Best Actor

    "How is it?" Walker stepped up and asked as soon as Cassel entered the lounge.

    "Anderson invokes the Fifth Amendment, requiring Sean to testify," Cassel frowned, but not too panicked, "the judge upheld his opinion, but did not force Require."

    "Support but not mandatory?" Walker was a little stunned, "What does this mean?"

    "It means," Cassell looked at Sean who had been sitting on the sofa motionless, "Whether or not to testify is up to Sean himself."

    "No, Sean can't testify. Although he has participated in several mock juries and cooperated with us, it is not enough. Anderson can defeat him in just a few minutes." Walker shook his head immediately Rejected this suggestion, "The adjournment time is only 30 minutes, and we have no time to re-formulate the plan."

    "But in this case, the jury's impression of us will be greatly reduced, this is their trick, I propose, I will not force you, if you still refuse, then you must be guilty, Cassell said immediately, "and the previous testimony of Ms. Cate Blanchett was not perfect. If this impression is left on the jury, we will lose points at the last minute."

    Then they both stopped talking, but turned to look at Sean, wanting to hear his opinion.

    "Then..." After a long silence, Sean finally spoke, "I am willing to testify."

    "Sean, you have to think carefully, this may destroy the previous efforts." Walker hurriedly said.

    "I didn't say those words to force you, Sean, I just want you to think and analyze carefully, and then make the right response." Cassel also said the same.

    "I have thought about it clearly, I can testify for myself," Sean said seriously, "I have been observing for a while, and I have accumulated experience in two court sessions. I can do it well. As long as you give useful advice. Don't forget, I'm an actor and I know better than you how to perform in people's hearts."

    He couldn't wait like this, from the moment Kate appeared, he knew that he had to do something. Frederick may not have fully disclosed the situation to the law firm, but Cassell must still see something. He must draw everyone's attention back to himself, and the prosecutor is now giving him a chance.

    "Have you thought of your testimony yet?" Cassel asked.

    "Yes." Sean nodded.

    "Call the jury consultant here," the old lawyer greeted immediately, "We still have time."

    Time always flies, the audience, the jury, the judge and the defense and the defense reappeared in the courtroom after a short break, and Sean also sat on the witness stand.

    "You are a liar, Mr. Tang." The prosecutor said that in the first sentence, which made Cassel and the others frown slightly. This question was not within the scope of their prediction. Inside.

    "We've all seen your testimony," the prosecutor held up Sean's testimony and walked back and forth in front of the jury, "You didn't mention you wandering the streets, nor did you When you mentioned what you were doing there, you just said you spent the night in the little park there, and now, it turns out you lied and you lied to everyone."

    "Lying?" Sean raised his eyebrows, but didn't panic at all, "Yes, I did lie, but sometimes I lie not to deceive, but to protect..."

    "Protection?" The prosecutor was a little surprised, but before he could ask another question, Sean continued: "I didn't intend to say it, I hoped to keep it in my heart, but, Since you asked me to sit here, to testify, and to take oath, I have to reveal the reason."

    He looked at the jury, took a deep breath, with unprecedented seriousness and frankness, no one would have doubts when looking at his expression: "I fell in love with a woman, A married woman."

    Suddenly, there was an uproar in the back of the auditorium, no one expected him to say such a thing, so that the judge had to knock the hammer twice to show silence.

    "We have worked together on films, but I didn't realize this at the very beginning. Although I liked her very much, I didn't think too much about her, because...she already has a daughter." Xiao En said quickly, "This kind of hesitation made me miss the opportunity. When I realized my emotions, it was too late. She got married last year. I was angry and regretful about it, but there was nothing I could do. I didn't I was able to seize the opportunity, but... I thought I could give up this relationship, but I didn't. Since she got married, her unwillingness began to roll in my heart, and I couldn't get rid of it. "

    He narrated in a eloquent voice, although there were not many expressions and body language, but with his emotional tone, full of torment, regret, and reluctance, he had completely attracted the attention of the jury , so that the prosecutor does not know where to enter if he wants to interrupt.

