Almighty Coach

It was Wilfried's turn to ask questions. He didn't speak immediately, but walked to the witness stand and stared at Officer Lori with a sharp eye, which made Lori's heart numb.

Finally, Wilfried asked, "Sergeant Lowry, according to your description, did you hear the sound of the gun when you helped the injured person walk back?"

"Yes." Lowry nodded.

"Then did you see the gunman shoot you?" Wilfried asked.

"No." Lowry replied.

"Then did you get shot?" Wilfried asked again.

"No." Lowry continued to answer.

"Did you see where the bullet fell when you heard the gunshot?" Wilfried asked again.

"Neither." Lowry answered.

"Excuse me, you didn't see the gunman firing, you didn't get a shot, and you didn't know where the bullet fell. Just with a single shot, how did you tell that the target of the gunman was you?" Wilfried used A stern tone asked.

Officer Lori thought for a while and then said, "At that time, the surroundings were very empty and there were no other people, so we were the only target."

"Then did you think there would be such a possibility that the person who shot was just shooting at an object, and his target was not you?" Wilfried continued to ask.

"No! Oppose the defense lawyer raised a hypothetical question. Witnesses do not need to answer this question." Rees stood up immediately.

Wilfried smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, according to the evidence on the scene, the shot fired by my client did not hit anyone, but hit the tire of the police car. He was indeed pointing at an object. The shot was a fact, not a hypothetical question. "

The judge nodded: "The objection is invalid. Witnesses are asked to answer the defense lawyer's questions."

Officer Lowry thought for another ten seconds, and then he replied: "I didn't think about the situation you said. At that time, only we were there. Judging from my experience, the gunman's attack target would be the person present. Not an item. "

"That is to say, you just determined to have been attacked based on your own inferences?" Wilfrey was still harsh in German.

Lorrie immediately said: "In the situation at that time, someone had been shot and fell to the ground, and normal people would think of ..."

"You only need to answer yes and no, did you only infer that you were shot," Wilfried interrupted Lowry.

"Yes." Lowry had to answer.

Wilfried nodded in satisfaction, he got the answer he wanted, and then he asked: "When did you find that the shot did not hit anyone, but hit you Tires? "

"I took the injured and hid in the car, my partner told me that the tire was blown out." Lowry said.

"So how far are you from your car when the gunshot sounded and got down?" Wilfried continued.

Lorry thought for a while and answered, "It's about ten meters!"

Wilfried smiled sarcastically, and then asked: "Is it only ten meters? You should have brought law enforcement video equipment at the time? The above should clearly reflect how far you are from your police car. "

"I don't remember clearly, the situation was very chaotic at that time, maybe it was more than ten meters." Lowry immediately changed his mouth.

Wilfried took a piece of paper from his assistant. It was a screenshot of a law enforcement video recording device. He pointed to the screenshot and said: "This is a screenshot of the law enforcement recorder when Officer Lowry got down. From the screenshot Among them, we can clearly see that Officer Lori was about 35 meters to 40 meters away from the police car. This also shows that the shot that my client fired was not aimed at Officer Lori. And the injured, but a police car 40 meters away. "

"Obviously, there is a distance of forty meters, which means that my client did not want to hurt Officer Lowry. He placed the target on the police car, just to attract the attention of the police. He is using this method to call the police. "" Wilfried said. He took a photo from his assistant. The photo shows a police car. You can see several bullet holes on it.

"The bullet holes in this police car were caused by my client, and it was also caused by the new gunshots that Lowry heard after the reinforcements arrived. After my client fired, no policeman The officer was injured, and this photo also proves that the target of my client at the time was also a police car, not a police officer at the scene. His purpose was also to call the police, not to attack the police. So the prosecutor ’s attack The police ’s accusation is totally untenable. The so-called attack on the police was just the personal feelings of the police officers who were on duty at the time, but it was not true. "

Wilfried said, looking at Nick Ruis with a provocative look, apparently like to say, you have lost the case.

Judge also looked at Reese with a strange look. In his view, the complaint by Rais about attacking the police was indeed lacking sufficient evidence.

The prosecutor of Rees seemed very calm, as if he had not suffered the slightest frustration.

……

As a victim in this case, Sam Gardner took the witness stand.

"Mr. Gardner, please give a detailed account of the day of the incident." Nick Ruis is still the opening statement.

Gardner is already familiar with this aspect. He has interviewed many reporters these days, and every reporter will ask him to talk about the situation on the day of the incident, so Gardner has already given up on that set of words. Rolling melon is overripe.

