Blackstone Code

By then... you'll understand.

Senator Langdon vaguely understood something, but he didn't fully understand it.

It was originally planned that the York Gang would have a party in the evening, but because Senator Langdon was currently a "newsmaker".

His attendance will definitely attract the attention of many reporters. Although the existence of the York Gang is not illegal and does not affect the operation of the federal government, the behavior of "gang formation" itself is slightly inappropriate. Suitable for reporting.

And he is the core figure, so this gathering can only be postponed temporarily.

Anyway, everyone will be here for a long time. Many proposals were submitted to Congress today, and each proposal needs to be reviewed and voted on.

Therefore, members of Congress will be relatively busy during this period. On the one hand, they are working within various committees, and on the other hand, they are doing congressional legislation and other work. Members of the House of Representatives will have a harder time, and no one will leave.

After the trial is over, he can bring everyone together, and there will be no risk of public opinion.

The influence of this piece of news is actually greater than Senator Langdon imagined.

At night, he saw on the TV those lawyers who wanted to represent the two victims for free.

His expression and emotion are calm, and the young man on TV is calling for people's attention and attention.

After the show ended, he was still a little uneasy and called Lynch.

The call was answered quickly.

"I, Langdon, did you read the news just now?"

Lynch picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. The last news on the TV had ended, but the one being played was still related to the matter of Senator Langdon's son.

Maybe it's because there haven't been any major events in the Federation recently, so news like this can appear on TV frequently.

It is also possible that Senator Langdon has attracted people's attention because of his special status.

At this time, the host was talking about the issue of judicial compensation, guessing how much Senator Langdon would have to spend to gain forgiveness from the victims, especially the families of the deceased.

Active reparation is one of the manifestations of repentance at any time and anywhere, and it is also one of the most important manifestations.

In the past two days, the family members of the deceased said that they would never reconcile even if they paid one million. They had no other demands but hoped that Senator Langdon's son could be executed.

He must use his death to comfort the death of his child!

It's a shocking statement, so it has become a hot topic of discussion. Some people even think...why is the deceased not one of them?

There can be many people, as long as they are born.

But not everyone can earn one million.

Lynch's attention returned from the TV to the phone, "Yes, I just watched it, what's the matter?"

Senator Langdon took a deep breath, "I'm a little uneasy. Almost all TV reports are about these things. Its influence is much greater than we imagined..."

Lynch interrupted, "Are you worried that the results will exceed our expectations?"

"Yes, I'm worried about that."

Lynch put down the things in his hands and comforted him, "Don't worry, the lawyer said nothing will happen to him. Maybe his life in prison will not be easy, but it will make him mature."

"That's not what I'm worried about..." Senator Langdon's voice was calm. "I'm worried that public opinion will be led astray by some people."

"We all know that there are many people at the bottom of society who hate people like us. Now is a very special period, if this kind of hatred is aroused."

"The eucalyptus itself will become less important, and the conflict and hatred will be focused on me."

Lynch thought for a while and realized that Senator Langdon's concerns were normal.

There is never a shortage of conspiracy theorists in federal society, especially at the bottom of federal society.

In the eyes of these people, their poverty is not because they are not working hard enough, nor because they are not lucky enough, but simply because this society is controlled by a group of conspirators.

So they have no chance to become a successful person. They believe that everything that is not in their own interests is the result of conspiracy and manipulation!

There are many such people and they have many dangerous ideas. Usually these ideas will not be of much use in their boring lives.

In addition to complaining about work and politics when you drink too much, it can only be used to prove that "you are the only one who is sober."

But once someone aroused the emotions of these people, they found a point to vent, and focused the problem on Senator Langdon.

Regardless of the outcome of the final trial, it will be a heavy blow to Senator Langdon.

Lynch also frowned, "What are you going to do?"

"My idea is... to make him the victim..."

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the lawyer in charge of the case was already preparing to take a break when a phone call came to his hand.

A few minutes later, he sat back at his desk and started writing a new plan.

