The Lawyer
Chapter 29: Joshua Dale Case (4)
Jim Cumming was stiff and cold from the scalp to the soles of his feet.
He was like a goose with his neck pinched, his mouth open and gasping for breath, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. Even the hair that had caught the wax was pulled down, showing a poor-quality greasy luster.
The prosecutor's lawyer Lu sitting in the seat also had a blank face, stared at Gu Yan for a while, and then turned his attention to the witness seat.
He suddenly regretted why he didn't check all the details with the witness beforehand. Or to put it another way, when he contacted witnesses before the court, he explained so many small and large considerations, why did he not think of this.
The silence of the entire court lasted for about four or five seconds, and it boiled.
The people in the auditorium finally recovered and watched the witnesses begin to talk, and the sound penetrated into Jim Cumming's ears, but they could not hear the complete words.
His face was flushed because of excessive alcoholism all year round, and his cheeks even turned a little purple.
"I ..." He opened his mouth and glanced around. Obviously he couldn't stand his feet. "But ... I ..."
Gu Yan waited for a moment and did not wait for more explanation. He was not surprised by this situation, but he threw the paper back on the table and the electronic page returned to its original position instantly.
"Unfortunately, I failed to hear a reasonable explanation. So, can I doubt your motive?"
He said this very calmly.
In fact, throughout the court debate, he behaved very calmly, with no enthusiasm, no intentionally raising or lowering the tone, and no inflammatory tone. From the beginning to the end, he is a cold look, which matches his slightly cold tone.
He can make various analyses of Jim Cumming ’s motives, and any one is enough to make this person completely collapse on the witness stand.
But there is no need to spend this tongue.
Just like the truth that someone once said-for a jury or other person with a tendency, giving a lead to let them draw their own conclusions is more effective than any other method.
People in the audience have made various guesses. For example, Jim Cumming is the murderer. This perjury is to cover up the truth of his murder and to blame others for the crime.
Another example is a perennial drunken drunkard. No one puts him in his eyes. He always thinks he is bragging and drunk. One day, his words suddenly had a sense of existence, which was so important that he could even decide a person's life. He stood on the witness stand, everyone would be quiet, betting his eyes on him, listening carefully to everything he said word. This difference of salted fish roll-over is enough for him to get vanity and satisfaction.
...
These thoughts that the audience will have, the jury will also have.
The prosecution lawyer, Lu, couldn't help but turned his head to look at the jury above the high seats, and the ladies and gentlemen were also talking briefly, with a face of seriousness or disgust.
Lu turned back silently, only to feel that this court trial, his head suddenly painted a capital "to be finished."
Jim Cumming fell from heaven to **** in countless or distrustful or contemptuous eyes. This general experience of jumping from a building made it difficult for him to parry, dizzy and almost unable to stand.
It happened that at this time, Judge Mori Liu knocked the mallet with a bang, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet!"
The hammer gave off, and Jim Cumming in the witness's seat shuddered, and his eyes rolled over on the spot.
Generally speaking, in the courts around Decamana, this important witness testimony has huge flaws. The defense represented by Gu Yan will make a direct ruling, and Shiyou ** will be accepted and get a more ideal effect.
However, Judge Mori Liu ’s **** was still crooked, so the motion ruling was rejected.
He just asked the bailiff to take Jim Cumming out for follow-up enquiries, and the court trial continued unaffected.
When the old guy knocked on the mallet, Yan Suizhi, who was sitting behind Gu Yan, moved his pen reluctantly.
The former dean of the Tangtang Law School, the former first-level lawyer, raised his eyebrows with Erlang's legs and drew a turtle on the paper ...
The brush strokes are abstract and chic.
The most suffering is Joshua Dall on the dock.
He felt like a pheasant with a neck around him. He was pressed on a chopping board ten minutes ago, chopping his head with a kitchen knife. Seeing that he was going to die, he was rescued by another person with a knife and escaped.
However, he just got off the ground and ran with his claws for two steps. He was caught again before he gasped for breath.
Once again, he put his head on the chopping board irreparably, and felt that life was so **** fucking, so that he would not let him go, so he basically had no hope.
This time, he felt like he was in jail below his neck, leaving his head still dying.
For this situation, Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi were already mentally prepared.
After the direct ruling is rejected, the trial will enter the stage of the defense's proof. Gu Yanbafeng stood still on the defense bench and reached out his hand to wipe the playback control key. The huge holographic screen in the courtroom instantly switched the content, showing the on-site footprint identification record form submitted by the police trace inspection department.
