"Prosecutor Snow, here is the information you asked me to collect, with media comments and investigations in it." An intern handed Snow a thick stack of documents.

Snow took the document, flipped through the pages quickly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The public opinion is very beneficial to us. In the next court appearance, the probability of our victory is much higher." Snow said proudly.

"Prosecutor Snow, I don't quite understand what these things have to do with the cases we are about to participate in? Will it really help us a lot?" the intern asked in confusion.

"That's of course." Snow showed off a show-off expression and continued: "This public opinion trend will convey a message to the jurors that it is wrong and immoral to hurt others in order to save his life. During the trial, the jury will preconceive that the defendant's behavior of shooting and injuring passers-by is wrong, even if he is to ask passers-by to call the police. In court, as long as I emphasize the defendant's initiative to carry out the behavior, I can define it as the defendant's intentional behavior. In order to protect his own interests, do it sound like intentional injury? I hope that in this way, the defendant's behavior will be defined as intentional injury."

"Will jury members accept this concept? I want to ask what if the jurors are not influenced by public opinion?" the intern asked.

"Don't worry, they will definitely be influenced by public opinion in society, which is directly related to the composition of jury members." Snow signaled the interns to sit down and then explained: "The law stipulates that citizens over the age of 18 who live in the local area, are proficient in English, have no hearing and intellectual defects, and have no criminal record, can become jurors, but in the actual screening process, there is still a certain specific direction, and the prosecution and defense will screen out some people."

"For example, some people with low levels of education and low levels of life have a relatively high chance of being screened by both the prosecution and defense. Because of the limitations of their educational level and daily living environment, it is difficult for such people to make a reasonable judgment based on evidence. You cannot expect a high school dropout to think and analyze problems like a scholar. So both the prosecutor and the defense lawyer will feel that it is a risk to make that kind of person a juror. Unless the defendant is a specific group of people, when choosing a juror, both the prosecution and the defense will first remove this type of person."

"In addition, we do not want people with very high education or experts in a certain field to become jurors. Such people have received relatively high education, achieved certain achievements, and are more confident. They have excellent independent thinking ability and excellent judgment. Such people are not easily affected by external factors. If such people appear in a jury, even if we make a wonderful debate during the trial, they will not follow our thinking. They will independently think about their own opinions, and the efforts of prosecution and defense lawyers will become useless in front of them. They will only believe in their own judgment and disagree to be persuaded."

"So when selecting jurors, we often choose the kind of people who have no highlights in daily life, are not good at deep thinking, are not very stubborn, are easily influenced by external factors, and like to follow the crowd. This type of people is the most perfect jury members for prosecutors or defense lawyers. They will draw conclusions based on the most basic on-site evidence and the words of both prosecutors and defense parties, and will never cause any unexpected factors."

"I think you should understand this, right? Jurors are all people who are easily disturbed by external factors. Under the guidance of public opinion, they will make preconceived judgments. In this case, I have taken advantage of this to make them biased towards us. Or we use social public opinion and kidnapped the judgment of jurors with morality!"

The intern nodded, but a complex expression appeared on his face. It can be seen that he did not agree with this behavior very much.

Rees advised, "I know, you may not understand this behavior very much, but believe me, you will get used to it slowly. From a certain perspective, this is indeed a kind of moral kidnapping, but you have to understand that it is not us who will give the final judgment, so we do not need to bear psychological or moral pressure. We only have one purpose, that is, to convict the suspect!"

...

Li Dai came to Wilfried's law firm.

"Mr. Li, you should have noticed the trend of public opinion recently, right?" Wilfried asked.

Li Dai nodded and said with a smile: "I noticed that I have become a negative teaching material now. I didn't expect that there are so many morally noble people in this world."

Wilfried heard the irony in Li Dai's words. He smiled dismissively and continued: "Mr. Li, this situation is very unfavorable to our next trial. The jury is easily influenced by public opinion orientation, so it makes judgments that are not conducive to ours."

"But when we really know how to choose, we will be on the court soon, but this kind of thing happened." Li Dai said helplessly.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the prosecutor's trick. The reason why Nick Rees can maintain a 100% conviction rate is because he knows how to do anything," Wilfried said.

"Secretary Wilfried, come over to me, I guess you must have come up with a solution." Li Dai asked. He knew that a lawyer of Wilfried's level must have thought of a solution for a long time.

"I did think of a way to deal with it, but it would cost some money. This part of the expense is not included in the attorney's fees, so I'm going to get your consent," Wilfried said.

"I understand." Li Dai took out the check book and signed the name directly, but did not fill in the number, and then handed the blank check to Wilfried.

Wilfried took the check and continued, "I will send you the detailed documents for this expenditure later. I suggest you take a look at the documents to the accountant. Maybe there may be a tax deduction."

The reason why Wilfrid asked Li Dai for this money was because he needed to pay taxes. If the money was counted in Wilfrid's attorney Fery, then Wilfrid would have to pay an additional personal income tax for the expenditure, but if it was counted as the funds provided by the parties, Wilfrid would not have to pay extra taxes.

"Secretary Wilfried, I'm very curious now. What exactly is the response you think of? Can you reveal it first?" Li Dai continued to ask.

"Of course, you are my client, and you have the right to know everything." Wilfried showed an old fox-like smile. He pointed to the blank check in his hand, and continued: "There is nothing that cannot be solved with this thing! You still have the passerby who was injured by you, right?"

"I remember, I heard that guy didn't have a formal job and usually did odd jobs at the gas station." Li Dai answered.

"He's doing very well now!" Wilfried said with some advice. He folded his hands together and then asked, "I think you shouldn't mind making him live a better life!"
