The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 497 Frightened and desperate no, and always have to say yes!

"Yes."

In a waking state, the defense lawyer asked her dead daughter if she was afraid of her, and Mrs. Rohenstine nodded in shame.

"When Didi was injured and hospitalized, the police once found you and wanted you to go to the hospital to see your daughter Didi."

The defense attorney pressed, "You keep the police detectives at your door, don't you?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Rohenstein nodded.

"Not only that, but you also suddenly attacked Detective Amy Santiago who was there and slapped her in the face, didn't you?"

asked the defense attorney, looking her in the eyes.

Detective Amy Santiago, in the gallery, darkened.

This embarrassment is over, isn't it?

"Why did you do that?" the defense lawyer asked aloud after Mrs. Rohenstein admitted again.

"I do not know."

Mrs. Rohenstein was a little confused.

"You do not know?"

The defense lawyer looked around the jury: "Isn't it because you have a super possessive desire for your husband, so you can't see other women approaching him in any way? And this even includes your own daughter, so you are so abusive Dee Dee, beat her to death!"

"No! The defense lawyer is guessing at the witness's subjective opinion."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone rose again to object.

Facing such a mentally ill witness who is still disliked or even disgusted by everyone, it is really difficult to be her 'companion'.

"I withdraw the question."

Before the judge could make a decision, the defense lawyer raised his hand and pretended to withdraw his question.

But the problem of speaking out has already had a real impact.

The jury is also thinking that such a drug-addicted, perverted possessive psychopath suddenly attacked an irrelevant female police detective just because the female police detective came to her daughter's matter to routinely ask her husband's whereabouts. .

Is it true that her husband asked her to train her daughter to be a perfect wife and serve together?
Or her groundless speculation?

She also regarded her daughter Didi, who was unwilling to get close to her because she was in a state of drug addiction, and only wanted to get close to her husband, as one of her rivals in love, and fantasized about those malicious intentions, so that she could abuse her daughter Didi with peace of mind, and destroy her fantasies. Rival?

It's not impossible!

After all, the victim, the little girl Didi, was only molested, unlike the little girl on the U.S.-Mexico border where at least 65 types of DNA were detected in her body.

There is no way to prove that it must have been done by Dr. Ronstein, who is the father.

"Mrs. Rohenstein, what do you usually call your husband?"

Executive Assistant Attorney Ben Stone got up and walked over to Mrs. Rohenstein again when the defense attorney triumphantly returned to his seat.

"Honey."

While Mrs. Rohenstein was speaking, she looked affectionately at her husband in the dock.

"anything else?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone watches her.

"baby?"

Mrs. Rohenstein thought about it.

"Is it just these two?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone raised his voice sharply, and moved out of his position while speaking, so that Mrs. Rohenstine, who was startled by the sudden increase in voice and looked up, could just see Chuck in the gallery.

Chuck looked at her blankly.

"Dad, pookie is scared!"

Mrs. Rohenstine shuddered, not daring to look at Chuck, and looked at her husband in the dock with a crying voice.

The audience was in an uproar again!

Not only because Mrs. Rohenstine calls herself pookie (dear, sweet) and her husband as daddy, but also because when Ronstein said this, the expression and tone of a little girl who is frightened and afraid to find her father, Although it was disgusting, it was full of emotions and lacked acting skills. In the eyes of everyone, there was no need to say anything, and everything was understood.

The corner of the defense lawyer's mouth twitched, and he looked at his client helplessly. It was really fun.

As soon as this affectionate title came out,

The wife called her husband, dad, like a panicked little girl. The impact was too strong, especially for this case, which directly abolished his efforts just now.

If you can make your wife call you dad, then what your wife said before, about training people with three views, perfect wife, serving together, etc., will most likely not be true!
"Mrs. Rohenstein, what do you call your husband Daddy?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone pressed, "Why?"

"Because he is."

At this moment, Mrs. Rohenstine seemed to have turned into a little girl, looking at her husband eagerly, and kept calling.

