Chapter 427: Misfortune
The man who spoke was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, with a slightly bald forehead, his hair combed back, a suit and leather shoes like Anderson, and two piercing eyes. He and the group entered through the doorway, Frederick followed, and there was no need to say who he was.
"Adam? Kassel? The prosecutor raised an eyebrow and said in an arrogant tone.
"That's right, Thomas? Anderson, you're still so fond of playing this dirty little trick. "Now, if you don't want to go to the police commission, either show the arrest warrant or open the handcuffs of my client." β
The prosecutor exchanged glances with the head of the Drug Enforcement Division, and although a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, the agent next to him opened Sean's handcuffs.
"Now, gentlemen, please wait a moment, I need to speak with my client alone." Cassel then continued.
"Can you tell me what's going on, Mr. Cassel?" After coming to the study, Sean, who moved his wrist, asked quietly.
"Thomas? In this way, Mr. Anderson wants to tell the media, you, Hollywood's big star Sean? Don, you're arrested by them, and you're the criminal. "He's a tough guy and likes to play all sorts of tricks. β
"He's such a nice guy." Sean said self-deprecatingly, his face a little gloomy.
"You shouldn't have spoken before we came, Mr. Tang, and you shouldn't have met with the police alone and left here." The lawyer straightened his collar and continued
"They say there will be more and more media out there." Sean explained.
"Wherever you are, there will be more and more media, Mr. Tang," Cassel sat down, "and the police and the prosecution will do everything they can to equate you with the criminals, and believe me, they have a hundred ways." β
"You're saying that in our country, the police will do whatever it takes to prove the guilt of the suspect." Sean raised an eyebrow, "Even if I'm innocent." β
"For the most part...... Yes, as long as you are likely to sin, they will do everything they can to prove it, even if you are innocent. "If you meet with them alone, they will take turns interrogating you, first solidifying your testimony, then looking for flaws in it, and then accusing you." To make it look like you're lying, they'll confront you with important evidence, anything that might confuse your memory, and if they don't get anything from you, they'll make a deal with you to force you to confess. β
Sean raised his hands, but didn't say anything, and Cassel shrugged: "This is normal, Mr. Tang, even the FBI has indicators to solve the case, of course, they are relatively simple, as long as they check whether someone has evaded taxes." Thomas? Anderson is a cunning guy and his conviction rate is always 8. Hovering between 9 and 9, he wants to cement his position. And he hates rich people and celebrities, and if he takes advantage of it, you will be very passive. β
Sean took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "Thank you, Mr. Cassel, for coming over in time." β
"It's an honor to serve you, Mr. Tang, please don't worry, since you have chosen us, we will not let your interests be lost." Kassel smiled and said, "As I always say, as long as you find the right lawyer, we have the best judicial system in the world." β
"So what do we do next?" Sean asked, nodding.
"I need to know what you did last night, in sufficient detail, my people are out there, and they will ask your friends some important questions, and then confirm each other, but the most important thing is not to lie." Cassel said seriously.
"Okay," Sean thought for a few minutes, "I was out alone all night last night......"
He is still the same as he said to Frederick before, although through previous conversations, he believes that the barrister is on his side, but there are things that must not be confided, this is his bottom line.
"That's it?" Cassel asked after listening quietly, his expression calm, neither believing nor disbelieving.
"Yes," Sean didn't care, "I don't take drugs, and I rarely smoke marijuana, I haven't touched it in the past few months, I can do a urine test, right away." Also, I don't drive fast, that Ford is my first car, I drove this car to Hollywood, so I haven't lost it, only occasionally when I want to go out and around alone and think about something. β
"I can tell you what makes you want to go out and walk alone?" Cassel asked after thinking for a few minutes.
"This is important?" Sean asked rhetorically.
"It's very important," the other person nodded, "the prosecution will do everything in their power to dig up your information, and once they have something they know and we don't, the form will be powerful to them." β
Sean hesitated, but still said: "Because ...... I'm married. β
"Married?" Cassel finally looked surprised.
"Yes, but it was a misunderstanding, we went on vacation to Las Vegas, got drunk, and then went to the marriage registry with a friend, girlfriend. After that, the judge refused to annul the marriage, and I had a conflict with her, and I didn't want to make it public, so I had to put the matter on hold for the time being. It was more than a month ago, and there were other annoying things that happened along the way, so this operation took place. "Sean told the story of Las Vegas.
