Chapter 75 Court Defense
Wang Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be so rude, I just think Cora has a bit of personality, I appreciate it more, it's really a pursuit."

Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and said, "You're just being cheap, you don't like what's good to you, and you're thinking about what's bad for you. It's like a novel written by a poor auntie. I'm sick of reading it." .

After breakfast, the two watched TV for a while. Henry brought a young white guy over, and after a brief introduction, he found out that it was Henry’s assistant. Ju An took out his mobile phone and gave it to Henry. Henry put it on the phone. He put it in a bag, sealed it, and then explained the matter to the two people about going to court, and then left.

The two didn't go out to play today. They were waiting for the court session. They really had no interest in going out, so they stayed in the hotel to surf the Internet and play games. Wang Fan also continued to hold his big pineapple for three generations.

Finally, on the day of the court session, Ju An and Wang Fan got up early, took a shower, put on their suits, got into Henry's car, and came to the New York court.

When she entered the courtroom, Ju An realized that it was different from what she saw on TV. The space was very small. There were not many rows of auditoriums behind, only the high judge seats and two rows facing the judges. Wooden table, the other is the seat of the jury.

Henry took Ju An and Wang Fan in front of the wooden table in his right hand, and then Henry said to the two of them: "When the prosecution asks you questions, look at me first, if I nod your head and you are answering, If I don’t nod, I protest, the judge asks you to answer, and that’s basically it.”

Ju An looked around and said to Henry, "Why are there so few people? I thought the second trial was like a lot of people on TV."

Henry explained with a smile: "Our small case has little influence. There is basically no media attention, and it will not be arranged to be heard in the court."

Ju An nodded, and then looked around. The wooden wall skirt, which was as high as one person, was snow-white on the top and ceiling. The entire courtroom was made of two colors, dark maroon and white, which gave people a more solemn feeling.

After waiting for a few minutes, a few people wearing suits and ties came in, and then watched Henry shake hands with them all, then came back and said to Ju An, "The prosecution is here."Ju An thought about it, it might be equivalent to our domestic procuratorate.

After a while, the judge arrived. Everyone stood up and waited for an old black judge in his 50s to arrive.When the judge sat down, he announced: "The trial of Ju'an Wang Fan's indecent crimes is now open in Brooklyn, New York. Please state the charges."

Then he watched a white man in a suit stand up from the long wooden table: "We accuse Mr. Ju An and Mr. Wang Fan of having sex on the night of xx, xx, xx, and the woman who was put on makeup by us. The police caught them on the spot, and we have the audio recording evidence recorded by Officer Cora, as well as the fifty-dollar evidence that Mr. Wang Fan gave to Officer Cora. ​​We believe that the above two gentlemen have indeed violated the law.”After speaking, he sat down.

The judge asked: "What does the defense lawyer have to say?"

Henry stood up and said, "Both my clients are innocent, both of my clients are well educated, no one would believe that my two clients would do such things as prostitutes, Mr. Judge, this is a slander against my two clients."

The judge looked at the general position and said, "The prosecution provides evidence."

Then the white man in the suit got up again and said to the judge, "Your Honor, I request that my witness, Officer Cora, appear in court."

The judge nodded, and then Ju An saw yesterday's street-blocking girl, who was wearing a police uniform today. Ju An saw that Wang Fan really had some vision, with blond hair, big blue eyes, and healthy skin. Wheat-colored, not as morbidly thin as an urban girl, wearing a blue police uniform adds a bit more sassy taste, and his face looks a bit like Blake Lively. Although his face looks a bit old, but But don't have a flair.

Policewoman Cora stood on the witness stand, swore an oath, and sat down.

The white man for the prosecution asked: "Please state what happened at that time before the judges and the jury."

Then I heard Officer Cora recount the story, and Ju An listened to it, and felt that the woman didn't add fuel to it, and it was basically true.

The prosecution person followed up and said, "Then please identify the man who drove the car and the man who gave you fifty dollars."Then Cora stretched out her finger and pointed at Ju An and Wang Fan.

Under the judge's cue, Henry walked to the witness stand and asked, "How many times has Officer Cora held such a job?"

The prosecution immediately stood up and said loudly: "I object, Mr. Judge, this has nothing to do with this case."

The judge asked: "Defense, please explain why".

Who knew that Henry immediately said, sorry.Then he asked: "So how did you communicate with Maichunke, is it like the accent in the tape just now?"

