Shenhao's comfortable life

Chapter 518 The court battle of words (for subscription)

At 8 o'clock the next morning, 44 hours after Xiao Zhu was "summoned", the Los Angeles Attorney's Office formally prosecuted Xiao Zhu. Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, but in fact...

"Mr. Gretel, please be aware that this is pressure from the FBI, and it is very difficult for our prosecutor's office to handle it."

After Will's death, Max replaced him and became the prosecutor in Xiao Zhu's case, but this prosecutor was much more flexible than his predecessor. On the one hand, he did not have a clear "side", on the other hand , Both sides said good things, as if this prosecutor was a weak party, just like now, before the trial, he, who was supposed to be a public prosecutor, met Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu calmly said, "It's okay, I believe in the law."

Believe in the law?

Whether it's Max or Ivy Kennedy next to Xiao Zhu, their faces are all weird. Ivy still remembers the madness between this guy and her last night, who fucked her in prison, and even said that he believes in the law ?
"...The court is now open. Regarding the murder of Jerry Lee by Gerrett Diao, the prosecution, please state the facts of the crime."

In the courtroom, Xiao Zhu sat calmly in the dock. Beside him was the well-known American lawyer Baker Mai Jianshi. The lawyer's winning rate was 98%, almost "victorious in every battle."In the prosecution box, not only the author Max, but also Green Smith, as the director of the FBI, he personally participated this time, sitting next to Green Smith, Ivy Kennedy.

Under the stage, there is a spectator seat. Amanda Hurst and Imanka are sitting there. In addition, there is Jessica, the secretary. Of course, Xiao Zhu's real confidence: Li Mingling Xiao Zhu, Zhang Qiqi, and Guo Jingyun were also there, and on the other side were the family members of the "victims". Xiao Zhu was not only accused of murdering Jerry Lee, but also Jack, another FBI agent, and former Rip The person in charge of the fund.It is worth mentioning that Xiao Zhu's recent "killing" of Will, the prosecutor, was settled as "sudden death" instead, because Xiao Zhu was in prison at the time, although he had the motive of "killing" Will, he did not kill Will. According to Paul's conditions, even Green Smith didn't bother with this matter.

Max picked up the document and began to state the "criminal facts". It is worth noting that Max said this:
"...According to the defendant's own admission...the defendant's frankness...the defendant said..."

Afterwards, Max presented the evidence to the judge, almost all of which were what Xiao Zhu said during the trial.

For a while, there was an uproar in the audience.

"I actually admitted it personally, how is this possible!"

"Mr. Gerrett wants money and women, how could he kill people? I still can't believe it."

"Is there something tricky in this?"

On the prosecution bench, Green Smith was proud of himself. He looked at Xiao Zhu and thought to himself: Even if I knelt down for you back then, so what, you still have to be convicted now!

"Judge, I request that witnesses be called."

The so-called witnesses are actually the original Los Angeles police, as well as Ivy Kennedy and Green Smith. They heard what Xiao Zhu said in person, so they can prove the legitimacy of those videos. Just fit together, although the evidence is still a little weak, as long as the defendant's lawyer can't come up with a strong excuse to get rid of the crime, then the charge is very likely to be established.

Green Smith was the first to appear. He walked up to the witness stand, put his hand on the book and swore an oath of fairness, justice and truth, and then said loudly: "I certify that it was Gerrett Diao who was interrogated by me personally, and he was extremely arrogant. Tell me, even if he said that he killed someone, I still can't convict him!"

"This is a piece of rubbish that crazily despises society, has strong self-righteousness, and regards human life as a joke. I ask the judge to deal with it severely! People like Grete Diao, who has a huge amount of property and a strong network of relationships, like this People who commit crimes are the source of the threat to the entire social unrest, I request that Gretel Diao be sentenced to death!"

"Wow"

Accompanied by Green Smith's words, the entire audience was boiling, and many people even stood up.