"I was on my way home at the time, and I was going to take a short pass, so I passed the scene of the incident, and then I heard the gunshots, and I felt some pain in my legs. I looked down and found that my leg was shot. .. Then I fell to the ground and called the police. Shortly afterwards, a police car came to the scene. Two police officers got on the car. One of them helped me to hide behind the police car. Then they called for support and quickly ambulance. The support from the police arrived, and I was put on an ambulance and sent to the hospital. "Gardner described the situation that day.

"Mr. Gardner, did you feel scared when you realized you were shot?" Reese asked.

"Yes, I was really scared." Gardner replied.

"Have you ever thought that the gunman continues to shoot at you?" Reese asked.

"I have thought about it," Gardner replied honestly.

"Then did you ever think that the gunman would kill you?" Reese then asked.

"I have thought about it." Gardner nodded.

"When you were injured and fell to the ground, did the place where you were shot in the leg still bleed?" Reese asked again.

"Yes, the wound is bleeding." Grand Gardner continued to answer.

"Then did you worry that you were hit by a more important blood vessel, and it is likely that you will lose too much blood and die?" Ruisi asked again.

Gardner took a deep breath and replied: "I had such worries."

"Your Excellency, I'm finished." Reese finished and returned to his seat.

Wilfried was ready, and after Rees finished asking questions, he immediately came to the witness stand.

"Mr. Gardner, according to the hospital's diagnosis, is your gunshot wound fatal?"

"It's not a fatal injury." Gardner shook his head: "The doctor said that it was only a skin injury. After stitching, it will be fine for a while."

"Then, how much medical expenses did you spend on the shooting?" Wilfried asked.

Rise guessed what Wilfried wanted to say, and immediately raised his hand to signal: "No! Oppose the defense lawyer to raise questions that have nothing to do with the case."

"Your Excellency, not many of you present should be physicians. I think that through the medical expenses, we can have a rough assessment of Mr. Gardner's injury. This is helpful in clarifying the case." Wei Alfred argued.

The judge hesitated and nodded: "The defense lawyer's question is based on a certain reason, and the objection is invalid, but the treatment cost is a personal privacy issue, and the witness can choose not to answer."

"I answer." Gardner said immediately: "I didn't spend a penny, but Mr. Li paid all the medical expenses for me."

"What about rehabilitation after that? Should the cost of rehabilitation be very expensive?" Wilfried then asked.

"I did not spend any money, and my rehabilitation costs were also paid by Mr. Li, and Mr. Li also gave me 200,000 US dollars in compensation. This directly freed me from poverty." Gardner said.

"Then Mr. Li, what you said, is in this room?" Wilfried asked.

"He was there, he was sitting on the dock." Gardner replied.

Wilfried smiled with satisfaction: "I think the truth is clear. First, although my client shot Mr. Gardner, he did not aim at his vital parts. This shows My client ’s original intention was not to kill Mr. Gardner. He had no intention of murdering Mr. Gardner. He just wanted Mr. Gardner to call him. "

"And my client was very sorry for the damage he had done to Mr. Gardner. Not only did he pay all the treatment and rehabilitation fees for him, but he also gave him a large amount of financial compensation, which can be explained, My defendant was a very kind person. He was only forced to shoot Mr. Gardner. So the accusation of first-degree murder by the defendant is completely untenable. "

Wilfried finished, and owed to the judge: "My Excellency, my question is finished."

"Prosecutor, do you have any questions to ask the defendant, or do you want to add?" The judge asked Rees.

"No, I have no problem, and I have nothing to add." Reese shook his head without hesitation, his expression was still very calm.

Rise's performance made Wilfried frown, and Nick Rise's performance was too calm.

……

Edward Snow also appeared on the witness stand.

"Mr. Snow, you are also the hostage kidnapped by the robbers, and you were also trapped in that room. At the time of the incident, you witnessed the shooting. Please describe the process at that time." Nick Reiss still This set of opening remarks.

