Chapter 290: The Legal System of the Netherworld
Actually, I typed the title of chapter 289 wrong
Edward was frightened and quickly brought the topic back to the case, "Uh, I want to ask, what about the heroine?" As I understand it, Linda Lafles was not prosecuted, and this is not the kindness of Mr. Nail Rake, but the possibility that some kind of agreement was reached? For example, what did she promise to testify before a jury against you? ”
"You're really expert," Harry Remes nodded, "Linda is a good girl......"
"Because you've been 'in' deeply connected," someone turned to a dirty thought.
In fact, Larry Parry did subpoena her to testify, but ...... "Harry scratched his head, a little helpless" she disappeared, and I knew she was definitely alive, she was very smart, so she just hid, and the FBI couldn't find her, so it couldn't send a subpoena to her...... So, you can see in the report that some people call her 'inflamed throat'......"
"It's a damn humor that's hard to describe...... "Edward is getting more and more interested in the case.
In total, the indictments charged the accomplices with a whopping 77 charges of "shameful crimes committed in broad daylight."
"77?" Edward himself was taken aback, just to make a hairy film, not so much.
Looking further, his nose is crooked, and the so-called 77 counts of crimes refer to ordinary arbitrary acts, as long as such acts are related to "a conspiracy to spread pornography throughout the country".
For example, "From January 1, 1968 to January 3, 1968, Linda Lefrice, Harry Remus, and Gerard Damiano flew together from New York, New York to Miami, Florida. ”
"FXXK, is this a criminal charge?" Edward felt like he had a cerebral hemorrhage.
"Yes, in fact, this trip is after the shooting, everyone will travel together to have fun...... But Lord Nail Rake considered this to be a clear step in the execution of the conspiracy, a continuation and development of the general conspiracy activity. ”
"......" Edward covered his face in pain, "I don't understand, according to a series of theories before the nail rake, plus this, even if you have not been the leading actor, as long as you participate in this trip, he can sue you?" Senator McCarthy unfortunately died a little early, and if he had partnered with Larry Parry, I am afraid that Governor Reagan of California would have continued his acting career in prison......"
"This kind of neurotic appeal, how can the court really accept it?"
"Yes," Harry Remes was also frustrated, "The Sixth Circuit is a surprise......"
The circuit court is based in Cincinnati and administers over the four states of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee.
"Well, it's good that you're white, otherwise you'd probably go to the Fifth Circuit, it's not the worst......" Edward began to babble because he was running out of words.
The Fifth Circuit Court has jurisdiction over Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, which is more of a nico hunting ground than a circuit court......
The Sixth Circuit not only received the pleadings, but also ......
I plan to show "Deep Throat" in the courtroom!
This is the only chance for the people of Memphis to see the movie locally...... It's still free!
According to Remus, savvy locals crowded the auditorium early on, and even the president's pro-racism speech could not attract such a large audience.
"Hungry and thirsty people are terrible......" Edward wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the scene was indeed a little exciting.
"Even more laughable at the trial, my lawyer tried to subpoena Jack Nicholson and Warren Biddy to testify to show that the actors' influence on the film during the production and distribution was extremely limited. But it was rejected by Judge Wilford. ”
"Your lawyer is good, you have a sense of justice and brain......s," Edward exclaimed, Jack Nicholson's name he knew in his last life, and this year he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Easy Rider".
As for Warren Biddy, who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor in 67 with "Male and Female Thieves", Edward's understanding is that this person is probably the current Leonardo DiCaprio, who is very good at filming, but has a more "good" private life......
The two men were famous, righteous and influential, good witnesses to the accused, and well-known left-leaning liberals in the Screen Actors Guild.
If they come to court, they will inadvertently help Remus attract a lot of exposure and sympathy.
It turns out that it is useless to shake your wit in the face of absolute power.
The judge said no, but no.
The prosecution process was troublesome, because the little evidence that there was could not prove that Harry Remes had a close connection with the film's conspiracy, and most of this evidence took place before or after filming, which of course was normal, and the filming was completed in just one day.
In the face of this problem, the anti-pornography nail rake once again exerted its ingenuity.
In court, Larry Parry said that Harry Rems was involved in the massive conspiracy from January 1967 (more than a year before he was involved in the film) until May 1969, seven months after the end of the role.
The law provides that an accomplice involved in a conspiracy does not require constant involvement and that testimony relating to the commission of the crime at a certain stage of the conspiracy may be used to prosecute any accomplice, regardless of their role.
