Chapter 146: The Unexpected
"When will my lawyer come?", Durin asked on the way back.
During the interrogation, he calmly avoided all the questions that should not be answered and what should not be said, but this does not mean that he can rely on himself to complete the trial and defense work. Professional things should be done by professional people, this is what Dühring learned in his dreams, and the lawyer knows better than him the value and loopholes of every legal clause, and he also knows how to convince the uneducated jury members with his lips.
He had already contacted Kevin, who introduced him to a lawyer who worked at Ordo, the very good one. Of course, Kevin says he's a little worse than himself, but there are some places where he's a little taller. The worse is the ability, the higher is the fee, the fee of one hundred dollars per hour and the agency fee of three thousand dollars are indeed a little higher than Kevin, and Durin also hopes that he can be worthy of his price.
If he can't, he'll go back to Hell to meet Hades.
Count the time, this guy should have arrived too.
Mason took his handcuffs and led him forward, originally according to the evidence collected in the police station and the accusations against Durin, he still needed to wear shackles, but fortunately, the way the police station was managed was flexible and "humane" enough, so he didn't have those things on his feet.
"The application has been delivered, and tomorrow morning around nine o'clock you will be able to see your lawyer, and you have thirty minutes. After saying this, Mason endured it, but finally didn't hold back, and continued: "I don't know if I'm crazy, Dad's treasure has never exceeded a hundred yuan in cash, and now you hire a lawyer for a fee of one hundred yuan an hour, and you need to pay another three thousand yuan in agency fees, it's really crazy!"
During this time, Mason's three views were also violently impacted, and when he was in the countryside in the past, he was happy to get ten points and twenty points, just like the New Year, and it is said that the women in the town were only fifty points a night, and the older ones were thirty-five points. Mr. Kersma's "treasure" - the small iron box contained some money, not much, never more than a hundred, this was known to the whole family, only Mr. Kersma thought that everyone did not know.
But look at the present, here, every morning as soon as you open your eyes and start spending money until you fall asleep yourself. Sometimes Mason wonders if he goes to a more prosperous place like the capital, will he even have to pay for his breath?
It is possible that each person is only allowed to breathe as many breaths of fresh air as they are free each day, and each breath beyond this amount costs a penny .......
Well, that's the illusion and fear of the metropolis that an old hat can't say anything.
He now has a contradictory and conflicting perception of the concept of money, money should be very precious, many people only have an income of ten yuan a month, and thirty or fifty of them are middle and high class people. But on the first day he came, Durin gave him a wad of money to decide what he should do, but he had to spend it all within a month. So he and the police officers in the substation who were willing to stand on his side spent a long time corrupt.
Alcohol, cigarettes, women, and even Paradise they have tried. He already felt that he was extravagant and wasteful, but it was better to hire a lawyer...... Forgive him for his ignorance.
Hiring a lawyer is indeed a very expensive move, and you can get different explanations from different angles. In Durin's view, hiring a lawyer is not a waste of money, but a time to buy with money. No matter how confident he is before the trial, it is ultimately up to the jury and district judge to decide whether he is guilty or not guilty and how many years he should go to jail. It is indeed very economical not to hire a good lawyer, and lawyers who are ten or twenty dollars an hour and only one hundred dollars an hour in Turnell City are everywhere.
But they can't help Dührin minimize his "prison" x day trip, which only can be done by lawyers who need to spend a lot of money.
In this way, in fact, hiring a lawyer is equivalent to using money to buy a shortened sentence, so it is worth it, which is why Kevin is able to enjoy it. This damn "devil's advocate" is always able to do what he is supposed to accomplish by surprise, and sometimes overachieve, provided that you make him "fed".
When they returned to the cage, the moment the grinding of the iron door sounded, the cage that was still a little noisy suddenly became quiet, as if the subjects were waiting for their king to come.
"I'll have the stove brought in tomorrow, and I think you'd better exercise some restraint if you don't have to. Mason untied the handcuffs from Durin's hands and couldn't help but instruct, "Four of you died the first day you came in, and although I am not in charge here, it is still ugly." ”
Durin rubbed his wrist, turned around and said with a smile, "They won't!"
