Chapter 423 Witness without martial ethics, the Emperor of Japan appears quickly!

Monday.

New York Superior Court.

"Only one charge of second-degree murder and no discussion of a plea bargain at all?"

Mother Beast's defense lawyer saw the bald prosecutor Ben Stone before the trial and immediately said angrily: "You are abusing judicial power!"

"We have given you the opportunity. It is your choice to accept it or not."

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone said calmly: "As for only charging second-degree murder, we think this is the crime that the defendant should be prosecuted for. If you are confident that you can win this case, this is actually for you."

More advantageous, isn't it?"

"..."

The defense lawyer was speechless.

Because there is only one charge, and it is a felony such as second-degree murder, once the jury acquits, it is really an acquittal, and the case is completely said goodbye.

Even if evidence is found after investigation, the prosecutor will never be able to use this case to prosecute this beast mother based on the principle of no two cases being prosecuted.

So to some extent, this does benefit the defense.

But the premise is that the defense is confident of winning the case.

But when Chuck accompanied the bald prosecutor to the scene of jury selection, the defense lawyer who originally thought the case was very simple suddenly lost this confidence.

As a defense lawyer, he certainly knew that Detective Chuck had participated in the entire case, and also knew about Detective Chuck's incredible abilities.

Therefore, when selecting the jury members, he was very nervous and wanted to reject all the jurors that Chuck and the others had agreed with.

But this is just a beautiful imagination, the reality is that he cannot do this at all.

After the jury was selected, when he saw the bald prosecutor Ben Stone smiling and looking at Detective Chuck, and Detective Chuck nodded slightly, he had no confidence at all.

As long as the bald prosecutor is given a choice as before, he can plead with a lighter crime. He doesn't even ask for the lightest crime. He guarantees to convince his client to nod his head directly.

This way, hello to you, hello to everyone, how nice it is!

However, the bald prosecutor has no moral ethics at all. He didn't even give him a chance and directly asked him to accept the highest crime that his client could never accept, forcing him to devote himself wholeheartedly to fighting this lawsuit that was likely to lose.

It's simply too abominable!

"See you in court!"

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone ignored his confusion and annoyance and walked in with a smile and the African-American assistant prosecutor.

Chuck and a group of old friends came and sat in the audience, waiting for the trial to begin.

After all, Monica did not choose to invite her mother over, so that mother and daughter could watch this alternative mirror show together.

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American assistant prosecutor nodded to Chuck and walked to their seats in the front row. When the judge arrived, the formal trial began.

"Doctor, what effect does amitriptyline have?"

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone asked a medical examiner to testify.

"Relieves nervousness and symptoms of depression."

The medical examiner who testified replied.

"What if you take a large amount?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone went on to ask: "What is the typical prescribed dose?"

"It will reduce the sense of restraint and may cause a slight pleasure."

The medical examiner replied: "Each tablet is 25mg, three times a day, no more than 150mg at most."

"How many pills did Priscilla take the night she died?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"At least 200mg, which is more than 8 tablets."

The medical examiner explained: "Judging from the corrosion of the gastric mucosa and the fact that some of the drugs were not digested, it shows that her body failed to absorb the drugs well."

"It's like being a vegetarian who has been a vegetarian all his life, but suddenly ate a piece of steak one night and it was difficult for the body to digest it?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"Very similar."

The medical examiner nodded.

"So Prisela's body tells us that the information we got from her family and friends that she never took drugs and that she is not an addict is true."

said bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"Her physical condition tells us that is indeed the case."

The medical examiner said very professionally.

"If she suddenly wants to get high, 50 mg is enough."

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone asked: "So from your expert perspective, why did Priscilla take eight pills?"

"For wanting to die!"

The medical examiner replied.

These are statements of basic facts, and the defense lawyer did not hold on to them. The bald prosecutor directly applied for a second witness to testify.

Based on the clues provided by Ross, the producer and director was found.

"When did Prelas start working for you?"

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone asked: "How many more movies was she in?"

