Chapter 1038

"Well, let's get started."

After Charlize sat down, the old prosecutor opened the folder and read a simple opening statement about the case, and then said, "I think we both know that this case has solid evidence, and you have nothing to resist. In order to save everyone's time, I have a very good plea deal here. Would you like to hear it? APLUS。”

Song Ya looks at the ceiling and doesn't answer.

"Go ahead." Diane responded.

On the surface, the leader of the dream lawyer group must be Cochrane, an African American barrister. But Diane Lockhart is unanimously recognized by Chicago based lawyers, and she is generally responsible for specific affairs.

Goodman, as Sonya's most trusted private lawyer, is responsible for controlling key decisions.

"Two years' imprisonment and a fine." The old prosecutor replied.

That sounds good. If there is a probation, you don't have to go to prison. Song Ya looks at Diane. Of course, it's expressionless, as lawyers have repeatedly reminded.

"Your cameras are not working." Cochrane's lawyers found out and whispered to him, pointing to the digital camera.

"It seems to be broken." The old prosecutor's assistant went to play with it again.

"I'd better use a tape recorder. I'm sorry, I'm too old to use this new device." The old prosecutor said with a smile.

Diane asked his men to confirm that the recorder was working properly. "Can you repeat your settlement price?" She asked, "is there a reprieve and what is the exact amount of the fine?"

"Ha ha." The old prosecutor refused to say.

So it was just a language trap to test the bottom line of our reconciliation?

Although the elephant party rushed to pass a series of budget bills by the end of 1996, which was still the majority of the house of Representatives, the situation of the special inspection groups of various levels of parliaments was very different. There was a white water case project for the current commander-in-chief's husband and wife. The budget was extremely high, and it was estimated that it had cost tens of millions from 1994 to now. There are also three person teams to investigate the Barnes case. The two grants have not passed the million mark, and they report to the Ministry of justice after their establishment.

The budget is not large, but song Ya knows that he must not be taken lightly. Because the special prosecutor has great power, he can almost be regarded as a suspect. If the preliminary investigation result is not recognized by the Ministry of justice as lacking of factual basis, he can transfer the case to the federal court.

The special prosecutor may also call a grand jury (a jury of 23 people's Congress is responsible for deciding whether to prosecute the suspect, and a small jury of 12 members is responsible for determining whether the suspect is guilty)

It is also interesting to say that the original intention of the American people, or the people of Northern Rice during the British colonial period, to actively participate in the jury was actually to make trouble in the trial of tax resisters in the British Colonial Court, which had nothing to do with fairness and justice.

Grand jury is not necessary in every case, but once summoned, it will not refuse the prosecutor's request for prosecution unless there are cases involving political factors. In recent years, some data show that the probability of quanmi being indicted by grand jury is 99%, because in this system, the prosecutor is very strong. He is not only the prosecutor, but also the legal adviser of the grand jury, which means that he is both a player and a judge.

The grand jury can also accept evidence that is not allowed in ordinary cases, such as private recordings and lie detection reports.

Therefore, it is a rare victory that the criminal part of MJ's case in 1992 was not allowed to sue by the grand jury of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara County. Although Chandler and his son refused to cooperate with the prosecutors of both places after they received 20 million yuan of civil settlement, they have proved that he is partially innocent.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for ordinary people to understand all kinds of tricks in the legal game. It is for this reason that both the governor and the dream lawyer suggest that they choose to go to the case voluntarily and skip the grand jury step.

It is unrealistic and counterproductive to resist the special prosecutor at the level of prosecution. Once the people hear that the case of Bain is allowed to be prosecuted by the grand jury, they will definitely believe that they are guilty.

Of course, song Ya also knew that he was much better than MJ in those years. Special prosecutor, although the old man looked withered, he was very restrained. He gave the opportunity to come to the case on his own initiative and didn't make any public arrest. Some time ago, he summoned or visited Dow, old Barnes, Edward and some Barnes fluorescent factories in Chicago Employee witnesses, as well as song a Sheng and others involved in the case, investigated and collected evidence without using any coercive means.

He also carefully avoided some of the charges that made the case big. For example, he involved the bain fluorescent factory, which has become a Dow company, as the subject of the lawsuit, and did not involve the military technology in the bain fluorescent factory. According to the provisions of Batumi at that time, if the three prohibitions of military weapons and equipment, cutting-edge technology products and rare materials involved in illegal export to China The export of military weapons and equipment is not the responsibility of the Ministry of justice alone. The Ministry of defense will also participate in it, and even the international emergency economic power bill can be used. There is no need to provide evidence of the illegal behavior of the blocked object. As long as it can be proved that the weapon technology has been obtained by the Chinese military, the exporter can be punished.

