Chapter 153 Trial Procedure

There was Bill McKennik at the dinner table, and the lawyers couldn't talk about the details of the Barn case. Wil Gardner actively talked with Bill McKennie, and the atmosphere was harmonious and might want to recruit business for the law firm.

"I will vote, as long as you reach a consensus with Yelemov and my lawyer."

Until Bill McKennik said goodbye, Song Ya didn't know what his purpose was to help Murdoch meet in this trip. She probably wanted to get a correct letter from her. In short, since it was speculated from the apocalypse that the Titanic project would not fail at least, there was no need to over-hide his attitude. "The key is to share the accounts. I think I am already qualified to be a member of Hollywood, right?"

I have produced the first and second of my life, cat and mouse games and some small productions. Next year, there will be Blade Warriors, Football Beauties, and Ap's main show to start painting. A+ film studio partners in previous years include Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Disney's Hollywood Pictures and DreamWorks. He will never allow himself to be slaughtered by Fox in this situation, and even take the opportunity to get more benefits from the other party.

Of course, it is also important to grasp the right degree. After all, Fox has a harsh Paramount guarantee, and it is not appropriate to ask for too much price.

"no problem."

Bill McKennik felt much more at ease, "I've been in Chicago these days."

"Okay, Yelemov will arrive in the evening."

I have to pay 60 million yuan in a short period of time, and I will keep the negotiations by myself and keep it safe. Anyway, Fox Pictures is easy to talk about now.

In addition, Goodman and Hamlin have to work on various cases of themselves and their family and the acquisition of Litman Publishing House, so they have to go to Los Angeles, so they can only let Yelemov bring people here.

Sloan has also confirmed with Murdoch's people to meet at a charity auction in New York next weekend.

"That won't bother."

Bill McKennik also knew why so many lawyers gathered in Highland Park. Before leaving, he asked Jordan's specific address in Highland Park and should want to visit him in person.

The aerial dunk starring Jordan started painting last month, with an estimated 80 million yuan in the world's box office of more than 200 million yuan. He also signed a contract with the Bulls for $30.14 million. In one year, the NBA specially designed to retain him is not included in the salary cap. What is the annual salary cap of a team in the NBA now? It only costs more than 20 million yuan!

"By the way, I'm going to help Jordan join the Madoff Fund!"

If Bill McKennik hadn't mentioned it, Song Ya would have almost forgot about the plastic brother who had reached the peak of his career.

"Jordan can join, the ceremony... depends on when everyone has time to get together. Many people leave Chicago for vacation at the end of the year."

He called the Chicago Treasurer who was in charge of the ceremony, and the other party said that Jordan had been approved by internal review, "You ask Jordan, I'll contact others."

“OK.”

Song Ya immediately called Jordan. Last time, this guy didn't respond to his support, and his relationship became weaker.

"The trial is in the Federal Court of South City, and the first trial will be held next month, that is, next January."

Finally, we can discuss the Bahn case with the lawyers. The Dream Lawyer Group will have to calculate the working hours when it comes to stay at its own house. It is reasonable to send it away as soon as possible.

"So fast?" Song Ya asked.

"This court date has no practical significance."

Wil Gardner, who is responsible for explaining the trial procedure, explained: "Now the case is in the pre-trial stage. In a few days, the judge will convene a pre-trial meeting between us and the prosecution to make a ruling on the application for excluding certain evidence or requiring the other party to present evidence and disputes between the two parties. Therefore, as long as we and the prosecution have a dispute over the evidence and the judge cannot determine it for a short time, the trial date will be postponed until an agreement is reached."

"We will question the prosecutor's large amount of evidence that violates procedural justice," Diane Lockhard added.

Song Ya nodded, "I understand."

For example, in the Simpson case, the Los Angeles police detective collecting evidence alone at the crime scene was an obvious violation of procedural justice. However, in fact, law enforcement agencies handle cases, especially front-line law enforcement personnel do not strictly follow procedures when collecting evidence. In other words, the complex legal system of the United States and the cross-enforcement power of various power departments make it too time-consuming and labor-intensive to complete it step by step, the budget is limited, the personnel is limited, and there are also reasons for the lack of quality of front-line police officers.

I have to not want to, but I really can't.