After the application, the prosecutor stood in the witness seat and answered the question raised by Gu Yan.
"Trace Prosecutor Chen?"
"Yes."
"Is this footprint identification record form submitted by your hand?"
Chen nodded: "Yes."
"The content is very clear." Gu Yandao, "But in order to avoid unnecessary problems, I still need to confirm some details with you."
"Ok, no problem."
"Line 3 on page 2 of the record sheet, the total length of the shoe print is 27.5 cm, the forefoot is 14.5 cm, the width is 9.3 cm, the arch length is 6.3 cm, the width is 6 cm, the heel length is 6.6 cm, and the width is 6 cm. The trace is estimated to be about 1.5 cm thick. "
Gu Yan drew a line on the holographic screen with the control light to make it easier for everyone to find this sentence.
"Is there any error in this part of the data?"
Chen shook his head, "No, the footprint information provided to the Trace Inspection Department is very clear, and there will be no errors. The only error is the thickness of the heel."
"What is the error value?"
"Floating up and down by 0.05 centimeters." Chen said, adding another sentence, "This error value is not enough to affect the analysis results of shoe prints, it is too small."
Gu Yan: "Is this the only error?"
"Very sure."
Gu Yan nodded.
Prosecution lawyer Lu: "..."
Do not know why, Gu Yan nodded, he began to panic inexplicably. Generally speaking, when the footprints are taken out individually, most of the questions will be focused on the height of the suspects judged by the footprints.
If you really ask about this, Lu has nothing to worry about, because there is an error range in height, no matter whether the jury or the judge knows this point, so writing about it in court will not produce What impact is difficult to shake.
As a result, the defense lawyer asked only the heel?
What the **** is this?
Gu Yan wiped the playback controller calmly with another look, and this time the holographic screen finally showed the new evidence he and Yan Suizhi collected in the past few days. He picked the first of many surveillance videos, that is, the video of the lamb chops shop, and directly pulled the progress bar to the position of 7:55 on the 23rd.
The people in the entire court looked up and watched a man's head appear on the window of Kitty Bell's house in the video, because the vapour was blurred.
Gu Yan pressed Pause, and then implanted this video directly into the stereo map of the old city.
He adjusted the map to a cross-sectional mode. On the way, the red dot in the lamb chops store represented the position of the camera, and the red dot in the Kitty Bell family represented the top of the suspect's head at the time of the incident.
"Thanks to modern technology." Gu Yan was still calm, "All distances on the map are marked, trace prosecutor, I think you can calculate from the data on the map, how tall the suspect needs to be, Only under the premise of these obstacles, this part of the hair is exposed. "
In fact, there is no need to calculate manually. In the map interface, as long as you select that point and gently tap the button, the value will be automatically obtained.
Chen subconsciously reached out and touched the playback control button on the witness stand. The red dot on the screen representing the suspect jumped, and there was an additional value next to it: "182.3 cm, the error value floats up and down by 0.2 cm."
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and picked out Joshua Dale's identity information and registration information detained in the detention center.
"My client Joshua Daller has a net height of 176 centimeters, which is the measured value of the detention center." Gu Yan shook the simulated paper sheet, and said coolly: "Even with the heel height inferred by the footprint identification table, Far less than 182.3 cm. "
"Excuse me, is the data from the detention center faked or the footprint identification form faked?"
Chen: "..............."
What else can he say? He couldn't say anything, and everything that could be imagined, such as errors, was blocked by Gu Yan in the previous inquiry.
The audience fell silent again.
Five seconds later, there was a greater uproar than before.
Joshua, who was forced into a glass cover, bored for two seconds and sat straight up, looking at Gu Yan blankly, unable to believe what he heard.
He wandered in this daze for a long time. When the heart was found and the five senses finally recovered, the judge had knocked the mallet with a stretched face, and had to be pushed by the facts and pressure. The jury gave a ruling.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, do you have an answer?"
Murray Liu looked at the jury and Shen Sheng asked this sentence.
The audience's eyes fell on the high jury seat. Joshua felt that he had solidified all over his body. He had never been so nervous in his life. His entire life should be put on this answer.
The head of the jury nodded in silence, "Yes, we have a decision."
Murray Liu: "Guilty or innocence?"
Holding his breath, the head of the group's calm voice sounded in the courtroom, enough for everyone in the courtroom to hear--
"Innocent."
Released in court.