"We were trapped in that room at that time, and all were kidnappers outside. Mr. Li locked the door back. The robbers outside could not enter, so we were temporarily secured. The room we were trapped had no windows, so we could not escape. , We want to call the police, but there is no signal on the mobile phone. Later we opened the exhaust duct, hoping to call for help through the exhaust vent, but it did not work. The people passing by were too far away from us, they could not hear Our cry for help. "

"Later, Li came up with a method. He proposed to shoot at pedestrians passing by. As long as the passers-by were injured, the passers-by would call the police and the police would arrive at that time. I think this method is feasible, so Mr. Li stood Waiting in front of the exhaust vent, when a pedestrian appeared, he shot the pedestrian and injured the pedestrian. "

"The pedestrian really called the police as we expected. Soon after I heard the siren sound, and then Mr. Li fired at the police car again. The police called for more officers. Mr. Li opened the police for the third time. Gun, he hoped to inform the police about our location in this way, and the police found us, they exchanged fire with the kidnappers, and then rescued us. "

Juss thought for a few seconds, and then asked: "Mr. Snow, according to what you just said, the defendant Mr. Li volunteered to suggest that the pedestrian crossing the gun be injured, right?"

"This is indeed the method he came up with." Snow went on to add: "And I also agreed at the time, I think in that case, that is the only method of alarm."

Res ignores Snow's supplement, and then continues; "As such, the defendant's shooting and wounding of passers-by was only carried out after the plan and pre-conspiracy."

Snow just wanted to defend Li Dai, but Reese asked again: "Mr. Snow, shot at the police. Is it Mr. Li's temporary intention, or is it planned as planned?"

"This is also part of the plan, we need to attract the attention of the police in this way." Snow said.

"That is to say, assaulting the police was also the defendant's deliberate act?" Rui Si asked immediately.

Wilfried stood up immediately: "I object! My client has not been convicted yet, and the prosecutor's use of the word" attack police "is directional."

"The opposition is valid, prosecutor, please pay attention to your words." The judge reminded.

"Okay, I take back what I just said and ask questions again. Mr. Snow, is the act of attacking the police with a gun also a deliberate act of the defendant?"

"Uh, yes." Although Snow felt that this answer would have an adverse effect on Li Dai, he still gave a positive answer. Here is the court, and he cannot give perjury.

"Okay, I've finished asking." Snow returned to his seat.

Snow's few did not exceed Wilfried's expectations, he had guessed before the court, Snow will use "deliberate behavior" to make an essay. In this case, Li Dai ’s actions of injuring Gardner with guns and shooting police cars at that time were indeed carried out after planning, and were indeed deliberate acts.

But Wilfried already had a way to deal with it. Although he could not deny Li Dai ’s deliberate behavior, he could defend Li Dai from another angle, that is Li Dai ’s “motivation”.

In criminal cases, sometimes the motive of the crime is more important than the criminal behavior. For example, if a terrorist wants to carry out a terrorist attack in a public place, even if the terrorist did not succeed in the end and caused no casualties, his motive for committing the crime is enough to keep him in prison for a lifetime.

While what Wilfrid had to do was to make everyone feel that Li Dai did not hurt their motives for committing crimes, even if he committed a criminal act, he might be released without charge.

Wilfried came to the witness stand and asked, "Mr. Snow, if you are trapped in that room, will you be in danger if you cannot call for help?"

"If we ca n’t successfully call for help, we will be dead. That iron door can only temporarily prevent the robbers from sneaking in. They can use explosives to open the iron door, or use a cutting machine to cut the iron door. And there is no food in the room. With water, we can't hold on. "Snow replied.

"So what state were you at the time?" Wilfried asked.

"My situation is terrible. After I was kidnapped, I have not been drinking or eating for two days and two nights. And I was tortured by the kidnappers. My body was covered with wounds, and my body was bleeding too much. Fever. Under the circumstances at that time, without food and water, a normal person could last for three days ~ www.readwn.com ~ But I was afraid that it wouldn't last for 24 hours. "Snow replied.

"That is to say, if you are not rescued within a short period of time, you will be in danger of life. And in comparison, the defendant's physical condition is better. The defendant can wait for two or three days, but your situation is different. You are already in danger. If you can't get treatment, you will die. Is my understanding correct? "Wilfried asked again.

"Yes." Snow nodded.

"So in this case, my client had to resort to an extreme way of asking for help. He wounded Mr. Gardner with a gun and fired at the police car, and his motivation for doing so was to hope that Mr. Edward Snow, who was on the verge of death, was rescued as soon as possible, and at the same time he was able to save himself. "Wilfred paused, then continued with a very affectionate tone:

"It is true that my client's actions were carried out after the plan, but my client did not have a motive to commit a crime. He did all this just to treat a stranger he had just met at the time. In my opinion, He is a selfless hero, but now, this hero who saves lives has to sit here and go to trial! "

Wilfried's emotionally appealing look moved many people, and even after hearing it, Li Dai felt that he was so great.

As a powerful lawyer, acting is a must.
