Almighty Coach

Chapter 494: The Fish Take the Bait

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the trial continued, and now it was the turn of lawyer Wilfried to ask questions.

"Mr. Li, on the day of the incident, you shot and wounded the wounded person, that is, Mr. Sam Gardner. What I want to ask is why you chose Mr. Sam Gardner as your target instead of Anyone else?" Wilfried asked.

"Because Mr. Sam Gardner just passed by there. At that time, my field of vision was limited to that exhaust vent, so I could only aim outside the exhaust vent, waiting for someone to enter my field of vision, and Mr. Gardner It happened to come into my field of vision, so it's not up to me to decide who to shoot." Dai Li said.

"In other words, you shot at Mr. Gardner because he appeared in your field of vision. The target you choose to shoot is not randomly selected? It depends on who first enters your field of vision Among them?" Lawyer Wilfried asked immediately.

"Yes. Due to the limitation of my field of vision, it is impossible for me to take the initiative to choose the target. I can only accept it passively." Dai Li replied.

"Then why did you choose to hit the injured man's leg?" reporter Wilfrid asked.

"Because that would not cause fatal harm to the injured." Dai Li replied.

"Then why not hit the arm? A shot in the arm is not a fatal injury." Wilfried continued to ask.

"Because the arm is on the upper body, it is closer to the chest and heart, and closer to the head. If you aim at the arm, the risk of causing fatal injury to the injured person will be greater." Dai Li replied.

"That is to say, before you shoot, you have fully considered that the shot may cause life-threatening danger to the injured, and you have taken targeted measures to reduce the possibility of this risk. When shooting, avoid the area that may cause fatal injuries to the wounded." Wilfried asked.

"Yes." Dai Li nodded.

"But you still haven't considered that the injured may die due to excessive blood loss, or the injured may not have a mobile phone, or the injured may pass out due to pain." Wilfried continued.

"Yes, I did not think of this at the time. I would like to express my apologies to the injured Mr. Sam Gardner." Dai Li said.

Dai Li didn't say that he shot Gardner in the leg. The other reason was to prevent Gardner from escaping and not calling the police. Of course, he had to ignore the reason that was not good for Li Dai. Say it in your own favor.

Prosecutor Nick Reese looked at Dai Li and Wilfrid with a sneer on his face. Wilfried was Dai Li's lawyer. What questions he wanted to ask, and how Dai Li would answer, must have been known before. It has already been discussed, and there is no need for Nick Reese to delve into the loopholes in it. It is meaningless to do so. On the contrary, it is possible to fall into the trap set by Wilfried Realization.

And Wilfried said: "I think everyone has heard that the prosecutor accused the defendant of disregarding the life and death of the injured. The position is to avoid causing fatal injuries to the injured as much as possible, which means that he does not want to hurt Mr. Gardner's life."

"As the prosecutor mentioned, the wounded may bleed profusely and die, or the wounded cannot call the police without a mobile phone, or the wounded passed out on the spot after being shot. These possibilities do exist, and the defendant also I admit that I didn't take this into consideration at the time. I don't think any of us can guarantee that every decision we make is perfectly considered, and that we can think of all the possibilities without any omissions. So This alone does not prove that the accused disregarded the lives of the injured and that there was no causation."

"And considering that the defendant was kidnapped by the kidnappers at the time, he must have been panicked and helpless. In that case, it was already very difficult for the defendant to avoid hitting the vital parts of the injured as much as possible. That's the case. That situation is not the current trial, and the defendant can't sit in a chair and think peacefully like we are now, and we can't ask the defendant to think so much."

Wilfried nodded towards the judge while speaking: "Your Excellency, I have finished asking all my questions."

"Prosecutor, do you have anything to add?" The judge looked at Prosecutor Race.

Reese immediately stood up: "Yes, I still have a few new questions I want to ask the defendant."

As Reese spoke, he came to Dai Li and asked, "Mr. Li, according to what you just said, when you shot, you avoided the wounded's vital parts, so you chose to hit the wounded's Legs, right?"

