The Lawyer

Chapter 69: George Manson Case (4)

It wasn't until Guan Wenji was taken away from the court that the witness seat was vacated again, and Bard was shocked by the judge's hammer.

The thing that was the most favorable and the thing that would allow the jury to stand on his side obediently, was thus labeled with reservations of suspicion. After 42 hours of sleeplessness, it is not only a simple state that is not sober when he leads deeper. How can he keep his eyes open when the suspect is sleepy? How to stimulate him to continue to talk when he is exhausted? How to disintegrate his psychological defense, and how to defeat his willpower?

If you have a strong tongue, you can even pull the 42-hour shift to the direction of torture.

But the intern didn't. He seemed to be friendly and stopped at the border point.

Bud looked at the defense seat for a long time. To be honest, if he is the other party's lawyer, he will definitely use the question to play, and not squeeze out the value of those 42 hours. If you want to win, you must seize every opportunity to turn around and nail the opponent.

Can be nailed once is once, after all, the winner of this industry is king.

This is the experience that he summed up after ten years of litigation ... Of course, this cannot be called experience, which is probably common sense in the eyes of most people.

Unconsciously, he glanced down the court unconsciously. As a result, he met the sight of Brewer Manson's eagle. He quickly withdrew his gaze. He didn't think about it again because he looked right. On the case.

Soon, a new witness was on the witness stand, and Bud had got up at the prompt of the judge to start questioning him.

There were still some people talking softly in the courtroom. Gu Yan could hear it without looking back. It was from several subordinates and assistants of Brewer Manson. Brewer Manson himself did not respond, and seemed very silent.

For those doubts, Bard will ask now, but he will probably not ask again in ten more years.

In this courtroom, who can fully understand Yan Sui's approach, I am afraid that only Gu Yan is the only one, perhaps adding the older judge.

Yan Suizhi said a long time ago that jury members are not fools, they are people who are picked from all walks of life, represent different kinds of people, and have different collisions of ideas. But in any case, one thing is certain, they must have a certain judgment and are considered to be fair people.

They don't need to preach, they don't need to force their thoughts, and even to some extent, these people are a bit proud. Being able to sit on a jury seat to decide a person's freedom and life and death is not for everyone, so they must be proud.

People who are proud are not easy to accept the filling of ideas, they will resist and will repel, and even generate rebellious psychology.

So it's good to click to the end. The extended meaning that Bard can think of can also be thought of by the jury.

What they think of themselves is always better than what others have squeezed into them.

In addition to this, there may be another point ...

That point may not even be understood by the judge ...

Yan Suizhi was looking at the prosecution seat, listening to Bud's questioning of the witness, and in Yu Guangli, Gu Yan seemed to be looking at him.

"Look what I am doing?" Yan Suizhi suddenly asked softly.

Gu Yan: "..."

Some people have been in the court for many years.

Everyone else is sitting on the ground, either taking the time to read the case information carefully, or listening attentively to the lawyer or witness of the other party. He can still interact with people like this from time to time, and he can't find it while playing lanterns.

Which intern would dare to do such a bad job?

Yan Suizhi felt that Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and took back his sight and ignored him again.

"???

Standing at the witness stand at the moment was Oster Dane, a security guard outside George Manson's bedroom.

Bard ’s inquiry has been in most of the way, “Is my client Mr. George Manson turning off the lights in the living room and other rooms before entering the bathroom that night?”

Dane nodded: "Yes, the outside is dark. To facilitate Mr. Manson's needs, we can hear that the door is slightly slit, but the light in the hallway is very dark, so it has no effect on the inside. , Very dark. "

Bud said: "Until Mr. George Manson has happened, you haven't heard anything suspicious?"

Dane: "Of course, we can hardly hear too small movements, but if someone bumps into the room, we will be able to find out, but unfortunately, no. This is enough to explain some problems, after all, Manson Mr.'s room ... well, there are a lot of things. "

Bud encouraged: "A bit of a thing?"

"Mr. Manson's room is like this. There is a plush carpet between the window sill and the bed, but there is no carpet from the bed to the bathroom. There are many things scattered here, wine bottles, wine glasses, clothing, belts, ties, car keys ? "

Dane felt ridiculous in his own words, but after all the people of the Manson family were still there, he had to restrain his tone.

In response to his words, Bud made a few photos directly on the holographic screen. "This is the scene in the room when Mr. Manson was found to be in trouble after the incident happened."

There was a blank expression for a second throughout the courtroom, along with the judge who had been sullen.

It has to be said that the kind of disturbing mess is presented on the huge screen, and the shock is not trivial.

Brewer Manson's mouth moved a bit, showing a sense of disdain, disgust, and helplessness, but it was quickly withdrawn. And the assistant next to him has only one interjection-"Oh-"

Then he rubbed his eyes.

The most important information that Dane can provide is these points, so Bard quickly completed the inquiry, and also let the jury know about these.

Judge Luther said: "Mr. Ruan Ye?"

Yan Suizhi was not in a hurry and said, "I have nothing to ask."

Bud: "..."

I don't know why, now the intern said, no matter what he said, Bud had a grudge in his head.

So he grieved with a forehead and asked for the next witness, Zhao Zemu.

When Zhao Zemu stood on the witness stand, Gu Yan glanced intently at the back seat. Among the people who came to watch this time, the Manson family had the most people, and Zhao Zemu had the least people—none.

There have been rumors that the Zhao family originally had to lean on the big tree of the Manson family, but there have been some problems in the past two years, and the big tree is not stable. Some people speculate that because Zhao Zemu has a better relationship with George Manson, Brewer Manson is not very happy.

The entanglement between successors is hard to tell.

