however

……

Lost the first battle!

Although it was expected, everyone still felt very frustrated, losing was one thing, and the court opened today, and the defense was completely in a situation of being beaten.

Solomon and his deputy, Henry Puzeer, were as if possessed by the goddess of justice, and they came up with a hammer, still with an industrial hammer!

The evidence is detailed and logical, and Edward secretly applauded in his heart when he heard it.

But then he was frightened, Solomon is too dark!

He went so far as to directly ask the judge to sentence the three defendants to death.

This voice directly shook everyone, including the judges, considering that since McCarthy sent the Rosenbergs to the electric chair in 1951 for providing atomic bomb secrets to Red Russia, New York State has not pronounced the death penalty for more than a decade, and even abolished the death penalty in 1967 by federal law.

(PS, this is a historical fact.) But under the strange system of the United States, even if the federal level is completely abolished, the states still have the right to send people to the gallows, but the process will be very cumbersome, so I will not repeat it here. I don't think most Chinese people can understand this, including me)

Of course, the effect is good, and the three defendants suddenly turned like dirt, collapsed directly on the defendant's seat, and almost peed their pants on the spot.

On the contrary, it has effectively deterred criminals and potential criminals, and restored capitalism to a clear and fair social environment.

Next, the defense's Barry Slotnik, the most experienced lawyer in the defense, took the lead, and he explained the difference between an incendiary bomb and a bomb from a variety of angles, as agreed in advance.

He is a well-known criminal lawyer, and he is also a child of the Polo Park community, who took Edward's grandfather's funding to enter Georgetown University Law School, which is certainly not as famous as Yale Harvard, but it is also one of the top 14 law schools in the United States.

Barry Slotnik, 40 years old, has a typical Jewish look, with a wide face, large eyes, a large mouth and his trademark hooked nose, which may not be popular with women, but it does give the impression of being shrewd and reliable in front of customers, and he has done well in business over the years.

Especially the defense of Joe Collobo last year, which made him a red man in the eyes of the mafia family.

Collobo is also one of the five major families in New York, and their choice of an "outsider" to be a lawyer, rather than someone from the family legal counsel group, is the best advertisement.

Barry also lived up to expectations, winning the case cleanly, and "Bloody Hand" Joe was acquitted.

Now he is arguingly questioning that the use of explosives in buildings because it affects interstate and foreign trade does not apply to the case, and that the federal inspectorate represented by Solomon does not have jurisdiction over the case.

Of course, the old fritter works well, he doesn't look as good as the other party, but years of professional experience make this dim-looking guy shine in the court, partly because he doesn't have any hair, plus there is a high-power light on the top of his head.

Edward nodded slightly when he noticed the judge.

This is a very good situation.

Unexpectedly, Solomon immediately stood up and began to retort, citing a very fresh precedent - three days earlier, the judge of the New York State Court of Appeals had stated in a judgment that "a mass burning is as destructive and injurious as an explosion, and can be classified as a criminal act of the same kind." ”

And then......

Then, the judge reviewed the steaming appellate court decision on the spot, and then struck the gavel, finding that Solomon was acting legally as the prosecutor in the case.

Edward's side could only ask for an adjournment.

……

Barry Slotnik had expected the first cannon to fire and catch Solomon off guard, which was excellent propaganda for both the case and himself, but now he was blocked and almost exploded.

Of the four, he was the most annoyed, and was now spewing around the office in circles.

"Hehe, Barry, don't walk around, I'm over fifty years old, and my blood pressure is a little high, and I feel even more dizzy when I see you like this." Bert Witzleben was not in a good mood either.

On the other side, the three rookies looked at each other, and in addition to Edward Chris, there was also a young man, lawyer Barukhyan Sorokin, who was Shelton's nominal defender, just like Kabamazepin's role before, but in terms of ability, it was much worse than the Italians.

He just got his lawyer's license last year, and his grandfather came to the country from Munich through the "Revolving Door Church" in the Polo community, so this is the time for him to repay the favor.

He also understands his identity and role, and usually quietly takes the initiative to help with some copywriting work, which Chris welcomes very much, at least the typist.

"How could you be so unlucky!" Edward was annoyed, "That's, we just came up with this solution, and a similar case came out over there." ”

"This is too much of a coincidence, isn't it, that as soon as my defense opinion reached the court of first instance, the court of appeal issued a relevant precedent?" Chris was also upset.

There are three main types of legal systems on the earth, the law of the sea system represented by Britain and the United States, the civil law system represented by France and Germany, and the Russian-style legal system, which is unique to the Russians.

