Chapter 353: Winning the Case and the Funeral

"By the way, the defendant's lawyer just mentioned that my witness Zawood could not prove that he was a police informant, nor could he prove that Zou was a police informant. True, this is a fact, of course, they could not prove. Normally, however, in order to ensure that these informants are treated fairly, the police will have a confidential document to prove their identity, which is only known to a very small number of people. If my witnesses are telling the truth, then these two documents should exist, so I ask the judge to apply for an inspection of the relevant information, and I do not have this authority. ”

In fact, at this point, the case has long been very clear and clear, of course, these two pieces of information are also very important, Tony. The reason why Don thinks that they must exist is not speculation, but that something similar has happened before, and he knows it, but he doesn't have the right to check it, after all, he has to protect the safety of the informant.

But at this point, one of the informants is dead, and the other is slandered as a terrorist, and these two documents are definitely about to be released.

Tony. Tang En has always thought that he is not very good at eloquence, but he has been able to win many times, mainly because the following efforts have been done enough, and if the evidence is sufficient, even if the other party has a lotus tongue, it is meaningless.

After all, the law is the law, everything depends on the evidence, and the mouth will be more useful without evidence.

After speaking, Tony. Don went back to the plaintiff's bench and sat down, and the next thing was to wait, and in a case like this, he believed that no one would mess around.

When the plaintiff presents all the evidence, and the defendant presents all the evidence. When both parties present all their statements, evidence to the judge or the judge and jury, the plaintiff's lawyer and then the defendant's lawyer make a summary statement about the case. In the case of a case involving a jury, the judge will instruct the jury on how to apply the law. This includes who bears the burden of producing evidence and how it will be weighed.

Now that the trial has come to an end, and both sides have presented all the evidence, it is time for the judge and the jury to do so.

Juries sometimes take weeks to decide on their verdicts. Judges sometimes act as both discoverers of facts and law, sometimes making judgments or making decisions immediately from the bench. In the case of a criminal case, the verdict must be unanimous and uncontested. This will only be after a lengthy adjournment before the Trial Chamber will announce the verdict and hold a sentencing hearing.

However, this case is not a criminal case, so the trial result should be out earlier.

After the female judge and other lawyers on both sides made closing statements, she knocked on the gavel and said: "In view of the fact that there is one last important evidence to be consulted, the trial will be adjourned for the time being, and the verdict will be pronounced later." Let's come in with the lawyers on both sides. ”

Tony. Don smiled and said to Gaucy, "Things have come to this point. In fact, you don't need to think about it to know the final trial result, the next thing you need to consider is the issue of compensation, and what kind of compensation you need can be raised. ”

"It's up to you to do this, I'm sure you can handle it. Anyway, I'm a layman, and it's not easy for you to say too much, and it's a loss to say too little. "Gao Xi is also relaxed now, as long as there are no big accidents, this case is very clear, about the issue of compensation. Naturally, it's going to make Tony. Don En has to worry about it, otherwise this guy will suffer a lot if he earns so much lawyer fees.

"Well, thank you for your trust, this is my business card. You take it well, and you can come to me for anything in the future. "Tony. Don still has the leisure to sell business at this time.

"Come on, it's enough to come in this place once, I don't want to come again. Neither the defendant nor the plaintiff wanted to come again. "Although today this case Tony. Don did a great job, but Gaucy also played a crucial role in it. If it weren't for him, Tony. Don couldn't have won so easily.

So Gao Xi is a little tired, he wasted a day for this, and he is still frightened, four or five hours have passed since the court opened, and with this time, he can go to Little Europe for a drink, go to the road for a while, go to the shopping mall on Fifth Avenue, and even sit at home and play two games.

"You have an old saying in China called 'the sky has unpredictable circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune', although you don't want to come again, but the future is not sure, you still have a business card, even if you don't come to the court, in case there are any legal issues that need to be consulted, you can also give me some words, we will be friends in the future, right?"

Tony. Tang En rarely takes the initiative to contact a person so actively, the reason why he wants to make friends with Gao Xi is naturally for a reason, in the process of this case, Gao Xi did two things, he didn't know how Gao Xi did it, and the other party didn't explicitly say that he did it, but he just knew.

