英語播客初級版 第200期(外教講解):法庭審訊

Lawyer: Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, My client, Robert Malone, has been accused of a crime he did not commit. The prosecution has accused my client of being a pickpocket! I know we have heard the testimony of many people here today… people who claim the defendant, my client, stole their wallets. I feel sorry for these victims, I really do…but my client is innocent!
Lawyer: Let’s look at the facts...one: These ’so-called’ witnesses did not actually see the defendant steal anything...two:When the police stopped him, he did not have any of the stolen wallets. There is no evidence.
Lawyer: Therefore, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I ask you to think carefully before giving your verdict. My client is innocent!
Judge: Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict?
Jury member: Yes, your honor. our verdict is…… not guilty!
Robert: Thank you so much! You were great! Thank you for all your hard work!
Lawyer: You’re welcome, Robert! I knew you were innocent so my job was easy. Take care of yourself, okay?
Robert: Thanks once again...
Lawyer: Hey! Where’s my wallet?

律師：法官大人，陪審團(tuán)的先生們，女士們，我的委托人被控告一項(xiàng)他沒有犯的罪。起訴控告我的委托人曾經(jīng)偷竊他人的財(cái)務(wù)。我知道我們已經(jīng)聽了許多人的證詞……那些人聲稱被告，也就是我的委托人，偷了他們的錢包。我為這些受害者表示難過，真心表示難過，但是我的委托人是無辜的。
