Chapter 1122

"The people of kalikan said..."

The court was reopened in the afternoon. Due to Heinrich's temporary change of mind and withdrawal of his testimony, the prosecution's lawyer applied for a recess, but the defense's dream lawyer group disagreed. The judge called both sides into the office for emergency mediation. Song Ya was sitting in the dock and waiting. Ms. Sloan walked behind him and whispered the latest progress.

"Yes." Song Ya covered his hand in front of his mouth and nodded.

"Are you sure?" Sloane makes the final confirmation.

"It's fair that the first to admit defeat and the other to be forgiven." Song Ya said.

"Then I'll start negotiating with the people of kalikan?"

"Silence!"

Sloane was talking when the bailiff suddenly called out.

It turns out that the judge has returned, and so are the lawyers for the prosecution and the defense. Will Gardner gives a thumbs up on this side and should get a satisfactory result.

"Well, you can do it."

Songya raised his right hand and let Cochrane stand on his side. He noticed that the prosecution's former Cook County prosecutor, Charles, was angry, while the special prosecutor and his two subordinates were expressionless. There seemed to be some disagreement among them.

"As a witness is unable to testify and withdraws his testimony, the trial process in the afternoon will be adjusted accordingly. Please sit down." The judge motioned for a seat.

Song Ya sat down and looked back. Sloan had opened the door of the courtroom and went out.

"Then please ask Alexander song, the defendant, to enter the witness box for questioning by lawyers from both sides." The judge soon ordered again.

"Don't be nervous."

Cochrane whispered, then cooperated with the bailiff to push his wheelchair to the side of the witness box. The bailiff opened the waist door of the witness box and was about to help, "no, I'll do it myself." Song Ya laughs. He pulls the wooden railing and uses his hands to move his body to the chair of the witness box.

Now, on his right hand side is a high judge, very close. On his left hand side, there are 12 jury members behind him, across a wooden fence, and in front of him are the bailiffs guarding the waist gate. He can see Cochrane pushing the empty wheelchair back into the dock, the dream lawyers over there, and the prosecution prosecutors across the aisle.

The auditorium was still full, and everyone's eyes were focused on themselves. The scene was very quiet, with occasional throat clearing cough or two.

There are also some subtle rustling sounds. Some people look up at themselves from time to time, and then write and draw on paper. Because the trial is not allowed to be broadcast live, the kind of live sketch that will be published by the media should come from these people.

He was not very nervous. He had leisure in his mind to think about the first compromise of Carl Icahn. In fact, Heinrich's Bureau was specially set up for Carl Icahn. The old fox ran away before he shot a foot at the door? He's a little sorry, but it's good to think about it. Carl Icahn first compromised. Then the Americana music website case will be much better solved than the compromise between delay and Hamlin.

"Is it OK to sit like this?" The judge looked aside and asked.

"No, that's good. Thank you, your honor."

Apart from the fact that the chair was a little stiff, Sonya gave him a sincere smile, then nodded to the jury, and then raised her hand to say hello to Aunt Susie, Tony, Connie, Emily and Maria Kelly with little rega in her arms.

"Alexander song, please take your oath."

The judge's assistant came to help with the oath, "hands on..."

"Oh." Sonya put his hand on the cover of the Bible, raised the other hand, palmed outwards, and read after the other: "I, Alexander song, swear to the Almighty God that all my testimony in this case is true, complete and absolute..."

"It's up to defense lawyers to question first." Said the judge.

Or will Gardner, slowly approaching himself, "aplus, you just graduated from high school in 1992, right?" His first questions were basic information about the Barnes case, in order to get rid of his nervousness.

"Yes." Song Ya only gave a positive answer.

"Well, what was your itinerary before you arrived at the Barnes fluorescent factory and the general manager testified that you ordered him to provide technical information to Chinese enterprises?" Will Gardner asked.

"Maria Kelly and I It's my ex-wife doing a business show in Los Angeles. " Song Ya replied.

"Before the commercial performance?"

It's all set up dialogues, "shooting the MV of where is the love with director Larry Jordan, Fergie and others, in the house I rent in Beverly Hills."

"Fergie was your girlfriend, wasn't she? Your relationship with Maria Kelly is just... " Will asked again.

"Yes, I was very good friends with her." Song Ya looks at her ex-wife, who has beeped up her mouth.

The audience also looked at her, "is this related to this case?" The prosecution's chaltz protested loudly to the judge.

