The next witness to appear in court was Ivanka, dressed in a black ruffled dress, which brought out the whiteness of her skin, and her blue eyes were shining. She knew what the occasion was, and deliberately did not look into the dock, standing alone like a black rose in the position of a witness.

After the routine oath, the situation of the day was narrated, and the facts were basically stated.

"What is your relationship with the defendant?" Prosecutor Jonathan is attacking again.

"Classmates, friends."

"How do you interpret this photo from Sports Illustrated?" Jonathan presented the photo again, and went around the scene to show "Would the average student take his arm and do such an intimate gesture?" ”

The photo happened to be during the U.S. Open, when the two of them went to an event, and a sports reporter saw that the two were talented and beautiful. Behind it is the advertising backboard, this is just a show, who can take it seriously, but this prosecutor turned it out.

Legally speaking, the testimony of relatives and lovers who have a special relationship with the parties is generally not admissible, and will have to be taken into account unless other proof cannot be obtained, but it will also be discounted.

So Jonathan is making a fuss about this, are the two of them lovers? You don't count, but there is evidence that the behavior is intimate, at least beyond the relationship of ordinary classmates, and in fact it is just more ambiguous.

"Did you kiss the defendant at the time of the incident, please answer yes or no." Jonathan pressed as he stepped forward.

“…… Be! Ivan looked at Chen Bo, biting her lower lip and nodded.

"Your Excellency, I believe that Witness No. 2 is too close to the defendant and should recuse himself from this case." Jonathan, who seized on this, immediately appealed in court.

"I'm against it!" When Obama stood up, the gavel had already fallen, "It is recommended to be adopted, and witness No. 2 please recuse himself." ”

When the two policewomen came over and took Ivanka away, her eyes were full of grief and helplessness as she looked at Chen Bo, so she could only retreat silently.

Things got worse and worse, and through Jonathan's eyes, there was even a glimmer of joy that was about to win.

The next person to testify was Julio, although his testimony was also trying to get closer to the truth, but Jonathan magically took out a photo in the background of the Philadelphia Hotel where Chen Bo was staying. The investigation of other alumni was turned out, proving that the relationship between the two people was not simple, and the judge dropped the hammer again.

Chen Bo's testimony was all overturned, except for his confession, the witnesses who appeared one after another were all statements arranged by the prosecution, and Ren Obamado tried hard to find loopholes, but he was powerless to return to the sky, because the confessions were unified except for the two inadmissible testimonies.

There is only one conclusion, that is, the defendant is lying, and unless new evidence emerges, he will be severely punished.

At the critical moment, Chen Bo could only sacrifice a rogue trick, holding his stomach and screaming "Oops, oops", you can't let me be pulled in court on the spot if my stomach is uncomfortable. The judge looked at the time, and the trial had been nearly 4 hours, and although it was about to reach the final closing arguments, it was also humane to announce a temporary adjournment for half an hour, which was also reasonable.

"Don't struggle, let's just accept your fate, this is the United States." Jonathan smiled contemptuously and wiped his glasses in his hands, as if he had a chance of victory.

"Me! Never believed in fate! Chen Bo replied coldly, and then went to the lounge next door with the support of Obama and his assistant, this scene still has to be done.

"Barack, are you in touch? If I don't come back, I'll be here today. Chen Bo leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling motionless.

"Not yet, it's busy." "We can choose to appeal or apply for an adjournment to buy time. ”

"No, if the first trial is not a favorable verdict, even if I win in the end, I will lose." Chen Bo sighed, "They obviously want to fight quickly, and they won't give me this respite, and being expelled from Penn will be a stain that I can't wash away for the rest of my life!" ”

"I'll step up the contact." Obama nodded, if his employer was overturned like this, it would be extremely bad for his career as a lawyer, not only affecting his reputation in the legal profession, but also ruining his path to politics.

Time passed little by little, but there was still no news, which inevitably made him a little impatient, until the bailiff came to urge, and he paced back to the courtroom slowly.

"I now invite the prosecution to make closing arguments."

"We believe that the defendant has inflicted serious bodily harm on the victim and is guilty of wounding with intent in violation of federal law. He was also suspected of racial discrimination, so he asked the judge to sentence him to 3 years in prison. ”

Hey? The sentence has been cut in half, which is not Jonathan's aggressive style just now, and usually the prosecution's advice will not be taken in its entirety, but will be discounted. If he had followed his arguments, then the verdict would have been a suspended sentence plus two years' imprisonment based on the current evidence.

"In addition, the person shall be permanently deported immediately after the end of his imprisonment! This is our written appeal and I ask the judge to accept it. Jonathan then handed over a document dozens of pages thick to the court recorder.

