The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 424 Defense lawyer: We will definitely appeal!
in court.

Ignoring the gaze of Vix Wieland behind him, Chuck watched the bald prosecutor Ben Stone apply for new witnesses.

It was the psychiatrist of the deceased.

The psychiatrist was unable to testify in court because of the restriction of the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement.

However, the estate lawyer introduced by Chuck helped the deceased's sister to fight the inheritance lawsuit and won the inheritance of the deceased's estate. Not only did she get the additional benefit of the animal mother's testimony in favor of this criminal lawsuit in the estate court.

The most important thing is to let the sister of the deceased who succeeded in inheriting the inheritance give up the confidentiality agreement between doctors and patients, so that the psychologist of the deceased can appear in court to publicize the content of his conversation with the deceased to explain the psychological condition of the deceased.

"Pryles is legally an adult, and if she doesn't want to make a small film, why shouldn't she?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone asks the most critical question in the case.

"Her mother has total control over her life."

On the witness stand, the deceased's psychiatrist replied: "Pryles has no power in this mother-daughter relationship between the two of them."

"She fell in love with a boy her mother disapproved of, she lied to avoid acting, and she even secretly found you as a therapist without her mother's consent."

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone uttered the dead man's act of defiance to challenge the psychiatrist's words, so that the psychiatrist could explain it more clearly to the jury and judge.

"Is self-expression really that difficult for her?"

"She lied to avoid a direct confrontation between herself and her mother."

The deceased's psychiatrist explained: "She was so used to suppressing her feelings that it didn't surprise me that sometimes she came into my office and couldn't say a word.

Because I learned from her that she has been controlled by her mother to participate in various audition performances since she was three years old, just like her sister's life. After living, she followed her mother alone, and she, who was regarded as the last hope of her novel career, accepted stricter control.

For so many years, she has only had her mother's instructions in her life. She has completely developed the mental imprint of obeying her mother. Even if she wants to resist, she dare not directly conflict, but expresses it in another way. "

"What kind of expression?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"She has beautiful long hair."

The psychiatrist of the deceased said: "She knew that her mother liked this hair very much. A month ago, she cut her hair herself, instead of cutting it into another hairstyle like Teacher Tony, but cutting it roughly like mowing grass. .”

"Doctor, this is a record of your discussion with Prilles about this matter. Please read the marked content aloud."

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone handed the psychiatrist a copy of the conversation file filed by the psychiatrist.

"Pryles: Once I start cutting, I can't stop."

"Doctor: Why are you doing this?"

"Prielles: Maybe...I don't know, mom said my hair was the best advertisement, I think if I didn't have it, I wouldn't know...Maybe she would understand."

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone and other psychiatrists finished reading it and asked: "Do you think this is a self-sabotage, doctor? Do you believe this will develop into more serious self-harm behavior?"

"Cut your hair, cut your body, that's what some kids say."

The psychiatrist of the deceased nodded: "Yes, if the situation has not been changed, or no one has stepped in to help, generally speaking, it will develop into more serious self-harm behavior."

"Doctor, did Prilles ever mention suicide to you?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"Indirectly."

The deceased's psychiatrist nodded.

"How about indirect?"

Pressed by balding prosecutor Ben Stone.

"She made a videotape of a monologue she did for an acting class and she took it to her mother and said 'hope she gets it'."

The deceased's psychiatrist said: "Just a week before Priles died."

"Your Honor, I now wish to play this tape in court."

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone applied immediately.

"The defense objected again!"

The defense lawyer quickly stood up and objected: "Mr. Stone insisted that her death was a suicide, and now he keeps trying to bring irrelevant things into it."

"I will have someone record your objection, and now I allow this video to be played for reference."

The judge decides directly.

But any normal person is disgusted by the defendant's behavior, let alone the judge is a female judge, and she is a mother, and she is even more disgusted by such a defendant.

Judges are human beings and cannot be truly impartial.

Therefore, going to court to prosecute and defend, in addition to making the necessary preparations, also depends on luck.

Because the choice of which judge to be in charge of the trial is based on lottery.

If you draw an inappropriate judge, you are already halfway to failure before you even start.

The defense lawyer didn't say anything more, and sat down weakly. Of course he knew what was in the videotape, and he had seen it. Once the videotape was played in court, it would definitely make the jury more sympathetic to the deceased. For his cause of all this The parties were even more disgusted.

Bald Prosecutor Ben Stone handed the prepared tapes to court staff for playback.

A close-up of the deceased's haggard face appeared on the screen, and he said to the camera: "Mom, are you awake? I can't sleep! I haven't slept for several days. Last night I looked at myself in the mirror in the dark. The only thing you can see is the whites of my eyes, you know how scared I am! Are you dreaming, Mom?

Remember Abilene?Towns pass by my window, I beg you to stop the train, Lexington, Nashville, Little Rock, I'm sick of 1000+ miles and you only care about making it to the audition!I hate you!Well, mom, you go to sleep, as for me, I'm getting out of the car, I'm too tired, when you wake up, don't be angry because I'm leaving, it's my turn to sleep. "

The desperation and pain of the deceased crying silently in the video moved everyone, but the jury saw the expression of the defendant watching the video under the reminder of the people next to him.

Unlike everyone's sympathy and pity, the defendant, as a mother, not only did not blame herself or feel guilty, but dragged her chin with both hands, smiling and proudly watching the inner monologue of her dead daughter in the video.

This strong contrast makes everyone shudder.

What a terrible beast mother!

"Your Honor, jurors, the situation is very clear. Priles followed his mother since he was a child, and was "entrusted with his acting dream" by his mother. Since he was three years old, he has not lived a normal childhood life, even if it is Even when she was sick, she was forced by her mother to take the train to catch a 1000-kilometer train to chase her dream showbiz."