"The prosecution has brought in Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, a psychiatrist, to testify."

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone stopped questioning Mrs. Rohenstein and went straight to the next witness.

Before he appeared in court, he knew that the defense lawyer would definitely make a fuss about Mrs. Rohenstein's mental state, so he was naturally prepared.

"allow."

The judge agreed.

Leonard Jr.'s mother, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, a well-known psychiatrist, walked in and took the witness stand.

"Dr. Hofstadter, you have done a psychiatric appraisal for Mrs. Rohenstein. As an expert, how do you view Mrs. Rohenstein's mental state?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone inquired.

"Well."

Dr. Beverly Hofstadter raised her eyes and said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Rohnstein's mental state shows obvious signs of artificial distortion, destruction and reconstruction."

"Can anyone do it?"

asked Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone.

"of course not."

Dr. Beverly Hofstadter shook her head: "You must be an excellent psychiatrist or psychologist to do it. Of course, if there is a calf to assist, a third-rate psychologist can also do it."

Having said that, she also took a look at Dr. Rohenstine in the dock, and she almost said that in her eyes, Dr. Rohenstine was a third-rate psychiatrist.

But she is indeed qualified to say this.

"Mrs. Rohenstine calls her husband Dad and calls herself Pookie. As an expert, can you tell us how you understand it psychologically?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone looks on at the jury.

Although everyone knows what's going on, he still wants to emphasize this again, let everyone listen to how the expert witness understands this title, so as to completely clear away the doubts in the minds of everyone on the jury, so that they can all abandon their suspicion of perverts. Dr. Rohenstine's last flicker of good-natured imagination.

When Dr. Beverly Hofstadter casually uttered professional words such as "attracted by young children", "abnormal psychology", and "the difference between zero and countless times", the faces of the jury became more and more ugly.

The defense lawyer and the defendant discussed with each other in a low voice, then stood up and applied for the defendant to be on the witness stand.

At this time, there is only a desperate fight.

"Dr. Ronstein, did you abuse Dee Dee?"

asked the defense attorney.

"Dee Dee was a ray of sunshine in my life, I never abused her, I hugged her a lot and shielded her from Cara, I just realized now that Carla was totally crazy, even she said I didn't abuse Didi, it was them who used legal terms to distort the truth."

The defendant argued very frankly on the witness stand: "I love her from the bottom of my heart!"

The defense attorney nodded to end the questioning and let the prosecution begin cross-examination.

"You love your daughter Dee Dee from the bottom of your heart?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone came over: "Hug her often, protect her?"

"Yes!"

The accused nods.

"And do you know that your daughter Didi is malnourished?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone looked at him coldly.

"Dee Dee won't eat without me."

The defendant took it for granted: "We often held hands and she would say 'hold tight, Daddy'!"

"You are a psychiatrist, do you think this is normal?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone questioned.

"...I tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen, and there was nothing I could do."

The accused paused.

You don't need to be a psychiatrist, even ordinary people know that this is of course abnormal.

"Since you know she's abnormal, you, as a father and a psychiatrist, can't persuade her to eat without your company, so what efforts have you made?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone asked: "Such as finding a good psychiatrist to help her deal with this abnormal mental state that may endanger her health?"

"No."

The defendant quibbled: "I just tried my best to ensure that I could go home in time and have dinner with her. She is still too young, and it is not appropriate to find a psychologist for her now."

"Get home in time to dine with her?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone sneered: "After our investigation, you did not do this at all. You are rarely at home, and you often travel on so-called business trips, but this business trip is to in-depth link with female patients in your clinic. Rechian's psychotherapy, which caused Didi to suffer from malnutrition, is this what you call loving her from the bottom of your heart?"

"That's my job! I need to support a family, don't I?"

The defendant said angrily: "As long as I am at home, I will care about her and protect her!"

"As long as you are at home, you will care about her and protect her?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone immediately seized the conversation and confirmed.

"Yes!"