Larry Parry has no mins in that.
He told the jury: "Remus filmed him, got paid, and then he left the crew, didn't get involved in any other work, and he quit early." ”
Obviously, Larry Parry understands everything, but he just chose Harry Remus to be the chicken and kill the monkeys across the country.
"This guy was born in the Middle Ages and went to work in the Inquisition."
Harry Remes shook his head, "I'm out of luck this time. Larry Parry admits that, and it's actually working in my favor. Because my lawyer made me make a statement that in January 1986, before I took off my shorts in front of the camera, the law at that time did not consider Deep Throat to be pornographic. ”
"Oh, yes......" Edward was stunned for a moment, then agreed.
"Although 'Deep Throat' is unusually popular, according to the spirit of the previous ruling of the High Court, as long as;' On the whole, a social value that is compensable should be protected by the Constitution, unless'1 its tone is to provoke y, 2 it is injurious by contemporary social standards3, and there is absolutely no compensatory social value at all. Edward muttered to himself, "Theoretically, "Deep Throat" has some social value, such as some lines are funny, and at the same time, it also broadens the field of X-technology, which is considered scientific popularization to some extent? At least this film is better than similar films, and it is innovative enough in terms of techniques. ”
Edward thinks it's very funny, there are thousands of adult movies in the United States at the moment, and everything else is fine, so "Deep Throat" was pulled out and cut off, not because it is the most yellow, but because it is the most famous......
"But the Nail Rake used the Miller v. California precedent to convict me...... The verdict in that case took months after I finished filming...... Isn't that a joke? Larry Remus looked angry, but then calmed down.
Judge Wilford agreed, directing the jury that 'if a film that is sexually explicit and sexually descriptive is to be constitutionally protected, it must have 'serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific significance,'" he continued, "and it is clear that the dissemination of new verbal techniques is not scientific ......."
"My lawyer went out of his way to ask the judge to use the previous standard of expertise, not a precedent a few months after I took off my pants, and I think it was a good fit."
"Ahem......" Edward coughed strongly, he found that Harry Remus was a wonderful person, not well educated, probably because he felt that he did not have enough credits and simply went to the army, but this does not mean that he is stupid or does not work hard.
He's the kind of guy who is talented and smart but can't use his studies, and he often mixes well when he enters society.
At least, until he was raked by the "Tennessee Sweeping Nail Rake."
"Hey, Tennessee is such an amazing place, producing the worst corn whiskey, and their news is in awe of Mark Twain, and now in the field of justice, they are starting to catch up, I should really suggest to the school that Larry Parry and Judge Wilford be brought in to teach how to create justice, no, they should be invited to be justices!"
"I am so excited about Tennessee's judicial style......" Apparently, Harry Remes had also read Mark Twain's eloquent essay.
"Clam Clam" Edward showed his attitude with a hearty smile characteristic of the traverser, "I like you, really, and sympathize with your plight." I took the case. To tell you the truth, I'm very unhappy with the "slap in the face" bill. (The serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific abbreviation SLAPS can be explained by a slap in the face.) ps Now there seems to be another word PLAP, which also means face slapping, and it uses jb...... )
"Yes, that's why I came to ask for your help, because your defense in the I'm Curious case is truly amazing. I wondered if I could ...... with a similar strategy."
Edward immediately interrupted, "Impossible! ”
Harry Remus is a layman after all, smart but unaware of the subtleties of the law.
Edward patiently explained, "The 'I'm Curious' case, although it ended with permission to be played, doesn't make any sense to your case, because it just says that adult movies are allowed to be shown in adult theaters, but the justices affirmed that 'pornography is not protected by the First Amendment' and that the government has jurisdiction over it." There is no doubt about it. If we crash down this road again, we will only find death. ”
"No matter how you look at it, your work is really erotic, and you can admit it......"
Harry was a little worried: "So what to do?" ”
"Your case is tricky, but it's interesting, and I'd like to run into Justice Earl Warren again...... But I wonder how Judge Wilford had the face to try the law that took you off your pants for five months? Edward gestured for Harry Remus to be quiet.
He closed his eyes and didn't look at the file, the case was so interesting and outrageous!
The joint launch of a religiously mad prosecutor and a neurotic judge may be the most underworld verdict in the history of the United States' judicial history.
