Chapter 312: A Society Ruled by Law
The defense lawyer is sweating profusely. He has no political sensitivity.
No colleagues dared to take on such a big case, but he did.
To say that he is incompetent, he is not incompetent, but Matt's lawyer is not inferior to him.
The two had a verbal exchange. His attempts to arouse the witness to lose control all failed and were stopped by Matt!
And every time Matt replies, he replies almost exactly as he said. If he were an Oriental, he would probably exclaim:
Are you the fucking king of kings!
But he can't lose!
To stop wanting to be famous and rich, he must win this trial!
Defense lawyer: "I heard the witness mention a soldier named Edward Drogan, but he was not at the scene"
Matt: "Mr. Drogan has died from a gunshot. In fact, here, my witness wants to accuse senior NSA officials."
"NSA?" The defense lawyer scratched his scalp and rummaged around frantically. Something in the material, but nothing at all!
“How can this be related to the NSA?”
Lieberman raised his hand: “Because I am a former NSA staff member and analyst. If you look for the news, you can still Find the news that I died in a 'shooting' last year"
"But."
"No but, this actually explains the context of the attack on my accuser"
The CIA has almost no law enforcement power in the country and is completely crushed by other intelligence agencies——
But if the NSA , it is completely reasonable for the National Security Agency to intervene!
Lieberman once again presented surprising evidence in court, which showed that he had obtained the images in Garner's hands as early as a year ago and had told his superiors that he could investigate.
But his boss said that the matter was not allowed to be investigated further, so he secretly sent the image to a newspaper
The day after he did so, he was shot dead by a team of agents in the park!
The reason for the killing was: leaking state secrets!
The astute Lieberman was wearing a bulletproof vest and jumped into the river in the park before being shot through. He narrowly escaped with his life. He had been waiting for an opportunity for so many years——
Like Such an opportunity today.
And Lieberman’s additional revelations made the case complicated again: the National Security Agency also did it!
The defense lawyer looked confused, but it was obvious that his accuser Rollins knew, and he also knew what would happen next.
Frank has performed several missions wearing an exoskeleton these days, but not just Saved Lieberman, Garner, and those who were still alive and related to the case!
The reporters and editors of the newspaper at the time came out one after another, and everyone testified to the authenticity of the incident.
Frank's additional witness caught the opposing lawyer a little off guard, and it had completely interrupted his rhythm
He looked at Rollins, now they only have the last card, although they played The timing and foreshadowing are a bit poor.
But that’s all.
"Wait a minute. Yes, the authenticity of the whole thing may not be doubted, but this does not mean that the mysterious commander is my accuser."
Liel raised his eyebrows ——The evidence is solid and you still want to talk nonsense?
Everyone has agreed that what happened really happened, but here’s what you say: Murder does exist, and the process is fine, but the murderer is not my accuser!
Is there still this kind of defense?
Cow.
The defense lawyer wiped his sweat: "There are witnesses at the scene who can prove that your description of the mysterious commander does not match Mr. Rollins."
On the plaintiff's bench Garner looked at Frank inexplicably, and the latter looked at the defendant in disbelief——
There is only one person left alive in the Cerberus team except him, Garner!
His best brother, almost a good brother to another of his relatives!
He doesn't want to go to court, and Frank understands - because Billy now owns a private military contracting company and is the best of his brothers.
But how could Billy stand on his opposite side?
"My witness is invited: Billy Russell."
The defense lawyer read out the name Frank was familiar with, and Billy's handsome face appeared in Frank's mind.
But no one came out of the witness aisle.
The court was silent, and both the defense lawyer and Rollins were a little confused, but soon, the door opened -
What came out was a man in a suit and ties, hurriedly walking towards the dock.
This man’s face doesn’t match the face in Frank’s mind at all!
He was lucky, but turned very angry: These damn agents are planning to find someone to pretend to be his brother?
Then the next second, he saw the defense lawyer's face suddenly turn pale, and Rollins's feet went weak. He held on to the handrail and almost didn't fall.
However, Lear immediately hacked into the nearby camera and learned what happened.
There was indeed such a mysterious witness, but he had already escaped just now.
Bang bang.
The judge knocked the hammer: "Where are the witnesses?"
"No more."
This guy named Billy was so skilled that he knocked down the bailiff without anyone noticing, changed his clothes and ran away
“I want to apply for an adjournment.”
