Chapter 928: The Trial of the Century (Thanks to the Book Friend Tank Team for the Tip)

The reason why Frank Custer's trial is called the trial of the century is because he was the first vigilant policeman to be tried by the court, a superhero.

It is said that it is a super hero, but in fact, this word is inaccurate, Frank Cass does not have any superpowers, but he is familiar with special operations tactics such as individual soldiers and teams, and has received rigorous training in the United States Marine Corps, including combat, fighting, shooting, underwater operations, extorting confessions, intelligence gathering and other skills.

He is also proficient in all kinds of firearms, his combat weapons are not fixed, his favorite is a ballistic knife, which can be used as a dagger, and can fire the blade when necessary, and is extremely lethal at a distance of 10 meters.

It usually carries 5.56mm M16 automatic rifle with optional firing mode, 9mm caliber Browning automatic pistol, Gobo fighting knife, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, bulletproof vests and other combat equipment, and is extremely well prepared for combat.

Nick Fury also called him the highest level of human combat effectiveness.

Frank Custer is very bloody and violent, and in order to avenge his wife and children, he has countless blood on his hands, and this time alone, he has to face 37 separate murder charges, 98 lesser counts of aggravated assault, burglary, illegal possession of a weapon, reckless assault, and many other criminal damage charges, if all of these counts are convicted, Frank Custer will definitely die.

Although the New York City government has abolished the death penalty, there are still several members of the Hell Rabies who were killed by Frank in Nevada, and their accident occurred on Interstate 95, which happens to be under the jurisdiction of Nevada, where there are also death sentences.

As long as the prosecution proves Frank's guilt, Nevada will extradite him, and even if it is not lethal injection, the electric chair will not escape.

And Prosecutor Reyes, the head of the prosecution, will be sure to guarantee Frank's guilt because she intends to run for mayor of New York City, and her ascension to office is to use Flake Custer's conviction as a springboard.

If she takes him, he will be able to use this as a precedent to take down all the vigilantes in the future, including Jessica Jones, including Daredevil, including Spider-Man, etc., who said that New York is the city with the most vigilantes in the entire United States.

At the door of the New York City Superior Court, Ling Xiao stood at the door of the courtroom, leaning against the wall and looking at the solemn courtroom.

Although it cannot be said that rich people can act recklessly, but generally speaking, rich people have a very big advantage in the trial, the choice of excellent lawyers, the improvement of logistics, and the delay of lengthy legal proceedings can help them win most cases.

In the United States, excellent lawyers also need to be cultivated for a long time, countless trivial legal rules need to be memorized, countless trial experience training, personal outstanding talent, can allow them to find the most suitable legal terms at critical moments, even those extremely remote corners of the legal framework, as long as it is still valid, can be used, and the American court trial is more important is the lawyer's duel.

As the attorney general of the New York City District Attorney's Office, Reyes has enough trial experience and talent to sit in her current position, I don't know how many trials she has experienced, and she has a very high win rate, and her opponents are none other than Matt Murdoch and his partner Virgin Nelson.

"Ling, why are you here too?" A voice suddenly sounded behind Ling Xiao, and next to him was Nick Fury with a pair of black sunglasses, and not far away was his assistant Maria Hill.

"If you can come, I will come." Ling Xiao turned his head, looked at Fury, and said: "We all know the importance of this case, although the possibility of the prosecution winning is very high, but the defendant is not hopeless, and once the defendant wins, then to a certain extent, even if it is declared invalid of the Sokovia Surveillance Act, such an important matter, how can I not come." ”

To some extent, these Avengers are also vigilantes, and if they can legally support the Avengers' actions, then the superhero split caused by the Sokovia Regulatory Act can be ended.

The division caused by the Sokovia Regulatory Act is not only the Avengers, but also many people in the entire super world, many people can't help but take sides, plus governments and some people with intentions are secretly promoting, and the entire super world has long been full of gunsmoke.

If Frank Custer can win the case this time, then he can endorse the actions of many people, so that they no longer have to worry about the Sokovia Regulatory Act, and once Frank Custer loses the case, then it is conceivable that the turmoil and bloodshed in the superpower world will be even more intense.

Fury should have the same idea as Ling Xiao, on the one hand, because Frank Custer is his comrade-in-arms, and according to the information he has received, this case has already involved him somewhat, and on the other hand, he also hopes that the turmoil in the superpower world can subside and end the current actual arms race.

It wasn't just Ling Xiao and Fury who appeared in this courtroom, Jessica and Patricia also mixed in disguise, and in the other corner sat Peter Parker, who came on leave, and not far behind Flac Custer seemed to be Big Daddy, Super Killer and King Haibian, and Matt Murdoch, who was sitting in the defense lawyer's seat, and Harry Osborne also came.

In this courtroom, there are many vigilantes, and if the entire courtroom is arrested, then many people are innocent, but if one is arrested one by one, most of the NYC vigilantes can be arrested.

For this case, prosecutor Reyes made a lot of preparations, and at the beginning of the trial, she came up with the first killer feature - reading the indictment.

In front of the jury, Reyes will charge Frank with 37 separate murder charges, 98 lesser counts of aggravated assault, burglary, unlawful possession of a weapon, reckless wounding of others, and many criminal damages, each of which clearly describes the victim's name, occupation, and means of killing.

Flac Custer has been completely described by Reyes as a ruthless murderer, and this is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the jury.

Matt Murdoch was also not to be trifled with, and his opening statement was also brilliant, citing Flack's actions as the impact of the failure of the justice system, citing the fact that Flac Custer had returned home from retirement and found that his wife and children had all been killed, and that the police and prosecutors had not been able to solve the case so far.

After listening to his case, the jury's face finally looked better, after all, in any case, the people who died under Frank Custer were some gangsters, there were no innocents at all, and they deserved to die.

And over the years, everyone has seen a lot of cases caused by the failure of the judicial system, some of which they have even experienced personally, after all, not everyone is born with smooth sailing.

After the end of the court statement, today's trial can be regarded as a temporary end, Ling Xiao glanced at the entire trial court for the next time, Fury and Maria Hill were gone, these two people are top and excellent agents, and they have enough ability to prevent others from discovering it.

Unlike Ling Xiao, who has now reconciled with S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury's two Aerospace Helicopters are something that the U.S. government has always coveted, and once he gets these two Aerospace Carriers, even if he can't say that he dominates the world, it's not much worse.

With a light sigh, Ling Xiao had disappeared into the courtroom and returned to his high-rise apartment not far from here.

At this time, Erica had already prepared a suit, and even got an invitation to tonight's charity gala, and when the time was about right, the two of them had already gotten into a rented Rolls-Royce and rushed to the charity gala site.

Ling Xiao's people were a little immersed in today's trial, and after a long time, he said faintly: "Erica, you have to remember, don't let yourself fall into the hands of the police, and don't be judged like a pig or a sheep. Your destiny will always be in your own hands. ”

This is the biggest lesson that Ling Xiao has learned after participating in the trial today, Fleck Custer obviously chose to surrender voluntarily after successful revenge, but now, it is said that prosecutor Reyes tried his best to catch him.

It's a joke!