He also did not investigate the matter of Bann's chemical equipment export to China, which would bring in the former leaders of the elephant party and hit them in their own feet.Among them, whether Underwood of donkey party or Cheney and former commander of elephant party should exert great pressure secretly.

Therefore, song Ya is now facing charges of illegal trading, that is, illegal sale of cutting-edge technical products in violation of batumis agreement, fraud, providing false information and documents to the export administration department of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, conspiracy, and conspiracy with the former general manager of Barnes fluorescent and song asheng, who is in charge of contacting China.

"The transaction amount of chemical equipment at that time Is that $7 million, right Asked the old prosecutor.

"Yes." Song Ya and the lawyers confirmed the answer.

"Northern Trust owns 20 percent of that?"

"Yes."

"You took 80% of Barnes from its creditors and spent 30 million?"

"Yes."

"That's the net profit..."

"Well, not really. We paid a lot of extra storage, wages and maintenance costs during the transaction."

Goodman replied, "there are other It takes a lot of money to make a big deal. "

"This is the relevant document." Diane pushed the papers she had prepared on her side.

The old prosecutor should have these in his hand, but he still put on his presbyopia glasses and looked at it carefully.

He danced on the tip of a knife. He was very careful. He could not involve Dow, the former grand commander, Cheney and even Underwood in the case. He should also be careful to control the intensity of the black group's trouble, not to cause trouble to the Chicago donkey party and the current general. At the same time, he should make every effort to win the case, whether it is illegal trading, fraud or communism The judge's freedom of sentencing is very high, and the small jury is only responsible for determining whether or not he is guilty.

During the lawsuit, my banknote printing machine can't be shut down. Whether it's football wonder, new year's concert or global tour, it's a big or very important business. I can afford it, but it will lead to the partners, especially to the huge losses of the football special animal and the partner of the global tour, ansuz.

In fact, song Ya doesn't want to have problems with the new year's concert, which will bring a lot of trouble to barrenboy, the top conductor. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is already rehearsing babayetu. Although it is a backup lineup, it will only perform in the middle of the stage.

"APLUS, you ordered the warehouse of Barnes fluoro factory, and ordered the general manager to take the technical data that he did not take on the list of transactions to the Chinese enterprises." the factory is mine. I has the final say, don't rub it up, let them move things away. " Is that right? " Asked the old prosecutor.

"I don't remember." Song Ya replied, "I was only 17 at that time."

"That's not the reason. Remember?"

"Sorry, my client has answered your question clearly." Cochrane interrupts.

"Before that, you had private contact with the other party's enterprise..."

"No

"Sure?"

"Yes, we are sure."

In this meeting, the two sides only need to exchange some documents, which is the stage of mutual trial. The various tricky questions of the prosecution are not enough to see in front of the dream lawyer group. They are easily identified and resolved by Diane and Cochrane.

"It doesn't make sense to talk about it, does it?"

The old prosecutor got nothing. He closed the folder. "In fact, the facts are very clear. There were a lot of witnesses present at that time. You have no chance of winning. Maybe it is a good choice to reconcile with us. It's not a wife killing case, is it? Cochrane. "

"Sorry, we insist on the plea of innocence." Cochrane replied.

"All right."

The first contact between the two sides broke up unhappily, but they will soon meet again, because both sides have to go to the court to fight bail.

"Well done, aplus."

Cochrane watched the trio leave, rubbing Sonya's shoulders.

"I didn't say a word." Song Ya smiles.

"Wait a minute. It's real." Goodman said.

"What are we doing now?" Song Ya raised his wrists, just think of the table is gone, but by feeling time should be early.

"Take a break at noon and see you in the court in the afternoon." The lawyers began to leave.

"I'm resting at the police station?"

Song Yazheng abdominal Fei, the arm was behind the two police officers stand up, "we will take you to rest place." One of them said.

"Oh."

He was taken to the "iron cage" where the prisoners were temporarily detained in the police station. Looking at the street louts who were staring at their own eyes, song Ya turned back, the lawyers, disappeared, bodyguards

"Ha ha ha..."

He saw Kenneth, who had not been seen for a long time, with one hand handcuffed on an iron cage and looking at himself inside, he was overjoyed.

Song Yaxin, who had been arranged earlier, was pushed into the cage obediently by the police.

"Now you are like us! Big star Some do not know whether it is drunkard or drug addict crooked melon crack date wild laugh: "welcome to join!""Bang!"

The cage door was closed.

A white man with yellow teeth and dirty body reached out to grab the corner of his mink coat. Song Ya quickly pulled back, and the guy refused to let go.

A few black men around Kenneth went over and drove him away.

"Sit down." Kenneth patted the bench next to him.

"No

Song Ya's nose is sour. He quickly sucks his nose. He holds the iron cage in his hands and looks out pitifully.