MD, I'm afraid the latter is his ultimate intention, even if he is really sentenced to prison, it is not terrible, if you have money, you can come out, just stay at home, this is a precedent. But permanent deportation means that he will no longer be able to set foot in the United States, and even his visas to Canada and the United Kingdom will be affected.

Chen Bo gave this vicious Jonathan countless middle fingers in his heart, eager to greet the women of all the clans in his family.

"I now invite the defendant to make his final arguments." Augusto's voice rang out again.

Resigned to fate? Can you just let these bastards dance merrily on their heads? No! I'm not convinced! I'm absolutely not convinced!!

"Your Excellency Judge, the jury, the prosecution and the observers." Chen Bo straightened up and made a final struggle, although it may have been useless. "Although I am now expelled from the University of Penn, I still remember the motto that Mr. Franklin said that the law is not established without virtue! If a law with no moral basis is legislated, it will only be a bad law, and if we think differently, what will be the situation for a person without morality to influence the law? ”

"Don't talk about him left and right, your argument has nothing to do with this case." Augusto struck the gavel twice, are you alluding to me as a judge?

"At Penn, there is also a motto engraved on the floor tiles, and half of the truth is often a big lie! Now all the testimony is pointing to me as the murderer, and since that is the case, then I have nothing to defend against, I just want to ask the prosecution if he dares to stare into my eyes and say that you are not lying? Chen Bo ignored the judge's reminder and continued, not only that, but also raised his voice and shouted to the three parties in Ersong, who appeared in court: "Dare, or don't dare!!" ”

"If you detest the court again, I'll add one more charge to you!" Augusto knocked on the hammer and said unhappily, "The closing arguments of both sides are complete, and the next ......"

"Your Excellency!" Obama suddenly raised his hand at this time and said, "I have new evidence on the scene, please allow me to present it." ”

"I'm against it!" Jonathan's face immediately changed color, and he immediately jumped out and said, "Now that the closing argument has been made, it is time to enter the collegiate deliberation and judgment immediately." ”

"Federal law doesn't have that!" Obama immediately retorted.

"It's normal!"

"You represent the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, and what you need to uphold is judicial fairness and the inviolability of citizens' rights." Obama doesn't scare him, they are all engaged in law, and who have they obeyed in strong arguments, "Jonathan, are you weak-hearted?" Know that the evidence I am about to present will prove that you are a moth who disrupts justice! ”

"Barack, you're slandering, I'm going to sue you."

"I don't mind, you're a clown in front of the truth!"

"Enough!!" Augusto roared, the gavel was about to be smashed, but the two of them were still arguing, what was the majesty of him, the judge? "You're contempting court!!

The two of them closed their mouths and remained silent, this kind of thing is rare for high-quality people, but today is really a special case.

Augusto and the judges and assistant judges on either side of the bench discussed in a whisper, and then gave a final answer: "The defendant presents the evidence. ”

The side door of the courtroom opened, and a dark and familiar face appeared, Chen Bo gave him a grateful look, and he smiled back before stepping forward and handing over the evidence: a small USB flash drive.

"Your Excellency, this is the video data we obtained, which clearly records what happened at the scene of the crime, because the master disk and the copy were artificially erased, which was temporarily restored, so the pixel quality is relatively poor." Obama held the USB flash drive, as if holding a holy relic, and said loudly.

The appearance of new evidence immediately attracted everyone's attention, will it be the final reversal?

"Sundar, please play it out, let's see the disgusting faces of those people."

Sundar Pichai graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, a strong science and engineering school, and received a bachelor's degree from Stanford in two years after coming to the United States, and a master's degree in business administration from the Wharton School of Business. The technical problems that caused Chen Bo a headache were not difficult for him, and yesterday the low-key alumnus flew back from Miami, Florida to help him decrypt the hard drive, and finally made a breakthrough at the last moment.

There is a projector in the courtroom, and after connecting to the computer, all the pictures of the day are clearly reflected in front of everyone, from Ivanka's kiss, to Pierre's vicious discrimination and Chen Bo's handsome and chic movements, and finally the arrival of the federal police is all recorded, although the picture is a little trembling by the crowd, and there are people blocking the view, but it does not affect the judgment of the case at all.

The case became no longer complicated, and after a simple court discussion, the 12 jury members unanimously passed the first-instance verdict acquitting Chen Bo, and it seems that there is no need for a second-instance trial.

But is it all over? Perjury, miscarriage of justice, and racial discrimination are not too good. It is foreseeable that a bloody storm is about to sweep in.
