Chapter 45: A traitor has emerged from us

"Yaga, what's going on? Spain! I'll him, uncle, this lawsuit can't be fought! FXXK! ”

Chris was surprised by Edward's sudden burst of multilingual profanity, and explained to the others with a serene expression, "Don't worry, Hebrew and German will appear as usual, and generally speaking, the more languages that come out of his mouth, the more trouble he will have." Let's stop here for today, everyone go back and have a good rest, and then we can think of other defense strategies. ”

Everyone thinks that this is the only way to do it now, otherwise everyone is angry in their hearts, and when they get together, they will definitely change from a case discussion meeting to a street scolding Grand Prix, which is really unseemly.

", that's not right!" Edward suddenly said viciously.

Chris had just sent the three out of the gate when he saw him with a fierce expression and was taken aback, "Are you okay?" ”

Edward gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, but I'm afraid it's a big deal." ”

“? Hmmm"

"We've got ♂ a traitor!"

“!! Impossible."

"What Sherlock Holmes said, after all the impossible is eliminated, what remains is the truth."

"Frankly, Holmes shouldn't have said this with such a treacherous expression as yours. You seem to be more like Professor Moriarty. ”

"Don't interrupt!" Edward's teeth clenched, "You may not even be as intelligent as Watson?" Two days ago, the first Special Olympics were held in Chicago, are you a competitor? ”

"Giggle......" Edward suddenly heard a familiar voice, and looked up to see the big black man pinching the knuckles on his fingers.

"Okay, you calm down, you want to fight without fighting. Don't you think it's strange? Both times we started from extremely off-the-beaten-path and even bizarre angles, but the other side fought back logically, like a school upperclassman doing a mock court for freshmen...... Fluency? I think Solomon in court almost praised us for being very good and in good spirits! It's not scientific! ”

"Indeed," Chris touched the blast head and fell into deep thought.

"Twice in a row...... Once, I can understand that Solomon took shit luck, but hehehe, twice...... "Edward sneered" We must have undercover agents in us! Who do you think it will be? ”

"Don't know? You and I must not be, Bert is the legal adviser of the Alliance, the next president, I don't think it is possible to say that he is a traitor. ”

"Yes, Bert is not suspicious, in fact, he is very uncomfortable for the prosecution as a defense lawyer, in Solomon's eyes, Bert Witzley should have stood in the defendant's dock, so he also used his brains to just crucify Bert to death, but there is no evidence so he gave up, so Bert and Solomon should be dead." Edward added

"Barry is not like that, if he is really unreliable, the Collobo family will be unlucky in the first place, and the temptation to destroy a large mafia family is much better than to destroy a small coalition of radical Jews." Chris is actually a very attentive person, and can often notice things that others don't notice.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were silent at the same time!

A terrible thought came to mind.

Stumped that whistleblower hiding among the accused?

This inference seems to have magical powers, knowing that it is absurd, but it can't help but make people carefully analyze and speculate, and the more you think about it, the more you feel that it is not impossible.

The Jewish Safeguard League, a stabilised organization, has long been under government surveillance, and it is a common practice in the NYPD to plant "moles" in them.

Edward's grandfather, Mizrasi Rabi, was also seen as a "mole" near him, but was soon discovered.

Then when this guy was walking in a small alley, he was put on a flour bag, beaten severely, and then thrown at the door of the police station at night, and the world was peaceful from then on.

As for why that guy was exposed, the reason is simple.

The "mole" was a policeman, and the policemen in Millican had a kind of brotherhood of rules, and often had all kinds of garish tattoos that only they themselves understood the meaning of, similar to the Russian prisoners.

An Orthodox Jew would never accept a tattoo.

This suggests that there aren't many undercover Jews in New York's police system, suggesting that the police may be more inclined to recruit from Jewish organizations.

"Damn, no wonder, the prosecution has not tried to reach an out-of-court settlement from beginning to end, not once. I also said how Solomon couldn't get his mind open this time. It turns out that the problem is here. Edward finally figured it out.

The judiciary in the United States is very fond of solving problems through out-of-court settlements, where the defendant pleads guilty, the prosecution reduces the charges, and the judge is happy to relax, which can also reduce the occupation of judicial resources.

Regardless of the size of the case, the prosecution will try to obtain more benefits through out-of-court settlements, such as making the defendant a tainted witness or recovering more stolen money, which is more affordable than going to the court to do so.

As the name suggests, this is an important indicator to assess the ability of prosecutors, and the higher the ratio, the higher the ratio, the higher the ratio indicates the higher the efficiency of the prosecutor.

