Chapter 1116

August 9, 1997.

Song Ya left Highland Park to go to the federal court in Chicago's south city. The case of Barnes has been opened for trial again.

Today is a session for the prosecution and defense to select members of the jury.

“APLUS！ Do you think it's the pursuit of you that the case will be reopened before you are fully recovered? "

Wheelchair was pushed up the barrier free ramp, a reporter asked in a loud voice. After discussion, song ya, PGE law firm and their subordinates decided to actively seek for the case, but they certainly would not admit it to the outside world. In public opinion, the federal court will take over the pot.

The flash kept flashing, and song Ya was still wearing sunglasses, but this time he changed his suit and put on a little base makeup. He showed a lot of mental state. He raised his hand with a smile and waved his five fingers outward, indicating that he would not answer this question.

“APLUS！ You look great compared to a month ago! " A reporter complimented.

He said with a wry smile, "thank you Cough. " Clear clear phlegm, "thank you." The voice is still weak.

Now the reporters have a very good attitude towards him. They don't have all kinds of aggressive words and weird feelings. Most of them take photos from afar along with the wheelchair and ask questions in tacit agreement and order.

"What do you think of your former private lawyer showing up in New Mexico and being treated?" Another reporter asked.

Song Ya waved his hand again.

Last month, Goodman was sent to hospital by his brother, Jimi, in New Mexico. He couldn't hide. He was quickly found and monitored by the agents in charge of the Americana music website case.

According to Jimi, it was Hamlin who wanted to contact him, tell him where Goodman was hiding and let him visit. Hamlin was worried about Goodman's physical condition.

Sure enough, Goodman did not run for long before suffering from delusion. According to the information his people inquired about, he claimed to the doctor that he was allergic to sunlight and electromagnetic fields. Before that, every day, mice shrank in the dark dwellings, and did not know how to solve the problem of eating, drinking and Lasa.

Jimi didn't want to be involved in the crime. He took the opportunity to find some of the original files of the Barnes case and the record settlement lawsuit collected by his brother and returned them to express his apology and sincerity.

However, he didn't want his brother to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he continued to cooperate with Hamlin, detained other black materials, and through his ex girlfriend Kim Wexler, he has conducted several rounds of follow-up contacts and negotiations with our side.

It seems that Goodman was forced to get sick under the thunder of his autumn wind sweeping leaves. As the saying goes, he was scared. Suddenly, the former "close minister" did not pose a threat because his illness was mental, and he could be labeled as insane and nonsense at any time.

But Songya knew that Jimi was a crooked devil who could think of a way to turn things around. He didn't want to push too hard.

There is also Hamlin, who is hiding abroad with his money. At present, Hamlin's bottom line is that the money can be paid back. However, they really can't make up 60 million yuan to pay back, but they can only pay part of it. Moreover, he doesn't act as a tainted witness. After returning to the United States, in addition to personal safety assurance, he even wants to continue to practice.

The implication is to let Goodman, who is going to be a waste man, carry everything. Although Goodman has mental problems, he should not agree with him when he is sober. Therefore, Jimmy and Kim Wexler have not let go. They are still fighting with themselves and Hamlin on the amount of money and as a tainted witness.

Goodman played himself like this, which song Ya didn't expect. He was rather sorry.

"Is it true that you received the same mystic magic treatment as MJ?"

The train of thought was interrupted by a reporter, "it's just a rumor. I only received professional treatment from the University of Chicago and Princeton University Medical Center. You can go and prove it."

2pac on the east coast is dead, and biggie on the west coast is dead. After escaping from death, he is better and better. The relevant conspiracy theories of the outside tabloids are also coming out one after another. Basically, in addition to the old conspiracy theories in rap circles, all the same rumors about MJ after he was burned have been changed and put on himself.

And because of their long-term bed and stay indoors, the skin color turns a little white, so bleaching rumors naturally can't escape.

“APLUS！”

The wheelchair was soon pushed to the door of the courtroom. He turned his head and waved to the reporters who called him. He took up the silver cross on his neck and gave it a kiss.

The procedure of selecting jurors is rather complicated. The court will randomly draw a list of candidates from the local voter registration manual, far more than 12. Because it is necessary to select from the list and remove some stakeholders or those with obvious inclination, the prosecution and the defense also have the right to ask a candidate juror to avoid without reason. However, the power is limited by the number of times of use Several times each.

This is very important for the direction of the case. Both the prosecution and the defense hope to keep the jury members who are beneficial to their own side, and kick out those who may sympathize with the other party.

At the same time, they and the judge also have to deal with all kinds of clever ghosts who dare not come openly, but secretly act as demons to escape the jury duty which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and low-cost.

Song Ya beside PGE law firm people, also sitting Diane Lockhart and wilgardner, heart ache.Goodman broke his contract and fired them in order to save some lawyer's fees. He paid a penalty at that time.

