Chapter 76 A Great Victory
Watching the prosecution take his seat, Henry stood up and said to the judge, "Your Majesty, please let me show you our new evidence."

The old black judge, folded his hands under his chin, and nodded: "Yes."

Following Henry, he played Ju An's recording, and then said to the jury: "The recording just now was recorded by Mr. Ju, one of my two clients. Did you notice that it was basically the same as the police? The audio recording provided is almost the same, with only two more dialogues in Chinese, and now I would like to ask if any of the jury understands Chinese.”

One of the middle-aged Chinese jurors raised his hand and said, "I understand Chinese."

Henry smiled and said to the juror, "Then please tell the rest of the jurors, do you mean these two sentences in Chinese?"

The Chinese juror translated: "The two defendants, one thought that Officer Cora was the kind of person who introduced guests to a hotel for consumption and then took a commission for the drinks, and the other thought that Officer Cora wanted to take them to New York City, so they paid for it. Give Officer Cora fifty dollars as a deposit and let her take them both on a tour the next night."

After listening, Henry waved his hand and said: "If you still have questions about the previous ones, I think this conversation has solved all the problems, that is my two clients, both of them are well educated, among them Mr. Ju, the upper When I came to New York the second time, I donated money to charity. Another Mr. Wang has a travel company in China. Now he has cooperated with several ranches in Montana to start a tour. They came to New York just to have a tour. The scenery of New York, feel the charm of New York as the economic capital of the world, but I believe that these two gentlemen may not have much affection for New York, because our policemen in New York have subjectively assumed my commission from beginning to end. people".

The prosecution immediately stood up and said: "We object, the methods used by our police are legal, our police officer Cora made sexual innuendo to the two suspects many times, and the two suspects did not expressly refuse. The tapes can't completely deny the actions of the two, just as a witness just said, the veterans who bought sex are more cunning, and maybe it's just a means for the two suspects to get out of the lawsuit."

The judge said: "The objection is invalid, the defense lawyer, you continue."

Henry nodded at the judge and continued: "First of all, this Officer Cora did not refuse the invitation of two men to enter someone else's car, and got into the car, the lady above has already mentioned that, under normal circumstances, The female police officer will not get in the car, so why did our officer Cora get in the car? I have the information of officer Cora here." He picked up a document from the table and handed it to the judge, followed by: "Just joined the police force. It's less than a year, I'm a newcomer, and I'm eager to get the recognition of my peers. Let's see what my boss said about this police officer. By the time of the two complaints about her law enforcement issues, but not brought to the attention of our police department, persistence can sometimes become extreme, and passion can become impulsive."

The prosecuting man in his 40s immediately stood up and objected loudly: "We protest, this is an insult to the hard work of an excellent police officer, Mr. Judge!".

The judge looked at Henry and said, "The protest is valid."

After listening to Henry, the topic changed: "Let's take a look at the cases that New York has been convicted of in the past year. Here is a case list of more than a dozen female police officers who were used as bait to arrest suspects and sentenced." Pointing to the thick pile of documents on the table: "Mr. Judge, Mr. jurors, these cases have a similarity, that is, the suspects have taken off their clothes, or had further physical contact, and were then arrested. I was found guilty, and the law agrees that the police officers’ arrest is legal, on the condition that there is further action, that is, conscious physical contact, but my two clients, one of them was driving at the time, and the other, from the police There is also no mention of two or one of them having undressed or showing signs of physical contact with Officer Cora."

On hearing this, the prosecution defended: "They were arrested before one of the gentlemen had contact."

Henry smiled at the jury: "Arrested under what name? Flirting with a beautiful young woman? Of course, the premise is that you don't know the young girl is a policeman, and want to catch you and throw you in jail, the policeman's The arrest itself was illegal, and my two clients showed no signs of further wanting to make physical contact with Officer Cora after handing over fifty dollars to Officer Cora, let alone the evidence we provided. It's been proven that my clients are just gentlemen's piggybacking on a lady who wants to hitch a ride, and I don't deny that maybe one of my clients seems to have a crush on this Officer Cora from the recording, a young lad. It's a God-given right to love a young girl, and our cops want to take advantage of that to send my client to jail."

