The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 209 Surrender and Lose Half?Queen's Gambit starts!

in court.

Everyone is in a state of shock.

no way!
Chuck's approach completely subverted their common sense and achieved what they thought was impossible.

In the courtroom in the American drama world, in order to impress the judges and jury members, both the plaintiff and the defendant’s lawyers will try their best to grasp the point that the judges and jury members are more acceptable and feel, and continue to strengthen it, and then let the jury Team members believe what they say.

But no matter how rich the language skills are, no matter how sincere the expression is, it will never be able to achieve the impact of Chuck's random reproduction of evidence so that no one can refute and dispute.

Such a large 2-ton marble column is full of cracks but stands there without any cracks!

Thousands of completely irregular crushed stones are perfectly combined, what else can I say?
Say no?
Say coincidence?
Please!

Even in the magical real world where you dare to say that this is a large-scale weapon with washing powder, what Chuck has shown is indisputable evidence!

"Defense counsel?"

After the judge was shocked, he looked at Harrison Powell.

"Your Honor...I have no objection."

Harrison Powell walked back to the dock in a daze.

"Okay, this evidence is collected for the jury members' reference."

The judge made his decision.

Harrison Powell turned his head sideways to Gould, who reacted from the shock and worried about his fate, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How is your acting?"

"What do you mean?"

Little braided Gold looked at his lawyer puzzled.

"……nothing."

Harrison Powell looked at him, then looked at Chuck, who was looking at this side with a calm expression, struggled for a while, finally shook his head and said nothing, stood up and said to the judge: "Your Honor, I need to talk to you Let the prosecution discuss it."

"can."

The judge understood that Harrison was about to throw in the towel for a plea deal, and nodded in approval.

Harrison Powell looked at the bald prosecutor, motioned to come forward, and when the bald prosecutor approached, he whispered: "Congratulations, Charlie, we accepted the previous plea agreement."

The bald prosecutor was smiling, and was about to tease a few words before agreeing, when he caught a glimpse of Chuck's expressionless gaze, and suddenly, he motioned for Harrison to wait a moment, walked up to Chuck, and said, While shaking his head, he came back again, and helplessly said to his private friend Harrison, "You should have agreed earlier."

"What does he mean?"

Harrison glanced at Chuck and said angrily, "I've already surrendered. Is he still going to kill me? Charlie knows me. Do you think I have no chance of turning things around? Don't be too confident, you already If you win, why waste time and energy to continue gambling? There are many cases, he doesn't know, don't you know the necessity of prosecution and plea deal?"

"Oh, of course I know."

The bald prosecutor sighed: "It's just that he is so powerful, I've already won. If I still accept your prosecution and defense deal under such circumstances, it will be unreasonable. I'm sorry, Harrison."

The reason why the prosecution and defense deal exists is naturally impossible because there is no reason at all. There are so many cases in the American drama world every year, and each case is very cumbersome to fight. Legal resources are available for consumption, which is why there is a plea deal. If you admit a misdemeanor, you can avoid being prosecuted for a felony, which greatly saves legal resources.

He, the prosecutor, had repeatedly persuaded Harrison to accept the plea agreement before the trial. At that time, if Harrison accepted it, no one could say anything.

But Harrison is used to being arrogant and not only refused to accept it, but also sneered at it. Now that the matter has come to this point, Harrison chooses to bow his head and confess. As a private friend, he can accept it.

But Chuck, who is now a police consultant, is unwilling to accept it, and he can't blatantly agree to let Harrison and the others accept the very favorable plea agreement at the beginning.

After the bald prosecutor finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

Harrison was angry, aggrieved and helpless. After struggling for a long time, he returned to his position.

"Defense lawyer, have you discussed with the prosecution?"

the judge asked.

"Your Honor, I have no questions."

Harrison glanced at Chuck and shook his head at the judge.

"it is good."

Seeing this, the judge didn't say anything else, and looked at the jury members, who were enjoying themselves so much, and said, "Jurors, you can go in and discuss it, and give a verdict."

Under the guidance of the bailiff opening the door, all the jurors left with unfinished business.

Chuck and the others also walked out of the court, waiting for the jury's final decision outside the court.

"you lose."

Harrison Powell's wife said with a complicated expression.

"I haven't lost yet!"

Harrison Powell retorted uncomfortablely.

"you lose."

Mrs. Powell looked at her husband with affirmative eyes and said: "You have already surrendered, psychologically! But this is not surprising. When you meet Detective Chuck, admitting defeat is not the worst outcome. Maybe not admitting defeat."