"Please be patient." Will dropped a word and then asked, "do you remember earlier? APLUS。”

"Er Harry berry and I went to parties in Hollywood, you know, there's parties almost every day, and we've had a couple of them"You had a fight with Shirley Finn's boyfriend at the time at one of the parties, right?"

"Yes."

Someone in the auditorium had already laughed, and Maria Kelly's face became more and more ugly. Song Ya felt that she would suddenly announce that she had been together with herself at that time. She lowered her head to avoid her eyes.

"After going to the fluorescent factory?" Will asked again.

"Er In Chicago, we had a big fight with Fergie about renewing his contract, but we soon got together and went into the studio to record songs

"After that?"

"I concentrated on recording songs. Later I went to New York to record where is the love's star band, went to the recording studio, and had dinner and parties with friends like Maria Kelly, Walter afanayev, and escubo And so on. It's all about it. " Song Ya replied.

"This is the testimony of the people concerned, Fergie's, Larry Jordan's, ACE Cooper's And Maria Kelly's, of course Will pointed to Maria Kelly over there and handed out the papers to the judges and jurors.

"Don't procrastinate!" Charltz sat there again and yelled.

"Don't be impatient."

Will went on to ask, "aplus, you drink when you go to parties, dinner parties and record songs, right?"

"Yes, drinking, singing on stage, recording songs, going to parties and parties, and then drinking more wine, that's basically the life of hip-hop singers." Song Ya replied.

"Then how can you take care of your business?" Will revealed so much of the real purpose that had been laid before him, exaggerating to pretend to care.

"I Hehe, I have no time to manage any business. " Song Ya also cooperate very well, wry smile, "occasionally when I think of it, I call the manager to ask about the progress, that's it."

"Have you studied chemical plants in depth?"

"No, I just heard that the business would make money, so I did

"You don't care?"

"Well, I still care. After all, I invested money But I don't understand the chemical industry, and I don't understand it now. "

"Well, I'm done with my question."

Wil Gardner schran returned to the dock.

"Prosecution counsel." Said the judge.

Charles sneered and got up to stare at himself as he approached.

Song Ya also looked at him calmly.

"Aplus, how did you do when you graduated from high school that year?" Asked charltz.

"Not bad."

"GPA is a! Full marks in math "You were admitted to the University of Chicago in 1993, and your act scores were very high. What about your grades when you graduated from the University of Chicago four years later?"

"Er..."

He did not wait for song ya to reply, "graduate as an excellent student! You've also made a series of smart investments over the years, and I'd like to draw the jury's attention to the fact that the man in front of you is a millionaire under 23 years old! And the youngest self-made millionaire in the world! How many people are now worth more than one billion? Just over 60! Jurors, please immediately forget the deliberate misleading of the defense lawyer! In this case, you must not use the standard of ordinary people to treat the defendant! Aplus is a far smarter and energetic genius than us. How many people in the whole country can cheat him!? I? You? Or Mr. general manager in the morning? It's impossible! "

When he finished, he found that the situation was a little wrong. The black woman in the jury nodded to aplus and looked back. The old special prosecutor was already helping his forehead in despair and sighing.

There was a sudden silence in the hall. Song Ya only heard the crackle of the stenographer's typing. He turned his head and looked at the judge. He shrugged innocently, indicating that the prosecution lawyer had not asked me to answer anything.

"Aplus, you only need to answer the judges and jurors. Have you ever ordered the general manager to take away those prohibited technical materials to Chinese enterprises?" Charltz went back to make up for it.

"I don't remember." Song Ya replied.

"The penalty for perjury is very severe." Charltz laughed, also with his hands on the wooden railing of the witness box, his face close to song ya, under pressure, "you remember a lot of things, but this one?"

"If you live the same life as me, you will forget it." Song Ya replied.

"That's big business." Charltz said.

"I had just returned to Chicago from Los Angeles and was going to New York again. I was too busy to remember and had a hangover."

"You're lying!"

"I don't have to lie, of course, whatever you think of me." Songya looked at him directly. "Oh, yes, I apologize. I supported your opponent in one election, Mr. former state attorney."

However, there was no way to avoid being splashed with dirty water. "In addition to Mr. general manager, I also have the testimony of the workers, security personnel and engineers who were present at that time. The evidence is conclusive."

