"it is good."
Dai Machiko nodded when she heard this, and immediately understood Sogo Tokiwa's intentions.
If it is a correct answer and a wrong answer, the opponent has a probability of 50 being right.
Once the other party is right, the other party's testimony will have an adverse effect on one's own side.
But if both answers are wrong answers, people who don't really know the answers will not say that both answers are wrong.
There is basically no possibility that the other party can be blinded by being right.
Sure enough, the result of the experiment was as expected by Tokiwa Shogo. Although the two sentences were spoken by Dai Machiko, after a slight change of tone, the other party did not distinguish immediately.
After a little hesitation and struggle, the witness George said that the second voice was the voice he heard, that is, the defendant's voice.
Hearing what the witness said, both the judge and the prosecutor coughed twice. Obviously, the witness initially said that he heard the voice of the defendant among the voices of the quarrel downstairs, and this testimony has become unreliable.
Seeing the reactions of other people present, George seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Actually, it was the first voice. I accidentally said something wrong just now."
Hearing this, the prosecutor coughed twice in embarrassment.
If George guessed the voice wrong just now, it just made the other party's testimony that he heard the defendant's voice upstairs sound a bit unbelievable.
And when he changed his words suddenly, the judge began to think that he was a guy who was talking about running the train, and even his testimony that he saw the witness running down became unreliable.
Sogo Tokiwa continued to ask at this time: "Mr. George, you said that you saw the defendant, Ms. Sarah, and ran down from upstairs?"
"That's right, it looks like this. I just saw him coming down the stairs when I opened the door."
"May I ask if she ran when she went downstairs? Or walked? What's the speed?"
When George heard this, he immediately replied, "I ran downstairs. It looked like I was in a hurry, so I felt a little strange at the time."
"Then you felt something was wrong and called the police?"
George shook his head when he heard this: "No, I just felt a little strange at the time, thinking that there might be some conflict upstairs.
Things between the neighbors were not easy to mix, and the two old ladies upstairs had a weird temper and their speech was ugly, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Because I felt that killing such a thing should not happen to me, so I didn't call the police immediately.
Later, after the accident, the police came to me to ask about the situation, and then I thought about what happened that day, and felt that the quarrel upstairs was related to this incident. "
"If the defendant ran across the stairs all at once, how did you remember the defendant's face clearly at such a fast speed?"
When George heard this, he immediately said: "She was wearing a nun's clothes at the time. She has very obvious features and is easy to remember."
ps: The school schedule is finally out, hurry up to get something out for exhibition, life is not easy, Maomao sighs
207. Wanting to Run After Getting on the Witness Stand
"So what impresses you is that the person you saw that day was wearing a nun's clothes, and that clothes is the focus of what you see.
At that time, you didn't see clearly who the person came downstairs at all, and you probably didn't see her face clearly, but you only saw a woman in a nun's clothes roughly.
When the police took you to identify, you subconsciously took the defendant who was wearing the same clothes as the person you saw at the time, because they were wearing the same clothes.
But you don't actually see the exact face of that person at all, do you? "
Sogo Tokiwa expressed his inference in an orderly manner. When the so-called murderer in the other party's mouth went downstairs, George, as a witness, may have seen that person, but he did not see the exact appearance of the other party at all.
Because when people run down the stairs, their speed is very fast, they pass by in a flash in the corridor, and there are still large movements such as turning around.
Especially since this process probably won't take more than three seconds.
Even if the witness opens the door just before the other party goes downstairs, and witnesses the other party going downstairs for a short period of time, the face of the witnessed person in motion is difficult to be directly witnessed.
Because the proportion of the face to a person is very small, and the witnesses will have more impressions of clothing with a larger visual range.
Especially the clothes of the nuns, which have obvious characteristics, will give people a deeper impression.
The same clothes made the witness George, in the process of identification, regard the defendant Sarah who was wearing the same nun's clothes as the person he witnessed, which caused a kind of memory misplacement.
And once this kind of impression is formed, people's brains will unconsciously fill up the rest of the details, which will deepen the impression on people, thinking that what they saw at that time was this person, and even thinking about this person in their minds. One thing is certain.
"No, I should have seen that face.
Moreover, some features of this girl are more obvious, and I saw it at the time. "
Qiao coughed a little when he heard this, expressing that this girl was too sinful, and he could see her sinfulness at a glance.
Hearing this, Sougo Tokiwa asked again: "May I ask how long it took you to see that person coming down the stairs, appearing and disappearing in front of you?"
"Probably, 3 to 5 seconds?"
George scratched his hair at this, looking as though he was trying to remember.
