Chapter 20 The twentieth round of famous lawyers cleverly frustrated the judge angrily reprimanded Bajie

This appearance immediately achieved unexpected results.Ordinary audiences thought that this heinous mafia must be a brutal, rude and stubborn street rascal, but no one expected him to be such a devout believer.So the audience was in awe, and the hostility immediately eliminated three points.

Ladies and gentlemen, why does Mr. Elf and Oddity dress up like this?It turned out that this was all arranged by his defense attorney, the famous Mr. William J. Furlan.According to the rules of the mafia, if some important person among them is arrested, then there is no need for the prisoner to worry about it. Someone will spend a lot of money and hire the most prestigious lawyer to defend him. Try to rescue again.But Elf Weird was arrested this time, but he himself captured his party members alive, and called the police station himself, which was a complete act of betrayal. In this way, the mafia would naturally not care about him anymore.Fortunately, the elf has been a robber for more than 20 years and has deposited 500,000 dollars in furniture in the bank.He knew that he had done a lot of evil, and the evidence was overwhelming.If you don't invite the best lawyers and use an unexpected trick, the trial will definitely be a disaster, and your life will be in danger.After all, the elf is worthy of being a resourceful and decisive person. At this critical moment, he did not hesitate to spend half of his entire family property, that is, 250,000 US dollars, and hired Mr. William J. Furlan.This person is recognized as the most outstanding defense lawyer in the United States. He is not only proficient in legal provisions, but also has a lot of research on social psychology. He is scheming and unpredictable.His eloquence is enough to raise the dead and restore sight to the blind.Prior to this, he had defended 127 murderers, but none of them were sentenced to death.In the American legal circle, he is known as the "universal lawyer".After Mr. Furren was hired, he read all the files of the elves from the police station and found that the case was extremely unfavorable to the elves. According to the law of New York City, the evidence held by the police was enough to sentence him to three death sentences plus 360 years in prison. And more than enough.If we deny these crimes head-on, it will be like moths jumping into the flames and killing ourselves.Mr. Foran had to find another way.

Through the information investigated by his law firm, Mr. Furren quickly grasped the details of the justice and all members of the jury. It turned out that the justice himself and two-thirds of the jurors were devout Catholics.So Mr. Furren frowned, made up his mind, and immediately went to the prison to visit the weird elf, so and so, so and so, to teach the opportunity face to face.If you ask him to cooperate with his actions from clothing to expression, there will be good news.How clever the elves are, and they can tell a little bit, so they appeared in court today, changed their old views, and changed from robbers to believers.

The trial proceeded very smoothly. Prosecutor Sanxun personally filed a public prosecution: the defendant is eccentric, 38 years old, and has a criminal record since he was 14 years old. He has been detained 12 times and imprisoned 5 times. That is to say, he is a mafia leader who presides over drug trafficking in more than 30 blocks of New York City. He has committed six kidnappings, three murders, and is closely related to more than a dozen accidental deaths and disappearances. .Prosecutor Sangson is also an experienced legal expert who has dealt with criminals all his life, so as the crime was revealed, he presented evidence and introduced witnesses in an orderly and impeccable manner.After listening to the prosecutor's powerful indictment, the legal professionals and journalists present all felt that the facts speak louder than words, and it would be impossible for Mr. Furren to win the case against such an indictment.At this point, the traveler knew all the weird misdeeds of the elves, and his heart was even more indignant.If I had known that this bandit had committed so many crimes, I should have made him suffer a little more when I captured him that day. I really shouldn't have thought of mercy.Now I can only restrain my temper and see how this fair court will deal with it.

When it was the defendant's defense lawyer's turn to speak, Mr. Furren stood up unhurriedly, as if he was confident that victory was in sight.The man was short and wretched, with slicked-back yellow hair and wandering green eyes.But when he cleared his throat and began to speak, his voice was very rich, cadenced, and very pleasant. His opening remarks were: "Dear Mr. Justice, Ladies and Gentlemen: The trial we face today is An extraordinary trial. It is both a secular trial and a holy trial; An observer, with sincere sympathy and a pure soul, can listen to the grace of the merciful God to save a suffering soul!"

Having said this, Mr. Furren paused consciously.At this moment, there was a complete silence in the courtroom, and even a needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mr. Eccentric put his hands together, knelt down slowly on the ground, raised his head to the sky, moved his lips, and kept praying.Then a murmured sigh, like a breeze blowing through the treetops, spread from the auditorium to the judgment seat. Mr. Furren made a sign of the cross and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have no intention of denying that the defendant lacked the guardianship of God since he was a child, nor do I intend to deny the allegations made against him by Mr. Prosecutor just now (of course, there are still many ambiguities in these allegations. place), I think all these are irrelevant, and are not the core of the case. Because when a person leaves the path of truth and falls into the trap of the devil, he becomes a tool of Satan, and all his actions, They were all against his own will, and he himself is hard to be responsible. Dear Mr. Prosecutor, when you listed these terrifying charges, have you ever considered how conflicted and painful the defendant was at that time? What kind of intense ideological struggle did he experience, wandering between light and darkness, truth and evil, just like a lost lamb as pure and innocent as a baby?"