Zhang Qiqi squeezed Guo Jingyun's hand nervously, and said with some panic, "What's the situation? You're going to be sentenced to death?"

Guo Jingyun didn't say a word, but bit her lips tightly. Beside them, Li Mingling said softly: "Don't worry, it's not that serious. According to my understanding, although the United States has the death penalty, it hasn't been executed for decades! In the United States, there are voices against the death penalty everywhere, thinking that it is an act without human rights."

Jessica was sitting next to them, and explained at this time: "Yes, in the United States, the death penalty is opposed by most people. In fact, Green said this just to scare people. In fact, his purpose should be to sentence A minimum of 20 years for Mr. Garrett!"

"Hmph, what he thinks is quite beautiful." Yimanka sneered, but when she looked at Xiao Zhu with beautiful eyes, she showed helplessness, she shook her head and said, "I just don't understand, why did Gretel plead guilty? "

Amanda laughed beside him and said, "Isn't our man like this? The photo incident was so hot a few days ago, and he didn't look indifferent? Even a lot of photos have not been taken back yet!"

Imanka smiled bitterly: "Coincidentally, the news of the photo was completely suppressed by the news of Gerrit's murder. He made himself the focus, and the two of us were able to get away instead."

"I heard that this is a kind of manipulation of public opinion. He also made some plans in prison. We just need to follow what he said, don't we?" Amanda became relaxed when she said this stand up.

"It makes sense, it's useless to worry now, just look at the next witness."

"I swear that everything I say is true..."

The second witness is Ivy Kennedy. She has been with Green Smith from the beginning to the end and witnessed all the actions of Green Smith and Xiao Zhu.

At this moment, Max was about to ask a question, Xiao Zhu glanced at the lawyer Baker Mai Jianshi beside him.

Baker-Mai immediately stood up and said, "Your Honor, please allow me to ask the witness questions."

"allow"

Baker looked at Ivy Kennedy and asked with a smile: "Miss Ivy, I would like to ask you about your occupation with Mr. Greensmith?"

"We are the FBI." Ivy said lightly.

"FBI? Since it is such a high-level department, how did you notice my employer, Mr. Gretel?"

"This is a confidential case!" Green Smith stood up and protested.

"Your Honor, even the director of the FBI can't interrupt court presentations now, can you?" Baker said to the judge.

The judge nodded and said to Green Smith: "Mr. Green Smith, please abide by the order of the court."

With a sullen face, Green sneered and said, "I'd like to see how you explain your plea."

Facing the question, Ivy pretended to hesitate, and then said: "When we were investigating a CIA case, we believed that the competitor CIA was obstructed to some extent, and even a mission was abandoned by the CIA. Mr. Greensmith thought this was a case of our FBI. Opportunity, so let us take over the investigation of that case, which is the Hawaii attack case. Mr. Gerrit Diao was the target of the attack at that time. Besides him, other targets included Miss Amanda and Miss Imanka ! And the attacker was a veteran of the Marine Corps contacted by the CIA!"

Following Ivy's words, the entire courtroom fell into an uproar again. No one expected that Gretel's murder case would involve such a secret thing. The CIA and FBI, the two major mysterious organizations in the United States, are both well-known. , Just by hearing the name, you can tell how awesome it is!
"Silence! Please maintain order in the courtroom! Bang bang bang!"

The judge struck the gavel to maintain order in the courtroom.

Baker continued to ask: "Miss Ivy, what do you mean to say, you know about this attack, but instead of investigating the attacker, you investigate the victim?"

Ivy Kennedy took a deep breath, nodded and said, "That's right!"

"My God, why is there such a reason in this world? Since you know who the victim is, why don't you investigate? Could it be that Chief Greensmith has a grudge against Mr. Greeter?" Baker continued to ask.

"As far as I know, they didn't know each other before."

"why?"