He knows very well that Gao Xi's person is not as simple as it seems, so this person must have a good stutter, even if he doesn't stutter, it's always no problem to make friends.

"Well, it's an honor to be friends with you." Gossi took over Tony. Donn's business card, he recognized Tony. Tang En's ability, if there is really any legal problem in the future, he can indeed come to this person.

After all, Dong Chen is too busy now, just the resort and supermarket are enough to give Dong Chen a headache, and he can't help with many things in the ranch at all. With this Tony. Don, that's at least one more way to consult.

Not to mention Tony. Tang En is really more familiar with American law than Dong Chen, and he is also more familiar with the American system.

Tony. Don smiled at Gaucy, then walked out of the courtroom, following the judge, the defense lawyer, and the jury.

By the time the trial reopened, it was already two hours later. Don was right, and after looking at the final evidence, the jury unanimously ruled that the plaintiff won the case and the defendant was guilty of false accusation, perjury, and other crimes.

The judge pronounced the verdict in court, and in accordance with Tony. Don's request has been adjusted more reasonably.

Tony. Don is naturally a lion who opens his mouth, after all, this is what the plaintiff's lawyer should do, to obtain as many benefits as possible for his client.

"The verdict takes effect immediately, leave the court!"

When the judge's gavel fell, the whole six or seven hours of trial was finally over.

At the same time, there was a joyous celebration outside, and many people in front of the TV felt very relieved.

The trial was broadcast live on TV and online from beginning to end, and many people saw it from beginning to end, from nervousness to joy as Gausai.

Of course, the matter will not end like this, because this trial involves a criminal case, so there will be another trial, but it has nothing to do with Gao Xi, it is a public prosecution case of a local lawyer, and he has now obtained the innocence he wants.

But what he didn't expect was that Zou was not only innocent, but also a hero, a hero of the New York people, who silently helped the police eliminate terrorists, but in the end he ended up with a wife and lost his life, which is tragic enough.

Gosse could do nothing but arrange a funeral for him, and after the trial that day, although it was getting darker and even drizzling, many people in New York City, especially in Brooklyn, went to the scene to mourn.

The only regret may be that he didn't see Mr. Zou's wife and children, and Gao Xi can't do anything about this.

In the evening, I wanted to celebrate well, but because of the matter of Zou, everyone was in no mood, so they just got together to eat and drink, and a small gathering was over.

According to him, the reason why the business was able to be negotiated perfectly was actually due to the credit of this trial, because the business party was also Chinese, and he had been discriminated against and treated badly before, and they actually watched the trial of this case with Lu Chengfeng at the negotiation site, in fact, the process of negotiating business ended in less than half an hour.

Sometimes that's the way it is, and reality is really even more incredible than fiction.

This is the resort where Gao Xi stayed, and he came back after the funeral. Donn, Tom Sr., Ursette, and Lu Chengfeng who returned home.

The wine and food on the table were ordered from the hotel, and Gao Xi didn't cook it himself, because he wasn't in the mood, the case was won, but the dead couldn't come back to life, even if he had the spring of life, he couldn't save the dead.

"Okay, Brother Xi, don't think about it so much, you can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to this Zou. People's wives and children have gone away, but you are fighting this lawsuit for him, and you have also held a funeral for him, there are not many people who can do this in this world now, relax, he will be grateful to you in heaven. Lu Chengfeng saw that Gao Xi's interest had not been high, so he persuaded. while

Gao Xi nodded and smiled: "That's right, but I'm not just fighting this lawsuit for Mr. Zou, but the main purpose is to clear our name and be completely innocent." Come, cheers, I have to thank Mr. Tony, Tom Sr., Usset, and of course, Dong Chen, Lu Chengfeng, I am lucky to have you here. ”

He thought about it, he was in a bad mood now, and the rest of the people couldn't drink anymore, so he still had to be good, and he couldn't spoil everyone's interest.

"Cheers!"

Everyone's wine glasses touched each other, and then gradually the mood improved, and after drinking for a while, old Tom said with a smile: "That brother Gaoxi, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree." (To be continued......)
