101. I will stand in the dock with you (please subscribe!) )
Early the next morning, Hawke got up.
Because today is his first official date with Gwen.
So Hawke got up early and unpacked a suit from the closet that had just been sent from Paris a few days ago, which was tailored to his body a few days ago.
Handsome.
Handsome.
Cool.
Hawke stroked his hair, looked at himself in the mirror, raised an eyebrow, and turned to leave the bathroom.
Downstairs.
"Huh."
Hawke looked at Lorna, who had already gone downstairs and sat in the living room, blinked, looked at the time on his watch, and asked with some magic: "Today is the weekend, and under normal circumstances, don't you always sleep until twelve o'clock?" ”
Lorna, who was drinking her freshly heated milk, rolled her eyes when she heard this: "What day did I sleep until twelve o'clock?" ”
Hawke tilted his head, looked at Lorna, and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lorna rolled her eyes again: "I made an appointment with Zuo Yin, Lauren, and Emilia to go to the port of Manhattan together later." ”
Hawke walked over to the dining room and pulled out his chair: "Manhattan Harbor?" What are you doing there? ”
Lorna shrugged: "There's a flea market over there today, we're going to check it out." ”
Hawke sighed.
"What about you?"
"What?"
Lorna looked at Hawke's dress, a little suspicious, and whispered, "Got a job?" ”
Hawke shook his head: "No, something else. ”
He didn't dare to tell Lorna that he was going on a date with Gwen today, what if Lorna found out and quietly ran away to wreak havoc?
Half an hour later.
Lorna was the first to leave, telling Hawke to clean up the table before leaving the house in her yellow Chevrolet.
Hawk cleaned the dining table, waited for about ten minutes, then walked to the garage, pulled out his silver Audi A8, sat on it, drove out of the garage, ready to pick up Gwen, and then went to today's destination.
An ice rink at Rockefeller Center.
In November, ice skating.
It's a good match.
The most important point.
In the ice rink, there can be a great hand-holding hand.
By the time Hawk drove downstairs to Gwen's apartment, he almost hit George.
George also seemed to have just gone out, and after kissing Helen, he turned around, got into Beckett's car, who was also waiting at the door, and left.
Hawke looked at the vehicle from which Beckett was carrying George from afar, and touched his chin.
In other words, when he went out this morning, he found something.
These days, around him, from the New York Police Department, there is a 95% probability that even the eyeliner arranged by George seems to be gone.
It seems that overnight, it was directly removed by George.
So......
Is this a confession, or is there some kind of trick you want to play?
Hawke blinked, thinking to himself.
That's when it happened.
Hawke came back to his senses and looked at the man standing downstairs in his apartment.
into the eyes.
Gwen, who was standing on the side of the road, waved to herself from afar, wearing a white coat, and was particularly eye-catching today.
Hawk looked at the vehicle that had gone away, re-released the brakes, and drove the vehicle over.
By the time the Audi A8 had just stopped under the apartment building, Gwen had already opened the passenger door and sat in the car.
Hawke looked at Gwen as she got into the car and smiled slightly.
"Early."
"Good morning."
After Gwen got into the car, she naturally leaned over, kissed Hawke, and then pulled her seat belt on herself, and said, "When I received your message, I thought you were going to collide with Dad." ”
Hawk smiled and started the car: "Why is George up late today?" ”
It's almost eight o'clock now, and according to the past, at six o'clock, George has already left the police station on time to go to work, a suitable worker.
"You forgot, Dad is going to the courthouse today."
Gwen pulled her hair: "Zach Stanley's eucalyptus?" ”
Hawke raised his eyebrows: "I didn't pay much attention to the news. ”
He has never been interested in this kind of news that has nothing to do with his own studies and making money, and if Gwen hadn't talked about it from time to time these days, Hawke would have almost forgotten that today was the day of Zach Stanley's final court sentence.
But......
"That's fast."
Hawke said with some curiosity: "I thought that at the very least, it would take more than a month for the verdict to be announced." ”
More than a month, it is already a conservative estimate.
If there is a strong team of lawyers, even if you kill someone in public, they have a way to drag this eucalyptus for a few years.
Now?
It's only been a week since the verdict was pronounced, and this speed is simply the speed of light.
Gwen shrugged and said, "I don't know, but it's a good thing, pronounce the sentence early, let the criminal get the ending he deserves, and it's also the best comfort for the victim, isn't it." ”
Hawke nodded, "Yes." ”
That's why he loves Gwen.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a very positive outlook.