Now, in order to solve the Barnes case as soon as possible, I have to invite these people back again. Originally, the charge is very expensive, once and for all

The emotion he had just raised for Goodman disappeared in an instant, and he could not help hating it even more.

Today, Diane and will also introduce themselves to hiring a micro expression master who claims to be able to observe, through human behavior science, the true views of the candidate jury members towards the accused.

Many lawsuits in the United States, especially the defendant who has enough money to burn, don't mind inviting such a role. The masters have different routes. In addition to those who are good at observing micro expressions, others will say that they have mastered some exclusive scientific algorithms, or directly claim that they can telepathize. In short, it is a metaphysical field.

Today, the 50-60-year-old white master has a good reputation in the industry. It is said that the probability of winning the case of the jury selected by him will be several points higher than the average value, so the charge is extremely expensive.

Song Ya could not have been present in person, but because the master needed to observe the expression of the candidate jury members when they looked at him, he could only go there.

"Aplus, put this on."

Wil Gardner held a red ribbon ornament from an HIV charity and pinned it on his chest. He and Diane and other members of the law team had one on his chest.

What's going on here? "Is it necessary?" Song Ya frowns. He knows that Tony gets involved with this will again in a coma. In fact, he hates him even more than before. If it wasn't for the cooperation between him and Tony that objectively prevents Goodman and protects himself

But in fact, it's hard to say. If Tony and Susie win custody, these Chicago based top lawyers will encourage Tony to be more "clean" than Goodman and Hamlin.

"You'll find out later." Will didn't know his actual psychology. He was happy to sell a pass.

He and Diane were in a very good mood. As the leading members of the dream lawyer group, they just made a show outside. Especially today, Cochrane didn't come.

Whatever you wake up, whatever you think, you need to work with them to solve the Barnes case as soon as possible.

A group of people sat down in the dock. There were no observers today. The special prosecutor for the Barnes case took the former attorney of Kukri state, Charles, in the public prosecution box as early as possible. However, their attitude was much blurred. The old special prosecutor also nodded his head to say hello.

Soon, the trial judge of the Barnes case, a 40 year old, bookish white man appeared and walked to the high bench.

"No, aplus." The judge's attitude is also very friendly, smiling to prevent his hands holding the wheelchair armrest trying to stand up.

"Wait, did you join in?" Suddenly asked the judge.

"What?" Song Ya found that he was just looking at the red ribbon on his chest.

"Yes, your honor." Will answered quickly for him.

"Good..."

The judge was very happy. He also had a red ribbon pinned on his chest. "We need to arouse the public's attention to HIV. This is the social responsibility of all citizens..." Instead of sitting down, he gave an impromptu speech on HIV prevention and control.

So it is. Song Ya secretly gives a look of approval to will Gardner. The top lawyer who has spent a lot of money to invite in is a lot of ways.

Will quickly blinked his eyes in response. As for how he heard this, I think it's the only secret.

The judge finished his speech, "well, these are just some of my personal opinions Sit down, all of you. " He pressed his hands down and glanced at the prosecution stand.

"Yes, yes, you are right, your honor."

Song ya, will and others echoed and applauded, and while sitting down, they also looked at the public prosecution seat.

The special prosecutor and charltz, who felt their smooth chests and sat down with their gloomy faces.

Ha ha, it's a good start.

"After you graduated from college, you joined the party, didn't you?"

Soon the formal process began, and the bailiff brought in 12 candidates for the jury. This was just the first round, and there were still others.

Then there was a question session. Will Gardner began to cross examine a white man in his thirties with information.

"Er It's just Harlem motorcycle club. It's very short. " The white man replied, "then I got a job and I didn't have time to join again."

"But you still keep in touch and personal friendships with the riders?" Will asked again.

"All my friends, of course."

Will turned to the master and whispered, "we don't think this man is suitable for jury work." Ask the judge to remove the opponent from the jury.

The special prosecutor also sent charltz to question and kicked a black aunt out.

"I don't want to come yet." The black aunt swears and leaves.However, no matter how hard the prosecutors try, at least half of the 12 jurors will be black according to the proportion of the population in the South City District where the federal court is located. It's hard to say when I was beset with negative news in the second half of last year, because the court will screen out the middle-class jury members with high education and income level and good record in the past, and the black people at the bottom will be filtered out.

But now, after being shot in a coma, these black people should have at least compassion for themselves.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to look down on the court, I'm just a little tired..."

The whole "draft" process was very lengthy. Song Ya began to play his real acting skills again. He slowly closed his eyes and took a nap. Then he dropped his head heavily. After "sober up", he apologized to the judge.

"It's OK. I understand. You can help yourself, aplus."

It seems that he is a very nice judge who has a friendly view of himself.