"I believe it was February of this year."

The director and producer looked helpless, but they could only tell the truth: "Five movies, but none of them are starring roles."

If possible, he really didn't want to appear here, but after being found by Chuck, he was completely unable to control himself. Not to mention that the prosecutor could force him to be summoned. If he didn't listen, what would happen to a little guy like him who was wandering on the edge of the law?

The company can cause trouble for him at any time.

Not to mention the intimidation of IRS Senior Advisor Detective Chuck.

"But she's about to star in your new movie Shining Star?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone asked: "Does Prielas' mother know what this means?"

"Of course she knows!"

The producer and director laughed when asked: "She asked to read the script first. She wanted to know the whole process in advance. She couldn't wait to intervene in the screenwriting and modify the plot and lines."

“Did Prielas’ mother know that her daughter was going to have sex with a man on camera in this new movie?”

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone weighs his words.

"She has been watching with her daughter for several months. She certainly knows what it is like to be a starring role."

The producer and director affirmed: "She has read the script and only wants to modify the plot and lines. She has no opinions on the main content of the movie."

"When are you going to shoot this new movie?"

asked bald prosecutor Ben Stone.

"May 8th."

replied the producer and director.

"That's the morning after Prelles committed suicide."

"right!"

"How did she explain Prellace's mother's desire to change the plot and lines?"

"She said she knew a lot about acting and knew how to maximize her daughter's beauty and make her an instant hit."

"According to the defendant's statement in the probate court, she said that Prylas wanted to be an actress since she was a child, and she did the same when she was Prylas's age, but she had no one to encourage her, so she had to give Porridge

The best environment in Relais.

Why do these movies need to be made? What she said is that Preles wanted to perform in front of the camera, but the school did not give her this opportunity. As for why she wanted her daughter to star in small movies, her testimony was that the Marilyn Monroe nude calendar was all

People thought it would ruin Monroe's career, but it turned out that Monroe became a shining star."

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone quoted the beastly mother's statement in probate court to circumvent the court's rule that the defendant cannot be allowed to testify against himself on the witness stand, and then looked at the producer and director on the witness stand.

"What do you think of these remarks?"

"If I knew she had such eloquence, I would have asked her to be our publicity consultant."

The producer and director smiled and said: "What we lack most is such talents. Marilyn Monroe did film a nude calendar, but this is completely different from making a small movie. One is a purely static Luo Lu,

The other is intense exercise... If you don't even know the difference between the two, then this person is either bad or stupid.

In fact, once you really enter this industry, your acting career will be completely over, and you will never be able to join the mainstream art circles such as Hollywood and Broadway.

Even if you are not an insider, just think about it and you will know, have you ever seen a small movie star become a mainstream star?"

"During the few months that Prelas was filming, the defendant, as her mother, accompanied her throughout the whole process. What was her attitude towards you?"

Balding prosecutor Ben Stone continued: "Are Ursula and Prielas, the co-stars who filmed the movie together, friends?"

"She looked down on us. I heard her calling us drug addicts and wouldn't even let her daughter communicate with any of us."

Producer and Director: "Especially Ursula, because she was the most frequent drug user, and she strictly prohibited her daughter from having any contact with Ursula."

"I quote the defendant's statement in probate court, when she was asked, was Priela nervous when she was about to star in a small movie? She said that any character would be nervous about starring in a big role. When asked, Priela came over

When she came to her and said she was nervous, she told her daughter, and I quote, 'You should go see your friend Ursula, she's done a lot of movies.'"

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone looked around at the jury and said with a dumb smile: "Go to your friend Ursula, what a thoughtful suggestion and friendly name, assuming we don't know that she is forcing her daughter to star in a small movie.

How did she despise this 'friend' Ursula before and strictly forbid her daughter to have contact with her? Does she really not know what this means?"

Then he looked at the producer and director: "How is Ursula doing now?"

"She was diagnosed with AIDS, deliberately spread it to cause others to contract AIDS, and was shot to death."

The producer and director lowered his head and replied.