Soon.
Hawke drove Gwen to Manhattan, which occupies three streets, from Fifth Avenue to Seventh Avenue, just two blocks from the Stark Industrial Building, and has 70 floors and a height of 260 meters.
Rockefeller's ice rink was outside, and by the time Hawk and Gwen arrived, there were already quite a few people in the rink.
At first glance, almost all of them are couples.
It looks very loving.
If a few black spots can be removed, there is no doubt that it will be a great place to go on a date.
Gwen was the first to put on her shoes, stood up, slid a step, and spun in front of Hawke, her jeans flattering Gwen's perfect legs: "What are you looking at." ”
Hawke smiled and raised his chin towards the courthouse across the road: "George should be in the courthouse opposite." ”
Gwen followed Hawke's gaze and nodded, "yes, do you want to go in and listen?" ”
After speaking.
Gwen blinked, smiled at Hawke, and said, "I can call Daddy and ask Daddy to come out and pick us up." ”
Hawke laughed, got up, moved his feet, hugged Gwen, and smiled: "Forget it, I'm afraid that George will send me to the dock." ”
"No, it won't."
Gwen smiled brightly and said, "If this happens, I will stand with you." ”
The corners of Hawke's mouth went up.
"Okay."
"Let's go, let's skate."
"Hmm."
Hawk nodded, and then, with a grunt, Gwen slid straight from the sidelines to the middle of the field, holding hands, and joined the lineup of couple skating.
While Hawke and Gwen were on a romantic date, George, who was in the courthouse across the street, was also on his romantic date with the criminal.
But......
George listened to the news that Beckett had just inquired about, and frowned: "What do you say, Zach Stanley fired his lawyer team?" ”
Baker nodded: "yes, just now." ”
George couldn't help frowning: "Zach Stanley won't think that today's verdict can be postponed by firing the lawyers' team." ”
Today is the day of the verdict, and it is no longer the day of the trial.
If, on the day of the trial, the defendant loses a lawyer, there is a possibility that the case will be postponed.
But for now?
This is simply impossible, after all, due to the peculiarities of Zach Stanley's identity, the jury formed for this eucalyptus has been in the courthouse for five days.
This is the district prosecutor's request to the court to close the jury on the basis that Zack Stanley is a wealthy man, in order to prevent Zack Stanley from using off-the-counter tactics against jury members.
The purpose is to prevent Zach Stanley from using money to bribe the jury and thus interfere with the final trial.
Therefore, even if the judge expressed his willingness to postpone the trial of the eucalyptus, the jury, which had been closed for five days, would never agree.
Zach Stanley's eucalyptus, must be sentenced today.
Beckett, who was sitting in the spectator seat with George, lowered his voice, looked at the members of the district prosecutor who were entering the venue one after another, and other bystanders said: "I heard from friends in the court that Zach Stanley felt that this was already the day of the verdict, and that he no longer needed the lawyer's team, and he planned to save money, so he dismissed the lawyer's team." ”
After all, the lawyer team hired by Zach Stanley is quite expensive for a day.
In just five days, Zach Stanley has paid more than $2 million for the lawyers.
It's just that......
George continued to frown, listening to Beckett's words, a sense of absurdity and wonder came to his mind.
Just to save money, you dismissed the lawyers?
Boy.
You're a billionaire, so you're the one who picks the door.
Although Zack Stanley now has a eucalyptus with him, it is still the same sentence, which does not affect Zack Stanney's inheritance of Obadia Stani in the slightest, especially yesterday, after paying the inheritance tax to the IRS as quickly as possible, Zack Stanley's net worth skyrocketed.
George shook his head, just as he was about to say something.
The judge came in.
George hurriedly shut down and looked at the judge who walked up to the bench, and Beckett next to him, as well as Zack Stanley, who was in a suit and leather shoes in the plaintiff's dock in front of him, and stood up in a suit and leather shoes in the defendant's dock, showing his respect for the judge who had just entered.
As the judge took his seat, everyone sat down one after another.
As the judge dropped the hammer, the district prosecutor indicted Zach Stanley on charges of "intentional homicide" and "murder for hire", and asked for a life sentence for him.
Because Zach Stanley dismissed his lawyer team on the last day, there was no delay in the lawyer's team, and the time was greatly reduced.
After the district attorney summed up the case with the jury, the jury quickly got up and went to the back to discuss the final result after Zach Stanley said he had given up the last chance to tell the case.
Eleven a.m.
Three hours before the court session.
The jury is back!
