The United States has a jury system to limit judges from abuse of power and to ensure that suspects receive a fair trial.

However, in IRS court, there is no jury because the IRS is guaranteed unlimited powers.

So, after a brief synthesis of the situation, Chiesa stood up.

And the people who were invited to observe the scene also stood up in unison.

Chiesa pronounced the verdict: "The defendant Dieter, convicted of attempted assault on IRS personnel, convicted of absconding in fear of crime, convicted of tax evasion, and the amount of money is huge, and is now sentenced to confiscation of all funds to the tax treasury, and another sentence of 1,000 years in prison without parole!" ”

As soon as this verdict came out, most of the people at the scene showed a look of shock on their faces, especially the Indians who were invited to come by Gal.

They knew that Dieter might be sentenced to capital punishment and probably couldn't get out of this life, but they didn't expect to be sentenced to 1,000 years in prison.

How long the can this live alone?

100-year-old survived, right?

And now he has been sentenced to 1,000 years, which is not enough for this prison even if he has 10 lives.

And here, William, Arabella, and even David and other IRS people didn't have too surprised expressions.

A sentence of thousands of years in prison may seem outrageous in other countries, but it is a normal thing in the United States.

Not to mention thousands of years, even if it is a criminal who has been sentenced to tens of thousands of years in prison, it is not unprecedented.

The reason is simple, because the United States has a 'conjugal law'.

As the name suggests, once a suspect is sentenced, the sentences obtained for the crimes can be cumulatively stacked.

As for how many years it will add, it is basically up to the judge's will.

There may be a lot of people here who will ask.

At best, people only live for 100 years, and they are sentenced to 1,000 years, isn't this an extra move to attract people's attention?

This is not the case.

The deterrent effect refers to the fear and vigilance of potential offenders by giving severe punishments to criminals, so as to avoid crime or reduce crime, and the purpose of this is to maintain social order and safety!

And the purpose of the IRS to continue to use such a penalty is also for this purpose, in order to deter those who dare to oppose the IRS, so that they can understand that if they dare to evade taxes, or dare to oppose them, the IRS will definitely let them sit in prison!

"No, 1000 years, is this a joke, I don't accept the verdict, I'm going to appeal!!"

Here, Dieter was also stunned for a long time after hearing that he had been sentenced to 1,000 years, and only now did he react and roared wildly.

And Taryn couldn't sit still, so he stood up directly and retorted: "Your Excellency, isn't the sentence of 1,000 years too heavy, even if the Ministry of Justice is targeting heinous criminals, it is difficult to use such a punishment, right?" ”

Chiesa glanced at him and replied disdainfully: "You have to find out, this court is not subordinate to the Ministry of Justice, and Dieter is suspected of tax evasion and assassination of IRS personnel, which is more serious than heinousness, right?" ”

"This ......"

Taryn choked on again.

Yes, this is an IRS courtroom, and people don't have to look at the face of the Department of Justice.

Dieter did indeed violate the IRS's rebellion, and it seems reasonable to be sentenced to such a capital punishment.

"I am not satisfied, I am sentenced to 1000 years, this is simply an abuse of private messages, I ask for an appeal, I ask for an appeal to the Supreme Court of Washington ......"

Looking at Dieter, who was still dying, Chiesa waved impatiently to the inspectors and motioned for the inspectors to drag him down.

As Dieter was dragged down, the courtroom remained silent again.

But if anyone notices the Judgment Bench, they will find that Twin and Virginia are not only pale, but their legs are also shaking.

Now Dieter's sentence has come out, which is 1,000 years in prison.

And how light can the two of them be?

Thinking of the next punishment, both of them were a little broken in their hearts.

Regardless of what they were thinking, Chiesa on the stage continued to pronounce the verdict: "The defendant Twin, convicted of armed confrontation with the IRS, convicted of harboring, and convicted of tax evasion, forgive the crime and punishment, and be sentenced to 1,000 years in prison without parole!" ”

As soon as the result of this penalty came out, many people at the scene gasped again.

At this time, Gal and the others, who were invited to come, were secretly glad that they saw the wind and steered quickly yesterday, and immediately surrendered to the IRS.

Otherwise, once the confrontation continues, it is not clear that they are the ones who will be put on trial today, and they will be the ones who will be sentenced to 1,000 years in prison!

On the side of the judgment seat, Twen, who was already on the verge of collapse, heard that he had also been sentenced to 1,000 years, and the whole person seemed to have been immobilized, staring blankly at the front with blank eyes.

It wasn't until about 30 seconds later that he suddenly came back to his senses, and like Dieter just now, he let out an unwilling roar: "I don't accept it, although I armed the youth of the tribe, but I didn't cause any casualties to the IRS, why should I be sentenced to 1,000 years!" ”

Chiesa still gave him a disdainful look and responded, "You don't have to cause real damage to the IRS, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as 1,000 years!" ”

"You ......"

Twin was so angry that he smoked, and then he suddenly turned his head and seemed to be looking for someone in the room, and finally turned his eyes to Strong's body, and shouted: "Congressman Strong, this is an unfair sentence, I can't accept it, as a member of the Congress, do you just watch this IRS judge abuse me like this?" ”

Strong, who was named, was startled, and his heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses.