Henry went on to say: "My two clients are both graduates from famous Chinese universities. Although I don't know much about Chinese universities, I don't know what the university is like, but I checked and found that this university has an acceptance rate in China. It is one-twelfth, far higher than our Harvard and Yale acceptance rates. Looking at their records, they are completely innocent, and they don't even have a speeding ticket. Mr. Ju buys auto insurance at the biggest discount. Two of my clients are good law-abiding citizens, well educated, quality-conscious, loving, and they are staying in one of the most luxurious hotels in New York, how likely are people like them to be against a Interested in the bottom street girl?".

Ju An can't understand Henry a little bit down there, why can't rich people find street blockers at the bottom?What logic is this, let you defend our innocence, what are you talking about quality of life, good education, etc. have a dime relationship.

Henry continued: "Look at the previous case, among so many cases, none of the female police officers got into the suspect's car and made the suspect convicted. Look, this Cora female police officer, Faced with the situation of two young and powerful men, when the vast majority of female police officers refused to get into the car even if a man drove the car, they resolutely got into the car of my two clients. Why? Tell her that my two clients are not in any danger, and even appear to be two well-educated, polite gentlemen, and she gets in the car, using her Brooklynite that many native Americans don't understand. The Gram accent is weaving a trap for my two clients. As for the only thing that can be heard clearly in the recording is the service, which makes you satisfied. What kind of crime is this? When does the English dictionary define service as ***, let You define satisfaction as a woman selling her body? Could it be that I am old and slept for decades last night?".

"The defense's lawyers are making subjective assumptions about the witness's thoughts and cannot be used as evidence, Your Honor."

"Your Honor! What prompted this Officer Cora to get into the car? Was it because my two clients looked Asian?"

"Your Majesty! I protest, we did not act racially discriminatory in the process of law enforcement, and the defense's lawyers are completely slanderous"

"Watch what you say, defense attorney, if you have evidence that the police acted in the slightest of racial discrimination in the course of this case, then we will have another trial, and I'd love to have those racists punished" Black judge said.

"Sorry Your Honor, I didn't mention racism, I was just making assumptions about what drove Officer Cora into the car of my two clients."

The judge replied: "Put down your reasoning, you know that racial discrimination is much more serious than this case."

Hearing this, Wang Fan asked in a low voice, "Is the crime of racial discrimination serious?".

Ju An said: "In reality, there are a lot of things, such as people of color are not as easy to find jobs as white people, etc., but you can't say it, you can only do it, and it's a big trouble if you say it."

Henry said sorry and followed: "Even according to the police, neither of my two clients took any further action at that time. When they were arrested, their clothes were neatly on his body. This time the arrest was conducted. It's illegal in itself, and the police department doesn't think about their actions, and wants to forcibly impose their own consequences on my two clients. Even after we have shown the most favorable evidence, the prosecution is still looking for them. Under the pretext, I'm still trying to put the crime firmly on my two clients. What they care about is not justice, not two well-educated, clean and law-abiding citizens who will be punished for unwarranted crimes. Accusation, even if they usually don't even have a small speeding ticket, our police officers only care about their image, they only write down what they imagine in their mind, hang it around someone's neck, and send that person in Prison, and then to tell the public that we have caught another criminal, Mr. jurors, look at the records of these two gentlemen, pure like a blank piece of paper, all jurors, I have finished."

After saying that, Henry walked over to the long table and did it.

The judge looked at it and said: "The court will be adjourned for 10 minutes, and the verdict will be pronounced in 10 minutes. The two lawyers will come in with me later." After speaking, he tapped a small hammer, turned and left the court.

Henry smiled and asked Ju An: "The conditions I suggest are that no criminal record is left, the police department apologizes, the litigation costs are borne by the police department, and the compensation is [-] US dollars per person, what do you think?"

Ju An and Wang Fan looked at them and said, "You can pay for the compensation, and the rest must be paid." Wang Fan next to him also nodded.

Henry nodded, and went out of the courtroom, and went to the judge's house with the prosecution lawyer.

When the trial was held again, the judge asked the jury to announce the results, and the jury unanimously decided that Ju An and Wang Fan were not guilty.

The judge then pronounced the verdict: "Mr. Ju An and Wang Fan were acquitted, the police station apologized to the two gentlemen at the same time and paid all the litigation costs, and compensated the two gentlemen with [-] US dollars each, and the verdict took effect immediately! "The judge's little wooden hammer fell.