This further contributes to the atmosphere of out-of-court settlement, where the sentence of 10 years in court and 5 years in out-of-court settlement are all "guilty" in the prosecutor's record, which will not affect the conviction rate, but in turn can save a huge amount of time and resources, which can then be used to investigate and prosecute more.

In this way, as long as the intelligence is normal, they will choose to settle out of court rather than go to court as much as possible, and under normal circumstances, 90% of the cases in the United States will be settled out of court.

The lawyer also likes this, after all, it is right to help the defendant reduce the sentence, and the lawyer's fee is right, so everyone can save some things, isn't it good?

But this time, it's clearly different.

If you consider it from the point of view that there are traitors in the defendants, then all the previous problems will be solved.

For example:

Assuming Sheldon was the whistleblower, he would have been able to confess all the facts of the crime and his defense strategy, which would have been more to Solomon than he could have obtained by settling out of court alone, or collectively, and there was no need for such a move.

Because

If an out-of-court settlement agreement is reached with Shelton alone, it will arouse the suspicion of the other two defendants and make them join forces in court, which neither the judge nor the prosecutor wants to see.

What if an agreement is reached with all three at the same time to confuse the other two defendants?

Theoretically feasible, but the effort is too great, and the judicial cost is too high, originally secretly Sheldon alone was enough to reduce his sentence by 5 years, and now the three of them come together to reduce their sentences by five years each.

In this way, the punishment of the offender will be greatly reduced, and Solomon will not be able to account for his boss and his constituents.

What's more, Solomon and Edward still have a personal vendetta, so just take this opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of playing with the enemy in the palm of your hand.

So, Solomon's best strategy now is to have Sheldon and the other two defendants appealed, and then, when the defense lawyer is exhausted, suddenly declares that someone has become a tainted witness, so that the traitor can get a reduced sentence, and the defense lawyer can only watch the other two get a heavy sentence because the ammunition has run out.

It is equivalent to saying that the reduced punishment of the mole was added to the heads of the other two, one in and one out, the prosecution did not lose overall, but the defense lawyer was completely toyed with.

Moreover, taking advantage of this asymmetry of information, he was able to deceive more inside information and deduct more serious charges and sentences on the heads of the other two defendants, which would also be a good account for the vast number of patriotic and peace-loving residents of the United States.

"Baga, I'll fuck his uncle!" Edward was really angry, "Is this walking us like dogs?" Solomon, the idiot, should be laughing happily by now, participating in a boxing match where his opponent is tied hand and foot...... Damn it. ”

"What's next?"

"Of course it's to find out the traitor!"

"Okay, I'll go tell the other three."

"No, take it slowly." Edward stopped, "Don't alarm them yet, we'll find out for ourselves!" Now I don't believe anyone but you! ”

"Hehe, you want to trick me into giving you a free coolie again......" The other party didn't appreciate it.

"You have to trust me, Chris!"

"Huh"

"Damn, why is this guy so good? According to the general online text routine, when I said that I only believed him, this product should not be moved to tears, and then worked tirelessly day and night to pick cotton for me...... Belch...... No, flip through the information! If it goes on like this, it's not cool, and readers are going to abandon the book! ”

Despite this, the two of them quickly devoted themselves to the work of catching ghosts.

Edward's idea was simple: they now had all the details of the Jewish Safeguard League and the three defendants.

Since someone has done something shady and shady, then he will definitely leave enough evidence in the archives and materials, and all he needs is patience and a little luck.

He confessed his thoughts to Chris, who stroked his explosive head, "I have to say, I admire you." It's true. ”

Edward smiled wryly, "Hehe, depending on your luck." ”

It's one thing to know how to do it, but it's a lot of work...... He had a headache just thinking about it.

For the next three days, Chris went through all the information in his hand, and in those years, computers were not yet common, and he couldn't use keywords to find this kind of killer, so he could only lie in front of his desk, facing a document several feet high, and scan it line by line with his eyes.

After three days, the blast head was a little wilted.

Edward is no better, if there is a WeChat movement in this era, he can take an estimated 50,000 steps a day.

Running all over New York, the New York City District Attorney's Office, the Federal New York State Attorney's Office, the New York City Police Department, the New York State District Attorney's Office, and the four local courts of first instance in the southeast and northwest of New York, the New York State Court of Appeals, and so on, of course, were not for group photos - that's what devil tour groups do.

Based on the clues that Chris sorted out, Edward went to these judicial departments to read more detailed first-hand information and reports, and then summarized the key parts, and then returned to Chris for him to summarize and sort them out.

On the fourth day, in the evening, the two compared the information carefully arranged by each other, and sure enough, one person met the conditions, and there was only one person.
