The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 423 A Witness Who Doesn't Talk about Wude
Monday.

New York Superior Court.

"Only one count of second-degree murder, no plea deal at all?"

The defense lawyer of the animal mother saw the bald prosecutor Ben Stone before the trial, and immediately got angry: "You are abusing judicial power!"

"We gave you a chance, whether you accept it or not, it's your choice."

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone said with a flat expression: "As for only prosecuting second-degree murder, it is because we feel that this is exactly what the defendant should be prosecuted for. If you are confident that you can win this lawsuit, it will actually be more beneficial to you." Advantageous, isn't it?"

"..."

Defense attorneys were left speechless.

Because only one charge is prosecuted, which is a felony such as second-degree murder, once the jury acquits, then it is really acquitted, and I will say goodbye to this case.

Afterwards, even if evidence is found, the prosecution can no longer use this case to prosecute the animal mother under the principle of no second prosecution in one case.

So to some extent, this does benefit the defense.

But only if the defense is confident of winning the case.

But when Chuck accompanied the bald prosecutor to attend the jury selection scene, the defense lawyer who thought the case was easy suddenly lost the confidence.

As a defense lawyer, he certainly knew that Detective Chuck had participated in the whole process of the case, and also knew about Detective Chuck's incredible abilities.

Therefore, when selecting jury members, he was very nervous, and he wanted to deny Chuck and all the jurors who nodded in agreement.

But this is just a beautiful imagination, but the reality is that he can't do it at all.

After selecting the jury, watching the bald prosecutor Ben Stone smile at Detective Chuck, and when Detective Chuck nodded slightly, he had no confidence at all.

As long as the bald prosecutors give them a choice as before, they can make a plea deal with a lesser charge. He doesn't even ask for the lightest charge. He promises to persuade his client to nod directly.

Hello, me, hello, everyone, how nice!
But the bald prosecutor didn't talk about martial arts at all, and didn't even give him a chance, and directly asked him to accept the highest crime that his client could never accept, forcing him to devote himself to fighting this lawsuit that was likely to lose.

It's just too nasty!
"See you in court!"

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone ignored his entanglement and irritation, smiled and walked in with the African-American assistant prosecutor.

Chuck and a group of old friends came, sat in the audience, and waited for the trial to begin.

Monica did not choose to invite her mother over, and the mother and daughter watched this alternative mirror show together.

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American assistant prosecutor nodded to Chuck and walked to their seats in the front row. When the judge arrived, the formal trial began.

"Doctor, what does amitriptyline do?"

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone applies for the medical examiner to testify.

"Relieves symptoms of nervous tension and depression."

The medical examiner who testified replied.

"What about taking a lot of it?"

Bald-headed prosecutor Ben Stone went on to ask: "What is the usual prescribed dose?"

"Less restraint, possibly mild euphoria."

The medical examiner replied: "Each tablet is 25mg, three times a day, no more than 150mg."

"How many pills did Prisla take the night she died?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"At least 200mg, that is, more than 8 tablets."

The medical examiner explained: "Judging from the corrosion of the gastric mucosa and the indigestion of some drugs, it shows that her body failed to absorb the drugs well."

"It's like a natural vegetarian who has been a vegetarian all his life. One night, he suddenly ate a piece of steak, which is difficult for the body to digest?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"Very similar."

The medical examiner nodded.

"So what Prisla's body is telling us, the information that she has never used drugs, that she is not a drug addict, from her family and friends, is true."

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone said.

"That's exactly what her medical condition tells us."

The medical examiner said professionally.

"If she suddenly wants to get high, 50mg is enough."

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone asked: "So why, in your expert opinion, did Prisla take eight pills?"

"To want to die!"

The medical examiner replied.

These are statements of basic facts, and the defense lawyers did not hold them back. The bald prosecutor directly applied for the second witness to testify.

According to the clues provided by Ross, the producer and director were found.

"When did Prielas start working for you?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone asked: "How many more movies has she been in?"

"I believe it was February of this year."

The director and producer looked helpless, but they could only tell the truth: "5 films, but none of them are starring roles."

If possible, he really didn't want to appear here, but after being found by Chuck, he was completely out of control, not to mention that the prosecutor could compel him to be summoned. The company can find him trouble at any time.

Not to mention the deterrence of the IRS senior consultant Detective Chuck.

"But she's about to star in your directorial star in this new movie?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone asked: "Does Pryras' mother know what that means?"

"Of course she knows!"

The producer and director laughed when asked: "She asked to read the script first. She needs to know the whole process in advance. She can't wait to get involved in the screenwriting and modify the plot and lines."

"Does Priella's mother know that her daughter is going to do a full set with a man in front of the camera in this new movie?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone weighs his words.

"She has been watching with her daughter for several months, and of course she knows what it is to be a leading actor."

The producer and director affirmed: "She has read the script and only wants to modify the plot and lines. She has no opinion on the main line of the movie."

"When are you going to shoot this new movie?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"December 5."

The producer and director replied.

"That's the morning after Prilles' suicide."

"Correct!"

"How did Prilles' mother explain her desire to change the plot and the lines?"

"She said that she is very familiar with acting and knows how to maximize her daughter's beauty and make her a hit."

"According to the statement of the defendant in the estate court, she said that Prilles wanted to be an actress since she was a child, and she was the same when she was Prilles' age, but she had no one to encourage her, so she wanted to give Prilles. Relais at its finest.

Why do these movies, she said that Priles wanted to act in front of the camera, but the school did not give this opportunity, about why she let her daughter star in small movies, her testimony is that Marilyn Monroe nude calendar all People thought it would ruin Monroe's career, but it turned out that Monroe became a shining star. "

Bald-headed prosecutor Ben Stone cites the mother beast's statement in estate court to circumvent the court's rule that no defendant should be on the witness stand to incriminate himself, and then looks to the producer-director on the witness stand.