Of course, he still had reservations, and did not say Zoe's name, let alone mention the names of Jordana and Emily, these things should have nothing to do with the current case.
"You didn't go to her last night?" Cassel then asked.
"Nope." Sean shook his head.
"So, no one saw you in the park last night, right?" Cassel asked again.
ββ¦β¦ That's how it should be. Sean nodded.
"Well, it's a little tricky, but it's not all out of the blue," Cassel tapped on the table, "If you're not lying, then at least the urine test is good for us, and if you call the police in the morning and go to the precinct in person to report the crime, that's going to be crucialβI have to say, you have a good agent, Mr. Tang." β
"Thank you." Sean replied quietly.
"So, let's go to the police station now, and the next time will be the test," Cassel stood up, "I hope you can be mentally prepared." β
βββ
"That's where the police took Sean around 9 o'clock this morning? Tang, the reason is suspected of drug driving and hitting someone to kill and escape. The 24-year-old Sean is a well-known Hollywood actor with works such as "Cold Mountain" and "The Aviator", and has been nominated for two Oscars......"
β¦β¦
CNN reported live for you that three hours have passed since Sean was brought into the Los Angeles Police Department, and so far there is no concrete news. It is rumored that he fled after hitting a drunk man in the Huntington Park area in the early hours of this morning, who died after being taken to the hospital......"
β¦β¦
"According to credible sources, police collected at least an ounce of cocaine in Sean's back seat, and the car was full of Sean's fingerprints. After paying bail and leaving the police station, Sean stayed in his mansion and stayed at home. Anderson said charges will be filed soon......"
β¦β¦
"Let's look back at Sean's experience, he came to Los Angeles in '98 without any acting experience, but the following year he was an instant hit and nominated for an Oscar for the leading actor in "The Genius Ripley". After that, he participated in many movies and often broke out scandals. There is no doubt that he is an arrogant young man, and it is not surprising that he is so young that he can get carried away with his ambitions......
β¦β¦
The police said there was evidence that the person who drove into someone and died in the early hours of the morning was indeed Sean? Don, I can't believe he did such a thing, Warner actually chose him to be the lead actor in the prequel to Batman......"
β¦β¦
"No doubt, Sean? The case of Tang drug-driving and hitting someone to death and escaping will become the major case of the most concern in the new century, so let's guess whether he will escape the punishment of the law, or will he be thrown into prison and locked up until he is old? β
β¦β¦
"Gary is a good husband and a good father, he is usually very kind and kind to people, but he likes to drink a little wine, what's wrong with that? What's wrong with that! God, he should not have walked home after drinking a little wine as he had done before, as he always did, but why didn't he come back that night? How am I going to tell my children that their father won't be coming back? β
β¦β¦
After the news of Sean's suspected drug driving, as well as hitting someone to death and escaping, spread, it happened that Hollywood, no, the whole of America was in a sensation. Because...... After the Simpson case, this is the second time that a celebrity has been involved in a criminal case of a rather egregious nature, which is like a rain for the media.
That's right, literally, for the media, this kind of eye-catching news is simply a godsend, and if you don't take the opportunity to play well and attract more eyeballs, it will definitely be a failure. In particular, it also links well-known actors, drugs, hitting people to death, and driving and running away to everything, how can it not be as excited as being beaten with chicken blood, as for the feelings of the parties? Who cares, if you don't do these things, how can we report it?
Therefore, since that day, this case has continuously appeared on the front page or front page of various media, and Sean's name has been mentioned repeatedly. Most of these reports are exaggerated, and many people have rushed to convict prosecutors in newspapers when they have only raised possible charges, like Michael a decade ago. Jackson's child molestation case β two years ago.
This kind of overwhelming publicity suddenly made many people who still don't know the way or have no interest in Sean begin to engrave his name in their minds, and it can be said that in just half a month, he is the most well-known person in the United States, surpassing countless celebrities. However, not many people want such fame, not to mention anything else, "Batman Prequel: Time to War" was about to be released, but it was postponed by Warner.
Although Warner said that it was because of problems in post-production, anyone with a discerning eye knew what it was.
However, Sean did not sit still.