At this moment, the elf suddenly uttered a heart-stirring howl.While pulling his hair and tearing his clothes, he groaned, "O Lord! O Lord! Save my soul! Accept me as a sinner!" In the auditorium, many old ladies took out their wipes Tissue, start crying.A pious atmosphere filled the audience.As a result, although this court is not a church, it is better than a church. Sun Xingzhe couldn't help rushing up when he heard this.He didn't know the rules of the court, and before he got the judge's approval, he stood up and interjected: "Mr. Lawyer, you said that the defendant committed the crime with conflicting and painful feelings. This is not true. I have heard him preach the truth of being a robber, saying A good robber can definitely be a president, but a good president may not be a robber. I think he commits crimes consciously and theoretically, not a lost lamb or an innocent baby."

Fulun's speech was interrupted by someone, but he was magnanimous and showed no regrets. Instead, he smiled and asked Pedestrian in a soft voice: "Mr. Witness, where are you and when did you listen to him?" Pedestrian said : "That afternoon when the case was solved, I heard him say it in the living room of the bandit's den, when their group was drinking." Foran asked, "Did you use a bug to listen to it, or did you hear it with your own ears?" Xingzhe replied: "I heard it with my own ears." Fu Lun opened the file, took out a copy of the interrogation record, and pointed it to Sun Xingzhe: "Mr. Witness, according to the testimony of the defendant and everyone present at the time , when they were drinking in the living room that day, no one else was there. You were not there, how could you hear it with your own ears?" Walker was anxious, and said loudly: "The old sun got into his belly at that time. How could he see it? Can you see?" Mr. Furren turned to the judge and said, "Mr. Judge, this is a serious courtroom, not a fairy tale kindergarten. I don't appreciate the humor of the witnesses, and I don't think this kind of nonsense can help us. Trial!" So the judge knocked on the table with a gavel and warned: "Mr. Witness, please don't say anything that has nothing to do with the facts of the case!" Walker said angrily: "How can this be something that has nothing to do with the facts of the case! If Mr. Lawyer doesn't believe it, I will How about getting into his belly now and letting him have a taste?" Xingzhe didn't know how powerful the American lawyer was, so his words immediately caught the other party's attention, only to hear Fu Lun shout excitedly and reluctantly : "Mr. Judge, I would like to make two protests: first, the witness claimed that he wanted to drill into my stomach, which constituted a personal threat to me and prevented me from exercising my legitimate right to defense; second, the witness Insisting that he can get into other people's stomachs is to publicize superstition and attempt to interfere with the court's fair judgment by using improper methods such as spiritism and witchcraft!" The justice nodded and knocked on the table again , the ruling said: "The protest is established! Mr. Xingzhe, Mr. Sun, I will deprive you of the right to be a witness, and I will deprive you of your right to speak!" He was beaten to death with a stick, but after thinking about it, even if he did so, it would not help the matter. If he killed someone in court, he would not be able to explain to his master when he went back, so he could only sit down angrily, panting.At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, obviously everyone did not sympathize with Xing Zhe.

It turned out that before appearing in court today, Mr. Furren had already analyzed the possible situation.He knew that the real threat did not come from prosecutor Sangson, but from these three witnesses with extraordinary background.He is naturally familiar with the miracles that Xingzhe and others have created in the United States in recent years. If there is trouble in this court, he is definitely not an opponent. Stop the other party from taking any supernatural measures.Xingzhe was inexperienced, so he was really fooled, and he was paralyzed by the barrister. Prosecutor Sanxun raised his hand to ask for a speech, and after getting the judge's permission, he stood up and said: "What the defendant's defense lawyer talked about just now was all about the defendant's criminal mind, which has nothing to do with the conviction. The court relied on only It may be a fact of the crime." The justice nodded and knocked on the table again: "The defense is established! Ask the lawyer to talk about the facts."