Instead, he began to distribute documents to judges and jurors. "Mr. Edward, one of the original owners of Bain company and a Wall Street investor, testified that he had a long and hard seesaw negotiation with aplus about the sale of the factory. He said aplus had excellent business skills, which almost dragged them to the last breath when their capital chain was about to break I bought that factory for a small price, and by the time aplus resells the factory, the investment has already doubled, not even! ""Well, let me make it clear that I didn't mean to engage in any kind of seesaw negotiation with Mr. Edward, or to use delaying tactics. I just simply forgot about this business. Most of the time, I focused on music career, and Pleasure. "

Damn Edward! Old Baen didn't get involved. Song Ya quickly explained.

"Cheat the ghost

With a winning smile, charltz began to address the jury. "Whether you sympathize with the defendant or appreciate the defendant, I would like to remind you that the only key to this case is whether aplus, as the owner of the bain fluorescent factory at that time, personally ordered the technical data to be taken to countries where export was prohibited. Our chain of evidence is very complete. He deserves to be convicted 100 percent! "

"Guilty! Guilty

Sunnyvale, delay keeps looking at his watch, his phone, praying.

"Bang bang!" The locked door of the office was suddenly knocked, "don't disturb me!" He yelled impatiently.

"Open the door!" The voice was the man of demingxin, who was twisting the door handle roughly! Open the damn door

“FXXK！ What's the matter? " He had to get up and open the door.

Demingxin's people came in and gave him a shove, "Carl Icahn sold us! Fool Then he breathed out all the sundries on his boss's desk angrily, "you're finished! Dilly

"There is no sentence yet! I didn't get a call! " Delay yelled at him, jumped to the floor and put the phone back together to check if it was on.

"It doesn't matter to us anymore. You're pathetic Delay, it's two months to be a billionaire, and now... "

Demingxin's man kicked away the debris on the ground and glanced at Dilai, who was kneeling on the ground with disgust, "forget it, it's too late to say more I'm sorry. We have to consider our own interests. Goodbye. "

"Hey! What the hell is going on? " Dilai called to the other side's back, but there was no answer.

"My new number."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hamlin found a public phone near the new place of residence on time and reported the number to him. "How's the trial going?"

"I've been trying to get in touch with you, but I can't get in touch with you!" The man on the other end of the line was anxious.

"Sorry, I can't stay in one place too long." Hamlin apologized.

"One key witness did not appear and he withdrew his testimony and testimony." The man reported: "but the trial is still in progress. Others say that it is possible to pronounce a sentence today, or continue to suspend the court, half to half."

"Yes, that's enough information. Thank you."

Hamlin sighed. "From now on, I'll contact you from time to time. The number just now is invalid. That's it."

He made a quick decision, hung up the phone and beckoned for a taxi, "to the coach stop." Explain to the driver in simple Spanish.

Song Ya has already been pushed back to the dock, and there is no new idea in the Barnes case. After several rounds of intense questioning, the dream lawyer group seems to have won the approval of most of the jury members. Anyway, this is the judgment of micro expression experts.

However, if the jury members are absolutely rational, they still have the possibility of being convicted.

Now it is the witness testimony session of experts from both sides, "sensitizer is sensitizer, and catalyst is catalyst. As an expert in related fields, I have dealt with Mr. general manager at the research meeting. I think it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake." Our expert witness said.

"We generally don't explain the reaction process to ordinary people outside the industry, because the listeners don't understand it at all, so they can only use a way that is easy for the other party to understand..."

The prosecution expert witness said: "therefore, the professional name of sensitizer is often referred to as catalyst in general Or just call it reactants, depending on the level of the listener. "

"That's not true." Will Gardner interrupted him.

"Yes, it's not a fact, but it's also a default way of statement. We are industry experts and enterprise managers, but we are not teachers in schools, and we have no obligation to teach others." Answer.

"Not to the boss, either?" Will asked with a smile.

"Er It depends. "

"Yes, it depends. I've learned that when it's good for you Will grabs the handle.

"I'm against it!" "This guy is always misinterpreting the testimony of witnesses," charltz interrupted immediately

"Objection is valid."

"I apologize. I'm done with my questions." Will came back triumphantly.

"Lawyers on both sides can make concluding statements." Said the judge.

"Mr. Doug? Now you can... "

Outside the district attorney's office in Manhattan, the female secretary came out to invite Doug to meet with prosecutor Spitzer again. "Where are the people?" But the man who had been sitting on the bench for a whole day suddenly disappeared. "What about that freak?" She asked the other staff.