Dai Li thought for a while, and felt that there was no trap in Reese's words, so he nodded, "Yes."

"Then how did you do what you said, hit the injured man's leg, but didn't hit other parts of the injured man's body, especially the vital parts?" Reese then asked.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean." Dai Li said.

"Well, let me ask from another angle, how can you ensure that you only hit the wounded's legs and not hit the vital parts of the wounded?" Reese continued: "If you can't guarantee that your shot can Completely avoid the vital points of the wounded, that is to say, the shot you fired may still kill the wounded directly. From this point of view, the wounded were not killed by you, just because you did not hit the wounded vital parts of your body, rather than saying you didn't commit a murder."

Dai Li roughly understood what Reese meant.

"Sure enough, as Lawyer Wilfried expected, Reese asked such a question. It seems that the fish has already bit the bait."

Thinking of this, Dai Li smiled slightly: "Of course I can guarantee that my shot will only hit the injured man's leg, not his vital parts."

"What guarantee do you have?" Reese asked immediately.

"I'm very confident in my marksmanship." Dai Li said confidently.

"Mr. Li, I want to remind you that this is a court, and self-confidence cannot be used as evidence in court." Reese said coldly.

"Well, let me put it another way. My marksmanship is very accurate." Dai Li replied.

"Accurate? This is a very broad concept. Everyone's understanding of accuracy is different. Maybe what you think of as 'accurate marksmanship' may not be the same concept in the eyes of others. Just rely on your dictation of 'marksmanship' Quite accurate', in my opinion, it is groundless, and it cannot be used as a reference for evidence." Reiss said quite justifiably.

Dai Li pretended to be in deep thought, and after a few seconds, he said, "I can hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters with a rifle. Prosecutor Sri Lanka, and all of you here, my perception, can I call it 'accurate marksmanship'? Does it conform to your understanding of the statement 'very accurate marksmanship'? If you think this cannot be regarded as' If the marksmanship is very accurate, you can come up with your own evidence."

At this moment, both the judge and the jurors looked at Dai Li with amazed eyes.

Reiss was also shocked. Dai Li's standard of "accurate marksmanship" far exceeded Reiss' knowledge. In Reiss' opinion, those who hit 10 rings with a gun in the shooting range are considered to be very accurate marksmanship, but Li Dai said that he hit a coin 50 meters away, which is beyond Reiss' understanding.

Reese glanced subconsciously in the direction of the gate of the court. He was standing about thirty meters away from the gate of the court, and he couldn't even see the keyhole of the gate clearly.

"Just bragging, how is it possible to hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters. I can't even see the keychain at a distance of 30 meters. If I put a coin at a distance of 50 meters, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it at all. ! He must be bluffing."

Reese immediately asked: "Mr. Li, are you sure you said 50 meters, not 5 meters or 10 meters? You are going to hit a coin? Not a tire?"

"It seems that Prosecutor Reese didn't hear clearly. Let me say it again. I can use a rifle to hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters." Dai Li deliberately slowed down his speech this time to let the court People on the left and right can hear clearly.

"Mr. Li, I must remind you that this is a court, not a talk show, and every word and every sentence you say is evidence in court and must be recorded. If you lie, I will I can sue you for perjury." Reese stared at Dai Li with sharp eyes.

"Prosecutor Race, what you don't agree with doesn't mean it's not true. Just like you prosecuted me for first-degree murder and assaulting the police, it's because you don't agree that I'm not guilty, but the fact is that I'm not guilty. Dai Li shrugged.

Reese frowned in embarrassment. Dai Li's comparison was obviously challenging him.

"Whether you are guilty or not is up to the court to decide, but what you just said, you can hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters, is not a casual talk." Reese said.

"If I can really hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters, can it prove that I am fully capable of hitting only the wounded person's leg without causing fatal damage?" Dai Li asked right away.

"Well..." Reese hesitated, he didn't want to give a definite answer. Although Reese didn't think that it was possible for Dai Li to hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters, his professional sensitivity made him feel that it is better to leave some room.

