Chapter 74: "Judge Arnold told you to go to his locker room!"
"Hehe," Hansen smiled very weirdly, "the United States Equality Culture Foundation sponsored me a sum of money. ”
“??? What kind of pheasant agency is this, I haven't heard the name, but it's throwing money around? When will you introduce me to me? "Edward's Jewish nature came up, and if he didn't cut the head of the wrong, he couldn't go to the Jewish ancestral grave when he died.
"Hehe" Hansen smiled strangely, and did not answer, but sent Carl Wright upstairs to sleep first.
"I'm just introducing you, you just don't dare to go......" Hansen looked strange.
"Why?"
"Hey, Ed, aren't you smart? Why are you stupid at this time? Who will give you money for no reason these days? ”
"Hansen! You are treason! Chris suddenly growled.
"Treason?" Edward still didn't get it.
"Hey, big black one, calm down, calm down. This has nothing to do with treason, didn't I just take some money. To tell the truth, if there is no money, the United States will be in even greater trouble, and if there is money, I can buy food for everyone and give them a place to live, otherwise, these guys can steal all the convenience stores in a small town in half a night, and sleep with the proprietress by the way. ”
"You! You mean the money is coming from the wrong place? After, is there someone behind? Edward stammered.
"Davarich, Hera laughs!" Hansen greeted him with a tongue wide and in Russian.
"My God!" Edward jumped, "You're crazy! Dare to take KGB's money? Do you dislike His Excellency Hoover and don't care enough about you? ”
"Hansen, I advise you, don't come into contact with them." Chris also expressed concern.
"Hey, relax, relax, buddy, who am I, a second-year Yale student, I'm about to go to third grade. My major is related to social groups. ”
Hansen was smug: "This is just to tell you, Carl they don't know." I was in contact with a serious American, and I asked Pinkerton to check that the United States Equality Culture Foundation is also a registered legal organization in the United States. Now that they're willing to give me a sum of money to support our civil rights movement, what's wrong with that? ”
"Don't be too smart," Edward was still in a cold sweat.
"Thank you for your concern, my friends, I know very well where the bottom line is, if there is no money, I will take everyone to Chicago, and if I have money, I will take it with me, and I also asked that guy to write a check to me instead of providing cash, KGB has always had a habit of using fake dollars, I don't want to go in because of using counterfeit money. And in this way, all the capital flow can be found by the government, I took the foundation's money, but I used it to buy food for everyone and let them live in hotels, why is this illegal? ”
"In short, there is nothing illegal in this matter, and in fact, my actions have not caused any damage to the United States."
Edward interrupted him, "But you're facing the KGB!" ”
"Huh? So what? I'm a poor student, what can they do with me? They can go and seduce our diplomats and decent people with swallows, and then take videos to blackmail. But for me, to be honest, I really don't like swallows, unless they call me in Russian...... Bed"
"I'm not going to cross that line, rest assured, my friends. I'm going to go out on the streets, but I love Millikan more than Russia, really. There is medicine here, there is rock 'n' roll, and one day the T6~4 tank really drives to Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, that is, even vodka has to queue up to buy it with a ticket, and the ghost is willing to live that kind of life. Hey, look, maybe I'll sell it to the FBI for some good. ”
Edward and Chris were silent.
Although I know that this guy is talking about crooked reasoning, I feel that it seems to be in the past.
"I'm a patriot, and I'm helping the United States to deplete the Russians' foreign exchange reserves. Alright, thank you for your care and hospitality, I'm going to go to sleep first, damn prison, I've got a problem with my spine. ”
……
Nonsense, in Edward's previous life, Abby Hoffman never stopped tossing and turning until the late 80s. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter wrote a letter to Hoffman in 1988 because Carter's daughter was arrested along with Hoffman and others during a 1986 protest against CIA campus recruitment. In the letter, Carter said he did not think Hoffman was responsible for the incident. In the letter, Carter also talked to him about the hostage crisis in Tehran in '79, and the hostages were held in office until Reagan's inauguration in '81.
It's not that Carter is reasonable (of course, he's pretty good among previous presidents), but it's a sign of political wisdom that he isolates his daughter from this dangerous man in another way.
……
After that, these two guys really didn't cause trouble, they stayed in their bedrooms all day, and occasionally went downstairs to talk about legal related issues, giving everyone ideas from the judicial side, but it also seemed quite professional.
This relieved Edward.
And Meghan still comes to Edward from time to time for private interviews.
Hansen watched Megan leave in a hurry with her little belly in her eyes every time, and her eyes were greedy.
But he doesn't have any bad intentions, Edward has fully demonstrated his ability, in a country like the United States, which believes in the law of the jungle, those who have the ability to eat more and take more, and mixed food stamps without ability are also the norm. He would not and would not dare to be extremely Edward.
Edward was a kind man, he ate with his mouth full of oil, and he didn't forget about others, he knew that Hansen was currently in a depressed state and needed to be comforted and relaxed.
So he called Ferichet and credited Hansen with all his expenses to the person he loved.
Hansen was touched by this...... A snatch of the keys to the P1800 sports car, jumping straight out of the window, kicking the accelerator straight into Ferrice's turf to have fun.
While the lawyers' team was busy with the various necessary texts in Shelton's case, and the courtroom was not idle, Judge Arnold was apparently beginning to notice the "essence" of Santo's testimony in court.
