Thomas's hair was neatly combed, his face was calm, and his gait was quite calm, as if he had come to an ordinary party, without the nervousness and frustration of the suspect in the dock.
In contrast, the lawyer who needed to defend Thomas's innocence in this trial was obviously much more nervous, and even began to sweat profusely on his head, and the two men stood side by side, as if Thomas was the defense lawyer and he was the defendant who was about to go to trial.
Compared to Thomas's defense lawyer, the plaintiff's lawyer looked much more relaxed, and the man, who looked to be nearly forty years old, just stared at Thomas with a faint expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Do you know who the plaintiff's lawyer is this time" Ti Lijia leaned into Yan Xiuze's ear, exhaled softly, and said softly: "Mr.
De Witz, a well-known lawyer in New York City and the ace of aces." ” "Is he very powerful" Yan Xiuze's heart moved and asked.
"With nearly 20 years of practice and a high win rate of over 98, Mr.
De Witz's status in the New York legal community is almost equal to your status in the Chinese super-capable circle."
Tiriga explained: "The man who was killed by Thomas did not have relatives or friends to claim the body, so his defense lawyer should be arranged by the government, but Mr.
De Witz, after hearing about the case, took the position of the plaintiff's lawyer on his own initiative, strictly speaking, this is an unpaid voluntary labor for him, no one knows why De Wittz took the initiative to take this case, this matter is as strange as whether Thomas really has the ability to predict the future." ” "Wow, thanks Kop."
Yan Xiuze nodded, but soon looked at Ti Lijia with a meaningful look: "By the way, can you not get so close to me" Tirijia looked at Yan Xiuze with some astonishment.
"Well, listen, I don't have any misogyny myself, and of course I don't rule out young and beautiful girls from doing something too intimate to me, but given your professional relationship, isn't it too utilitarian for you to do this now" Yan Xiuze stared playfully at the beautiful female reporter next to him: "I don't want the color of my panties to make the headlines of the New York Times tomorrow." ” The original stunned look on Tiriga's face gradually disappeared, and then turned into a look of interest: "You are much more interesting than I thought. ” "Thanks for the compliment."
Yan Xiuze shrugged his shoulders: "By the way, one more word, do you have this to do this for every male superpower who appears around?"
"Of course not, I'm quite demanding."
Tiriga stroked her hair and smiled, "At least he has to look like a human." ” While Yan Xiuze and Ti Lijia were chatting in the auditorium, the debate in the courtroom officially began, starting with the local police in Texas making a general summary of the case.
"I believe that everyone in the courtroom today should have a basic understanding of this case."
A black police officer stood in the middle, clutching a manuscript in his hand, and read slowly: "Half a month ago, there was a car accident on a one-way road not far from the highway in South Texas, and the perpetrator was Mr.
Thomas, who is now sitting in the defendant's seat, driving his white sports car, hitting the victim Mellenzis at 200 miles per hour and killing him on the spot. ” "After the tragedy, according to Mr.
Thomas's confession, after he went back to the scene of the accident and confirmed Mr.
Myerron's death, he quickly called the local police and voluntarily turned himself in."
"After receiving the call to the police, we immediately dispatched the corresponding personnel to the scene."
"Until we arrived at the scene, we thought it was just an ordinary accident, a young man driving a sports car did not find Mr.
Myerren in the middle of the road for a while, causing a tragedy, but after the accident, out of fear of the law, did not escape, but voluntarily surrendered."
"That's what we thought before."
"But then, when we checked the car that Myrren had broken down at the scene, when we saw the pistol that Myrren held in his hand until he died, when we later checked the true identity of the deceased, things seemed to start to go in a direction we never thought possible."
"It wasn't until later, when Mr.
Thomas, who was sitting in the dock, admitted that he had crashed into Mellenzis, and the reason for doing so was that after he foresaw the future of being killed if he stopped, I felt an unprecedented absurdity and horror in the police profession for more than 20 years."
"You don't believe what Mas said," asked the white-haired old judge.
"Of course, this is too, and the meme of predicting the future is about to be used up in the movie."
The black police officer still has a ridiculous look on his face: "But what is even more ridiculous is that we did find a firearm on the deceased's body, and we also found his identity, and he did have a criminal record of robbery and homicide before." ” "Foresight may be true, and this Mr.
Thomas may really be a superpower."
"In this regard, after half a month of controversy, it is still difficult for the Texas District Court to issue a valid judgment, after all, this kind of thing is unprecedented, and there is no similar case to refer to before."
"Thanks, well summed up."
The old judge nodded, motioned for the black officer to return to his seat, and then looked at De Wittz who was standing in the plaintiff's seat: "Here's your speaking time." ” "Of course, I'm ready."
De Wittz bowed to the old judge very gentlemanly, and then looked at the expressionless Thomas on the defendant's bench with a faint expression, but this gaze only stayed for a short moment, and then De Witz looked away, and then looked at the twelve jury members, and said: "I think most of the people here should be familiar with me, and there should be many people who are very curious about why De Wittz took this case that has no oil and water." ” "In fact, I was already following the case a week ago, before it was transferred to a New York court."
"The Texas District Court's decision in this case was difficult to reach for a long time due to the lack of previous similar cases to back it up, so it had to be transferred to the New York court, but the point of contention was clear enough that Mr.
Thomas drove a sports car and killed someone, and the main disagreement was simply whether it was a case of justifiable defense, or " "What about improvised murder":