    "But I know I can't do anything, she's married, I'm a playboy, yes, but I also have my bottom line, and I have to stick to it. But... the more emotional this kind of thing is The more the depression broke out, and I didn't tell anyone about it, so I went outside her house that night and watched from a distance across the street, I don't know what I was like, but I just wanted to Look at her from a distance, even if it's just a look." Sean finally stopped and let out a long sigh.

    He didn't want to describe it in such detail at first, it would be bad to involve completely unrelated parties, but as long as the reporters check who lives across the street, it will be clear immediately , so it is meaningless to cover up, it is better to use it to let him perform.

    "Then I have a question, why did you refuse to tell the truth in the first place, and why did you wait until this time, Mr. Tang?" The prosecutor seized the opportunity and asked, looking like he didn't want to. give up.

    "Then I also have a question, Mr. Prosecutor," Sean immediately asked back, "I said it, will it prove my innocence?"

    "I'm asking you a question, Mr. Tang." The prosecutor was not calm.

    "Yes, I know, so I'm answering." Sean confronted and looked at the judge.

    The bald judge considered for a few seconds, then nodded to the prosecutor: "You can continue."

    "...No." The prosecutor replied with a flash of anger in his eyes.

    "Then do you know what's going to happen next?" Sean asked immediately, pointing behind him without waiting for an answer, "See those people in the seats, they are Desperately sending messages out."

    "They have nothing to do with what we're discussing." The prosecutor clearly didn't want him to get the rhythm.

    "No, it's related, it's a lot," Sean interrupted, "If I had said this, they would have chased her, chased her family, Harassing them in this way, the media will make up irresponsible stories, and even write some unsightly reports!"

    This is both for the jury and for another person, although she is not here at the moment, but Sean has to say it, maybe someone sees this after , would say he faked it.

    But he doesn't care because he knows what he's doing and he knows what he should be doing, and it's always easy to be a bystander.

    "I said, I'm a playboy, I'm not denying it, but I also have my own bottom line. Since I can't prove my innocence, why drag her in? I'm a People ran to Santa Monica, I avoided people's sight, avoided those monitoring devices, and hid myself in the shadows, just so that people wouldn't find out, so that I wouldn't trouble her!" Sean said aloud, the court said. It was silent at this time.

    Then he gave him the final blow: "I don't know what you think, Mr. Prosecutor, maybe you're used to not caring about other people's feelings, but I'm a man and some things have to be Carry it, even if it gets me in trouble! I could never have said it until you asked me to testify."

    "I have nothing to ask." The prosecutor then said something embarrassed and returned to his position.

      , and a diligent church juror. Admittedly, these actions are very targeted, Sean's **** name is still very loud, but now, with Sean's successful performance, these people have become uncertain factors, look at their expressions.

    Then the trial is over, and the next is the time for the jury to deliberate. Generally speaking, if the jurors are more consistent, then a conclusion will be reached quickly, but if they are inconsistent , it is possible to discuss behind closed doors for three or four days. At this time, there is no need to worry that they may be influenced by the media, because they are all concentrated in the same room, where they eat, drink, and laugh, and they cannot leave or communicate with the outside unless the result is discussed.

    "So we just have to wait for the results now, your testimony is perfect, they will definitely be impressed..." Frederick followed Sean into the room, saying Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an oncoming punch.

    "What did I say to you?" Sean stared fiercely, his breathing was especially heavy in this room where there was no one else except them, and his fists were shaking a little. "What did I say to you, Fred! Don't bother her, don't you understand?! It's the first **** time! It's the first **** time you've made up your mind, Fred. Do you take my words as deaf ears! Or do you say you don't want to do it now!"

    Frederick slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth were swollen, and there was bloodshot left on his nose, but he didn't care, and his eyes were calm: "I just did what I was supposed to do, Xiao kindness."