"be opposed to!"

The defense lawyer stood up and objected: "This has nothing to do with this case!"

"Objection valid."

The judge ruled.

"I have no problem."

Amid the uproar of the crowd, bald prosecutor Ben Stone returned to his seat with a smile.

"Mr. Flor, are you proposing to Priscilla to star in a new film?"

The defense lawyer began cross-examination.

"No, she came to find me."

The producer and director shook his head.

"Is her mother accompanying her?"

the defense lawyer asked.

"No, she came alone."

The producer and director shook his head.

"Do you have any reason to believe that my client forced her as an adult to ask you for the role?"

the defense lawyer asked.

"be opposed to!"

Bald prosecutor Ben Stone immediately stood up and objected: "This is not within the scope of the witness's knowledge."

"Mr. Stone, my restrictions on your questions are also very loose."

The judge said: "The objection is invalid!"

"I don't know, but it looks like this..."

Just as the producer and director wanted to say more, he was directly interrupted by the defense lawyer using the most classic black and white language: "Mr. Flor, please answer yes or no!"

The producer and director thought for a while and decided that the best way to avoid getting into trouble was to just say "no" to the other party, because this was the most foolproof and safest way to say it.

But after his eyes met Chuck in the audience, what he said suddenly became: "Yes."

"yes?"

The defense lawyer was stunned and looked over with sharp eyes: "What reason do you have to think so?"

"This is basic common sense."

The producer and director said helplessly: "I have been in the industry for so many years, but I have never seen a mother bring her daughter to shoot..."

"These are all your subjective assumptions!"

The defense lawyer saw that the witness really did not follow his routine, and immediately interrupted: "Did you personally see or hear that my client forced Preles to ask you for a role? Please answer yes or no?"

"be opposed to!"

The bald prosecutor Ben Stone immediately stood up and objected: "The defense asked the questions themselves but did not allow the witnesses to answer them completely and immediately changed the questions. This is just to intercept answers that are beneficial to themselves without giving the witnesses a chance to truly testify.

.”

"Objection valid!"

The judge ruled: "The witness can answer the defense's previous question."

"Normally, people who come here to shoot these small movies come alone. How can they be accompanied by their mother?"

Producer and director: "Let alone my daughter who is still an adult. Apart from preparing to shoot together, I have never heard of such a situation.

My mother talked loudly, gave us advice, and even wanted to change our script, but my daughter remained silent and her expression was numb and painful.

You can see it if you have seen the 5 movies she participated in.

If it weren't for the purpose of trying to add new elements and see if this new character's performance, which is very different from the normal small movie and is all about laughter, can increase the appeal of the movie, I would not have let her participate at all.

In fact, I checked with her more than once whether she wanted to act or not, because I didn't want to get into trouble.

But every time she looked at her mother first and then nodded.

It’s such an obvious situation that everyone should understand what’s going on.”

In the audience.

"Isn't this the best training result in a short movie?"

Chandler couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "The daughter is completely the mother's puppet. This producer and director really has some ideas. I'm afraid that the reason why he agreed to the participation of such an uninvolved deceased is because he is slowly playing.

She must have persuaded her mother to come together, she is indeed a genius who came up with the idea of ​​letting Ross pay to be the leading actor."

"..."

Rose's face turned dark.

Why use him as an example again?

"There should be quite a market for it."

At this time, a strange female voice came from behind. Chandler and the others couldn't help but look back, their eyes widened, especially Rose and Joey.

They have never seen such a graceful beauty at such a close distance.

"It's you."

However, Monica recognized the other person. When the tall beauty smiled at her, she quickly pulled Chuck beside her, leaned into his ear and whispered in his ear: "It's Vickers Weiland!"

Chuck nodded slightly, but did not look back. His eyes were still on the trial in front, where a new witness entered the court.

Vickers Weiland, who was sitting in the back row, saw Chuck like this, her eyes fell on the glasses frame of Chuck's ears, and the corner of her mouth seemed to be smiling, which was quite amusing.
