After the temporary adjournment, several tainted witnesses gave testimonies one after another. Although it was different from what James said, basically, the general rule was that when Renault was involved in the crime, he behaved differently than usual.
Some said that little Reno was crazy, some said that he was in a daze, some said that he was shouting and screaming.
Lu Ming also asked questions about these tainted witnesses, but did not achieve very good results.
"In court, I request that my expert witness, Walker Barber, of the Institute of Psychiatry, Imperial College, be called."
After the last tainted witness left the stage, Richard bowed slightly.
It seems that Walker is a personable gentleman, sitting on the witness stand, giving people a very convincing feeling.
"Mr. Walker, are you correct that you issued a severe mental disorder report for Jeff Leno, also known as Mr. Leno Jr.?"
Walker nodded slightly: "Yes."
"According to your diagnosis, Mr. Reynolds, what mental problems do you have?"
“I have been living with him for half a month, observing him and testing him every day. He is a very smart person who has always hidden his serious mental problems, but in fact, under certain environmental stimulation, he will produce Severe hallucinations. After in-depth communication with his father, I have accurately determined the cause of his symptoms."
"Oh? So, please tell us, why did he get sick?"
Walker sighed: "Although the patient's privacy is involved, Mr. Renault also firmly disagrees with me disclosing his condition. However, in view of his lack of self-judgment and cognition, with the consent of his father, I am willing to speak in court. Testify."
"Before Mr. Leno Sr. invested in the film industry, the Leno family lived on a farm in the countryside. When Jeff Leno was four years old, a terrible case happened on that farm. Several farm workers were killed. It was a man from Middle-earth who killed Jeff Raynor's uncle. At that time, Jeff Raynor was hiding in the stable. He hid in the straw and witnessed the whole incident."
"He didn't show anything at the time, but in fact, the **** killing was deeply engraved in his mind."
""Shepherd's Song" was the music that was playing in the stable at that time. In addition, when he was in an environment with a lot of straw, Mr. Reno would also be greatly stimulated. In his imaginary world, he had to protect himself. , and the image of the people of Middle-earth will become demons, and he will kill those demons."
"I conducted multiple tests, communicated with him when he had a mental breakdown, and also made videos, and we can watch some of the clips."
Richard bowed slightly to the judge's bench: "I request that one of the clips be played."
Judge Demps nodded.
Jordan looked at Lu Ming. It seemed that Commissioner Lu’s most famous Kato case used movie clips. He never expected that the other party would imitate him.
Lu Ming's face was expressionless, thinking about something.
The thick curtains were drawn, and someone moved in the projector and curtain.
Soon, there was an image on the screen.
Moreover, there are recording devices playing at the same time.
Little Reno was sitting elegantly on the sofa, chatting with Walker. Next to him, there were several large posters with characters from all ethnic groups.
The topics are all related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Renault's views are very unique and he is considerate of the middle class.
The jurors all listened with rapt attention.
In the video, a piece of shepherd's music played, and little Reno suddenly trembled and his eyes became dull.
He suddenly stood up and walked towards the posters. He picked up a knife on the ground and stabbed one of the Central-Earth posters hard.
Walker walked over, stopped him, and asked him loudly: "What are you doing?!"
Little Reno was dumbfounded, "God is talking to me. He told me to kill all the devils, all the devils!"
Then, someone quickly moved all the props away. Little Reno walked back to the sofa and sat down blankly. After a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Walker asked him, don’t you remember what happened just now? ?
Little Renault shook his head in confusion.
Then Walker changed the topic, and he chatted with Walker as if nothing had happened.
Jordan frowned and whispered: "The family that makes the movie is so hypocritical!"
After the video clips were shown, the curtains were opened, and the court became extremely bright.
Walker continued: "We can see that Jeff Reynolds suffered a lot of mental trauma. The cause was that his favorite uncle was killed by several Middle-earth people. In his little soul, , casting a dark world that will never be erased, but in fact, if he is not provoked, he is gentle and polite, has unique insights into various affairs, and is a gentleman with compassion for others. ”
"He is a very pitiful man. I hope that I can continue to diagnose and treat him, thereby saving him from the dark world."