The next morning, the lawyer arrived with his briefcase outside the current residence of the girl in the case, where she now lives with her family.

This is a single-family house in a middle-class neighborhood. Although it is a single-family house, it is not a villa.

The villa has more supporting facilities, but here, there are only small yards at the front and back.

There are many reporters outside the courtyard, and they are exchanging some gossip. Obviously, the community service company has not been able to block their "freedom of press."

The lawyer strode towards the house of the girl's family, and reporters began to take pictures of the reporter who suddenly appeared.

Someone recognized him and pointed out his name and law firm.

This made many reporters excited.

The girl's attorney has been identified, and the lawyer's arrival is obviously not to seek justice for the girl.

Isn't the purpose of hiring a barrister to minimize the consequences?

This was completely contrary to what Senator Langdon said publicly. The reporters crowded towards the lawyer. They held the microphones in their hands to the front of their limbs and asked roughly the same questions——

"Did Senator Langdon invite you to plead not guilty for his son?"

This is roughly the problem. When lawyers represent cases, they will provide two kinds of defense for the client.

A plea of ​​guilty, and a plea of ​​not guilty.

The purpose of a guilty plea is to minimize the sentence and reduce the consequences when it is impossible to escape guilt.

In fact, this kind of case is not much easier than a not guilty plea, and it is not easy to achieve a satisfactory result, because the nature and relationship of the case have been determined.

It’s so fucking difficult to win the judge’s approval with additional evidence and eloquence!

The innocent defense is a defense based on the fact that the party did not commit any crime.

This seems difficult, but when the case has not been characterized, the relationship has not been determined, and the criminal evidence and facts have not been confirmed, it is not too difficult.

As long as the money is available and you have enough ability, it is easier than pleading guilty.

For such a big-name lawyer to come to visit, it must be for the defense of guilt.

The reporters became excited, and there was another topic for the evening news.

The lawyer didn't answer them, but knocked on the door and handed over his business card.

The girl's parents were hesitant, but still welcomed the lawyer inside.

The family sat on the sofa, and the lawyer found a chair and sat across from them.

He observed the girl.

In fact, the girl was not seriously injured. According to the information received, she only had a scratch on her arm and needed eleven stitches.

Apart from this, there were no other injuries. These wounds could not even be considered injuries in major criminal cases!

"This visit was unplanned and I wanted to have a word with you."

The family was a little cautious, but nodded.

"Relax!", he smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes, "Do you need them?"

The girl took one, and her father also took one. After lighting the cigarettes, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

The lawyer said very directly, "Mr. Langdon invited me to defend his son..." When he said this, the family became nervous.

He quickly explained, "But don't worry, Mr. Langdon is not asking me to exonerate his son, but he hopes that he can be tried according to the law."

"If nothing happens, he will stay in there for a long time."

After saying these words, the girl's family obviously relaxed a little, and her father even said "unbelievable"!

"Yes, it's hard to believe, but that's what Mr. Langdon told me when he commissioned me."

"As a lawyer, when my employer asks me to stand in the middle and deal with this case, I won't take sides."

"If he deserves the death penalty, then I'm not going to exonerate him."

"But in the same way, if he does not deserve the death penalty, then I will find the truth and let him get what he deserves, not excessive punishment."

The girl's father frowned slightly, "What do you mean by these words?"

The lawyer glanced at the girl who kept her head down smoking, and then looked at his father, "Your daughter and my client have always been in a relationship. Someone can prove this, and there is more than one person."

"More importantly, the room where the death occurred was named after my client."

"As an adult, you should understand what I mean..."

At present, the only victim in the whole case, that is, the girl said to the outside world that she and her boyfriend were skiing and then met the person involved.

The parties badgered them and an argument ensued, before they considered the implications and proposed returning to the room to discuss the matter.

Not long after returning to the room, a more intense quarrel broke out, and then the person killed the deceased with a knife, while she hid in the bathroom and escaped.

No one doubts the girl's words, which is why social sentiment is one-sided.

Can a rich and powerful "young master" kill civilians at will?

No!

no way!
