Chapter 271 Trial

(Thanks to the book friend latte three-in-one tip encouragement)

When Liu Yunxuan submitted the application to the judge, he also received a notice from the court.

Yamazaki sued him.

After this period of treatment, Yamazaki finally recovered.

In fact, they originally planned to wait a little longer, but when they saw that Liu Yunxuan was going to sue these media in the news, they felt that they could take this opportunity to have a great chance of winning.

"Okay, Xuanzi, you are a plaintiff and a defendant, not bad." The fat man looked at Liu Yunxuan and said teasingly.

Liu Yunxuan also felt very interesting, "Fergus, these two cases are going on at the same time, does it affect us?" ”

Fergus also rushed over after receiving the news.

"Andy, don't worry, no problem. In the face of conclusive evidence, it is estimated that they can only play the sympathy card, but these are useless here. Fergus said with a smile.

Charlie took Ning Yulong and them to be busy with the prosecution, after all, they involved a bit more defendants.

In the United States, it sometimes takes weeks or even months or years of pretrial preparation before a case can be clarified in a trial-friendly format.

Especially when Liu Yunxuan sued so many media, the judge looked at it with a headache.

This pretrial preparation is one of the most important steps in civil litigation in the United States, and it is now set up as an important way to conclude a case without trial.

Someone once calculated that in the United States, only less than 3% of cases will go to trial, and the rest are settled out of court under the mediation of judges.

In fact, the purpose of establishing a pretrial procedure on the US side is simple: to eliminate irrelevant matters and determine whether there are issues that are suitable for trial.

As we often see on TV, all the evidence must be prepared in advance. Report to the judge. If you present witness evidence on an ad hoc basis, it will be up to the judge and jury to decide whether it is legal evidence and whether it is admissible.

And the two cases involved by Liu Yunxuan are also not possible to be reconciled.

If those media don't give Liu Yunxuan a detailed explanation, he won't give up. It's not anticlimactic. There was no talk with Yamazaki.

However, Yamazaki's case is simpler, with surveillance footage, and the whole process of the incident is very clear.

The only controversy that exists is whether Liu Yunxuan and Hou Xingyu used improper force, and of course Yamazaki and they believe that these two people are completely thug-style attacks.

The media of the defendants are not idle, and they are also paying attention to Liu Yunxuan's news at any time. This time their coke went bad. After all, Liu Yunxuan was also prosecuted as a violent element.

"It is perfectly normal for us to question such a man who could threaten civilians with violence at any moment," they wrote in the newspaper. ”

The only thing that made Liu Yunxuan more depressed was that the court session this time turned out to be January 21. The next day happened to be the Chinese New Year.

And because of the time difference, everyone decided to have New Year's dinner tonight, and the whole Spring Festival will be spent for two days.

When he came to the gate of the court, Liu Yunxuan got out of the car and waved to the onlookers with a calm expression.

It's just that these young people followed, and Liu's father and Liu's mother and Uncle Zhao all stayed at home to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Originally, Fergus was built with a heavier expression, which was a plus in the eyes of the people.

However, he was vetoed by Liu Yunxuan, and he would not show his remorse for beating Xiao Ni'er in order to win sympathy.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yunxuan didn't use Bo Sympathy's trick. Yamazaki used it.

When Liu Yunxuan saw Yamazaki in the courtroom, he almost didn't laugh out loud. Yamazaki is in a wheelchair with a potion bottle hanging from the side of the wheelchair. The upper body has been wrapped in gauze. Wearing a coat, he is looking at himself with a grim look in his eyes.

In addition to the woman he had seen at the beginning, there were several other people around him, and their eyes were very unfriendly.

They didn't hire American lawyers, they used Japanese lawyers.

"Andy don't be nervous, a moment if the opposing lawyer asks. Just follow the answers we've prepared. If you have an unexpected question, it's best to think about it before answering. ”

Before the trial, Fergus kept admonishing.

After all, Liu Yunxuan was in court for the first time. He was afraid that the other party's lawyer would play word games on Liu Yunxuan, so that he would accidentally fall into the trap of the other party.

Although Liu Yunxuan is a rookie in the court. However, when the opposing lawyer asked, he was also very cautious.

Fergus also protested from time to time against the other party's trap questioning, which included the cross-examination of the parties and witnesses in turn.

Liu Yunxuan was very interesting to watch, especially when Yamazaki testified, he really cried bitterly......

I've only seen it on TV before, but my personal experience is very different and funny. However, his expression was always stern, and he didn't want the judge to sentence him in contempt of court again.

Liu Yunxuan also prepared a lot of witnesses here, Mayor Jer, Sheriff Martin, and several other ranchers who had contact with Liu Yunxuan.

When the owner of the Laika store recounted what happened, he repeatedly mentioned that Yamazaki was the first to provoke unreasonably.

After more than three hours of cross-examination, it was finally time for the final presentation stage. This time, Liu Yunxuan did not let Fergus do it, but decided to tell it himself.

"Honorable Judges, and members of the jury, I ask myself to make my final statement." Liu Yunxuan pleaded with the judge.

The judge nodded, and that was allowed.

"Everyone goes through many, many things in their lives. And some of these things are untouchable. ”

"With me, one is my family, the other is my people. When anyone wants to insult or hurt my family or my nation, I will fight back. ”

"Some of you also know that last time my family was kidnapped by terrorists, I was able to save it at the risk of my own life."

"Of course, I'm not saying this to win favor. And this time, when someone insulted my nation as the 'sick man of East Asia', my companions and I still fought back. ”

"I don't want to comment on what kind of people they are and how many hateful things they did back then. I don't regret my actions. If I were to be born again, I would still choose to do so. ”

When Liu Yunxuan said this, Fergus was secretly anxious underneath, and regretted letting Liu Yunxuan make the final summary. Even if you think so, don't say that, it's easy for the jury to mislead you.

Some of the Chinese who came to watch the courtroom were very excited when they heard it.

Liu Yunxuan continued to speak.

"The United States is a country that advocates freedom, ethnicity, and human rights. If all of you were in a situation where someone insulted your people, what would you choose? ”

"Do you just accept it silently?"

"Some people may feel that I have the option to protest and should not resort to force. But I can tell you that when someone insults the nation, that kind of anger is not something you can control. ”

"Finally, here, I ask the judge and the jury to be able to reach a fair verdict."

Next is the time for adjournment, waiting for the jury's verdict on whether Liu Yunxuan is guilty or not.

"Hey, my mouth is dry, I'm still a little hungry, and the water here is not delicious." Liu Yunxuan said with a bitter face.

The fat man and the others were speechless, boss, what you should care about now is whether the case is good or not.

"Fergus, I'm sorry, I just said that I brought love with me, and I didn't follow the words you prepared." Liu Yunxuan looked at Fergus and said apologetically.

Originally, according to Fergus's assumptions and prepared rhetoric, it was all right, but I didn't expect that the more I said it just now, the more angry I became, and I said so much.

"Andy, it's okay, maybe we have an unexpected gain." Fergus said with a smile.

"I just saw that those jurors didn't have much facial expressions, but they seemed to agree with your final statement."

"I don't care, at most if I lose the lawsuit, I will pay some medical expenses, but it will affect your work performance." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.

They walked in the direction of the lounge as they spoke, and many people who came to cheer Liu Yunxuan also greeted him one after another, wishing him victory. (To be continued)