Yes, it won't.
If you die four and still can't understand the current situation, you have to run over to send them to death, that is, that person should die, and no one can stop it. Du Lin believes that the people who are still alive today should not be too stupid, they are all "social elites"!
When he turned around again, Dover had already led someone out to greet him, and after the group escorted Dürin back to the room, Dover asked, "Is it going well?"
Durin took off his coat and wrapped himself in a new quilt, straining himself tightly and humming in satisfaction, "According to our previous plan, there will be no problems." He rolled over and completely pressed the last bit of the quilt under him, "Be careful with that inquisitor, don't say things you shouldn't say, don't be nervous, it's all just a game." ”
"This damn weather, the quilt feels wet!"
In the midst of the grumblings, Durin fell into a deep sleep. By the time he woke up, it was already the next day.
The lawyer introduced by Kevin came as promised, a very energetic "young man", about thirty years old, dressed in a decent suit, very neat and capable, and the lawyer's badge on his chest was shiny. You can feel his strength when you shake Durin's hand, and it looks like a guy worthy of his high salary.
"Mr. Doolin, before we speak, I would like to ask you one thing. He smiled and opened his notebook and took out a pen, "Do you think you are guilty of all the charges that the police department has against you?", he laughed twice, "I am a lawyer with integrity, and I will never disclose any information about my employer or the content of the conversation, this is the power given to me by law." ”
Durin shook his head, "I'm innocent!"
The lawyer slapped the table, and the sudden movement startled Durin, his eyebrows twitched, and the guy said, "Very good, that's what you want." I believe that any of my employers are innocent and innocent, and all the accusations are shameless and despicable planting, and then we have a few issues that need to be resolved. ”
Looking at the lawyer, and the communication with him, Durin gradually understood why Kevin would let him spend such money to hire him because of his connections. In addition to a very high level of professionalism, the lawyer profession also needs to have excellent persuasive skills and public relations skills.
A lawyer for ten dollars an hour may know one or two court staff who are not very inconspicuous, and a lawyer for an hour of fifty yuan may have a little connection with the police chief or the judge of the court, so the lawyer for an hour of 100 yuan may be his father!
It's worth the money!
Because the gentleman of three thousand dollars told Dohrin that he had the means to clear his body of the charges and charges in the state court if he appealed after the outcome of the trial in the Turnair District Court.
For this, more money is also needed.
That's a pretty good lawyer, isn't it?
With the attention of the mayor and a well-developed script, this scene was staged much faster than expected. It took less than five days for the first trial to begin.
This was the first time in his life that Durin personally participated in the trial, and before the trial, Durin repeatedly made a final request to Mr. 3,000 - he needed a bullshit charge to let him and his people go to prison and hide for a while.
After the trial was arranged, everything was arranged according to the script, and Durin calmly watched as one charge after another was denied, and the ignorant citizens at the hearing continued to exclaim, and just when Durin thought it was all over, suddenly the prosecutor asked for a witness who was not in the plan, and presented a testimony that was not in the plan.
Du Lin frowned, and Mr. Three Thousand Yuan also looked inexplicable, because this witness and testimony were not on the agenda of the trial.
"The reason for this decision is to minimize the defendant's influence on the witness and testimony through some means, so we deliberately withheld the witness and his testimony in the preliminary work. As the prosecutor spoke, a homeless man, protected by two bailiffs, walked to the witness stand.
The corners of Dufo's eyes twitched as he clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. How could he not know the homeless man, who he met on the road on the night Graff delivered the wine, and he gave the homeless a little money. He didn't know what this homeless man knew, and it wasn't actually his fault, but he felt that he should bear a certain responsibility.
Durin tilted his head and looked at Dufo, "Do you know him, what does he know?"
Dover didn't speak, the prosecutor spoke first, "Your Excellency, jury, I now file a new charge against the criminal group headed by Doolin, accusing them of murdering two night patrol officers one night three months ago!"
With an uproar, the whole courtroom was boiling!