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone walked to the jury and began his speech: "Her mother always said that this was her dream, and her mother was helping her, how I wish I had such a mother to help me become a big star when I was a child.

But is this really her dream?No!She cried and shouted to get off the train, for no other reason, because she was too sick to stay in the cramped and stuffy train, she hated her mother, but there was nothing she could do.

She couldn't get on the 1000-kilometer train, and she couldn't get rid of the control of her mother for more than ten years.

She fell in love with a boy, and the two fell in love with each other. When she really looked forward to life, her mother said to her, no!I don't approve of you being together, he will only drag you down to become a big star!You must break up with him.

She didn't want to, but she didn't dare to confront her mother who had been giving orders as long as she could remember. In the end, she had no choice but to break up with her boyfriend, who still doesn't know the reason.

Then her mother asked her to make small films, saying that the school could not provide opportunities to be photographed, and that she must develop the ability to perform in front of the camera.

But she clearly rehearsed the play with her classmates and even a TV star, and performed in front of the audience.

Anyone who knows something about show business should know that acting in a drama is more difficult than making a movie!
You can do it again in a NG, but on the stage of a drama, if you make a mistake, you will be booed by the audience, and there is no chance to do it again.

Priles can be on the stage of a drama, and she can monologue in front of the camera. Does she really have to participate in a small film shooting to have a sense of the camera?
I think you all have your own answers.

Prilles' mother insisted that she only let her daughter play a supporting role, to ensure that her daughter was only looking for feelings in front of the camera to exercise her ability. However, in the scene where there should only be laughter in the small movie, the supporting daughter's whole body was stiff and her face was numb and painful. Can't you see it as a mother?
I believe she has eyes to see.

But she didn't care as always.

Yes!

When she felt more and more silent resistance from her daughter, she no longer thought about sending her daughter to Hollywood to become a big star.

She must first ensure her daughter's absolute obedience to her.

So she knew that there is a well-known unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, that those who make small movies cannot enter Hollywood, so she still let her daughter go to make small movies to find the so-called sense of camera, and then let her daughter be the leading role, and made her previous statement that she firmly believed in guarantees. The hypocrisy that the daughter is just playing a supporting role to find the sense of the camera is completely torn away.

The daughter was extremely terrified, so she went to a psychiatrist, counseling, cutting off her own hair, and recording such an inner monologue, telling her mother that she was afraid, and begging her not to let her do such dirty things. things.

But as a mother, she completely ignored these performances, and even when her daughter finally couldn't bear it and told her that she was very scared, as a mother, she even asked her daughter to talk to "friend Ursula". Experience can help her.

But this so-called 'friend Ursula' was the poisonous rotten person she had said before, who would not let her daughter approach or talk to her at all.

After several months of filming together, her mother, who was on the sidelines, knew very well that Ursula took drugs before filming to assist the filming and reduce pain.

She knew, but she let her daughter do it anyway.

Once again, what I said before I slapped myself in the face.

Priras is only 19 years old, but if she is more than a year younger, let alone her mother forced her to death, just say that the behavior of mental abuse she said before was exposed early, and the defendant would have been arrested and sent to prison. The prison is closed.

Just because she is more than a year behind and has become a legal adult, her mother can use this as a reason to escape guilt, and push all this to Priles herself, saying that all of this is her own decision. Mother did nothing wrong!

Prilles is physically 19 years old, but since she was three years old and has been manipulated by her mother, is her actual mental age really 19 years old?

Will a real adult behave like this?

This is not a suicide case chosen by an adult, but a murder case in which a child who has been manipulated by his mother since the age of three was forced to death step by step by a psychopathic mother!
Before she died, like all murdered victims, she kept trying to survive and begged the murderer to let her go, but the murderer ignored her. In the end, she died in despair, repeating "I don't want to" before dying. Such' this sentence.

Yes!

She doesn't want to star in a small movie, she doesn't want to commit suicide by swallowing medicine!She is still a child, full of curiosity and expectation for the world.

But under the pressure of the murderer, she has no choice!

She didn't commit suicide, but was forced to kill by her own mother! "

The emotional speech reverberated throughout the courtroom. Under the unwavering gaze of the defense lawyer, all the members of the jury looked at the defendant with strong disgust and disgust.

Not to mention the jury, even the supposedly fair judge sat on it, looking at the defendant with the same evaluation as the judge in the inheritance court: "This is a disgusting mother!"

Facing the accusations, the neurotic mother-in-law suddenly became agitated and categorically shouted: "I did nothing wrong! Priles is an adult, she made her own decision! I just encouraged her to do what she wanted thing!"

"The defendant is silent!"

The judge interrupted immediately with a frown.

The defense lawyer also hurriedly stopped his client, and after apologizing, he gave his speech, but there was no evidence to prove what his client was thinking, so it was not murder anyway.

The jury goes in and comes out in no time.

The results are obvious.

The jury chosen by Chuck was naturally disgusted with this kind of thing, and the bald prosecutor Ben Stone played perfectly, exposing the ugly inconsistency of the defendant's words and deeds, and everyone understood that the deceased was indeed raped by the beast mother. Life and death.

In the trial, the evidence is very important, even knowing that the evidence is true, but because of the flaws in the procedure, the jury would rather choose not guilty verdict in order to avoid an injustice.

But sometimes evidence is a fart!

When all jurors are convinced that the defendant is guilty, weaker evidence is not an issue at all.

This is why the big law firm in Chicago was willing to pay a lot of money to ask Chuck to observe the jury with micro expressions.

"We will appeal!"

After the trial, the defense lawyer routinely rants: "Your release of the video tape is seriously detrimental to my client. The Court of Appeal will take over this case! The Court of Appeal does not have a jury manipulated by you, it only respects the law itself!"
