www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
In criminal cases tried in the Western District, the juries are almost all Westerners, and the "Little Reynolds Case" is no exception.
It was originally a massacre by a radical organization, but under the exaggeration of the Western media, it turned into an unfortunate incident in which a nobleman suffered mental frustration and committed murder. Most Western media called this case " "The Case of Reno Jr."
Hancock's defense against Booker was not successful. Jordan, who sat in the position of the second prosecutor for the prosecution, mainly focused on Booker's crimes and showed his atrocities to the jury, including some shocking ones. Photos of the victim resonated strongly with the jury.
However, when Jordan mentioned in an insinuating way that little Leno was involved in some of the atrocities, the jurors were all silent.
"Booker, when this poor girl you call grocery store piggy was cut into pieces by you, Jeff Raynor, the first defendant, was also present, and he cut off the girl's arm. "?" Jordan asked Booker on the witness stand.
Booker has big shoulders and a round waist, and is covered in tattoos. Moreover, he has a fierce face that makes people unfavorable at first sight.
"Objection!" The person who raised his hand was Richard, Jr.'s defense attorney.
On the contrary, Booker's defense attorney Hancock, from his perspective, it is not a bad thing for his client to take away some of the blame from Reynolds.
"I have no problem for the time being!" Jordan bowed slightly to Judge Demps and returned to the prosecution seat.
Richard stood up and walked slowly to Booker.
"Excuse me, how is your relationship with Jeff Reno, the first defendant in this case, Mr. Reno Jr.?"
Booker thought for a while and said, "We have a very good relationship."
"According to the testimony of many witnesses, you two often talk secretly together, right?"
"Yes, we will discuss together who is the next target and how to hunt the target..."
"Objection!" Richard's expression immediately changed, "That's not the statement the second defendant gave at the police station!"
In the prosecution seat, Jordan was also stunned, and looked at Lu Ming in surprise. Could it be that Commissioner Lu exerted some pressure?
Hancock stood up: "My client admitted to me an hour ago that he accepted a bribe from a staff member of Renault Company, so he gave a false confession! I will make a formal report when this court is over. !" He felt a little proud. Originally, the reward for this case was very good, so if he took it casually and lost the lawsuit, it wouldn't have any impact. But now, the prosecutor is clinging to Little Renault. If he takes the opportunity, he will definitely lose it. Little Reno has become the main planner of these cases, and if he can get rid of Booker on one or two charges, it can be said that he has defeated Richard in this case from a technical perspective. This is something he never dreamed of. the result of.
Furthermore, it was as if God was favoring him. His client suddenly confessed to him that he had accepted the bribe from Renault, so he took all the crimes on himself, and he found that if he was convicted, he would not be able to escape. After going to the gallows, I regretted it very much, so I asked myself if there was any way to reduce the punishment, at least without death.
That's why I planned this court raid.
Even if Richard had a deep talk with him, he hoped that he and he could maintain a front.
Morally, I don’t feel any pressure.
Among co-defendants and suspects, in fact, most of the time, there is a hostile relationship. If you reduce the penalty, my client's penalty will be increased accordingly.
Looking at the frowning Richard in front of the witness box, Hancock sneered in his heart. If you didn't expect it, you can only say that you underestimated me.
"In court, I request to summon the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 13th defendants!" Richard looked towards the judge's bench.
These defendants are defendants in some individual cases and defendants in the entire White Rose organization. They are also tainted witnesses in the Little Reno case. They were among the several murders in which Little Reno was involved.
Jordan, I'm a little sorry for them. These people, as tainted witnesses, during the plea bargain, the prosecutor only reduced the crimes of the cases in which they and Reno Jr. were involved, but did not reduce the charges of other cases. As promised, their lawyers, who were basically legal aid lawyers, went through the motions and did not do their job to explain to them the key points. Therefore, they ended up on the gallows, but they themselves did not know it.
But thinking about what these people did, Jordan's sense of shame gradually disappeared.
The third defendant, named James, is a big, ugly man.
Richard slowly walked up to him, "James, how did you meet Mr. Reynolds?"
"Booker introduced us." James said naively.
"How did Mr. Booker describe Mr. Reynolds Jr. to you?" asked Richard.
"Booker said that this new friend is very rich, but a little stupid and has a brain problem."
"This new friend refers to Mr. Reynolds, the young man sitting in the first defendant's seat now, right?"
"Yes."
"There is something wrong with his brain. Did Booker say that? Why do you say Mr. Reynolds has something wrong with his brain?"
"That's not true, but I know why Booker said that!" James licked his thick lips and smiled, "They all think I'm stupid, but actually I'm not stupid!"
"Then tell me, why is there something wrong with little Mr. Reno's brain?"
"When we took him to play, we never told him what to play. This was also what Booker told him. However, before each play, we would play the music of "Shepherd" in the cabin and then put the prey into the cabin. If you bring him in, he will become like a madman, very crazy..." James laughed and shook his head.
"I have no problem for now!" Richard bowed slightly to the court.
Jordan stood up and took two steps, "Mr. James, the 'play' you are talking about is the cruel killing of living people. The 'prey' you are talking about was the tragedy on March 9 last year. The victim was a thirteen-year-old girl with excellent academic performance. Now, please describe how you killed her."
Richard immediately raised his hand: "Objection, this is the prosecution's emotional manipulation of the jury!"
Jordan looked at the judge's bench and said, "Your Honor, I just want to confirm the specific behavior of Jeff Leno in this case."
Judge Demps waved his hand: "The objection is invalid."
James giggled: "I slashed once, Abel slashed a second time, and a few other guys slashed a few more times. Little Mr. Reno was in a daze, but suddenly he went crazy. He is the craziest. He was able to slash at the corpse, seven or eight times in a row."
Jordan frowned and suddenly realized that this guy was actually not stupid at all. Under his description, the originally **** scene became no longer so terrifying. The victim became a symbol, and... It is possible that his description of little Reno would be used by Richard again in the future.
"Before the victim died, where exactly did you chop?"
Charles immediately raised his hand: "Objection, the relevant detailed description should be used in the trial of case number 950092161. In this case, the witness has already answered the specific behavior of Jeff Reno."
"The objection is valid and the witness does not need to answer." Judge Demps waved his hand.
Jordan nodded and looked at James, "For Jeff Leno, you used crazy to describe it. How do you define crazy and normal people? For example, were you in a crazy state when you killed people?"
Charles raised his hand: "Objection. The witness is not a professional. What he said about madness is just our common sense. The prosecution is forcing him to define it."
"Objection valid."
Jordan wanted to ask more, but when he saw Lu Ming's gesture, he had no choice but to nod: "I have no problem!"
Turn around and walk back to your seat.
Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "If it were me, I wouldn't do it better."
Jordan shook his head, a little frustrated.
"Adjourn the court for ten minutes!" Dempsey banged the gavel, naturally it was time to go to the toilet.
While everyone was free to move around, Hancock came over and handed over a piece of paper, which he placed on the prosecution table.
It read, "Life imprisonment, charges against Leno Jr."
After Jordan saw it, his heart immediately moved. If he reaches a plea agreement with Booker and Booker accuses Leno, it may be the best solution to this lawsuit.
Lu Ming shook his head: "The gallows."
Hancock stared at Lu Ming with a sullen face for a while, then turned and left.
