Chapter 347: Key Witnesses
Gao Xi quickly picked up his mobile phone, pressed the answer button and said, "Dong Chen, your kid is really a friend, is there nothing wrong at home?" β
"Don't worry, your family shouldn't know about this, although this matter is spread fiercely on the Internet, but your family doesn't often use the Internet, so they may not know, so they didn't call me to ask." Dong Chen replied.
"No, I know this, I have spoken to my brother on the phone, he knows about it, but he keeps it secret for me and does not tell the family. I'm asking about the situation on the Bozeman side, and I guess the people on the ranch know about it, right? β
"Well, I know, I came to New York on their behalf, and they're worried about you. Especially your cousin, who also wanted to come along, was persuaded by me, I was afraid that she would be more troublesome when she came. Dong Chen replied.
"You're doing a great job. Now that the people are there, I'll drive to pick you up. Gossey asked.
"No, I've already gone to the teacher's law office, and I've read all the cases and discussed them with the teacher. He told me that you are absolutely 100 percent sure of winning your case, but if you want to win the black uncle's lawsuit, it will not be so big, maybe only 60 or 70 percent, are you sure you want to fight this lawsuit? This doesn't really have much to do with you, as long as it proves that you don't know the black uncle, but just met by chance, then it doesn't matter what the black uncle does, does it? Dong Chen said.
"Sixty-seven percent sure is not low, it's really Tony. Dawn. Dong Chen, people are terrible, I am an insignificant small rancher now, but it may not be in the future, even if I am a rancher for the rest of my life, but what about my children? What if they want to go into politics, I can't have any stain on me, so the best and most thorough way now is to prove that the black uncle is not a terrorist. In this way, whether I have a relationship with the black uncle or not, it will not be affected, and this is the most fundamental solution to the problem. What's more, you are so sure, wouldn't it be a pity not to fight this lawsuit? β
"Aha, Dong Chen, I said it, this friend of yours is more courageous than you, the reason why I took this case is that I can fight such an interesting lawsuit, if you don't let me go, I will be angry." The other end of the phone. Tony. Donn's voice rang out.
"Dong Chen, you ask your teacher to answer the phone."
Dong Chen is helpless, he actually thinks that more things are better than less, many Chinese think this way, but this may work in China, but in the United States it just can't, if you think so, then the final loss is bound to be you, and one loss will be greater than the other. As long as you have a point. Then you have to pay attention to the straightness, and you must not endure it.
We Chinese have endured too much in the United States, which is why we have the current status, and we have no strength to resist when we are always discriminated against.
"Hi. Mr. West, is there anything you want to ask me? β
"Mr. Tony, can we not be hippie and smiling when we are talking about serious things, I heard Dong Chen say that you have sixty or seventy percent chance of winning. Is it true? Gossi asked, if Tony. If Don't have a high chance of winning, then he'll have to figure out something for himself.
Tony. Don smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've already investigated this black man, his name is Zou, his grandfather was a slave who was transported from Africa, but then apparently their family made some progress, and by his father's generation, he was already in the middle class of the United States, this Zou is a very good game engineer, he works for a large game company in the United States, the annual salary is not low, and his family has never had any contact with terrorists, let alone him, this is a really law-abiding good citizen. β
"But I don't understand, and the police don't need to frame him, right, if he is such an ordinary person?" Gossi asked, confused.
"There is only one possibility, that is, the police were tricked, and then this Zou carried the black pot for others. Rest assured, the arrest itself is very illegal, although they can be said to be to fight terrorism, but this truth is untenable in court, if the American police turn into another kind of terrorism in order to fight terrorism, it will be more than worth the loss. What's more, the police have no reason to shoot at all, I found a video on the Internet that can prove this, but the version of this value copy, it should be said that the credibility is relatively low, so I need the original version, if there is, the probability of winning this lawsuit can be stable at about 80%. β
Gossi listened to Tony. Done's words seemed to make sense of all this, although he knew that the real court was not so simple, but he didn't understand it, so Tony. Since Don had a way, it was difficult for him to say anything, but he suddenly thought of a word.