"Has it been so long? I remember you said that she ran downstairs, so she should be very fast, right?"
Hearing this, George shook his head uncertainly: "Hiss... she was indeed running a little fast at that time.
It didn't seem to be that long. Anyway, it was just a few seconds, and she went down all at once. Anyway, she ran downstairs very fast. "
It happened a few days ago, and the witnesses had no way of ascertaining the details of a few seconds at that time, and they were not holding a timer in their hands. Humans have no way of perceiving such subtle things.
Hearing this, Tokiwa Sogo continued to ask: "And at such a fast speed, turning around and going downstairs in the stairwell, can you happen to be able to capture her face so accurately? You are really impressed by this face ?
Or, it's this typical nun's dress, and certain other features, that strike you, and you see other defendants with the same features, and that's it. "
Hearing this, George hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but shook his head: "I...I don't remember clearly, anyway, that person is indeed wearing a nun's clothes, and his figure is very similar to her."
"Can you remember that person's figure so clearly?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. George replied: "Because this lady's figure is very similar to her elder sister, Miss An, I am more familiar with Miss An who is the maid upstairs.
Because the tempers of the two old ladies upstairs are very weird, they often lose their temper inexplicably, and they seem to be dying, so they are particularly afraid of things like time, and clocks are not allowed in the house.
So sometimes when we meet, we will discuss the two old ladies upstairs. Ms. An is a nice person, but she died like this unexpectedly. "
Looking at the witness who couldn't help shaking his head, Sogo Tokiwa immediately turned his head to the judge and began to say: "Your Excellency, it seems that there is a problem with the witness's memory, he didn't see it so clearly at the time.
But what is certain is that if the witness did not lie, what he witnessed at that time should be a woman wearing a nun's clothes running through the corridor.
But he didn't witness the appearance of the person wearing the nun's clothes, so there was no way to confirm what the other person looked like, so he couldn't be sure that the person he saw was my client, Miss Sarah.
Therefore, his testimony has no way to prove that Miss Sarah hurriedly left the scene after the murder.
The person who left the scene may be another person, but that person was also wearing a nun's clothes. I suggest that the investigation can be re-investigated in this direction. "
When Prosecutor Charles heard this, he immediately raised his hands and began to object: "No! Clothes like nuns are very rare, and they can't appear in any place at any time.
Just based on this dress alone, it can be concluded that the person who went downstairs at that time must be the defendant Sarah, who was the only nun nearby at that time.
And she also admitted that she had been near the resignation home, the same clothes, and the motive for committing the crime!That person is definitely the defendant, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence that another person wearing a nun's clothes killed someone?
So the facts of this case are already obvious. The person who left at that time was the defendant, because after the murder, he was very nervous and left in a hurry. "
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shogo asked back: "Mr. Prosecutor, here is a question, if the defendant left in a hurry after the murder.
How to explain the secret room formed at the scene?It also takes time to set up the secret room, and as a witness heard the sound, the door opened a little strangely, just as the prisoner you guessed went downstairs.
In this case, the person in the nun's clothes would not have time to create a secret room, and the scene was a secret room with the doors and windows locked. "
Prosecutor Charles said in embarrassment when he heard this: "This... This is also our doubt, but this does not affect the fact that the defendant is the murderer."
Hearing this, Tokiwa Shogo asked back: "Then why is it impossible for someone to wear the same clothes and use this method to blame the defendant.
She had killed someone beforehand, and after arranging everything, she deliberately made a sound to attract the attention of the downstairs, and then went downstairs wearing that distinctive dress. "
Prosecutor Charles said a little angrily when he heard this: "Then you should find out who framed the defendant! Instead of imagining it out of thin air, fabricating it out of thin air!"
Sougo Tokiwa was furious when he heard this. Legal citizens pay taxes every day, and those idiotic politicians in your parliament quarrel every day. They just think about how to grab votes, and it’s okay if they can’t even implement a policy.
Now the prosecutors can't even investigate the case, and you still have the confidence to ask others to investigate it. It's all because of your imagination and fabrication!
Alas, I didn't pay taxes, this is a game?That's fine.
Prosecutor Charles looked at the "stunned" Sogo Tokiwa who was persuaded by himself, and continued confidently: "And we have another witness, who happened to meet the defendant who was going upstairs that day downstairs.
The time when he met the defendant was [-] pm, which coincided with the time when he thought the man had heard the conflict.
According to our inference, the defendant Sarah entered the home of her sister's employer at around [-]:[-] p.m., and then had an argument with her sister over the distribution of property.