He was now afraid that David and the IRS would find out about him, and this damn Twin would be better to name him in public.

Is this for fear that others will not know about his relationship with the Indian tribe?

Looking at everyone's strange eyes, Strong was angry and anxious, and immediately retorted: "Although I am a member of the parliament, I am not in charge of judicial matters, and now I am in court, and I have no right to intervene!" ”

What he meant by this was that you should stop being forced and be honestly judged!

As soon as he heard this, Twin became anxious, and roared again: "Strong, you have taken so many benefits from our tribe, and now you can't save you from death, I want to report it, and he has also evaded taxes!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Strong almost had a heart attack, and hurriedly retorted loudly: "Twin, I warn you not to talk nonsense, I didn't take any benefit from your tribe, you are framed!" ”

"Twin, don't talk nonsense and slander Councilor Strong, Councilor Strong has only visited our tribe a few times, and we gave him a little bacon, tea and other local products, this is hospitality, what kind of benefit is it?"

Gal couldn't sit still either, and stood up and explained.

Now that the Twin father and son were in the house, and Strong was still a councilor after all, he didn't need to offend the councilor for a few people who couldn't be saved.

"That's right, that's it!"

Gal's explanation finally relieved Strong, who was angry and anxious in his heart.

Fortunately, there were no media reporters here.

Either City Hall, City Council, or some well-known person in Las Vegas can handle it with his connections.

If the media were here, with their ability to exaggerate the facts, he would be out of luck.

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

Seeing that the scene was noisy, Chiesa on the stage immediately struck the gavel again.

In order to prevent the scene from becoming more and more chaotic, he hurriedly instructed the inspectors to drag Twen down, and the scene returned to tranquility.

Chiesa pronounced the verdict again: "The defendant Virginia, convicted of attempted assault on IRS personnel, convicted of absconding in fear of crime, and convicted of tax evasion, is now sentenced to 800 years in prison without parole!" ”

With the first two 1,000-year sentences in place, not many people are surprised by the 800-year sentence this time.

As for Virginia, although she was pale after hearing this sentence, she also knew that in the courts of the IRS and under the judges, no matter how much she protested, it was useless, and she could only be regarded as a dead face.

Chiesa looked at the last Iman and pronounced the verdict: "The defendant Iman, convicted of attempted assault on IRS personnel and tax evasion, but is now sentenced to 7 years in prison for cooperating with the IRS for reporting meritorious service!" ”

"As for the few witnesses, because they are extremely cooperative with the IRS in handling the case, they will not be prosecuted!"

The front were 1000, 1000, and 800 years, and suddenly I heard a penalty that was only 7 years old, and such a huge sense of gap also made many people at the scene stunned.

But they soon figured out that this Iman must have reached an agreement with the IRS in advance when he reported it, so that he could be sentenced so lightly.

As a result, this also made many people present secretly make a decision in their hearts.

That is, if they are targeted by the IRS one day, they must actively cooperate so that they can get the lightest punishment!

On the judgment seat, when he heard that his sentence was only seven years, as promised, Iman cast a grateful look at David.

And on the witness stand, Baldwin and the other three were the same.

It stands to reason that David is forcing them to pay taxes and threatening them to testify against Dieter, and they should hate David.

But after seeing Dieter and Virginia sentenced to 1,000 and 800 years respectively, they suddenly felt extremely happy.

Glad they came forward to testify against Dieter, and glad that David gave them the opportunity to make this innocence agreement, otherwise, their fate is probably not much better than that of these two fathers and sons!

"Alright, this trial is over!"

As Chiesa's words fell, the people invited to the scene got up and left with a look of apprehension.

Arabella, William, and David, the IRS, stepped forward to shake Judge Chiesa's hand one by one, and greeted the success of the trial.

Afterwards, Arabella approached David and asked, "Tax Collector, David, may I ask you one thing?" ”

"What's the matter, Chief Arabella."

Arabella lowered her voice and asked, "Have you investigated Congressman Strong?" ”

In the hall on the first floor before, he felt a little tired from the conversation between David and Strong, but he didn't dare to confirm it too much.

And just now, Tewyn's public demolition, although Gal stood up to explain, he still keenly felt that this Strong may really be a little tired!

"That's a member of the parliament, how dare I investigate casually, but if you give it your permission, then I can give it a try......"

Still not understanding what the city chief in front of him meant, of course David didn't dare to say that he had Strong's tax evasion information or anything.

After all, the Congressman is no match for Gray, or Dieter, or even the little shrimp of the Omahas.

Their political energy, as well as the group forces involved behind them, are very large existences.

David is still just a tax collector and can't do anything too risky unless someone endorses him!

Arabella pondered for a while, then replied with a smile: "It's just a curiosity to ask, although the trial is over, I think you still have a lot of work to deal with, so go back first!" ”

David understood what the city chief meant, and didn't talk too much nonsense, and turned around and left.

He does have a lot of things to deal with when he goes back, for example, now that the case has been closed, it's time for the tax to be put into the treasury!

Thank you for the reward of the old brother who is destined to be in Fodu!!