"Director Greensmith believes that Mr. Greeter is a rich man from China. If he does what the CIA can't do, he can get rich political achievements. Of course, there may be other benefits. You all know that if Gretel was convicted by the FBI, so as a special intelligence agency, the FBI can directly confiscate all of Mr. Gerrit's property."

Ivy Kennedy calmly narrated that these are the truth, so Green Smith stared at Ivy with his mouth wide open, but could not refute.

"Your Honor, I object. The question asked by the defendant's lawyer has nothing to do with this case." Until then, Max came late and said what he should say.In fact, as early as Baker's first question, Max could directly interrupt it. Of course, he has asked it now after all, which is in line with his attitude of not wanting to help.

"Your Honor, this is not irrelevant. The question I am going to ask next will prove that Green committed perjury! What he described, the so-called 'guilt confession process' of my client, Mr. Greeter, is false! My client, It is innocent at all!"

Accompanied by Baker's words, the court was once again in an uproar. Just now, Green Smith directly declared that Xiao Zhu would be sentenced to death. Fortunately, this guy directly declared Xiao Zhu's innocence. The gap between the two aspects must be too great.

"Miss Ivy, let me ask you, why did you turn off the surveillance video before Mr. Greeter's so-called plea?"

Ivy Kennedy hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Green said he wanted to persuade Mr. Greeter, so he asked us to turn off the surveillance video!"

Greensmith gritted his teeth and said nothing. Too many people knew about this and he couldn't refute it.Of course, he knew that according to the development of the facts, it was Xiao Zhu who arrogantly said that he wanted to plead guilty, but he was not wrong.

At this time, Baker suddenly said: "So, I suspect that my client was actually threatened by Mr. Greensmith. As you can imagine, my client is just an ordinary foreign businessman. For such a high and mighty figure as Commissioner Greensmith, he is powerless, so when Mr. Greensmith said to let my client plead guilty, my client was forced to say those words .”

"You're lying! Not at all. Gretel is a lunatic. How could he be threatened by me? In fact, he threatened me. He wanted me to kneel down. He said that after I knelt down, he would plead guilty!"

Green Smith stood up immediately. He felt that he had waited for an "opportunity". He couldn't refute what Ivy said just now, because it was all true, but what Baker said at this time was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Baker looked at him and asked directly: "Director Green, do you have evidence? If not, then you are now slandering my client as a witness, and I can sue you for perjury and defamation. "

Green Smith was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had turned off the surveillance at that time, and how could he let others know about his ugly appearance because he was about to kneel.

What to do, it's over!Did that guy know about this scene?So just plead guilty?Green Smith thought in a panic.

But I heard Baker continue to say: "It seems that you have no evidence. Mr. Prosecutor, we all know that the prosecution's accusation requires you to provide evidence, not ourselves. That is to say: the prosecutor needs to prove my The client committed the crime, not us to prove our innocence."

"Even if out of 1 possibilities, there is only one possibility that my client did not commit a crime, but as long as you can't rule out this possibility, then my client is innocent!"

What Baker is talking about now is a typical innocence regulation in modern law. This thing stipulates that the public prosecution unit must collect sufficient unimaginable evidence to prove that the prisoner has committed murder. As long as there is a problem in one of the links, the crime will not be established.It's not that the crime didn't happen, but that the court couldn't find the criminal guilty.

To put it bluntly, this is a legal provision for those who can create unlimited possibilities. Most lawyers rely on this stuff for a living.

"My client recorded the content under duress. The inspector cannot deny the possibility, so the evidence is not sufficient. As far as I know, almost all the victims have no symptoms. Death from cardiac arrest is a rare physiological phenomenon, but it is not impossible. Perhaps each of the victims was not in good health, so they died of cardiac arrest one after another, although this is hard to believe , but it’s possible after all, isn’t it?”

With his hands behind his back, Baker said confidently that he felt that he had won again, and this time it would bring him huge benefits.
