot of effort to make up recordings. Now this court ruled that it is completely incompatible with the legal process! Everything is over. If this court makes a mistake, then the court of appeal will tell me this! Instead of being done by the defense lawyer!"

"At the same time, I want to remind you that, as this court has been saying, the ruling of this court has never been overturned by the Court of Appeal! Never!"

Edward was cold all over.

Thanks to readers, book friends 20181027132230855, book friends 20170212172337244 for the rewards.

I thought, in order to repay everyone’s love for me, would I buy some domestic Viagra as a benefit for readers’ lottery?

I took sleeping pills last night and slept soundly, but at around 4 o'clock, I suddenly had a dream.

I dreamed that the first book was only 29...

Mom, I was woken up instantly.

Later, I thought about it and this number was too exaggerated and it should not happen in reality.

1201 I will definitely update you, probably 2000 a chapter, so I will talk about it first ten chapters.

After that, it will be restored to more than 3,000 per chapter, and two updates will be guaranteed in a day.

I think the first order should be 290... Smile with tears.jpg
Chapter completed!
