"I don't accept it!" But this time it wasn't Jason who made a statement. Butler, but Bell Stone, Bell Stone stood up directly and coldly addressed Kenneth. "What I need is innocence, not the same as the light." With that, he walked towards the courthouse, and the scheduled time was almost up.

Let's be honest, Jason. Butler was indeed impressed, and according to his experience as a prosecutor, this condition was indeed quite generous. But since his client has already said so, he naturally can't say anything more. After this period of contact, he is now Zhongshi is a person who does not say anything, and he can only look at Kenneth with a bitter face. Dade shrugged his shoulders, then briskly caught up with Bell Stone.

Seeing that the persuasion was not complete, Kenneth. Dade was not discouraged, because according to past experience, he knew that this kind of opportunity would be repeated in the trial, and he should not look at the toughness of the defendant now, and when the real situation is unfavorable, I am afraid that they will accept any conditions. Just thinking so, Kenneth. Dade also left the waiting hall quickly.

……

"Number 147952, nature of the case, criminal, defendant, do you plead guilty?"

The judge who presided over the court today was an old and obese black man, with a bald head shiny with oil, and after a pair of bull's eyes casually looked at the bell stone in the defendant's dock, he lifted his reading glasses and programmed to read out what needed to be asked.

Passing through the court and the trial are two different things, and there is a procedural process here, so the work of the judge on duty is very simple, he only needs to ask the parties whether they are guilty or not, and the rest is to schedule the trial.

The judge sat high on it, flanked by the dock, and on either side of the dock stood two bailiffs with loaded guns, behind Zhong Shi sitting in the dock. Their eyes were fixed on Zhong Shi, for fear that he would do something out of the way.

On the opposite side of the courtroom seats, there were four rows of rudimentary benches, reserved for observers, but now that they were in the hall, no one had come to observe. Slightly in front of the auditorium, near the judge's seat. There are two more desks than in the auditorium, which are the offices of the prosecution and defence lawyers.

When I entered the courtroom, there was already a prosecutor-like person sitting in the prosecution's lawyer's box. The Edmundo prosecutor that Dade said was just that he kept his head down and looked at the case file, and Zhong Shi didn't know what he looked like.

Soon, Kenneth. Dade also walked in, and after glancing at Bell Stone in the dock, he lowered his head and whispered something in Edmundo's ear. And in the process, Edmundo never raised his head.

"I don't plead guilty, I'm innocent!" Zhong Shi looked at the large black judge suspiciously, and wondered whether such a person was capable of upholding the justice of the law, but just after he finished speaking, Jason who was sitting in the defense lawyer's dock. Butler immediately stood up and said aloud, "Your Excellency, this is a lawsuit brought by Sec. I would like to release my client on bail before the formal trial. ”

A morning of time. Having dealt with forty or fifty similar issues, the black judge was a little tired, but after hearing that Jason . After Butler's words, his fat body was suddenly shocked, and then he carefully flipped through the materials handed over by the prosecution, and it was obvious that he did not know much about the content of the whole case before.

"I'm against it!" That's when it happened. Prosecutor Edmundo, who never looked up, said in a loud voice, then he stood up, bowed to the black judge, pointed to the bell stone in the dock and said, "Your Excellency." The gentleman was charged with insider trading, suspected of being convicted, and was first detained in accordance with the law. Because the amount of money involved in this case is huge, and the passport held by this gentleman is not a national passport, in order to prevent him from absconding in fear of crime, I recommend that His Excellency Judge Yì not approve the other party's request for bail. ”

Edmundo is a middle-aged man with a very distinctive appearance, high cheekbones, hooked nose, and pointed chin, these facial features are very eye-catching, and the first impression given to Zhong Shi is that this person's personality is described as cunning in a good way, and sinister in a bad way.

"Your Excellency, I insist on bailing my client!" Jason. Butler naturally did not show weakness, and immediately retorted, "My client used to study in the United States, and so far has a good credit record and no criminal record. And my client is an important person, and he will definitely not abscond because of these things, because it would greatly damage his reputation. In order to protect his reputation, he even did not hesitate to confront the court with Se C, so I don't think the prosecutor's reason is tenable at all. Your Excellency, I insist on bail for my client. ”

……

Because it is a criminal case and it involves color C, there is always a suspicion of guilt, and Zhong Shi chose not to admit guilt, so if he is not released on bail, he will be detained immediately. So when Zhong Shi said "not guilty", the lawyers on both sides began the war, and the battlefield was whether they could be eligible for bail.

Closing the case file, it took the black judge five minutes to read it, and the lawyers on both sides were already arguing in the process of reading the case file. He slapped his head irritably, and after thinking about it again and again, he felt that what the prosecution lawyer said made sense, so he immediately raised the gavel, knocked it down suddenly, and said: "Based on the huge amount of money involved in this case, and the other party is a foreigner, this court announces that it will not be released on bail and is waiting for the scheduled trial." ”

After hearing what he said, Zhong Shi's eyelids in the dock suddenly jumped wildly. He was about to be detained, and it was definitely not what he had expected.

It's just that his worries didn't last long before he saw Jason. Unhurriedly, Butler took out a copy of the document from his briefcase and read it aloud in the court: "Your Excellency, I have listed all the cases of insider trading involving a foreign nationality and a large amount of money. Without exception, the accused party was successfully released on bail, and none of them absconded. In '97, in the Indiana federal court, Judge Michelle allowed defendant Cauchy. Andrei bailed. In the U.S. Court of New Jersey in O2......"

Hear Jason. As Butler read the cases slowly, the black judge's head suddenly became bigger, because according to the law of the United States, if there is a precedent to follow, the ruling or judgment must be made according to the precedent, otherwise there will be no uniformity in judicial interpretation. However, he didn't intend to lightly overturn what he had said before, and then a pair of big eyes rolled for a long time before he said: "Since there is a precedent to follow, then judge according to the precedent." The defendant is allowed bail, but the bail needs to be raised, 1ooo dollars! ”

In his opinion, this number is already very high. If the other party can't take it out, then he can only be obediently taken into custody. And according to common sense, even those who engage in insider trading have their bank accounts frozen accordingly at this time, so generally speaking, this number cannot be obtained.

In this way, he was able to grant bail and potentially send the defendant to prison, killing two birds with one stone.

It was only the next moment that shocked him was born, and the defense lawyer and the defendant were visibly relieved that there was no protest against the exorbitant bail he had expected, and it was clear that the $1ooo was not in their sights. The judge didn't feel a little regretful in his heart, but since he had already spoken, he naturally wouldn't increase the amount of bail, so he could only shake his head unhappily and said: "We will inform the lawyers of both sides in advance of the selection of the jury." The case is scheduled for ......"

Speaking of this, he had to hold his reading glasses again, carefully look up the memo, and then said: "March 11 next year." I'm sorry, guys, but the backlog has been too busy lately! (To be continued!)