"I don't know. It seems to be gone." The staff shook their heads blankly."Icahn capital and the prosecution have just reached a settlement, which we think is conducive to the rapid resolution of the Americana music website case, and I personally very welcome it."

Alicia appeared at the gate of the local court in Silicon Valley and told reporters with great optimism: "this is the most significant progress in this case so far."

"Can you be specific?" Reporters frantically moved forward and put the camera close to the face of the governor's wife of Illinois.

"Oh, sorry."

Alicia waved her hand happily. "We need some time to study the concrete evidence."

"Mrs. flock! Mrs. flock The reporters went all the way to the door of the court.

“SHXT！ SHXT！”

After reading the news, delay reflected. He held his head in his hands and said to himself in his office, "didi!" There were two sharp buzzing sounds from downstairs, like those of police cars.

He rushed to the window. It was really police cars, two cars, and then two more. Several police officers came down from the top and gathered at the door to discuss something.

Soon, some cars and motorcycles of various brands gathered around the periphery, carrying cameras and microphones

He forced himself to calm down and went out to call the internal lawyer of the website. As soon as he got to the hall, he noticed that the atmosphere was even more wrong. All the employees stood up in a daze and whispered with the people in the nearby work station.

"Do your work!" He cursed.

But this time, no one listened to him. Instead, the staff did not sit down. Instead, they stayed away and gathered more together. Their eyes were empty. They had no emotion or fear, just like the jurors who were examining and sentencing.

"Please note that the case happened in 1992 when aplus, the defendant, just graduated from high school. He was not the most popular African American singer or the richest African American. After he was about to achieve these two achievements, he was on horseback..."

After charltz's repeated concluding remarks, Cochrane, the black barrister, stood before the jury. He turned around, turned to a pistol with his thumb and forefinger, and aimed at Sonya, "bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang Six shots were simulated with the mouth.

Song Ya turned his face away from the muzzle of his gun. He sighed, his eyes were empty, and his expression seemed to be still a little shaken.

"While there is still a shooter at large."

Cochrane went on to say, "this 1992 case is getting entangled with aplus, ComeOn! What did he know, jurors? What do you know? What were you doing when you were seventeen or eighteen? Think about it, if you are young and famous, surrounded by countless beautiful men... "

Yeah? Song Ya looks back at Cochrane.

"Women..."

Don't breathe so much. Hello!

"Wine, endless parties and parties, flying from the west coast to the Midwest, and then to the west coast, either on the plane or in the studio..."

Cochrane continued will's strategy, "which of you has time to distinguish between catalysts and sensitizers? If it wasn't for this case, I didn't even know those two words! Really? And who can tell from the documents in a whole warehouse which violate the batumis agreement established in 1949? Oh, by the way, that backward age agreement has been dissolved for three years, just two years after 1992, how ridiculous

"Aplus, where is the love he was recording at that time, was a song he wrote for the Los Angeles incident in 1992. I think all of you have the impression that if he didn't use this song to soothe our hearts, Chicago would have fallen into greater turmoil..."

"God has made a miracle to let him escape from the fatal gunshot wound. He has just woken up from a coma of five months and is still unable to move. I think such a person will not and should not be sent to prison again, because of five years! A statement five years ago that couldn't even be defined... "

Cochrane made a long speech, and the goal of persuasion was clearly on the black members of the jury.

"The power of choice is in your hands. Jurors, I ask you to make a fair decision. Aplus and I only want to be treated fairly by the whole society, at least fair. Thank you, thank you."

Cochrane sat back next to Sonya choked, hugging and slapping on the back.

"For the time being, I would like to remind jurors that the definition of a crime should not be based on emotion, but should be judged on the evidence you have obtained in the trial."

The judge, perhaps aware of Cochrane's agitation, added before knocking down the hammer.

"Hey! You... " Tony was angry to speak to the judge, and the lawyers stopped him.

The bailiff took the 12 jury members out of the hall, and the judge also left. Song Ya and others sat in the same place to rest and chat. His ex-wife took the opportunity to pinch his arm.

Others take advantage of this opportunity to get in and out.

"What will happen to me?" Delay asked the website's in-house lawyer.

"Er I don't know what Icahn wants And I'm not your personal lawyer, Mr. President. You may need to consult your personal lawyer about this matter. " The lawyer inside the website answers.Delay glared at him.