Lao Maozi aside, the difference between the first two mainly lies in the source of the basis of the judgment.

Civil law system generally refers to the general term for a complete legal system formed and developed on the basis of Roman law. Since this legal system first appeared and formed on the European continent, it has the characteristics of a code, so it is also called a code family.

Jurists seek to create a sound legal system and clarify the internal logic in order to construct the most complete "legal edifice". Civil law systems are also commonly known as civil law families, because civil law countries have a large and detailed Civil Code.

The common law system, also known as the common law system or the law of the sea system, is based on the English common law, but does not only refer to the common law, but is a general term for the common law, the law of equity and the statutory law, which is a product of capitalist economic relations.

The common law system has a completely different approach to legislation than the civil law system, believing that "law itself cannot be perfect", and emphasizing the solution of specific problems based on specific experience.

Therefore, the common law system is more "precedent" in adjudication principles, that is, the precedent that serves as a precedent is legally binding on subsequent cases and will become the "principle" for the adjudication of future cases. This makes it highly targeted and flexible. This is also evident in the book.

As a simple example, if Chris breaks Edward's leg, if he were in Germany, the judge would decide whether to sentence him to three years in prison or five years based on the various judgments and judgments issued by the High Court.

In the United States, it is more based on classic precedents that have occurred before, such as three years ago, when Fetcher was sentenced to three years for breaking one of Hansen's legs in the same way, then the judge used this as the basis for sentencing.

The same is true of the legal basis followed by the lawyer's defense.

"Are we really that unlucky?" Chris is a devout believer, and it stands to reason that this kind of thing is a test for the Lord, but he is also a little undetermined at the moment.

"Damn, this is not the case!" Edward said hatefully, "Then let's go another way!" There is no road on the road, Lao Tzu is the eighth road! ”

"How amazing is 'pretty Solomon'!" Barry Slotnik touched his beautiful mustache and sighed with a sigh of nothingness.

Everyone has an ominous premonition in their hearts, and there is no evidence, but for excellent legal people, many times, premonition is often evidence.

This new verdict came "too timely".

……

After a few discussions, they separated, and each thought about it again.

However, everyone understands that nominally it is a four-person cooperation, but in fact Edward is the host, not because of his status as a Yale student, cough cough cough, he is the grandson of Mizrasi Rabi.

Everyone knows the energy of the old rabbi, and they can naturally carry it in their hearts.

Before parting, Edward gritted his teeth and said, "If the facts are favorable to us, we emphasize the facts, and if the law is favorable to us, we emphasize the provisions." ”

"But for now, the facts and the law seem to be on Solomon's side." Bert Witzleben Road.

"Then muddy the waters!"

The two legitimate lawyers are both experienced and experienced people, and they immediately shrugged their shoulders together, expressing their approval, and at the same time felt that the future was terrifying, and they were well versed in the essence of the law before they graduated, and the future was unlimited, plus the support of the old rabbi, so the two made up their minds that no matter what, even if they paid for this case, they would do it beautifully, and it didn't matter if all the credit was thrown to Edward, they just wanted to leave a good impression in front of him.

……

Returning to the lodgings, Chris asked:

"So how are you going to muddy the waters? I have to say that this time the FBI handled the case very well, all kinds of evidence are flawless, forming a logical and complete chain of evidence. ”

"NND, let me think. What the hell do you think these fools are for? Edward was distressed again, "It's a good day, but to play with guns and bombs, Dobrynin hasn't offended them!" If you are really proud of your own nation, then you will immigrate to Israel, the Wehrmacht is recruiting! With machine guns and grenades, he is fighting the enemy. ”

"Well, most of these guys are admirers of Begin." Chris is also quite helpless, as a black man he is used to being oppressed, of course he is also resisting, entering law school is his way of resisting, but he never thought of engaging in large-scale violence.

"Hey, Begin is really a bad head, he is good, now he has become the leader of the minority party in the Knesset, and he has become the minister of affairs. The violent attacks that were planned in the past have become military merit. Why didn't Ben Gurion crush him to death? If he had died at that time, he would have been a hundred, and it would have been a great contribution to the peace of Milicon, where is there a large number of disciples and grandchildren like now. The point is that although Begin threw bombs, he didn't bomb the Jews either! ”

"I don't have a good feeling for this guy who attacked the British with ** during World War II...... But I have to admit that such people often become idols, and desperate paranoia can effectively attract low-IQ groups. For example, we also have a branch of the 'Beta' organization in China, but fortunately they are not big enough, and the FBI also has undercover agents in it. ”
