Chicago 1990

Chapter 1037: ?Dancing on the tip of a knife

     "Alright, 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 the evidence of this case is solid, and you have nothing to resist. To save everyone's time, I have a very good plea bargaining condition. Would you like to listen to it? APLUS."

   Song Ya looked at the ceiling and did not answer.

   "Please speak." Diane responded.

   The apparent leader of the Dream Lawyers Group must be the African American Barrister Cochrane, but Diane Lockhard has been unanimously approved by Chicago-based lawyers, and she will generally lead specific matters.

   Goodman, as Song Ya’s most trusted personal lawyer, is responsible for controlling key decisions.

   "Two years in prison and fine." The old prosecutor replied.

   sounds good. If there is a probation, it means there is no need to go to jail. Song Ya looked at Di An. Of course it was expressionless, and lawyers repeatedly reminded this.

   "Your camera is not working." Cochrane's lawyer discovered this and whispered to him, Cochrane pointed to the index number camera and said.

   "It seems broken." The old prosecutor's assistant fiddled with him again.

   "It's better to use a tape recorder, sorry, I am old, I don't know how to use this new type of stuff." The old prosecutor smiled.

   Diane asked his subordinates to confirm that the tape recorder was working properly, "Can you repeat the price of your settlement?" She asked, "Is there a suspended sentence and what is the specific amount of the fine?"

   "Hehe." The old prosecutor refused to say.

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

Although the Elephant Party rushed to pass a series of budget bills at the end of 1996 when the House of Representatives was still the majority, the situation of various special inspection teams at various levels of parliament was very different. There was a Baishui case against the husband and wife of the current chief. The project has a very high budget, and it is estimated that it has cost tens of millions from 1994 to now. There is also a three-person team investigating the Barn case. The two allocations did not exceed the one million mark in total, and reported to the Ministry of Justice after its establishment.

The budget is not large, but Song Ya knows that it must not be taken lightly, because the special prosecutor has a lot of power and can almost be regarded as a suspected crime. Only the preliminary investigation result is not found by the Ministry of Justice to lack factual basis and no further investigation is necessary. , He can transfer the case to the Federal Court.

  The special prosecutor can also call a grand jury. (The 23 grand jury is responsible for deciding whether to prosecute the suspect, and the twelve small jury decides whether the suspect is guilty.)

   It is also interesting to say that the original intention of the American people, or the North American people 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 courts, and it has little to do with fairness.

   The grand jury is not necessary in every case, but once it is called, unless it encounters a case involving political factors, the grand jury will basically not refuse the prosecutor's request for prosecution. According to statistics in recent years, the probability of Quan Mi being allowed to prosecute by the grand jury is 99%, because the prosecutor is very strong in this system. He is both a public prosecutor and a legal adviser to the grand jury. Be a referee.

   The grand jury can also adopt evidence that is not allowed in general case trials, such as private recordings, polygraph reports, etc.

Therefore, it is a rare victory for the criminal part of the MJ 1992 case that the grand jury of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties did not allow the prosecution, although Chandler and his son refused to cooperate with the prosecutions after they received 20 million in the civil settlement. Fang’s sake, but he has been able to prove part of his innocence.

   It is a pity that ordinary people cannot understand the various tricks in the legal game. Both the governor and the dream lawyers suggest that they choose to take the initiative to skip the grand jury step, and it is for this reason.

   It is unrealistic to resist the special prosecutor at the prosecution level, and it will be counterproductive. When people hear that the Barn case is ruled by the grand jury, they will definitely think they are guilty.

Of course, Song Ya also knows that he is much better than MJ’s experience back then. Special prosecutor, although this old man looks awkward, he is actually very restrained. He was given the opportunity to take the initiative to the case and did not play any openly arresting the star’s face. Some time ago, I summoned or visited Dow, Old Barn, Edward, some Barn fluorescent agent factory employee witnesses in Chicago some time ago, as well as Song Asheng and others involved in the case. The investigation and evidence collection did not use any compulsory means.

He also carefully avoided some of the accusations that made the case serious, such as the involvement of the Barn fluorescent agent factory, which has become a subsidiary of Dow, as the subject of the lawsuit, and the military technology in the Barn fluorescent agent factory was not involved. According to Batumi’s regulations that year, among the three prohibitions on military weapons and equipment, cutting-edge technology products and rare materials, if the illegal export of military weapons and equipment to China is involved, it is not a matter for the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of National Defense will also participate. , You can even use the International Emergency Economic Power Act. There is no need to provide evidence of the illegal behavior of the blocked object. As long as it can prove that the weapon technology has been obtained by the Chinese military, the exporter can be sanctioned.

   He also did not investigate the export of Barn's chemical equipment to China itself. That would involve the former leader of the Elephant Party and hit them in the foot.