"By the way, Mr. Tony, I used to hear a lot of words called 'procedural justice' in TV dramas, can you tell me what procedural justice is? Can we take advantage of this in this case? β
"Well, you're very smart, this is to the point, procedural justice is regarded as 'visible justice', which is actually a legal cultural tradition and concept in our common law countries. This stems from a well-known legal maxim: 'Justice must not only be done, but also done in a way that is visible' (Justicemustnotonlybedone, butmustbeseentobedone.). β
To put it in the most popular language, this maxim means that the case should not only be judged correctly and fairly, and in full accordance with the provisions and spirit of the substantive law, but should also make people feel the fairness and reasonableness of the judgment process. In other words, the judiciary's judgment on a case, even if it is very fair, reasonable and lawful, is still insufficient; In order for the adjudication conclusion to be universally recognized, the adjudicator must ensure that the adjudication process meets the requirements of fairness and justice. Therefore, the so-called 'visible justice' essentially refers to the fairness of the adjudication process (relative to the adjudication result) and the justice of the legal process (relative to the substantive conclusion). β
A lawyer is a lawyer, and this opening is too professional, even if it is a popular statement, it still makes Gao Xi a little confused.
Gao Xi couldn't help but ask: "Can you give me an example, don't I understand it too well?" β
"Well, let's put it this way, isn't a legal process equivalent to a series of 'formalities' as a legal process, steps, and procedures designed to form some kind of legal decision? For example, someone has just purchased a computer and needs to know and familiarize themselves with its operating procedures; For someone to have a wedding, there are various festive 'procedures' to be determined in advance, and for someone to go golf, there are also a series of complex sports 'routines' to follow...... Obviously, having these technical 'procedures' in place ensures that the machine runs more smoothly, that things run more smoothly, and that the race is won at the end of the race. "Tony. Donn explained.
"Can this be used this time?"
"Of course, I can tell you that this time these stupid cops have messed up everything, and their own arrests are illegal, procedural justice, and to put it more bluntly, even if you are really a terrorist, they have to release you if they do this, and if the court pronounces the verdict, they have to release you, because they are illegal in this process. Of course, American law is not so rigid, especially terrorists are a special case, they can be executed in secret, and they do not need to care about the so-called procedural justice, which is surprisingly even agreed by the American people themselves, completely abandoning the so-called procedural justice principles that they have always adhered to. But you're not a terrorist, so there's no such problem, and the reason why I say your case is easy to win is because you've been in the U.S. for a short time, and almost all of your experiences are traceable, and the police can't cheat. But that black man is more troublesome, he has a very wide range of social connections in the United States, and he likes to play online games, and he knows a lot of people, if the police have to get him, it is not impossible to do it, which is what worries me the most. β
"Is it that dark?"
"Of course there is, but that video obviously played a huge role, putting this matter on the bright side, many people don't dare to talk nonsense, and that's the key to my confidence in winning the lawsuit." Tony. Don said with a smile: "Let me tell you, politics is the darkest thing in the world, it can be above the law, whether in your country or in the United States, don't be too naΓ―ve, otherwise you will suffer." β
Gossi thinks Tony. Don is so confident, and he also feels confident again, but he still needs to help where he should help, so he said: "By the way, Mr. Tony, don't you want the original video, I have it here, the first-hand information of the on-site shooting, absolutely original, can withstand any inspection." If I put this out, will I have no problem with the black uncle? β
"Of course, the police have violated the principle of procedural justice, and what they are doing is illegal, so there is no premise for law enforcement, so you and the black man are not breaking the law. Doesn't that sound awkward? But that's just the way it is! I won't tell you more, you will be confused if you talk too much, as long as you have that video, the lawsuit will definitely be won, but if you want the people to believe that Zou is not a terrorist, you have to do something. "Tony. Donn said.
"What's the matter?" Gossey asked.
"The person who reported the case to the police had to be found, and if this person was found, the problem would be solved. It's just that although I have found this person now, he is in a state of shock and has no way to testify in court. β
"What about others?"
"It's in the hospital, protected by the police, and I also made it public because I was worried that this person was in shock by the police." (To be continued......)