Most of the jurors had sympathetic looks in their eyes, and some were still wiping the corners of their eyes.
After all, many middle-class Westerners are still nostalgic for the good old days. In fact, in the East China Sea, the competitiveness of Zhongzhou people is very strong. Although their political status has not been high, there is no doubt that Zhongzhou people from all walks of life are There are more and more successful people, which has brought unprecedented pressure to many Western civilians.
And little Reno, who can undoubtedly be regarded as a young representative of Western gentlemen, experienced the brutal incident of Central-European thugs killing their relatives at a very young age. As a result, he was so stimulated that he went crazy, otherwise , What a good young man he must be.
His future was destroyed by the thugs from Middle-earth.
"Your Honor, I have no problem!" Richard bowed slightly.
Lu Ming walked up to Walker, "Actually, Mr. Walker, there is one thing you didn't mention. The murder that happened twenty years ago, on May 13, 930, was because Jim *Reno, the uncle of the deceased, Mr. Reno Jr., had an extremely cruel character and often tortured his employees in cruel ways..."
Jordan was stunned. Commissioner Lu had already noticed this case?
This is the first time I have heard of it.
Commissioner Lu is really meticulous in preparing the case.
"Objection!" Richard raised his hand, "We are not debating a case twenty years ago. From my information channel, Jim Raynor is a very friendly neighbor. If the debate continues like this, There will be no results. The key question is, what kind of person Jim Reno is has nothing to do with this case!”
Judge Demps nodded: "The objection is valid!"
Lu Ming looked at Walker, "Anyway, if you find the newspapers from that year, what kind of person was Jim Raynor? There are many reports and many negative factors."
"Prosecution, please pay attention to the guidance given by this court! Don't dwell on the character of a deceased person twenty years ago." Judge Demps frowned.
Lu Ming nodded: "Mr. Walker, do you think that Mr. Renault and his companions were all hallucinating when they brutally killed people?"
Walker looked at Lu Ming calmly, "First of all, I want to correct you. Those people are not Jeff Reno's companions, but the thugs who tempted Jeff Reno to commit crimes. They are the real criminals."
"Second point, yes, Jeff Raynor made mistakes while hallucinating."
Lu Ming nodded: "The mistake you mentioned was that real people were killed, and some were even brutally tortured and killed!"
Walker sighed, "But I have to say, in fact, having Jeff Leno there, those victims may have alleviated a lot of pain and reduced the time of torture. Although, Jeff Leno was in the hallucination , He did make a mistake, or it can be said that he committed a crime, but at that time, he could not identify or control his behavior, and he was not criminally responsible."
Lu Ming smiled: "Mr. Walker, are you a legal expert now?"
"Prosecution, watch your words!" Judge Demps frowned again.
"Mr. Walker, if you put it this way, do you think that little Renault can't be the organizer of the White Rose organization and the mastermind of these murders?"
"Yes, mentally ill patients do not have the ability to organize and plan carefully when they are in hallucinations."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, thank you Mr. Walker!" Looking at the judge's bench, "Sir, I have no problem."
Richard stood up: "Your Honor, in view of Mr. Walker's testimony, I request to summon the second defendant in this case again."
Booker sat on the witness stand again.
"Mr. Booker, you suddenly overturned the confession you gave at the police station and claimed that a staff member of Reno Pictures bribed you, so you were charged with being the organizer and planner of these murders. Is that so? ”
Booker nodded: "Yes."
"However, after your lawyer formally filed the report, the police just revealed that there are no staff members at Reno Pictures as you mentioned."
Booker tilted his head and said, "Maybe it's a pseudonym. Anyway, I know him. Jeff Leno often uses him to get in touch with me."
"Well, the person may be a pseudonym, or he may not even be from Reno Pictures, because according to your description, Reno Pictures does not have this person."
"So, where's the money?"
Booker was stunned: "What?"
"I mean, the money to bribe you! It should be a large sum of money to make you bear the responsibility for a crime that may be sentenced to death, right? Where is that money? Where is it now?"
