Chicago 1990

"Chicago 1990(

August 9, 1997.

Song Ya left Highland Park and rushed to the Federal Court of South City in Chicago. The Barn case has been opened and adjourned, and the trial process has been re-entered.

Today is the session where the prosecution and defense select the jury members.

"APLUS! The case was retrial before you fully recovered. Do you think it is a pursuit of you?"

The wheelchair was pushed up the barrier-free ramp, and a reporter asked loudly. After discussing the Barn case, Song Ya, PGE Law Firm and his subordinates unanimously decided and actively sought it out, but they would certainly not admit it to the outside world. The federal court would take the pot in public opinion.

The flashes kept flashing. Song Ya was still wearing sunglasses, but this time he changed into a fitted suit with a little makeup, and his mental state was much better. He raised his hand with a smile and opened his five fingers outwards. Swing, signalling will not answer this question.

"APLUS! Compared to a month ago, you look great now!" a reporter complimented.

He smiled bitterly, "Thanks...cough cough." He cleared his phlegm, "Thank you." His voice was still short of breath.

Now reporters have a very good attitude towards him. There is no rushing talk and yin and yang. Most people follow the wheelchair to take pictures and ask questions in order.

"What do you think of your former private lawyer showing up in New Mexico and being sent to a doctor?" another reporter asked.

Song Ya waved his hand again without answering.

Last month, Goodman was sent to a doctor by his brother Jimmy in New Mexico. There was no way to hide. He was quickly found and monitored by the agent in charge of the Amerika Music website case.

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

Sure enough, Goodman suffered from delusion not long after he ran away. According to the news his own people inquired, he claimed to the doctor that he was allergic to sunlight and electromagnetics. Know how to solve the problem of eating and drinking.

Jimmy didn't want to confuse with him, so he took the opportunity to find part of the Barn case and the original file of the record settlement lawsuit hidden by his brother and returned it to express his apology and sincerity.

But he didn’t want his brother to spend the second half of his life in prison, so he continued to cooperate with Hamlin and detained other black materials. Through his ex-girlfriend Jin Wexler, he had already had several rounds of follow-up contact with him. And negotiation.

It seems that Goodman was forced to get sick under the thunder action of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. As the saying goes, he was frightened. This former "near minister" suddenly did not pose a threat, because his illness was mental. Can be labeled as insane at any time gibberish.

But Song Ya knew that Jimmy was a demon knife that could think of a way to reverse the situation, victory was in sight, and he didn't want to push too much.

There is also Hamlin who is hiding overseas with the money. The bottom line of the deal that Hamlin has released is that the money can be paid back, but they really don’t make up enough 60 million to pay back, only part of it, and he doesn’t taint it. Witnesses, in addition to personal safety guarantees after returning to the United States, they even want to continue practicing.

The implication is to let Goodman, who is about to become useless, take care of everything. Although Goodman has mental problems, he should disagree when he is awake, so Jimmy and Jin Wexler did not let go. , In terms of the amount, and the matter of acting as a tainted witness, he is still seeing him and Hamlin.

Song Ya never expected Goodman to play himself like this, and he was quite embarrassed.

"It is rumored that you received the same mysterious witchcraft treatment as MJ, is it true?"

The train of thought was interrupted by a reporter, "It is purely a rumor. I have only received professional treatment from the University of Chicago and Princeton University Medical Center. You can go and verify."

2PAC on the east coast is dead, and Biggie on the west coast is dead. After escaping from the dead, he gets better and better. Conspiracy theories related to gossip tabloids have also been released. Basically, in addition to the old conspiracy theories in the rap circle, MJ has been After the burn, all the rumors of the same paragraph were changed and settled on me.

And because I was bedridden and staying indoors for a long time, my complexion turned pale, so the rumors of bleaching would naturally not escape.

"APLUS!"

The wheelchair was quickly pushed to the door of the court. He turned his head and waved to the reporters who greeted him, and took the silver cross on his neck and kissed it.

The selection process of jurors is relatively cumbersome. The court will randomly select a list of candidates from the local voter registration manual. There are far more than twelve candidates, because it is necessary to select from them, and remove some stakeholders or people with obvious inclinations. Both parties also have the right to ask a candidate juror to withdraw without reason, but the power is limited to the number of times that each party can use it.

This is very important to the direction of the case. Both the prosecution and the defense hope to leave the jury members who are beneficial to their own side, and the kicking away may sympathize with the other side.

At the same time, they and the judge have to deal with all sorts of clever ghosts who don't dare to understand, but secretly try to avoid the time-consuming, labor-intensive and low-paid jury duty.

In addition to the people from the PGE law firm, Song Ya also sat with Diane Lockhard and Will Gardner, and felt a pain in her heart.

In order to save some lawyer fees, Goodman broke the contract and fired them. He paid a liquidated damages.