Cora said, "Yes."

Henry asked: "Then you know? Where did the Mr. Wang Fan you talk to come from?"

Cora replied: "From China to New York tourism."

Henry looked at Cora and said with a smile, "What do you think of my two clients' English?"

“All good, speaks fluently”

Henry turned around and said, "Mr. Judge, please summon our witnesses to appear in court" watching the judge nodded.A white woman in her 30s took the witness stand.

Henry walked over and asked, "Excuse me, have you worked in the Manhattan Police Department, and in the few years of your work, you have also dressed up as a street blocker and arrested spring buyers."

The woman replied, "Yes."

"If the two young men on the opposite side invited you into his car, would you enter?" Henry asked, pointing to Ju An and Wang Fan.

"No, that would be very dangerous," the woman replied, shaking her head.

"Then how would you talk to the men if you got in the car, and what kind of means would you use to get them to speak their minds," Henry asked.

The woman said, "It's very difficult in this case. The buyers who let you get on the bus are usually veterans, and they usually make a request after getting on the bus, that is, to let you show your sex to them, so as to judge you. Is it the police? If they don't mention it, then I'll let him say words or hints with ***."

Henry interjected: "Like Officer Cora did?".

The woman nodded and said, "Yes."

Henry nodded and continued to ask: "Then will they directly mention words like prostitution money?"

"No, they don't mention this word, they avoid it when they talk, and when they give you money, they say, this is the money I donate to your child to go to college, or buy toys or something, That way, even if you catch you, you won't be able to charge him."

"That's based on your personal experience. After hearing the evidence from the prosecution just now, what chance do you think the two over there are looking for Fang Fang?" Henry asked again.

The woman replied: "I don't think it's very likely that one of the two men came in with very little talk, and the other man didn't mention the word of excuse for circumventing the law throughout the conversation."

Henry looked at the jury and then asked, "Is it because the policewoman is not allowed to get into the suspect's car, is it because of the purpose of protecting the policewoman that you try not to get into other people's cars?".

"Yes, the vast majority of women who block the street can't file a complaint in the end, and for the policewoman to face one or several men alone, her personal safety will be threatened to a certain extent. The reason why the police got into the pleasure bus".

Henry said, "Mr. Judge, I'm done asking."

Then the judge wanted to signal to the prosecution, and then the prosecution got up and asked, "When did you join the police station?"

The woman replied: "Seven years ago".

The prosecution asked again: "Why did you leave the police station?".

"I'm married and have children, and the children need my care," the woman replied.Then he signaled the judge to finish his question and returned to his seat.

Henry stood up again and asked the judge to ask Ju An some questions. When Ju An came to the witness stand, he asked, "Excuse me, why did you stop and let this lady get in the car?"

Ju An said: "Not long after I came to the United States, it rained heavily just after I left the airport in a town in Montana, and I couldn't find a taxi. At this time, a man drove me to the place enthusiastically. So when someone wants to take a ride, I will stop and take them a while on the way." Ju An's answer had been rehearsed with Henry for a long time, and it was easy to say in front of everyone.

Henry followed up and asked, "Then do you think this Cora officer wants a ride?"

Ju An nodded and said, "Yes."Then Henry signaled to the judge that he was done asking, and returned to his seat.

At this time, the prosecution asked to question Wang Fan, and when Wang Fan got on the witness stand, the prosecution walked up to Wang Fan and asked, "Why do you think that this situation was because a girl who was sloppily dressed wanted to take a ride?"

Before he finished speaking, Henry jumped up and said, "Mr. Judge, I object. Clothing cannot be the standard for judging street girls. The prosecution is enticing witnesses."

The judge said: "The objection is valid, and the prosecution pays attention to your words."

The prosecution followed and asked, "Then how do you usually distinguish street-blocking girls?".

Wang Fan glanced at Henry, saw him nodded and said: "At that time, the lights on the roadside were very bright, and all the shops around were turned on. In our country, street blockers would not appear under such bright lights, because The police work very seriously, and the crackdown on crimes is too harsh. What I wear reveals what I think is her own business."Wang Fan's answer made the prosecution a little embarrassed. This is a slap in the face. All the street blockers in China have been driven to places where the lights are dark and the lights are shining brightly. The American policemen are so embarrassed.

After asking the two people a few more questions, Convenience sat back at the table.