If a good person wants to defeat a bad person, then he must be more treacherous than a bad person.
Edward considers himself to be the best at treachery, lacking more morality than an old sow wearing a bra......
But in the face of such a combination of underworld neuropathy, it is really inexperienced, so I have to make a simple analogy, if you want to defeat neuropathy, then ...... Presumably to get yourself a cerebral thrombosis first?
At the very least, we need to understand the breadth of the mind of the mentally ill......
"I understand, the teacher who sweeps the yellow nail rake is really a surprise......" Rubbing his temples, he finally understood the other party's routine.
At the heart of the accusation is the "nationwide conspiracy to disseminate obscene material," which, according to the appeal, is still ongoing, as "Deep Throat" has been box office spree, and the "I'm Curious" case has opened the door to adult theaters.
Since this conspiracy is ongoing, it is natural not to shy away from the point when Harry Remes took off his pants.
To use an extreme analogy, even now nine justices have ruled that spreading pornography should be shot.
So since "Deep Throat" is still circulating (in the process of the conspiracy), even if it has been more than a year since Harry Remus took off his pants, he can still be escorted to the execution ground.
When he told Harry the inference, the other party applauded heartily: "Mr. Yang, you are amazing, you are completely right, in fact, Larry Parry simply said in an interview with reporters, 'As long as a person participates in a conspiracy, he should be responsible for all the consequences of the conspiracy until the conspiracy is over'. ”
After Harry Remes finished filming "Deep Throat", he once went to Europe to shoot some serious low-budget literary films, which was already famous, and it also showed that his acting skills were qualified, and at the moment he was saying these words with a Tennessee accent, slightly awkwardly, Edward already knew the specific demeanor and behavior of the yellow nail rake.
"Mr. Yang, what I would like to ask is, if, according to Larry Parry, the distributor of the film killed someone three years after the film was completed, would I, the star of the film, be found guilty?"
"Obviously, sir, you will be charged with 'As long as a person is involved in a conspiracy, he is responsible for all the consequences of the conspiracy until the conspiracy dies,'" Edward's Tennessee accent is quite the same thing.
"Clam clam clam" Edward's laughter infected each other, and the two laughed heartily together.
"Seriously, love Angeli!" Edward shook his head
"By the way, I once confronted Larry Parry in court, 'How can I get out of this conspiracy?' Guess how he answered? ”
"Anyway, I can't guess."
"He said, 'You have to take the initiative to thwart the plot to destroy it,' ......"
"Okay, I'm tired, let's destroy it" Edward instantly paralyzed "How can this thing be revealed?" This is this, the public screening itself is an open commercial behavior, how should this TMD be exposed? And as a natural person, you don't have the right to ban the screening of this film, except for the nine old immortals, no one has this right...... I don't think Larry Parry would have to rake all the copies with a nail rake with his own hands......"
"Okay, you leave the file here, I'll take a look at it, but there's one more thing you need to do." Edward pulled out a business card and said, "This is the contact information of the New York chapter of the ACLU, you better go there in person, tell them everything about your situation, and then apply to them for legal assistance." ”
"I understand...... Harry took the business card, "it's true that I don't have the money to pay for the lawyer's fees, that's why I found you as a legal aid firm, and when I saw the sign hanging behind the door, I was a little desperate......"
"Ahem, ahem, as a last resort," Edward coughed, "There are many benefits to having a hand with the ACLU, they have a huge power in the country, and recently the Dixie lords have started to get restless again...... Repeatedly challenged the federal government on pornography. And we can only be forced to fight, everyone wins and loses each other, so ...... They also want an opportunity to continue their attack to the south......"
"And your case, which seems to have many holes like a sieve, will certainly interest them. At the same time, you can tell the ACLU directly, I will do my best in this case, and I will not hesitate to use any means to pay any price! ”
If you really can't do it, you can only use Rushberg.
But this time is different, the case of "I'm Curious" was led by Rushberg, but this time he had to personally pick the lead, and Rustberg was at most as a consultant or a monster in the town to prevent the other party from being shameless.
The reason why he wanted to pick the lead in person was because Edward clearly felt that this case could not be fought in a proper manner.
Memphis dared to send the ragged indictment to the Sixth Circuit, and the court dared to follow the path and proceed.
Apparently there is no fear.
Since the opponent doesn't talk about martial arts, Edward doesn't mind teaching them a lesson, and by the way, he shows the world who is the father!
