Chapter 390 Soul Torture: Was It Intentional or Accidental?(2/2)

After Chuck finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

Ben Stoney's defense lawyer stood up directly and walked over: "Do you know how long Dr. Oster has been practicing medicine? Dr. Reitz."

"I don't know, probably around 25 years."

Female assistant Donna did not insist on eye contact this time. She touched the white wig on her head and tried not to look at Ben Stone's bald head.

"Do you know where he went to medical school?"

Ben Stone walked closer.

"Harvard Medical School."

The female assistant Donna is familiar with the defendant's situation.

As the assistant to Harvey the Suitman, she needs to help her boss sort out various complicated cases every day. Her professional level is very high, and she has already known the script given by Chuck by heart.

The script naturally includes details about Y's Dr. Reitz and the defendant.

"good."

Ben Stone walked up to the female assistant Donna: "How long have you been working? Which medical school did you graduate from?"

"Two years, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, which is one of the best medical colleges in India..."

Before female assistant Donna could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ben Stone. The other person looked like he didn't care, as if he was trash as long as he wasn't at Harvard Medical School, he turned around and returned to his seat.

The female assistant Donna immediately lowered her head in shame.

The prosecutor and defense lawyer cross-examined the Indian attending physician Dr. Reitz who came out for a long time, and then began to call the second witness.

The female assistant Donna stood up, threw away the white wig she was wearing, unbuttoned her white coat, revealing the women's suit underneath, straightened her hair, and instantly transformed into female resident Laura Simmons.

"Dr. Simmons, were you present when Susan Wardrickey was admitted to the hospital?"

Prosecutor Chuck asked.

"Yes."

The female resident doctor named Donna nodded cautiously.

"What was your reaction when Dr. Oster injected Susan Wardricki with meperidine?"

prosecutor Chuck asked.

"I said her medical record said she was taking phenazine, which should not be taken with meperidine at the same time."

The female resident doctor in the Donna version said.

"So where did you go to medical school?"

Prosecutor Chuck asked, but looked at the defense lawyer.

"Harvard Medical School."

The female resident doctor named Donna said with a hint of pride despite being ashamed.

"Thanks."

Prosecutor Chuck ended this round of questioning and signaled that the defense attorney could cross-question.

The testimony of the female resident and the bald Indian doctor were very similar. This time, the defense lawyer had no chain of national or university contempt that could make the jury members smile, and quickly ended the cross-examination of the female resident.

Then the forensic doctor comes on stage.

"In your expert opinion, did giving the patient an injection of meperidine when the patient was already taking phenazine led to the death of Susan Wardricki?"

prosecutor Chuck asked.

"good."

Donna's version of the forensic doctor nodded.

This time, she wore a white wig reserved for British judges and lawyers.

no way.

According to the information Chuck gave her, the medical examiner was also a bald old man.

"Didn't you only detect the two drugs phenazine and meperidine during the second autopsy?"

asks the defense attorney played by Ben Stone.

"Yes, that's because these two medicines are very uncommon..."

Donna's version of the medical examiner tried to explain, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ben Stone. He said "thank you" and turned away without letting the medical examiner continue.

"Unless you look for it specifically, it won't be found in general drug tests."

Donna's version of the forensic doctor tried to continue, but was interrupted again by Ben Stone louder.

"After further investigation, the police specifically specified these two drugs for drug testing, and the facts proved that they were indeed detected."

Donna glanced at Chuck, followed the script given by Chuck, interrupted Ben Stone's interrupt casting skill louder, and said what she wanted to say.

In terms of not letting others speak, American lawyers are just like American media reporters. They constantly interrupt others, disrupt their thoughts, and only intercept the one-sided information they need.

"Is it possible that Susan Wardricky died of pneumonia?"

Seeing that he couldn't be interrupted, Ben Stone used the absolute questioning method most commonly used by American lawyers.

"It is indeed possible."

Donna's version of forensic medicine can only answer this kind of question, because it is indeed possible that the end of science is theology, and today's scientific methods still cannot achieve the absoluteness of theology.

"But it's also possible that the death light from Mars killed her!"

Ben Stone glanced at Donna in surprise. As the most senior prosecutor, he could fully imagine that as soon as Donna said these words, the jury would instantly burst into laughter and resolve the defense lawyer's attempt to use the inability to absolutely resolve the cause of the deceased's death.

The despicable intention is to obscure the identifiable cause of death.

He would like to see later whether this was a script written by Chuck or Donna's improvisation.

After the forensic examination, they began to demonstrate Dr. Edward Auster's alcoholism.

A specialist in treating alcoholism was called to the witness stand.

Still Donnay.

After several rounds, everyone was convinced of Donna's acting skills and professionalism, and they were all quite involved in the show.

"In all your years of studying alcohol addiction, have you ever seen people who looked sober but were actually drunk?"

prosecutor Chuck asked.

“See it often.”

Donna's version of the expert nods.

"If a 55-year-old man, weighing 185 pounds, drinks 10 whiskeys in two hours and appears to be completely sober, does that mean that he is in complete control and that his abilities are not affected in any way?"

prosecutor Chuck asked.

"no!"

The expert in the Donna version shook her head.

"So if this 55-year-old man, 185 pounds, drinks a few drinks, but seems completely sober, and if he makes a mistake, does that mistake have to be caused by drinking? Or is it possible that he doesn't drink?

lead to?"

Ben Stone immediately stood up and asked.

This is another classic absolute question.

"Obviously no one else can make this judgment. Only this 55-year-old, 185-pound man knows."

The Donna version of the expert can only tell what the defense attorney wants to hear.

Because the absolute question can only be answered this way.

"So only he knows whether it was intentional or accidental?"

Ben Stoney's defense lawyer asked the most critical and core question in this case, which was also the soul torture of many things, and then looked at Chuck.

As a prosecutor, what is needed is to prove that Edward Auster did it intentionally, and obviously, not everyone can be so proud to tell the truth when answering this question.

This was also his biggest headache. He was not confident enough to use the existing evidence to convince the jury that the famous Dr. Edward Auster knew that his drinking and practicing medicine might endanger the lives of his patients, and he did so deliberately.

He hopes Chuck can surprise him.