So a conflict broke out between the two. Sarah hurt her sister with the fruit knife that existed in the room, and left in a hurry after setting up the scene.
And this witness is the husband of the deceased Ann, Joe. After he met his wife that day, he ran into his wife's younger sister, the defendant, downstairs.
We apply for Joe to testify in court as a witness. "
The judge nodded when he heard this, and Joe, the husband of the deceased, walked up to the court, as if because of his wife's death, the other party seemed very sad.
Prosecutor Charles saw Joe standing in the middle of the courtroom and asked in a gentlemanly manner: "Mr. Joe, I hope God bless you, although it is a second injury to you, I still want to ask you a question.
When you left your wife's place that afternoon, you happened to see the defendant, Miss Sarah, coming, right? "
Qiao nodded when he heard this, indicating that what the other party said was correct: "Yes, that afternoon, because I forgot to take the key of my house, I went to the place where my wife worked and asked her to get the house key.
After getting the keys and coming out, I happened to run into Ms. Sarah who seemed to be looking for my wife on the way back downstairs. "
"Excuse me, Ms. Sarah, did you see your brother-in-law that afternoon?"
Sarah nodded when she heard this: "We met and said hello."
"Excuse me, what time is it?"
Sarah shook her head when she heard this: "I don't remember clearly. After the afternoon service, I went to my sister's house."
But the witness Joe seemed to be very clear about this question, and immediately answered: "It should be at four o'clock in the afternoon."
At this time, Machiko Dai suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Qiao, I want to ask you why you are so sure that it is Ms. Sarah you met at four o'clock in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Joe replied, "Ah, there is nothing I can't remember, anyway, it's just four o'clock in the afternoon, that's the time."
Dai Machiko heard this and replied: "There must be some evidence or something that can make you think that it was four o'clock in the afternoon when you met Sarah?
This is like the last witness who heard the sounds of fighting and quarreling upstairs at home. At that time, there was a clock in his home that could watch the time, so he could be sure that the time was around 4:20.
Then I would like to ask, when you met the defendant on the street, on what basis did you deduce that it was four o'clock in the afternoon?
You don't have a watch on your hand, and there are no traces of wearing a watch for a long time on your wrist, so you should not have a watch at that time.
May I ask Mr. Prosecutor, is there a clock tower near the crime scene where you can watch the time? "
Prosecutor Charles thought for a while when he heard this, and shook his head: "The clock tower is about 1000 meters away from the crime scene, and the time displayed by the clock tower should not be visible near the crime scene."
Dai Zhenzhi thanked the witness politely, then turned around and continued to ask the witness: "Thank you, then I would like to ask Mr. Qiao, how did you determine that the time was four o'clock in the afternoon?"
Joe seemed to rub his hands a little uneasy when he heard the words: "I saw it somewhere, I saw the time somewhere, and then I happened to meet Sarah.
I can't remember exactly where it was, but it was definitely four o'clock in the afternoon anyway, that's right!Absolutely. "
Dai Machiko heard this and asked, "Is it in the house where your wife works?"
When Joe heard this, he nodded immediately, saying that it was the same as Dai Machiko said: "That's right, that's right, when I went out, I happened to be in that room and saw that the clock was around four o'clock, and then I went downstairs. Met Sarah."
"Mr. Qiao, I want to correct you here, there is no clock in the room where the deceased was, so you can't see the time in the house of your wife's employer.
So where on earth did you see the time, and you can accurately assume that you went downstairs and met Ms. Sarah around [-]:[-] pm.
Or, you're not sure about the time at all, you just said it was four o'clock in the afternoon on purpose, in order to..."
"Are you kidding?! What do you mean by a lawyer?"
Before Dai Machiko finished speaking, the witness Joe seemed to be a little angry and slapped the table and said: "I am here to be a witness! I am providing evidence for you to sentence the defendant, not for you to interrogate me.
Anyway, it's four o'clock in the afternoon!I was just around the corner and saw a clock that represented four o'clock, and that's definitely what it was, that's right. "
Prosecutor Charles looked at Joe, who was a little excited, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Joe, don't get excited. According to what you told me before, your wife told you about the inheritance the day before, right? "
Upon hearing this, Joe nodded immediately: "That's right, that's right, Ann told me about the inheritance the day before, and she also said that she had told her sister Sarah about it."
Prosecutor Charles seemed to have found a treasure when he heard this: "Your Honor, according to what the witness said, the defendant Sarah knew about the estate as early as the day before, which further proves that the other party has a sufficient motive to kill."
Sarah, who was sitting next to the dock, heard this and said a little excitedly: "No, I didn't know about this at all the day before."
"be opposed to!"