   Among them, both the Donkey Party’s Underwood, the Elephant Party’s former boss Cheney and the former boss should secretly exert a lot of pressure.

So Song Ya’s current prosecution is illegal trading, that is, illegally selling cutting-edge technology products in violation of the Batumi Agreement, fraud, providing false information and documents to the export management department of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, conspiracy, and Barn fluorescent agent. The general manager and Song Asheng, who was in charge of liaison with Hua Guo, conspired to commit a crime.

   "The amount of chemical equipment transactions at that time... was 57 million dollars, right?" the old prosecutor asked.

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

   "Northern Trust owns 20% of it?"

"Yes."

   "It cost you 30 million to take 80% of it from Barn's creditors?"

"Yes."

   "That is, the net profit..."

   "Uh, you can't do that. During the transaction, we also paid a lot of extra storage, wages and maintenance costs."

   Goodman replied: "There are others... It takes a lot of money to make a big deal."

   "This is a related document." Diane pushed over the document he had prepared.

   The old prosecutor should have these in his hands, but he still put on reading glasses and looked at it seriously.

He danced on the tip of a knife, cautiously, and so did himself. He could neither involve Dow, the former chief, Cheney, and even Underwood in the case, but also carefully control the intensity of the disturbances in the black community. The Chicago Donkey Party and the incumbent leader cause trouble, and at the same time make every effort to win the lawsuit, because whether it is illegal transactions, fraud, or collusion, judges have a very high degree of freedom in sentencing, and the small jury is only responsible for determining whether they are guilty.

And during the lawsuit, my own money printing machine cannot be stopped. Whether football stunner, New Year's concert or global tour is a big or very important business, I can afford it, but it will lead to partners, especially football stunners. And Anschutz, the partner of the global tour, suffered heavy losses.

In fact, Song Ya himself does not want to have a problem with the New Year’s concert. It will cause a lot of trouble for Barenboi, a top conductor friend. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is already rehearsing Babayetu. Although it is a substitute lineup, it will only It will be played in the middle of the closing time.

"APLUS, in front of the warehouse of the Barn Fluorescent Agent Factory, you clearly ordered the then general manager to hand over the technical information that was not on the transaction list to the Chinese enterprise. Your original words were:'The factory is mine. I have the final say, don't rush, let them move the things quickly...'Right?" the old prosecutor asked.

   "I don't remember." Song Ya replied, "I was only seventeen years old."

   "This is not a reason, remember it again?"

   "I'm sorry that my client has answered your question clearly." Cochrane interrupted.

   "Before this, you privately contacted the other company's..."

"No."

   "Are you sure?"

   "Yes, we are sure."

   This time the two parties only need to exchange some documents. It is a mutual trial stage. The prosecutor’s various tricks and tricks are not enough in front of the dream lawyer team. They are easily distinguished and resolved by Diane, Cochran and others.

   "It seems pointless to continue, right?"

The old prosecutor found nothing. He closed the folder. "In fact, the facts are very clear. There were so many witnesses at the scene. You have no chance of winning. Maybe it is a good choice to settle with us. This is not a wife murder case, right? Cork Lun."

   "Sorry, we insist on defending innocence." Cochrane replied.

"Ok."

   The two parties broke up after the first contact, but they will meet again soon because they have to go to the court to fight bail.

   "Good job, APLUS."

   Cochrane watched the trio of Childs and the special prosecutor leave, rubbing Song Ya's shoulder and encouraging.

   "I didn't say a few words." Song Ya forced a smile.

   "Wait for real swords and guns," Goodman said.

   "Then what are we doing now?" Song Ya raised her wrist, only to remember that the watch was gone, but it seemed that it was still early.

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

   "Am I taking a break at the police station?"

   Song Ya was defamation, and his arms were framed by the two police officers at the back. "We will take you to a place to rest~www.wuxiaspot.com~ one of them said.

"Oh."

   was kindly taken to the "iron cage" in the police station where the prisoners were temporarily detained. Looking at the street boys who were staring at him, Song Ya turned back, the lawyers, are gone, bodyguard...

   "Hahaha..."

   He saw Mr. Kenneth, who hadn't seen him for a long time, with one hand in the iron cage. He looked at himself inside, very happy.

   The person who arranged for him early, Song Ya was more determined, and obediently was pushed into the cage by the police officer.

   "Now you are like us! Big star!" Some crooked melon crackers who don't know if they are drunks or addicts laughed wildly: "Welcome to join!"

  ‘哐! ’

   The iron cage door was closed.

   There was a white man who was filthy to death and his mouth full of yellow teeth reached out and grabbed the corner of his mink coat. Song Ya hurriedly pulled back, but that guy would not let go.

   The black people around Kenneth smiled and drove him away.

   "Sit down." Kenneth patted the bench beside him.

   "No more."

   Song Ya's nose was sore, he sucked his nose quickly, held the iron cage with both hands, and looked out pitifully.
