Chapter 14: Surprise Attack

"Hello, I'm Edward Young, who are you?" Edward asked, speaking into the phone

"Hello, my name is Camamacipin Piero and I am the defense lawyer of Dami Nizo. Dami had just been taken away by NYPD officers. There was a dry voice on the other end

"What?! Do they have an arrest warrant? After asking, Edward regretted it, after all, the other party is a legitimate lawyer and will not let the police take advantage of such loopholes.

"Yes" replied succinctly and clearly: "Fetcher asked me to inform you, please come to New York as soon as possible." I'm going to the police station now to keep an eye on. ”

"Okay, we'll be right here." Edward hung up the phone, his mind spinning again.

Yesterday, both of them were at home watching TV.

I have to say that although it was only 1968, the reporters of the United States were exemplary in making big news and running fast.

Various wireline and wireless television stations broadcast in turn, and the campus is open anyway, and the large lawn, where Hansen and others are based, is large enough for all media to calmly put on a front.

Hansen's group of people all have long hair and beards, and their bodies are draped in coarse wool tapestries, and this highly visually striking image is also in line with the characteristics of television transmission - it can catch people's attention more simply and roughly.

Accompanied by fierce or psychedelic slogans, in short, the fire is getting bigger and bigger.

Edward, of course, was overjoyed by this.

The fact that opponents who don't play their cards according to common sense are now being forced back to the court to argue is a good start in itself.

"Let's go, let's go to New York!" The two men carried briefcases full of papers, and the purple Chieftain's Star roared and headed south.

……

"Nizo was obedient and didn't say anything, but the police were very unkind, as were the prosecutors, who hinted more than once that they had enough evidence to accept an out-of-court deal." Kamazepin pondered for a while and added, "Then we can only see you in court, but once you enter the trial process...... The jury will always be in favor of 'Pretty Solomon'"

"Pretty Solomon?"

Solomon Blomheim, assistant prosecutor in the New York branch of the Federal Prosecutor's Office, is a promising rising star in law. He can be described as beautiful in almost all aspects, face, education, professional skills, personal charm and so on. According to statistics, in the cases in which he was the appellant, the winning rate was not high and only 60%, but if there was a jury, his winning rate was almost 100%, and he was never overturned by a higher court! ”

“…… He's supposed to go to Hollywood," Edward shrugged easily, but his heart was pounding.

Such an opponent...... If you go to court, you may not have a chance of winning.

Chris, who is of mixed race and has a rough and dark appearance, originally thought that the trial lawyer provided by the Nizo family would be more decent, but Kamazepin obviously disappointed them, this guy with a small goatee looked a little like Lenin.

Sensei, this honor will definitely not be liked by the jury of the United States.

Not only does the chin resemble Lenin, but the head is even more similar!

Being bald at a young age is an extremely serious appearance defect, which is equivalent to a major production accident in Huaguo in the previous life!

Look at Hollywood, or lower your claim to Bollywood, who has ever seen a bald star?

It sounds nonsensical, but court debates rely on professional ability, not beauty pageants to look at appearances.

But it can't be helped, this is a country built on the media, the government relies on the media to fool the people at the bottom, and in turn, the fooled people will form a strange force to restrict the government to some extent, forcing meat eaters to really "obey the name" in many places, which can be regarded as a kind of love and killing.

For example, with the development of live television, the debate between the two candidates before the presidential election looks more like a large-scale variety show, and the clothing, hair, and makeup of the debaters on both sides are carefully handled by a special team in order to win the first time and please the audience or voters.

In this regard, in the 1960 election, Kennedy of the Democratic Party won the hearts of countless voters (mainly women) on live television broadcasts, successfully offsetting the advantage of his opponent Nixon in debating professionalism, and became the youngest president in history.

Anyone who lived through that election knew that while Nixon was calm, logical, and full of witty sayings, Kennedy's performance on the debate bench was so bad that anyone would have thought that Nixon would have won the election.

However, this unprecedented first televised debate helped Kennedy a lot, handsome appearance, proper manners, and well-matched light-colored suits, making him look young and energetic, and even a touch of sexy, Nixon's dark suit looked dull and gloomy on the black-and-white TV screen, and he was originally fierce in appearance, so he completely lost points in appearance, and also lost the White House, which was originally likely to be available.

Even in presidential elections where the fortunes of the country are at stake, it is only natural that the glamorous one in a petty courtroom debate will have a greater advantage over his opponent, especially the odd mix of a typical Anglo-Saxophone elite male against a Latin or a Negro and a Jew.

"God forbid, I hope that when the time comes, Dami's brown eyes will deeply touch the hearts of the middle-aged and elderly women on the jury, it seems that the big eyes of Carslan have not been invented these days, otherwise they will have to be used by this kid!" Edward's heart is dripping blood, Dami is responsible for his own appearance, the quality is absolutely superior, but he is the defendant, there is basically no power to speak in the court, and only when questioned by lawyers on both sides can he sit dryly in the chair and return to the problem with the binary method of "yes" or "no", there is no possibility of shaping the character with tone, and the attitude that can be put on is only a choice - pitiful.