"I do not have!"

Harrison couldn't bear his wife's belittling attitude, and said regretfully: "I admit that he is very powerful, but I am not completely helpless just now... It's just that this case is not worth my effort."

This is the truth!

As long as he wants to, he can still fight hard and play the card of mental illness. As long as the little braid Gold can pass the acting skills, it is not completely hopeless.

It's just that in the end, without waiting for the little braid Gold to speak, he voluntarily gave up this plan.

Because it's risky!

Theoretically, the defense strategy of the defense cannot be changed. At the beginning, he pleaded innocence for the braided Gold, but now he rashly changed his defense strategy. It's serious, seriously, he might have his lawyer's license revoked.

Of course, based on the relationship between him and the judge, he would not be able to reach this point. If the prosecution were someone else, he would also have the confidence to reverse these unfavorable factors and use his superb defense skills to skillfully achieve his goals.

After all, the case involved the title of his new book: Invincible: The Harrison Powell Story!
If you lose, the invincibility that is the most selling point in the title of this book will not be available.

In normal times, for the title of invincibility, he would definitely give it a go!

But in the face of Chuck, he really has no confidence, because he has no idea that if he really takes this step, Chuck will use a method that he can't think of, indisputably proving that his adventure is meaningless.

Of course, he would not admit the fact that he was cowardly, especially in front of his wife.

It's just that as a husband and wife, who doesn't know who is who, and his wife didn't see through to protect his face like before, without saying anything, just laughing made him extremely uncomfortable.

Now that the matter has come to this point, even if he wants to take a risk and fight, he has no choice but to wait for the jury to discuss the results and give the final verdict.

there.

For the first time, the bald prosecutor defeated his friend who was known as the number one criminal lawyer on the East Coast. He apologized for not agreeing to the prosecution and defense deal after the other party pleaded guilty, and said excitedly: "Dr. Wolf, this case is over! You It's just unbelievable!"

"he knows."

Chandler stood beside Chuck, tilted his head, and said teasingly: "We know, and now everyone knows."

Jane didn't speak, but the anger she had accumulated towards Chuck in the past two days in her eyes was forcefully suppressed by a touch of admiration.

"Dr. Wolfe, you like puzzles don't you?"

Commissioner Randy Tischer has a different focus and asks what he is most curious about.

"Ah."

Chuck raised his decorative glasses, nodded and said, "I like puzzles."

New Hampshire.

Underground room.

The girl in white, Anna, couldn't help but smile when she heard this. A young boy with hands and feet shaking unnaturally was playing with a puzzle in his mind. When the last piece was missing, a girl with hands and feet shaking unnaturally jumped from the ground Picking up a jigsaw puzzle and handing it to him, he stopped screaming, took it in a daze, and put the puzzle together into a complete picture.

The watch on Chuck's wrist vibrated undetectably.

"I knew it!"

Director Randy Tischer clenched his fist and looked at Chandler happily: "I said it!"

"you are amazing."

Chandler gave him two thumbs up.

It didn't take long for the bailiff to remind the jury members that they had reached their decision, and they all walked to the courtroom.

The bald prosecutor was beaming, while Harrison Powell looked sour.

Because the verdict was delivered in such a short period of time, it shows that the opinions of the jury members are very unified, and after such an impactful trial just now, unless there is a supernatural force controlling all the jurors, no one will believe that the jury will give a verdict of not guilty. judgment.

If not innocent, then guilty!
There are only these two outcomes.

The judge also came in at this time, announced the continuation of the trial, took a look at the note with the result that the bailiff got from the jury, and said to the jury members: "Please give the final result to the jury."

It is customary to respect the right of the jury to let the jury acquit themselves.

An older juror, as the head of the jury, stood up and said to the judge: "The defendant is guilty after the unanimous verdict of the jury members!"

"Yes!"

Chandler pumped his fist happily, then bumped it with Randy Tischer, who did the same.

The jury convicted and the judge sentenced, because this is New Jersey, where there is no death penalty for first-degree murder, so a life sentence for first-degree murder was given.

No one cared what pigtailed Gold was thinking anymore.

All eyes are on Detective Chuck and the first failed East Coast criminal lawyer.

"Dr. Wolf, well done!"

Harrison Powell quickly adjusted his state, walked towards Chuck, and smiled at Chuck: "You are a very amazing opponent, and I look forward to seeing you in court next time."

