"Your Honor, these documents record the testimonies of many witnesses, all of whom are more or less related to Mr. Witte Gaude. I think their testimonies can show that Mr. Gaude has some mental problems.
Therefore, I have reason to believe that Mr. Gothe will retaliate against my client because of what happened during the day. Because he was driven home by the club manager during the day, the revolver he often used at the club was not put into the warehouse.
It happened that my client was passing by Xuefeng Street, and Mr. Gao De raised his gun and fired. The first shot missed, and the second shot hit my client's left arm, and the bullet penetrated and injured his left lung."
As expected of an experienced royal lawyer, urging him to go home turned into rushing him home. Rawls propped his chin with his right hand and kept tapping his cheek with his index finger.
However, there are too many loopholes. If Mueller is a "lawyer", he can use his extraordinary ability to make people ignore these loopholes.
Unfortunately, he is not.
Attorney Mueller pointed to the pale Lancer Nozick and continued:
"Your Honor, I request that the revolver be submitted."
Judge Sgaro Gash nodded and said:
"allow."
A bailiff walked out of the court hearing and returned holding a tray with an antique black revolver on it.
"Please present the evidence pistol to Mr. Witte Gaude." Seeing the bailiff placing the tray in front of Mr. Gaude, Attorney Mueller pointed to the revolver, "Mr. Gaude, is this revolver commonly used by you?"
"Yes."
As soon as Witte Gaude's words came out, the jury and the auditorium immediately became noisy.
Sigaro Gash on the judge's bench frowned, "Dudududu", and knocked the hammer:
"Quiet."
Attorney Mueller smiled with satisfaction, and then asked:
"Did you injure my client with this pistol?"
"Yes, I was..."
"Your Honor, my questioning is over."
John Mueller did not listen to Witte Gaude's subsequent words at all. He bowed to Judge Scharro and returned to his seat.
"Rolls Adrian."
Judge Sgaro watched Rawls stand up and adjust his lawyer's robe. Compared to Muller's silk robe, which still had two sleeves hanging down, the lawyer's robe of an ordinary barrister was much easier to organize.
In order to maintain the peaceful coexistence between the two parties, according to the agreement reached by the two parties, Rawls cannot bring out any evidence or witnesses involving the improper handling of the Hillston Police Department, such as the two police officers who arrested Witte Gaude.
, the senior superintendent of Hillston who was not allowed to visit.
Rawls came to Witte Gaude, gave him a firm look, picked up the tray, and showed it to everyone around him:
"Since Attorney Mueller ended with this revolver, I will start with this revolver."
Rawls put down the tray and began to pace:
"My client admitted that this revolver was commonly used by him and that he wounded Lancer with it, so let's talk about the origin of this gun.
Although this gun is commonly used by my client, it does not belong to my client, but belongs to the Cragg Club."
Rawls turned to Judge Sgaro and bowed slightly:
"Please allow me to call my witness, the manager of Clegg's Club."
"allow."
Soon, a black-haired man in his thirties was brought to the witness stand by the bailiff.
"Your name, identity."
The black-haired man said in a deep voice:
"Herbert Heller, manager of the Krag Club."
Rawls goes on to ask:
"Do you arrange for people to count the ammunition warehouse at your shooting training range every day?"
"Of course, guns and ammunition are dangerous goods. At least two people need to sign when entering and exiting the warehouse. Someone will count them every day." The black-haired man pointed at Witte Gaude, "Mr. Gaude is responsible for this."
Rawls frowned:
"On June 27, Mr. Gao De went home early. Who was responsible for the counting work that day?"
"I am responsible."
"Is there anything missing?"
"No. Because I was doing the counting for Mr. Gothe. In order to avoid making mistakes, I did the counting twice."
"When did the counting end?"
"At 8:30 p.m., the shooting training range usually ends at 8 p.m., and then it takes about half an hour to clean up and take inventory."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Rawls looked at Attorney Mueller and said in a deep voice:
"The guns were not missing that day, so there is no way my client could have brought this revolver home as Attorney Mueller said."
"I am just citing a possibility. After 8:30 p.m., my client was still at the Krag Club. It is entirely possible that Mr. Gaude quietly returned to the club in order to retaliate against my client. When he saw that my client was still in the club, he
Want revenge."
Attorney Mueller stood up without any panic. He pointed at Mr. Gaud, "As you can see, he is over fifty years old and missing an arm. It is very likely that after the club's inventory work, he sneaked into the warehouse and took out the
The revolver I often use. Secretly following Lancer who left the club, looking for opportunities to take revenge."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them. Although Witte Gaude was missing his left arm and had a lot of white hair, he was tall and strong; while Lancer Nozick, who was sitting there, looked pale and cheerful.
The look of dying.
But thinking that Lancer had suffered a gunshot wound, I believed Mueller's lawyer's statement a little bit.
"A possibility? Then can I also list a possibility?"
Rawls walked up to the club manager, pointed at Lancer and asked:
"Why did this gentleman conflict with Mr. Gothe?"
"This gentleman drank and had a conflict with Mr. Gothe during communication."
Rawls stared at the club manager, a dark-haired man named Herbert Heller. He was avoiding the important and taking the easy.
Rawls did not accuse or tell the real reason, but turned to Lancer and walked up to him:
"Excuse me, did you drink that day? Especially at night."
The pale Lancer Nozick wanted to say that he didn't drink, but before he could speak, Rawls continued:
"You have to remember, there are a lot of people in the club at night, and they can all see clearly."
"Lawyer Adrian, please don't threaten my client. He still has gunshot wounds. It's up to me to answer."
Attorney Mueller stood up and stood in his place, "My client did have a conflict with Mr. Gauthe because he was drunk, but Mr. Gauthe's retaliation with a gun is a crime and must be punished by law."
Rawls looked at Attorney Mueller, ignored the second half of his sentence, and said seriously:
"Since Attorney Mueller wants to answer for him, did he drink alcohol that night?"
Mueller knew there was no need to lie in this regard and nodded:
"I drank it, but that doesn't mean anything!"
"No, then there is a possibility."
Rawls addressed the jury:
"Lancer was drunk that night..."
PS: Yesterday I marked it and said that British religious witnesses must hold a Bible and swear when testifying, but because God does exist in this world, I deleted this link.
However, some people have raised questions and said that this link cannot be omitted. Swearing to God will emphasize the correctness of the testimony, and the existence of gods will make believers dare not commit perjury.
Let me explain. If you swear to the gods to show that your testimony is correct, and the gods will really respond accordingly, for example, the Storm cultist who gave a perjured testimony was hacked to death by Leodro, then the divine power will be against the law and the kingdom.
threat to his rule.
The army is the sword and shield of a country, and the church has not been able to intervene. The law, which is the cornerstone of maintaining rule, is even less likely to be interfered by the church. If this is not conducive to those in power, those in power will no longer safeguard the correctness of their beliefs.
.
It can be seen as a balance between divine power and royal power in the extraordinary world. It seems that it can also become a ritual of the "balancer"?