This is a new challenge for judges:
Before Santo's bankruptcy was made, the judge did not have to think too much about the complex legal issues involved in the defense motion, namely, whether the police promised not to subpoena the whistleblower to testify in court and whether the promise was legally valid.
Back then, all he had to do was trust the police's denials, as many judges are accustomed to.
It's also easy to understand.
After all, most of the time, the police are much more trustworthy than the suspects.
The cop said no, that is, no, and then decided, Sheldon had to testify in court, or else he would be locked up until he wanted to.
But with the tape and Santo's own admission that he did make that promise, the path didn't work.
When Judge Arnold reconvened Tuesday, it was to discuss a motion filed by another defendant in the BLM building explosion.
Edward was not in the courthouse that day.
Judge Arnold rattled on his misgivings about the motion he had raised: "I'm going to talk to Mr. Edward, what exactly does he want to... What do you tell me to do. Asking the court to stop a witness from being called in a proceeding that has not yet begun? What is the legal basis for him to think I have such power? I haven't realized that I have a right, compared to that, because I've never heard of it. In my 30-year legal career, this is simply unheard of."
While the facts were in Edward and Shelton's favor, Judge Arnold had a new consideration and understanding of the "law".
Judge Arnold was caught up in Kabamazepin's cross-examination, but this was the first time for him, and he also needed to go through legal documents or consult his peers on how to respond.
At the same time, Solomon listened to the recording and would have discovered that the tape did not contain the conversation that Santo admitted (by eavesdropping on Sheldon).
There was no progress in this trial, which was actually expected by everyone.
……
Two days later, Edward received a phone call.
"Hi, I'm Edward, may I ask who you are?"
"Solomon Bronheim!" The other end of the phone reports to the door.
Edward was startled, what is this for? Xingshi asked the sin?
Although there is no provision in the law of the United States, before the conclusion of the case, especially if there is no out-of-court settlement, the lawyers of the prosecution and defense usually do not contact each other to avoid the suspicion of being under the law.
"What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal, I want to say, your trickery in the court is very insidious, you picked the most honest Santo, and you still used to deal with the inducement and explosive questioning of the lawyer."
"Uh," Edward groaned for a moment, then replied, "I suppose you will do the same if you change places, after all, for the good of the client, I must do my best!" ”
"You're such a clever lad!" Solomon, however, surprisingly did not pursue the matter.
Instead, he began to praise it.
"It's the result of a discussion on our team."
"No, you and I both know in our hearts that this idea can only be thought up of, although you are not a practicing lawyer, but in fact you are the real protagonist in this case, and everyone else is your assistant and foil! DON'T FORGET, FAKE NEWS HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS CASE EVERY DAY LATELY. ”
Now that the other party has already said this, Edward also decided not to go around in circles anymore, "Then it is understood that this is your compliment to me!?" ”
"It's a compliment, and frankly, it's a beautiful hand, and if I had a similar idea, I'd definitely put it into practice! By the way, I would like to inform you by the way that this Friday, Judge Arnold asked you to go to his 'locker room' and explain to him the inconsistencies between the tapes and the recordings provided by Kabamazepin. ”
"Oh okay, I'll be on time, thanks for the call."
"OK, then goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Arnold told you to go to the locker room?" Chris listened to the whole conversation.
"yes, after all, this matter needs to be explained to him. What's more, before the verdict is handed down, it is normal for the judge to convene the lawyers of both sides separately to discuss the facts of the case. ”
The dressing room is a legal slang, and the judge has his own independent office suite in the courthouse, and the suite has a dressing room, which not only has a wardrobe, mirrors, etc., but also a table, chair and bench to change the robe and use it for relaxation.
A locker room conversation usually means a place between formal and informal, where both parties can exchange ideas openly and honestly, and the judge can find out difficult but important situations through methods such as side-tapping, rather than asking serious questions.
"About half an hour at most, I guess! After all, Judge Arnold's performance that day proved that he seemed to know that the transcript and the tape were inconsistent, but the subsequent cross-examination showed that he generally approved of our approach. Edward looked relaxed.
Chris scratched his head: "Although I had a bad premonition, I was persuaded by you." ”
"It's a pity that he only let me go alone, otherwise we will both appear at the same time, and I will be at ease!"

Thanks to the readers who have seen the beauty has fallen into the city for the reward
Several readers said that the next story was about the Chicago 7.
To this I would say, if you guessed, I am still your dearest author?
Ahem, in fact, I still guessed partially.
The Chicago 7 case must be written, and it should be a more important case, I will try to condense and write as briefly as possible, and strive to make everyone feel more comfortable to watch, and most of the other will have major changes.
The next case is still in New York, and the difficulty is only greater than that of Shelton.
In addition, there is no such thing as a female number one in this book, at least Cellarie is certainly not, this is not my type, and of course I believe that not many people will like her like this, even if she is young, beautiful, and smart.
In the next story, there may be a female character I like more, there is a prototype, but the changes are very big, and everyone will be optimistic about it as a novel.
It's not easy to go to the history of the seal, but it took two days to add up to a collection of less than 120, and the daily push has only risen by a few dozen......
He bowed and stepped down from the stage and crawled away from the codeword......