However, there was indeed a clue in the court. When Zhao Zemu entered the court, Brewer Manson ’s eyes had been on the photos of the holographic screen. After a long time, Bard had begun to ask Zhao Zemu, he did not Move your gaze slowly.

Seems to be disregarded by Zhao Zemu.

The reason why Zhao Zemu stood on the witness stand was also very simple, because he had seen Chen Zhang's hand by the window sill during Chen Zhang's crime time frame.

"Did you grab the water column next to the wall like this?" Bud demonstrated a grip.

Zhao Zemu shook his head and changed his direction. "That's what I caught."

"How long did it catch?"

"A few seconds, four or five seconds."

"Are you sure that it was the hands of the defendant?" Bud asked.

Zhao Zemu said calmly: "Because the index finger of that hand carried a ring-shaped smart machine with a circular cross section on the ring, and two prominent horizontal lines on the cross section. Of course, I just saw this, afterwards. The police investigation confirmed that no one in the villa had that smart phone except Chen Zhang. "

Bud released the picture out of the window of the villa. As far as the structure is concerned, if Chen Zhang wants to go from the second floor window sill to the first floor, and try to lower the sound as much as possible, it is really necessary to grab the water pipe and relax.

And that hand happened to be within the time frame of Chen Zhang's possible crime.

Bard quickly finished asking the question, and the right of inquiry was handed over to Yan Sui.

"Mr. Zhao." Yan Suizhi got up and greeted him.

Zhao Zemu was stunned for a moment. Maybe he knew who defended Chen Zhang before, but it would still be a little stunned to see it in court, but he quickly nodded his expression and said, "Hello."

"You saw the hand of my client Chen Zhang by the window?"

"I already said that, yes."

"How much is exposed?" Yan Suizhi asked.

Zhao Zemu froze for a moment, and then gestured on his own hand, half of his forearm, "So much, because this is the way to hold the post around, you can see part of the sleeve and wrist."

Yan Suizhi nodded, "I heard a sentence before, I don't know if I remember it correctly. Mr. Zhao, do you have night blindness?"

"Yes." Zhao Zemu thought about it, and even laughed at himself, "This even has a medical certificate."

At that time, everyone in the villa was asked to do this identification.

"Nightblind ..." Yan Suizhi repeated, and asked again: "How did you see the scene outside the window?"

Zhao Zemu replied unhurriedly: "At that time, my room was still on with lights, and the light was enough to let me see clearly the things near the window. The water pipe was just in range."

"See clearly?"

"Yes, it's clear."

"Did you have any physical discomfort on your wrist that day, such as dizziness?" Yan Suizhi said, "If I remember correctly, you basically cultivated in the bedroom for those two days."

Zhao Zemu shook his head, "No, there was no physical discomfort at that time. I was a little scared after staying in the bedroom just to dive, but I was not in a good mood. I was afraid to affect other people."

Yan Suizhi asked again, "Is there a party in the villa that night, did you drink?"

"You mean when you saw your hand?" Zhao Zemu shook his head. "No, I didn't touch a drop of wine before going downstairs to participate in the party. In fact, I didn't drink anymore after going downstairs. Joe sent me juice. . "

"So you were sober all night long, and did not have any discomfort like dizziness affecting what you see?"

"Correct."

Zhao Zemu said very firmly.

Yan Suizhi nodded, then replayed the video that Bard used just now.

That was a video shot by Laura at that time. Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi had already gotten back to the shuttle at the time. When Gu Yan received this video, he also watched it to Yan Suizhi. Laura recorded the video at the time, except to pass on a copy to them, but never opened it again. Originally intended to wait for the meeting to be sent to the crowd, but the result was the accident of Manson that night. This video was directly included by the police and was not watched by others. Until now, it was only put into court as auxiliary evidence.

Yan Suizhi directly pulled the progress bar to a point in the second half of the video. In the video, Zhao Zemu was just cheated by Glenn and several of them from the upper floor, followed by Chen Zhang. After the two reached the lobby, they found a corner sit down.

Chen Zhang was quickly pulled in by another gang to talk about diving. He could hear a vaguely asking in the video how the underwater accident happened to save oneself. It might have been frightened by the diving accident at the time.

On the other side, Zhao Zemu always sat in that corner and watched everyone make trouble.

This scene took place in a corner of a huge video, and because other places on the screen are still dancing in groups, the noise is so attractive that it is easily overlooked in this corner.

Yan Suizhi very simply enlarged the video directly, so that what happened in this corner could fill the entire holographic screen.

Everyone in the courtroom could clearly see that the waiter arranged by Joe put a disc into the mirror, and a few drinks were placed on the disc. He stopped about one step in front of Zhao Zemu, then bent down and asked with a smile : "What to drink? Master Qiao told me not to take wine. There are pear juice, apple juice and ..."

The voice was overwhelmed by the laughter in the background, but Zhao Zhemu's mouth also showed that he asked for apple juice.

Then, a strange scene appeared.

When the waiter handed the cup over, Zhao Zemu reached out and grabbed an empty space--

His hand was held two or three centimeters away from the cup.

The waiter was obviously stunned, then Zhao Zemu rubbed his forehead, and said something to the waiter with a smile, looking a bit sorry.

The waiter shook his head again and said something like "It doesn't matter".

This time, Zhao Zemu reached out very slowly, and when he was approaching the cup, his fingers were a little hesitant. He seemed to hesitate in groping before reaching a little further.

The waiter might not be able to look down for a while, and put the cup directly in his hand.

Yan Suizhi replayed this episode three times, and then asked Zhao Zemu, "You just said very surely that the state was very good all night, no drinking, no dizziness, no discomfort symptoms that would affect the sight ... … "

"So, how should this paragraph be explained?"