Mr. Furren bowed slightly, and continued: "Yes, Mr. Justice, I am about to talk about the facts. When the defendant struggled in the quagmire of sin for many years, he prayed to God every day, and in the end, the Almighty Lord finally showed his spirit The light of God gave him the revelation of transcending evil. According to God’s guidance, the defendant knew his way back at the critical moment, subdued a dozen armed robbers with his bare hands, and risked his life to rescue Xingzhe Sun, Bajie Pig, and Monk Sha , Lisa, Sherlock Holmes, Watson and a group of hostages, and then called the police station to surrender. To eliminate evils for society and benefit mankind. Facts, ladies and gentlemen, this is the truth! Who can deny these facts? "

Bajie had never heard such a wonderful debate in his life, and he was completely confused.When Mr. Furren talked about the emotional part, Bajie, like other listeners, shed tears-he is an artist, so he is easily emotional.But now I heard Mr. Furren say that the elves rescued the hostages because they were instructed by God, and I thought that this was too inconsistent with the facts. The defense lawyer must have been fooled by the defendant and made a mistake.Nai stood up and said honestly: "Mr. Lawyer, you said just now that the elves saved us according to the will of God. This is not true. The one who really saved us was our senior brother." Upon hearing this, Mr. Furren shook his hands He held it up high, as if praying for a thunderbolt to strike on Bajie's head, and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are such ungrateful people in the world! The defendant, as the accused robber, can still remember the grace of God, And this witness actually wants to attribute the miracle created by God to his brother! Oh, I have to repeat such blasphemous language, and I feel guilty." After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and prayed, as if his heart was very painful .So the people in the auditorium all booed Ba Jie.Bajie didn't understand that this was someone else's intention to shut him up, so he still said: "Gentlemen, it is true that the brother saved us. I once made a bet with Holmes, and he lost. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Mr. Furren Asked, "Since you must be your senior brother who saved you, can you tell everyone how he saved the law?" Bajie was still dumbfounded and said: "He got into the strange belly of the elf, forced Look at him..." Before finishing this sentence, Mr. Furren had already pretended to be helpless and said: "Dear Mr. Judge, do we want to waste precious time and listen to this kind of "into the stomach" again? Do we believe in the law today, or do we believe in Chinese classical novels?” This remark caused the audience to roar with laughter.The judge hurriedly pounded the table and ordered everyone to be silent.This idiot was ignorant of current affairs, and shouted again: "Mr. Judge..." Seeing that he didn't listen to the greeting, the judge became angry and reprimanded him: "Mr. Pig, Bajie, please sit down!" Faith will never be shaken, so he insisted: "My senior brother saved us. In the past, we have saved ninety-nine and eighty-one times. Including this time, there are a total of eighty-two times." The judge didn't know what nine Ninety-eight eleven, only that he was talking nonsense and deliberately making trouble, and said angrily: "Mr. Pig, I will also deprive you of the right to be a witness and convict you of contempt of court!" Bajie still wanted to argue, Li Sha hastily pulled him to sit down, because she knew that the judge was the incarnation of the law, possessed supreme authority, and could not be disobeyed.Bajie was so angry that he foamed at the mouth and almost passed out. Mr. Furren defeated the opposing witness twice without any effort, and he was naturally full of energy.When the judge allowed him to continue speaking, he no longer defended the defendant directly, but took out a "Bible" from his pocket, turned to the 15th chapter of "Luke's Gospel", and read aloud the well-known words in the West. "The Prodigal Son Comes Home" Story: As he read the last sentence, from somewhere in the gallery, the hymn music of "Glory to God" came, which was a recording played by his secretary at his order.In this looming and otherworldly music, Mr. Furren asked in a bewildered voice, both to the audience and to himself: "Now God has delivered this son who died and resurrected, who was lost and found We are here, what should we do?" At this moment, there was only sighs and sighs in the courtroom, and at least eight of the 12 jurors were sobbing that they couldn't lift their heads. At this moment, the elf suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands, and cried to the judge: "Mr. Judge, I am guilty! I am guilty! Sentence me to death! Kill me! Only death can give me a soul." Only by dying can I fall into the embrace of the Lord as soon as possible!" The defendant's high-profile confession pushed the warm atmosphere of the courtroom to a new climax.The sobs had turned into wailing, and there were many uncontrollable shouts mixed with the crying: "Oh, good God!" "The Virgin Mary! The Virgin Mary!" "No...no...no..." "Lovely, lovely!" "Welcome home the prodigal son! Welcome home the prodigal son!" In the midst of this turbulent emotional frenzy, only Mr. Furren remained relatively silent. He raised his hand to ask everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Dear Mr. Judge, Ladies and Gentlemen, everyone Listen clearly, the defendant voluntarily requested to be convicted due to the awakening of his heart, so my defense is over here, but before the official judgment, I would like to invite everyone to listen to a passage from God, which is the third chapter of the Gospel of John. Chapter." So he read out the following passage with more emotion: After the reading, Mr. Furren seemed to be possessed by the Holy Spirit, and he was so excited that he couldn't control it. His whole body was trembling, his eyes were staring, tears were streaming down his face, his voice was hoarse, and he began to cry.what!Exactly: The lawyer uttered a cry of grief, and everyone was surprised.After all, I don't know what he shouted, and how the case will be judged in the end. Let's listen to the next chapter.