This kind of procedural hidden danger will not have any problems when facing the poor. Cassiti's father beat up the street sack and then took it back to the police station to record his confession, and then casually used Baoli Pin as physical evidence to sentence it. However, when facing the rich and the lawyers of rich people, this behavior is very loopholes and causes trouble for himself.

The special prosecutor in the Bahn case has great power, but that three-person group cannot do all the work. It also needs to use a large amount of evidence obtained by local law enforcement departments to support the prosecution, state police, municipal police, import and export management departments... The Fantasy Lawyer Group will not let go of every place where you can make a fuss. They have long sent their lawyers, investigators, etc. to collect evidence that violates procedural justice.

It is very expensive for law enforcement agencies to think that every procedure is perfect. They have a fixed annual budget and may not be able to fight with the rich. For example, in the MJ case, in order to maintain the two local grand juries, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara County burned millions of public funds, so the congressmen and voters stopped doing it. In the end, they had to hurriedly announce that they would not prosecute and disband.

Song Ya knew that she had much greater advantages than MJ and Simpson, and her relationship with the local law enforcement agencies was incomparable to the light of the two black people. Illinois, Cook County and Chicago politicians are secretly defending themselves. They are currently very perfunctory towards the special prosecutors and will not cooperate without forcibly using federal power to promote them.

That's why the special prosecutor recruited Charles, who had served as the Cook County State Attorney, which was a clever move, otherwise he would have had a harder step.

"We can also know what cards the Special Attorney has in his hands at the pretrial meeting," Cochran said.

In many legal dramas, there are often lawyers and prosecutors who invite new witnesses or present new evidence in court to make a big comeback. This is not realistic. All witnesses and evidence have been determined in advance at the pre-trial meeting. That is to say, when the other party really enters the court defense stage, both the prosecutor and the defense know each other well.

It is not entirely true that such a situation occurs, but if one party presents new evidence in court, the judge will ask for a re-determining whether it is accepted even if it does not refuse. It either adjourns the court, or convenes the prosecution and defense to discuss, and go through the procedure again, the process will become very boring and lose its dramatic effect.

"When will the pre-trial meeting be held?" Song Ya asked: "Do I need to attend?"

"In the middle of the month, you don't need to attend," Goodman replied.

“OK.”

Everyone was having a very serious discussion, and suddenly there was a noise outside, mixed with the loud voices of Connie and Aunt Susie, "Haha, Tony should be fine." Song Ya sounded like they were in a high mood, so she stood up with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay... everyone is fine!"

Not only was his emotions high, but he also sang and danced. Tony and Connie brothers and sisters hummed and twisted their big butts and walked in. Aunt Susie, who was holding little Freddy, followed behind and scolded her daughter with her voice: "Next time I will cause trouble, I won't beat you Bichi to death! Instigate my brother to beat someone and grab a car? One day everyone will be killed by you!"

However, the joy on her face betrayed her and she just cursed her. She was still very happy that her own children were fine.

Tony's friends and followers who appeared in court at the same time simply formed a circle at the door, clapped their hands and beat them, and danced the original African wind.

"I know, I know, am I annoyed!? Isn't this done?"

Connie said unconvincedly: "Besides, I gave the car to me, I just asked Tony to drive it back."

"Hey!"

Tony hugged with the silencer, fisted, and then hugged Song Ya again.

"What's the result?" Song Ya asked.

"I was probation, community service, and so were the others, only one person was sentenced to nine months," Tony replied.

"who?"

Tony reported his follower's name, he should have voluntarily stepped forward.

"That kid took the main responsibility."

Hamlin, who was acting in the case, helped explain the specific process. Tony's follower charged with the main plot of beating and robbing the car, so the others were given probation.

"I will take good care of him when he comes out," Tony said.

"Is it decided to draw lots?" Song Ya asked him.

"Yeah." Tony lowered his head a little embarrassedly, probably remembering the fact that he had drawn lots to help Xiao Luori take the blame.

"Okay, I'll have a good brain before doing something next time."

Song Ya looked at his friends and followers outside, probably seeing this kind of thing a lot, and showed no displeasure. They talked about how to welcome the good brothers out of prison, what celebrations to prepare, etc.