"What do you think of this statement?"

"If I knew she had such eloquence, I would have asked her to be our publicity consultant."

The producer and director said with a smile: "What we lack most is such talents. Marilyn Monroe did make a nude calendar back then, but this is completely different from making a small movie. One is pure and static Luo Lu, The other is intense exercise... If you don't even know the difference between the two, then this person is either bad or stupid.

In fact, as long as anyone really enters this line of work, it has completely declared the end of the acting career, and he will no longer have access to mainstream art circles such as Hollywood and Broadway.

Even if you're not an insider, just think about it a little bit. Have you ever seen a small movie star become a mainstream star? "

"During the several months of filming in Purillas, the defendant accompanied you all the way as a mother. What is her attitude towards you?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone went on to ask: "The co-stars Ursula and Prieiras are friends?"

"She looked down on us, I heard her say we were drug addicts, she didn't even let her daughter talk to any of us."

Producer/Director: "Especially Ursula, because she's the most active druggie, and she strictly forbids her daughter to have anything to do with Ursula."

"I quote the statement of the defendant in the estate court, when asked her, was Prielas nervous when she was about to star in a small movie? She said that any character would be nervous when she was in a big role, and when asked her, Prielas came over When I approached her about being nervous, she told her daughter, I quote 'You should go to your friend Ursula, she's done a lot of movies'."

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone looked around the jury, and said with a dumbfounded smile: "Go to your friend Ursula, what a thoughtful suggestion and a friendly name, if we don't know that she is forcing her daughter to star in a small movie." How did the former despise this 'friend' Ursula and strictly forbid her daughter to have contact with him, does she really not know what this means?"

He said and looked at the producer and director: "How is Ursula doing now?"

"She was diagnosed with AIDS, deliberately spread it to cause AIDS in others, and was shot."

The producer and director bowed his head and replied.

"be opposed to!"

The defense lawyer stood up and objected: "This has nothing to do with this case!"

"The objection is valid."

The judge ruled.

"I'm fine."

Amidst the uproar, the bald prosecutor Ben Stone returned to his seat with a smile.

"Mr. Frow, did you propose to Priscilla to star in the new film?"

Defense attorneys began cross-examining.

"No, she came to see me."

The producer and director shook his head.

"Is her mother with her?"

The defense attorney asked.

"No, she came alone."

The producer and director shook his head.

"Do you have reason to believe that my client forced her, who is already an adult, to ask you for a role?"

asked the defense attorney.

"be opposed to!"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone immediately objected: "That's beyond the witness's knowledge."

"Mr. Stone, I am also very loose about your questions."

The judge said: "The objection is invalid!"

"I don't know, but it looks like this..."

The producer and director just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the defense lawyer in the most classic black and white: "Mr. Flo, please answer yes or no!"

The producer and director thought about it, and the best way not to get into trouble is to follow the other party and say 'no', because this is the most panacea and the safest way to say it.

But when his eyes met Chuck in the auditorium, his no-no became: "Yes."

"Yes?"

The defense lawyer was stunned, and looked over sharply: "Why do you think so?"

"It's basic common sense."

The producer and director said helplessly: "I have been in the industry for so many years, and I have never met a mother who brought her daughter to shoot..."

"These are all your subjective conjectures!"

The defense lawyer saw that the witness really did not follow his routine, and immediately interrupted: "You saw or heard with your own eyes that my client forced Priles to ask you for a role. Please answer yes or no?"

"be opposed to!"

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone immediately stood up to object: "The defense asked the question itself, but did not allow the witness to answer it in full, and immediately changed the question. .”

"Objection is valid!"

"The witness can answer the defense's previous question," the judge ruled.

"The normal people who come to shoot these small movies are all by themselves, how can they be accompanied by their mothers?"

Producer and director: "Not to mention the fact that the daughter is an adult, I really haven't heard of this situation except for the ones who are planning to shoot together.

The mother talked a lot, pointed out the country, and even wanted to change our script, but the daughter remained silent, with a numb and painful expression.

As long as you have seen the 5 movies she participated in, you can see it.

If it weren't for trying to add new elements, to see if this new character's performance, which is very different from the normal small movie full of laughter, can increase the appeal of the movie, I would not let her participate at all.

In fact, I have confirmed with her more than once whether she wants to act or not, because I don't want to cause trouble.

But every time she looked at her mother first and then nodded.

In such an obvious situation, everyone should understand what the situation is. "

In the audience.

"Isn't this the best training result in a small movie?"

Chandler couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "The daughter is completely the doll of the mother. This producer and director really has some ideas. I'm afraid that the reason why he agreed to the participation of such an uninvolved deceased is to play slowly. The idea of ​​convincing her mother to join her is indeed a genius who can think of making Ross spend money to be the leading actor."

"..."

Rose's face was dark.

Why are you using him as an example?

"There should be a market."

At this time, a strange female voice came from behind, Chandler and the others couldn't help but look back, their eyes were straight, especially Rose and Joey.

They have never seen such a beautiful woman so close.

"It's you."

But Monica recognized her. When the tall beauty smiled at her, she quickly pulled Chuck beside her, and whispered in his ear, "It's Vix Wieland!"

Chuck nodded slightly, but did not look back, his eyes still fell on the previous trial, and a new witness entered the scene.

Vix Wieland, who was sitting in the back row, saw Chuck like this, her eyes fell on the spectacle frame of Chuck's ear, and the corner of her mouth was half-smile, which was quite playful.