Now, in order to settle the Barn case as soon as possible, I have to invite these people back again. The original fee is expensive, and once again...

The emotion he had just raised to Goodman disappeared instantly, and he couldn't help but hate it even more.

Today Diane and Will also introduced that they had hired a micro-expression master who claimed to be able to observe the true views of the defendant, that is, of themselves, by the candidate jury members through human behavior.

Many lawsuits in the United States, especially the defendant who has enough money to burn, don’t mind hiring a role like this. The masters have different routes. In addition to those who are good at observing micro-expressions, some will say they have mastered some exclusive scientific algorithms. Or directly claim to be psychic, in short, it is a metaphysics field.

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

Song Ya could not be there in person in this session, but because the master needed to observe the expressions of the candidate jury members when they looked at him, he could only make this trip.

"APLUS, put this on."

Will Gardner held a red ribbon ornament for HIV charity activities and pinned him on his chest. He and Di An and other members of the lawyers had one on his chest.

Which one is this? "Is it necessary?" Song Ya frowned. He knew that Tony had gotten into this Will again in a coma, and his heart actually hated him more than before. If it wasn't for his cooperation with Tony to stop Goodman objectively, Protect yourself...

But it’s hard to say in reality. If Tony and Susie win custody in the end, these top Chicago lawyers with deep roots will persuade Tony to do better and ‘cleaner’ than Goodman and Hamlin.

"You'll find out later." How could Will know his actual psychology, he happily sold him off.

He and Di An are in a very good mood. As the leading members of the Dream Lawyers Group, they just made a splash outside, especially today Cochrane did not come.

In any case, I woke up, regardless of the argument, now I need to work with them to settle the Barn case as soon as possible.

A group of people sat down in the dock. There were no observers today. The special prosecutor for the Barn case brought former Kukri state prosecutor Chalz to the prosecutor's seat early on, but his attitude has become much blurred. He nodded to say hello.

Soon, the judge in the Barn case, a forty-year-old, very bookish white man appeared and walked to the high bench.

Everyone stood up, "No, APLUS." The judge was also very kind, smiling and preventing himself from trying to stand up with his hands on the armrest of the wheelchair.

"Wait, did you participate?" the judge asked suddenly.

"What?" Song Ya found him looking straight at the red ribbon on his chest.

"Yes, Your Honor, we all participated." Will quickly replied on his behalf.

"well……"

The judge was very happy. It turned out that he also had a red ribbon on his chest, the same paragraph, “We need to wake up the public’s attention to HIV. This is the social responsibility of all citizens...” He didn’t sit down immediately, and a paragraph about HIV came on the spot. Impromptu speeches on prevention and treatment issues.

That's why Song Ya secretly gave Will Gardner a look of approval. The top lawyer who spent a lot of money invited to do so, Lu Ziye.

Will quickly blinked his eyes triumphantly in response. As for how he inquired about this, it is probably the exclusive secret.

The judge finished his speech, "Well, these are just some of my personal opinions... Sit down, sit down." He pressed down with both hands and glanced at the prosecution stand.

"Yes, you are so right, Your Honor."

Song Ya, Will and the others echoed in unison, applauded, and turned their heads to the prosecution bench while sitting down.

The special prosecutor and Childs touched their smooth chests and sat down with sullen faces.

Haha, it's a good start~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After graduating from university, you joined the Speeding Car Party organization, right? "

Soon the formal process began, and the bailiff brought in twelve candidate jury members. This is only the first call, and there will be more later.

Following the questioning session, Will Gardner began to question a white man in his thirties with the information.

"Uh...It's just the Harlem Motorcyclist Club. It's very short." The white man replied, "After I got a job, I didn't have time to participate."

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

"Of course, they are all my friends."

After Will turned around and whispered to the master, "We don't think this man is suitable for jury work." Ask the judge to exclude the other person from the jury.

The special prosecutor also sent Childs to cross-examine and kicked a black aunt.

"I don't want to come yet!" The black aunt scolded and left.

But no matter how hard the prosecutors work, according to the proportion of the population of the South City constituency where the federal court is located, at least half of the 12 jury members will also be black. It is hard to say when I was surrounded by negative news in the second half of last year, because the court will screen in advance. Out of the middle class and well-documented jury members with education and income levels, the bottom blacks have long been filtered.

But now after being shot and unconscious, these black people should have a minimum of sympathy for themselves.

"Sorry, I don't want to contempt the court, I'm just a little tired..."

The entire ‘draft’ process was very lengthy. Song Ya began to perform real acting skills again, slowly closing his eyes and taking a nap, then his head fell heavily, and he immediately apologized to the judge after ‘waking up’.

"It's okay, understand, you can APLUS yourself."

He seems to be a good-speaking judge who is kind to himself.