The defendant paused, and nodded in affirmation.

"Mr. Ronstein, you testified that you came home just before midnight and your wife told you about her beating Diddy earlier that night, correct?"

asked Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone.

"I didn't expect it to be this serious."

The defendant suddenly bowed his head guilty, and said vaguely.

"You also testified that when you came home, Dee Dee was lying on the living room floor, still in her school uniform, correct?"

the executive assistant U.S. attorney pressed.

"...I thought she was asleep."

The defendant reluctantly explained.

"Dee Dee often sleeps on the wooden floor all night with nothing on her body?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone said coldly.

"of course not."

The defendant couldn't take it any longer.

no way.

Seeing his lies about caring for his daughter Didi being completely denied by the prosecutor with his own testimony bit by bit, this powerlessness and panic is really uncomfortable.

"So did you go up to Dee Dee and check if she's okay?"

"I didn't feel that was necessary at the time."

"Even if there's blood all over her head?"

"I didn't see it."

"I did not see it?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone took out a photo of the evidence angrily: "Please look at the prosecution's exhibit No. 37. This is the blood stain on the floor of your living room under Didi's head. This blood stain is large enough to 70*95 cm, bigger than Didi, you can see Didi, but tell me you didn’t see such a big puddle of blood?!!!”

"It was very dark in the room at the time, and few lights were on..."

The defendant had already stuttered.

"So you do nothing?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone said loudly: "Let Didi, who was obviously wronged by his wife, lie motionless on the floor in her school uniform, neither call her to the hospital for treatment, nor ask her about it. How about it, I didn't even want to get closer to take a look, so that I didn't see such a big pool of dazzling blood that was much bigger than her whole body'.

Well, you can open your eyes and say it's dark at night, but what about the next morning?The sun has come out, so a large pool of blood has not disappeared out of nowhere, why did you still do nothing?
Let Dee Dee go to school with such an injury and then not get medical treatment in time and die, but if you pay her even the slightest attention to strangers, she could not die, and then you tell us all, you are How to care about her and love her? ! ! ! "

"You're distorting every word I say!!!"

The defendant had a violent tendency. Seeing that he was exposed in public by the executive assistant prosecutor Ben Stone, he could no longer pretend and control his temper.

At this point in the trial, the outcome is already doomed.

The jury came out soon after entering, and all the charges against the defendant were found guilty.

The judge accepted the guilty result, and then began to pronounce: "Sitting in this seat, I think I have seen all the ugliness and bestiality, but for you, contempt is no longer enough to express my feelings, and now this court sentences you to accumulate 32 years to life imprisonment for the crime!"

The defendant was silent.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is no longer suitable for him to make any statement other than low-key acceptance and Xu Tu's plan.

"I still feel uneasy!"

Monica sighed as she, Rachel, and Chuck walked out together after the trial.

"This is not the end."

Chuck said blankly.

"Isn't it?"

Rachel asked curiously.

Chuck didn't answer her, but just looked at the defendant who was being escorted into the prison car from a distance. Rachel looked along and asked with flickering eyes: "Are all the prison legends in TV dramas true?"

Dr. Jacob Ronstein, who has been convicted, got on the prisoner bus and drove to the severe punishment prison. He was still actively constructing his mind. According to the American prison tradition, he always had a chance to come out in his lifetime.

He is a psychiatrist, professionally.

So although painful and angry, but not desperate.

However, when the prisoner's bus arrived at the prison, completed the ceremony of entering the prison, and entered his prison, he saw the strong man who got up from the bed and covered the sky like a cloud of dark clouds, and he was so short that he had to tilt his head back To be able to look at the roommate with this classic skin, even if the other party only shows a funny smile in the eyes of God, but in his "petite" eyes, it still makes him feel horrible, no matter how good the psychological construction skills are. I can't help but feel the fear and despair from the bottom of my heart.

"Do not!!!"

"You should say yes! You can only say yes in the future! Daddy is home~"

"..."