However, Li Dai seemed to be unreasonable and went on to say: "Prosecutor Reese, you were the one who questioned my marksmanship just now and asked me to prove that my marksmanship is accurate. Now I am going to prove it according to your request." , but you seem to be going back on your word. Prosecutor Race, what are you afraid of? Or do you think I'm not guilty at all?"

Everyone at the scene turned their attention to Reiss, including the jurors present. Reiss could clearly sense that the jurors had developed a feeling of distrust towards him.

"It seems that you can't agree." Reese took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Li, if you can really prove that your marksmanship is very accurate, then we will admit that you have the ability to only hit the wounded. legs without fatally injuring the wounded."

"Very good." Dai Li turned his attention to Lawyer Wilfrid.

Lawyer Wilfrid also stood up immediately, and said to the judge: "Your Excellency, in view of the new situation in this case, the prosecutor has asked us for new evidence. As the defendant's attorney, I will apply to the court. Temporarily adjourn the court and postpone the retrial so that we can have time to prepare evidence."

The judge nodded and looked at Reese again: "Prosecutor, what's your opinion?"

"Your Excellency, the prosecution agrees with the defendant's attorney's request for a temporary adjournment and postponement of the retrial. However, our prosecution believes that the new evidence provided by the defendant's attorney must be approved by the court and the prosecution." Rui S said.

"Prosecutor Reiss, what do you mean that the evidence you mentioned needs to be approved by the court and the prosecution?" Wilfrid asked immediately.

Prosecutor Reese replied: "It's very simple. Since the defendant claims that he can hit a coin from 50 meters away, then I hope that the court and our prosecution can personally witness the defendant's self-incrimination behavior, not the defense attorney. A document from a notary office is provided, or a video of a few minutes."

"Defendant's attorney, can you accept the prosecution's request?" the judge asked.

Wilfried looked at Dai Li with a questioning look, and Dai Li nodded at Wilfried.

"We can accept the prosecution's request." Wilfried replied.

"Then jury, can you accept the prosecution's request?" the judge asked the jury again.

After discussing with the jury, most people were still curious about whether Dai Li could hit a coin from 50 meters away, so the jury also agreed to Reese's request.

...

"Our plan was successful, but I thought that we only need to do everything under the witness of the notary, but I didn't expect that Reese would use this trick. Mr. Li, Reese is deliberately giving you Create obstacles." Wilfried said.

"I know that Nick Reese thinks that when there are more people watching, I will be nervous and be inaccurate. But this time he made a wrong calculation. My psychological quality is very good." Li Dai smiled confidently.

If it is an ordinary person showing his marksmanship, when there are many people watching, he may be nervous and inaccurate. This is a very normal behavior. Just like those young athletes who lack competition experience, they usually perform very vigorously during training, but when they arrive at the real competition scene, they will not let go of their hands and feet and cannot perform at the usual training level.

However, Dai Li didn't care about people watching, because he wanted to use Adam Hawley's copy card to obtain 70% of Adam Hawley's abilities.

Adam Hawley, a world-class athlete, has participated in countless competitions, and there are many world-class competitions. In that level of competition, it is common for thousands of people to watch on the scene, and there will be dozens of cameras facing him, and there will be a live broadcast or something. For such athletes, the global live broadcast is not afraid, and the crowd of twenty or thirty people is even more pediatric, and they will not feel nervous at all. Dai Li can obtain 70% of Adam Hawley's ability, so naturally he won't panic on the spot.

Beside, lawyer Wilfried asked again: "Mr. Li, can you really hit a coin at a distance of 50 meters? I don't want to question you, but this is too much in my opinion." It’s unbelievable. A coin is so small that if it’s placed fifty meters away, it’s hard to even see it, let alone hit it with a gun.”

"Lawyer Wilfrid, have you watched the 50-meter air rifle competition?" Dai Li asked back.

"Well, I've watched a few, and the one I watched the most was Adam Hawley's game." Wilfried replied.

"Then you should know that for a professional shooter, it is not difficult to hit the 9th ring." Dai Li said with his hand gestures: "A coin is about the same size as the 9th ring of a 50-meter air rifle target. .”