"Make it look like Chuck's a lawyer."

Chandler sneered from the side: "Don't forget, he is a police consultant, and you are not opponents. He cross-fields and swept you, the invincible number one criminal lawyer on the East Coast, for the prosecutor. Are you sure you are looking forward to it?" once?"

"..."

Harrison Powell couldn't hold back his smirk after forcibly adjusting it. He gave the poisonous Chandler a hard look, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he was, and he dragged his wife out of the court.

"It seems that it is still useful to take you with you."

Jane is no longer angry with Chuck because of Chuck's performance in court, and now she is sure that with their efforts, justice has not been punished. She is in a good mood, and she has nothing for Chandler The previous dislike, seeing him as the number one litigator on the east coast broke the defense, he honestly praised him.

"Thank you."

Chandler laughed at himself: "But no matter how hard you work, it won't be as useful as you are to Chuck. After all, I'm just in charge of making jokes, and it all depends on my mouth..."

Speaking of this, in the eyes of Jane's anger and disgust again, and Chief Randy Tischer patted his shoulder comfortingly, he couldn't speak anymore.

outside the courthouse.

As soon as Harrison Powell and his wife went out, they were surrounded by long guns and short guns.

"Mr. Powell, what do you think about this failure?"

"Mr. Powell, will your book be renamed?"

"Mrs. Powell, what do you think of the suggestion that you chose to forgive Mr. Powell for imitating Mrs. Frolick in Chicago?"

"..."

Biting questions were asked one after another, and Mrs. Powell looked very ugly even with her dark glasses on.

Everyone knows that the famous Frolick couple in Chicago, Mrs. After he was released from prison, he became active and prepared to run for the Chicago Attorney General again.

And Mrs. Florrick also turned around gorgeously, from a housewife to a strong woman in the workplace. The couple simply won.

But this has revealed to the public the ridiculousness of the so-called marriage and family under the community of interests of husband and wife.

Now that this is mentioned, Mrs. Powell only finds it very ironic and slapping.

In contrast, Harrison Powell is in a much better state. Even though he just broke the defense, he still managed to force a smile: "Detective Chuck lives up to his reputation. He is indeed a very good detective. He used many incredible means to let us I have a clearer understanding of the truth of the case. Although I lost the case, I still admire him, because the truth is getting clearer and clearer. There are only a few more people like him. As we support the freedom of not wronging a good person Lawyers at the bottom line can work less hard..."

"..."

Chandler and the others walked to the gate of the court and were dumbfounded to see Harrison Powell like this.

What kind of shame is this!

The bald prosecutor couldn't stand Chandler and the others looking at him, and explained embarrassingly: "The case has been defeated, the more he praises Dr. Wolfe now, the more people will know how powerful Dr. To minimize the negative impact of his failure."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Chuck and sighed: "And it's really not because of his ability."

"Ok."

Jane also understood this truth, but she was very upset and said: "The reasoning may be good, but it is still very depressing. If all bad people are like him, how can good people live? Not everyone can meet Chuck."

"Don't think about it."

Chuck said calmly: "Without Harrison, there are Harrigan and Harris. You are not the Virgin, and you can't control everyone. Just live your own life. As he said, just look forward to the next encounter."

"In fact, he is not as strong as he said."

Chandler joked: "When there is no one around, maybe it will be so painful. If you come here a few more times in the future, see if he can continue to pretend like this, and he will definitely be hit by Chuck and doubt his life."

"Then look forward to the next encounter."

When Jane heard this, she also felt unhappy, and sincerely looked forward to the next meeting in court.

New Jersey.

Inside a motel.

The news was broadcast on the dilapidated TV, and it was the scene of Harrison Powell and his wife being interviewed. A more than 30-year-old woman was holding her long hair with both hands, her eyes were unusual, and she was a little crazy.

"Mother."

With a soft call, an eight or nine-year-old girl reached out and touched the woman, her eyes full of worry.

"Beth."

The woman glanced at her daughter, squeezed out a smile, took out her mobile phone, dialed a number, and then looked at the TV.

During the news, Harrison Powell glanced down at his phone, then hung up and put it away.

The woman smiled, stood up and said to her daughter, "Beth, let's go out for a walk."

The little girl Beth held her mother's hand, followed her into the car, watched her mother drive faster and faster, as if feeling the fear of watching her mother dive underwater for a long time without showing her head by the lake, she looked at her mother , while her mother smiled at her with tears in her eyes: "Close your eyes."