Bang!
The judge frowned and banged the gavel, no longer intending to give Rollins, the clown, any more scenes.
The context of the incident was so clear that he was already inclined to believe the plaintiff’s story——
As for why the witness slipped away?
The judge judged that this was irrelevant to the truth.
Because the truth has been revealed.
“During the trial of this case, this court has carefully considered all the evidence and listened to the statements of lawyers for both parties and the testimony of witnesses. According to the evidence heard by this court, the behavior of the defendant William Rollins Not only did it violate the law, but it also betrayed society's trust and expectations of its responsibilities.
The harm to society caused by this behavior is profound and irreversible.
The final verdict is - guilty. "
Bang.
The gavel struck, as if Rawlings's spine was broken. This intelligence officer who did everything for promotion and political future suddenly fell to his knees. On the ground.
But no one would have sympathy for him:
What he lost was only his political life, but more people lost their lives because of him.
The victory inspired all those who watched the case through the online live broadcast, and the nature of the incident was truly concluded.
The Supreme Court tried the deputy director of the CIA, further expanding the power of judicial interpretation, and also made people begin to re-examine this war that has lasted for many years
Maybe at the beginning, they were trying to fight back Terrorists, but now?
Reflection cannot stop once it starts. They can even start to reflect on what happened before the war started and think about the reasons for the terrorist attacks
But no matter what, at the most intuitive level, the spirit of the Constitution has been explained again - the rule of law has not yet become a joke.
Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to realize the details here, but whoever defeats the powerful boss is a good thing.
If it is a law, it is a good law; if it is a person, it is a good person.
Lille looked at this scene. No matter what kind of outlaw he was in his heart, he had to admit one thing:
Human beings can gradually form a society because of rules. A stable society creates miracles in the universe.
This is not Night City, and fighting and killing has never been the purpose.
【Done? 】
[Hydra: Done. 】
The final picture of the trial was displayed on the screen. A young man was lying on the sofa, lazily holding a wine glass.
Looking at the people cheering and congratulating the trial, the pictures flashed one by one, and finally settled on Lille’s face.
"It's interesting. Alas, I've said it before. Thinking about simple and crude methods won't work. You're a bunch of brainless idiots."
In front of him, there was a tablet computer, but in fact, this Thing is a secure communications device that communicates directly using satellite signals.
More words appear on the screen:
[HYDRA: Who’s next? 】
[Rich man: Next. There is a idiot in the Federal Trade Commission. The message has been sent and he will fly over tomorrow. 】
[Hydra: With all due respect, this is a small role. Tramplers are not for such small things. 】
[Rich people: Don’t give me any fucking nonsense. I’ll give you money and you’ll just work hard! 】
[Rich people: Haven’t you suffered enough? Why are all of you, except Dr. Zola, so stupid that you can’t understand human language? 】
The power of money revealed in the text made Hydra on the other side of the screen give in.
The man's mood seemed to change a little quickly. After scolding Hydra, he returned to normal.
Looking at Lear who was constantly outputting various ideas to the media on the screen, he said to himself: "The world is full of individualistic idiots.
But this one seems different."
[Message from the Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission: Dear Mr. Dario Agger, today, we received a nuclear energy research report from International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd. 】
【Stuck, you can find any reason to hang up. 】
[Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission: We understand. I wish you a happy work. 】
"Atomic energy?" The man known as Dario raised his eyebrows. "Multi-line operation? I'll find something for you to do."
To deal with such an enemy, you have to use your huge weapons. Incomparable resources, step by step, crushed all his hopes.
[Tony, the drone armor you sent me last time was very interesting, I want to discuss it further with you.]
After sending the message, Dario walked to the balcony——
A lifelike Greek mythological monster "Minotaur" (note: Minotaur) stands in the center of the courtyard. If you look at it from a distance, this statue looks like a real monster.
He raised his head, and the setting sun shone on his naked body. Looking around, he could see a perfect green landscape that could not be seen to the end.
Soft grass, dense trees, and the position of each tree has been carefully selected. These trees, which cost tens of thousands of dollars, stand in the endless green space, and together with the sunset, show him the world. Rare beauty.
Such beautiful scenery appears in the courtyard of his home. Every inch of these beautiful scenery is his personal property.
"Victory of the rule of law?" He sneered.
“It’s not like the Constitution cannot be changed.”