In contrast, a lawyer can dress well, with a custom-made three-piece suit with a silk embroidered tie, a gem-encrusted cufflink and a pin to swagger in the courtroom, or impassioned and generous, or euphemistic and moving, if necessary, Shakespeare, Hugo, Tocqueville's famous sentences gushing out at any time, which is also the reason why legal and political film and television works have always been popular in Millican, not only have stories and plots, but also watch men's high-end fashion shows by the way, which are popular with women.

Solomon has the same excellent appearance, and the battle between the prosecution and defense has already been decided before it is fought.

"How much money did Fetcher prepare? Let's bail Dami out first. Chris suggested.

"Yes, Fericht has almost emptied his family for this lawsuit, and he can mobilize $200,000 in the short term, and he can actually come up with more, but I have calculated that once this amount is exceeded, it is likely to attract the attention of the IRS, and the federal government can do anything to get people in." "We must avoid all potential risks, even if it makes us passive in the short term"

This made Edward impressed by this mediocre-looking guy.

IRS, the well-known National Taxation Bureau of the United States, has a famous saying that the only thing in a person's life is death and paying taxes is inevitable.

People in the United States can not care about the FBI, but if they underestimate the IRS, hehe, then wait for the breakdown.

The IRS, with its vicious and professional law enforcement capabilities, is a lingering nightmare for the residents of the United States, but as long as you pay your taxes on time and don't mess with the mess, you're generally okay with each other.

But on the other hand, if the government is desperate to get a person or a group, and after trying to find that there is really no way to do it, the IRS will become the trump card that determines the outcome of the game.

"Use me in the last battle, use me to win" is an oath engraved in the hearts of American tax enforcement officers.

In fact, they did it, the famous gang leader "Machine Gun Capone" in Chicago in the twenties, he could change the form of gang fighting with a military submachine gun, he could make Chicago's police judges and prosecutors bow to him, he could manipulate the campaign, when he thought he was the uncrowned king of the United States, the government dispatched the IRS, so he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion, which does not seem to be a long sentence.

But not long after being imprisoned, he inexplicably contracted syphilis and finally lost his life.

It can be seen that government enforcers are not alone, and only when faced with the needs of ordinary citizens, will they put on an attitude of "this is under the jurisdiction of other departments, I can't help you, may God bless you", but when necessary, they are far more united than the gang members and often more vicious.

Then again, if it weren't for that, there really wouldn't be a way to clean up that group of lawless guys.

Criminals are always cunning and treacherous, and the consequence of law enforcers taking the stupid and sweet route can only be corrupted and played with by the former, and then go along with it.

At this point, the IRS has become a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all black or gray people in the United States, always reminding these underground kings who dominate the side who is the real master of the New World.

Kabamazepin is a veteran, obviously understands the mystery of its =, thinks carefully, and acts in a routine that does not leak.

"We must not afford to make a difference," he added.

"It's really their luck that the Nizo family has you." Edward complimented heartily.

"Unfortunately, I majored in economic law and was not well versed in criminal proceedings. Fat Tony has a few old criminal lawyers in his hands, but unfortunately they can't spare time. Kamazepin's face showed indignation, obviously the schedule issue was just an excuse from the other party.

"Alright, gentlemen, here's the cheque book, when will I bail my poor Dami!" Féricher pushed the door open.

The weather was cold, but he was still dressed as a typical MAFIA spokesman, with a dark green plaid shirt with a large pointed collar underneath and a light purple plaid cashmere coat on the outside.

"Are you going to a nightclub, my dear Mr. Fériche?" Edward sneered.

“? Well? I've always dressed up like this, you're going to be in ...... Mixing on the street, dressing too formally, not only is it not a deterrent, but it is also inconvenient once you start to use it, so you see, we never tie it. Fetcher patiently explained the issue of "professional attire".

"When you change your clothes, whether you go to the court to go through bail procedures or go to the police station to collect people, you have to face a large number of reporters, you should understand your 'profession'."

"What? There's no shame in that! Fricher replied as a matter of course: "We are traditional, and we never touch drugs and the like!" ”

"I ...... You ......" Edward didn't come back in one breath, he was almost suffocated to death, this guy is really a model of dedication and love for the classics, did he send him a trophy for the inheritor of Sicilian intangible cultural heritage?

"Listen to me, for the sake of Dami, you should change into a formal suit...... A three-piece set of ordinary notch lapels will do" The green tendons on Edward's forehead were jumping, but he still persuaded him.

"But I don't have a three-piece suit......"

"Then FXXK is going to buy it now! Hear me! FXXK, you appear in front of FXXK reporters like this, even if Dami is innocent, he has to be labeled as the successor of the FXXK underworld, you FXXK understand! Got it? We're dealing with an uninformed TV audience, you know! Appearance, appearance, appearance! is the most important thing!! ”