"As soon as possible, you will need money, a lot of money, before your personal account is frozen." Internal lawyers are more kind.

"Damn it!"

Delay thought of what, regardless of other, ran downstairs, when he drove out of the parking lot, the police car immediately followed, but should not have received the arrest warrant, "I'll see you at the bank!"

He made an appointment with a private lawyer, drove straight to the bank, whether the car would be towed away or not, and the paparazzi on the back seat of the motorcycle who were slapping at him fiercely, and then ran into the door.

"Yes, just a moment, Mr. delay." The bank manager, who has been friendly for many years, is still enthusiastic, "do those reporters outside want to interview you? Wow... " Just full of compliments and readily agreed to withdraw large amount of cash without appointment, "er Wait. " After a few keystrokes, I looked at the screen and hesitated, "I need to call my superiors. Soon."

“FXXK！ Don't play with me

Delay crazily stretched out his head to look at the other side's computer screen, the manager immediately alertly turned off the big butt monitor, "please wait a moment." He called in the guard at the door. "I'll be right back."

Delay went to press the display switch again, but unfortunately, he was physically stopped by the security guard.

"Alas

Hamlin had already got on the bus to the border between China and Mexico. There were few people there. He shrank behind and lowered his cowboy hat. So far, he had to go back to the United States to face all this and hope to end his life and psychological torture in Tibet as soon as possible. He closed his eyes, and regretted. Naturally, he regretted, but it was really bad luck. Who knows aplus was unconscious for several months and lay down It's almost useless in bed, and

If he and Goodman had not consulted doctors in private, how could they have done so?

"Alas He sighed again.

"Silence!"

At five o'clock, the judge came back and reopened, "so fast? Has the jury reached an agreement? " He asked the jurors who had been brought back.

"Yes or no." The head of the jury, elected by twelve jurors, handed a note to the bailiff, who then referred it to the judge.

"I see. Announce it." The judge nodded.

"All up The people who had just sat down had to stand up again.

Sonya's hand was on Cochrane's arm, and even though he knew the odds were great, he began to be nervous.

"The jury found that the defendant, Alexander song, was guilty of conspiracy It doesn't work! "

Tony and Susie behind song Ya cheered, and many people in the auditorium began to celebrate.

He felt slapped on his shoulder. He didn't know whether will or Diane was going to be. Tony twisted his butt against the gloomy plaintiff's seat.

But it's not over, and he stares at the head of the jury reading the note.

"Accused Alexander song of fraud It doesn't work! "

People cheered even more.

What about another one? Song Ya frowned, it should be three charges, but the head of the jury announced only two, then returned the note to the bailiff, and then sat back in his place.

"The jury has not reached a consensus on the defendant Alexander song's illegal trading charges." Said the judge.

“WTF！” Tony's starting to make a fuss again.

Song Ya sat down unhappily.

The judge did not investigate, "the next court time..."

"Well, the defense applied for another temporary recess." In fact, Diane Lockhart, the commander-in-chief, interrupted the judge, "five minutes." "We need urgent communication with the prosecution," she said

"Yes." Judge's approval.

"Have a chat?" Diane goes to the prosecution team.

"OK." The old man of the special prosecutor agreed that all lawyers from both sides would go out.

"Are you all right?" Maria Kelly asked, worried.

"It's ok..." Song Ya shook her hand.

A little bit of suffering, he scratched his head and waited in silence.

“FXXK！” Fortunately, I didn't wait too long. When the gate opened, there was a faint voice of charltz's curse coming in, which showed that

Song Ya was very happy.

"Is $7.8 million fine OK?" Diane asked.

"I can't be suspended. I'll be touring next year." Song Ya replied.

"No probation, fine."

"Well, let's end this damn thing."

Song Ya doesn't want to risk waiting for the next court session. The price is OK. Let's spend money to relieve the disaster. Anyway, Bain chemical made more than 7.8 million yuan for itself.

"We have reached an agreement, your honor." Diane and the special prosecutor went to the judge's bench and whispered that song Ya had looked at her, and that she did not appear again. She seemed to be angry.

"The defendant Alexander song's crime of illegal trading was settled out of court by both the prosecution and the defense. The trial of this case is over. Thank you for your hard work..." The judge rapped the hammer down.

"Yes Most of the people in the hall were in a state of euphoria.www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