Booker gritted his teeth, "I have an illegitimate son, and I gave the money to him. Moreover, I will not tell who he is or where he is, because the money will be confiscated."
Richard immediately shouted loudly: "You're talking nonsense! Because you suffered a gunshot wound when you were young, you can't have children at all! This is also the reason why you have become rough and fierce!"
Booker's face turned pale immediately.
Lu Ming nodded. The money should really be there. It might be in the hands of a very important person in Booker, but he had never found it. However, that was not the point anymore.
This reversal of the scene was brilliantly directed.
In front of the witness stand, Richard's voice was stern: "Actually, you are the mastermind of these murders, and you also lured Jeff Reno into your organization, making him participate in the murders without him noticing. event."
"How do you know, Jeff Reno, that under certain circumstances, he will lose control?!"
"I, I don't know!" Booker retorted loudly, but his expression was very flustered.
"You know, and it was you who carefully planned to control Jeff Leno in your hands, because, you know, the legacy left by your father cannot support you to continue your illegal activities, so, You began to look for new sources of funds, and you accidentally discovered Jeff Leno's secret, and you regarded Jeff Leno as a new target. You deliberately lured him to kill people unconsciously in order to blackmail him in the future and serve you. Provide activity funds, right? ”
"I didn't, what evidence do you have?!" Booker was a little angry.
"Objection! Object to the first defendant's lawyer's malicious speculation about my client!" Hancock stood up suddenly.
Judge Demps waved his hand, and Hancock could only sit down.
Richard stared at Booker, "Then why were Jeff Leno's murder photos found in your home?"
Booker's face turned pale.
Richard said calmly: "This is for you to use as a tool to blackmail Jeff Reno when your funds run out, right?"
Bow slightly to the judge's bench: "I have no problem!"
Booker's confession and other related matters have always been studied by Jordan, while the chief prosecutor Lu Ming dealt with Little Leno.
Looking at this scene now, Jordan felt chills in his heart.
He had nothing to ask, because Richard was helping him establish Booker's identity as the first offender.
However, all of this is just acting.
I am not a juror, I have various sources, and I have different perspectives on the issue.
Think about it just now when Hancock came to discuss the plea bargain.
I still think it’s a good deal, but Booker can’t be sent to the gallows, but he can be imprisoned for life in exchange for a strong witness against Leno. I can only say that apart from being a little regretful, this deal , totally worth doing.
But looking at it now, Lawyer Lu was right to ignore Hancock at all.
If he had just agreed to his plea agreement, then not only Booker would have escaped the death penalty.
Booker, who turned into a tainted witness for the prosecution, was exposed again when he was cross-examined by Richard.
This makes it even more solid that the prosecutors deliberately targeted Reno Jr., and even spared a cruel and cunning murderer who was full of lies to testify against Reno.
In this way, the prosecutor’s prosecution of Reno Jr. no longer has any credibility.
Fortunately, I escaped, although the situation involving the lawsuit involving Little Leno is still very bad.
But at least, there was no sudden death. Maybe, there is still hope?
Jordan turned his head and glanced at Lu Ming. If there was a second prosecutor, he might have to suggest that the charges against Renault be revised at this time.
In this way, if the outcome is good, little Renault may be locked up for a few years. If the outcome is bad, little Renault will also have to receive psychiatric treatment at home. It will take three or two years before he is declared cured, right?
But in the current situation, he is likely to be directly acquitted, because the charge he is being prosecuted for is the organizer and planner of a terrorist organization, and there is also a very old charge, the crime of endangering public safety in the first degree, or A crime that was formed at the end of the feudal empire. At that time, some criminal thieves and pirate leaders would be prosecuted with this crime. Once convicted of a first-degree felony, they would definitely be guillotined. But now, this crime is a long time ago. For a long time, no one has proposed to abolish this crime.
In short, these charges are somewhat unreliable.
However, he is the prosecutor.
Jordan had the suggestion on his lips, but he couldn't say it out. He always felt that the young-looking man sitting next to him was so deep that he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to mention it easily. What advice.
