Heads Up Hollywood

The United States implements the jury system of the law of the sea system.

Jury selection is the core of the case.

In the United States, it is impossible for an elite like Tang En to be selected for the jury.

If Tang Enru participated in the selection of the jury, I am afraid there will be such a dialogue——

Tang En: "I am Tang En."

Interviewer: "You are Tang En, so you are not qualified."

Tang En: "I am an elite."

Interviewer: "Because you are an elite, you will definitely put more emphasis on the interests of the elite when making decisions, and make unfair punishments."

Tang En: "Who is more qualified than me? Who is qualified?"

Interviewer: "Middle class and lower class."

Tang En: "They will only represent the interests of the bottom class, which is no different from the elite class."

Interviewer: "The interests of the elite are damaged, but they are still elites. The interests of the middle and low-level people are damaged, and families are destroyed."

...

It can also be seen from this that the legal system in the United States pays more attention to the interests of the people at the bottom, and likes to rob the rich and help the poor the most.

As a result, the rich and the elite would rather pay a large amount of fees to go private than go to court. If you win the case, you have to pay sky-high attorney fees; if you lose the case, you may also have to pay sky-high punitive fines.

At the same time, the jury system also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, most of the jury members have limited education and limited structure, and they can only deduce whether the case is guilty or not based on personal life experience.

For example, is it illegal for a listed company to drive up its stock price by falsifying its performance?

The members of the jury do not understand finance, so they will make an analogy - "If your child dares to forge a report card to deceive yourself, this kind of lying must be punished. If your child can't do this, then the listed company can't do it either! So Illegal!"

For another example, the daughter was raped/violated by the neighbor's uncle. When her father found out, he picked up the shotgun angrily, went to the neighbor's house and shot the man to death. Is intentional homicide illegal?

The members of the jury will judge others by themselves - "If their daughters also encountered such an experience, they would definitely do the same thing as the defendant! So, acquitted!"

In this model, there will naturally be many problems that the jury cannot solve.

Once the jury can't solve it, it will be appealed from the district court to the Federal Supreme Court, and the nine most prestigious justices in the United States will make an arbitration and form a case to promote it.

The jury system and the justice arbitration system, walking on two legs together, guarantee the justice of the judiciary.

Michael Jackson certainly belonged to the elite.

However, his case is not complicated, it's just that the public opinion is too big, and it cannot rise to the height of the Federal Supreme Court.

This opens up a lot of possibilities.

Juries are not justices!

Most of them lack legal knowledge, they will instinctively sympathize with the weak, and they are more easily influenced by public opinion.

With a "smoking gun" website leaking the entirety of the confidential court records, media attention to the case has grown.

Jurors are influenced by relatives, friends and colleagues around them, so it is inevitable that they will have some tendentious views in their minds before the trial.

In desperation, the California court could only conduct a second review of the jury, requiring them not to discuss the case with anyone else, not to form an opinion before hearing all the evidence, not to form or express their views on the case to others, and not to comment on the case. Conduct your own investigations, experiments...

Not only that, in order to cope with the overwhelming media bombardment, California prosecutors set up a "Jackson Net" specifically for this case, posting Michael Jackson's criminal charges documents on the Internet, quelling some rumors, and giving the public some proper right to know , lest they make wild guesses.

However, this move is considered to have greatly damaged the spirit of the law and court proceedings...

In short, the case is getting more and more complicated.

confusing.

...

March 29th.

Tang En met Michael Jackson for the first time in his life.

After meeting, the first feeling - white!

Whiter than the average white man!

Just this sickly white complexion gave people a very unhealthy feeling. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses. Even when he saw Tang En, he didn't take it off politely, as if he was trying hard to cover up something.

Eyes are the window to the soul, if you can't even see a person's eyes, it is difficult to see his inner world.

Especially for Tang En, a master at observing words and expressions, Michael Jackson's sunglasses gave him a slight sense of alienation, far from the easy-going and intimacy of Hollywood stars.

However, he was a pop superstar after all, and he did not lose his style in front of Tang En. He shook hands with Tang En with a smile. He looked dashing in a black suit with gold-trimmed dragon prints and a red shirt lining.

The meeting between the two parties was to complete the signing of an agreement on the transfer of 50% of the shares of MIJAC controlled by Michael Jackson.

The transfer price is $120 million.

The signing of the agreement went smoothly.

The trend of the case is very bad, and Michael Jackson's team is more anxious than anyone else.

They have no reason to refuse big backers like Twain and New Universal.

After a brief contact, Twain was able to confirm that Michael Jackson's skin grafting rumors were absurd. Every part of his skin is very natural, which is by no means what skin grafting technology can achieve.

It's just that he wears sunglasses all the time, which makes people uncomfortable.

It seemed that he was really hiding his eyes, for fear of being discovered by Tang En.

Tang En instinctively thought: "Have you ever done anything about boys? Is it true that you gave boys alcohol, drugged them, and even BJ?"

Of course, at Tang En's level, there is no need to go to the bottom to explore the truth.

Now that the contract is signed, from the perspective of New Universal's interests, Michael Jackson must be innocent!

It can only be innocent!

"Michael, don't be too anxious, trust the court, it will give you justice!"

After signing the agreement, the two sides shook hands, and Tang En said with a smile.

Michael Jackson did not have a black accent, but a Jewish white accent, and his tone was a bit lonely: "The prosecutor who accused me is a ruthless person who harbors hatred and is committed to persecution."

Tang En was amused by his wording. The other party really liked to put on the airs of a big star. After a pause, he shook his head and said: "Do what you should do, and justice will not be late."

"I hope so."

Michael Jackson shrugged.

Tang En said: "By the way, on the 15th of next month, Universal Pictures has a movie to be released. I hope you can come to the premiere."

"ah?"

Michael Jackson froze for a moment.

What does it mean?

Equity transfer is just a commercial act. This does not mean that he is a signed artist of New Universal!

He is not obligated to attend New Global Business Events!

Is this kidnapping?

Tang En saw that his face changed slightly, and fearing that he might misunderstand, he quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, this is a movie...you definitely won't want to miss it."

Michael Jackson looked suspicious. After being silent for seven or eight seconds, he hesitated to speak, "At this stage...it is not suitable for me to appear in public. Once the case does not go well...it may affect the future revenue of the movie."

Tang En said lightly: "Others are afraid, but I am not! From my point of view, you are innocent, whether it is half a year later, or right now! If I dare to sign a business agreement with you at this moment, I will do it for you. Take bigger risks."

Michael Jackson trembled at the corner of his mouth, and said with difficulty: "Thank you."

Tang En patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "Next, look at mine!"
