Chapter 117 You must go to jail!
August 23, 1999, Palek Private Hospital, New York. (Reading novels)
”Do you want me to hit you?” Wang Yang's voice was cold, panting slightly, his eyes full of unprecedented anger. The opposite Cole shrugged and smiled: ”Come on” Wang Yang sneered. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the telephoto camera in Cole's hand, hitting the ground with all his strength, and then punched furiously. Waving through the night: ”Go to die”
Peng slammed his fist **** Cole's cheek, a tooth fell from Cole's twisted mouth and flew out
March 31, 2001, New York State Supreme Court.
The small court is full of seats. There are many reporters without cameras in the auditorium, as well as fans of the fans who come to support. If the court is not limited and the rules are serious, I am afraid that this place will be full of people. Between the positions of bodyguards, assistants, etc., Jessica, dressed in ordinary clothes, covered her face with piety, holding her hands in silent prayer for the beloved.
The old judge Kent Maranlo, dressed in a black suit and white hair with a meticulous scrutiny on the bench, had a calm expression, which made people unable to see his mind. He looked at the case information on the table, from the first hearing to Now that a ruling is to be made, he already has a set of judgments in mind. He looked up at Wang Yang, who was silent and natural, and Cole Langston, who adjusted the sitting position on the other side from time to time, and said, ”Please ask the prosecutor and the defense to make a final closing statement.”
Bill Cole, the litigation lawyer representing Cole, stood up. He twisted his tie. While walking out, he said, ”A year and a half ago, in this city, a very common violence happened. In the incident, a man brutally attacked an innocent person. The case was originally very simple, and it was enough to send the man directly to prison. But the identity of the perpetrator made this case unresolved until now. ”
Billy McCroe walked to the jury's court, looked at the jury members with different expressions, pointed to Wang Yang, frowned and said in a deep voice: ”I have heard enough to say 'He saved a little boy Girl's, yes, that's the fact, it's commendable, but then, he beat someone, which is also the fact that he saved a little girl and did the right thing, but it doesn't mean he has a 'free The quota for doing a bad thing is legally. We are talking about the part of him doing bad things. We ca n’t simply say that “correct the mistakes” to save people. Many doctors have beaten and killed people, and the doctor will be punished. . ”
”So why can he escape the sanctions of the law?” Billy McLaugh stunned and walked quickly to the judges, looking at the calm Kent Maranlo, and said quickly: ”Just because he is an excellent Director? Because he is a billionaire? Because he is young? So can he get special treatment? Ability to escape impunity? ”
The members of the jury frowned and thought; Jessica clenched her teeth tightly, scolding ”He is confusing black and white” in her heart, and her eyes followed Billy McCroe to the defense. I saw him looking at Wang Yang, shaking his head and sighing: ”There is no doubt that this young man has outstanding achievements in certain aspects, but in front of the law and this case, those who are not looking at him, what he is like now Attitude? I did n’t see any confession in him, he was even proud of his violence ”
Defense attorney Vincent Grant took a deep breath. This opponent is very smart and knows how to mobilize the emotions of judges and jurors. He also knows that if they are allowed to have the idea of ”I can't help the dignitaries”. However, the disadvantages of equal-level opponents and evidence witnesses are not the places where he and Wang Yang have a headache. It is Wang Yang ’s attitude.
At the beginning, he had proposed out of court settlements, but his client vetoed without hesitation; at the stage of the trial, he also suggested, requested, and persuaded his client to show the judge a kind of ”knowledge, error, The sympathetic attitude of “should not hit anyone casually”, before the court today, he also repeatedly reminded: “Yang, your attitude directly affects the outcome of this case and makes you haggard, regret, do n’t be so tough.” But he still did not cooperate, Now the other party has seized this critical point to attack.
Looking at the silent Wang Yang next to him, Vinson Grant sighed in his heart. It was a stubborn guy who saw Billy Macro where he had finished speaking. Vincent Grant reminded the last time to place a spot on the table. A piece of paper with ”Attitude (h)” written on it, and he got up and said: ”My client is indeed an outstanding young man, but I want to remind everyone that there is not only good” special treatment ”but also bad . ”
He spread his hand and came to the jury table and asked: ”Because he is a social celebrity, he should get a particularly severe discrimination? Can he completely obliterate his good side?” The jurors suddenly Looking at each other, he continued: ”Everyone knows that my client is passionate about charity, he has donated to the Child Protection Foundation, 5 million; donated to the Youth Protection Foundation, 10 million, women and children help center, 10 million.”
Vincent Grant walked to the bench and looked at the old judge with excitement: ”I said this, I just want to say that he is not a brutal and unreasonable person, not the contrary, he is a person with a sense of justice and caring.” Jessica nodded silently all the time, Vincent Grant said: ”He started fighting Mr. Langston because he was angry; he was angry because he was saving people, doing the right and great things, But Mr. Langston did the destruction. This is a complete incident. We have said enough about this. ”
He exhaled with an open hand and slowly calmed down, summing up: ”The law is used to punish the bad guys. If it is guilty because of the outrageous anger that hit a bad guy who hinders the rescue of people? What is this? Sin? ”He looked at the jurors, the old judge, and said with a confused face:” What is this sin? Justice has wrong sins? Saving people has wrong sins? ”After a long time, he nodded:” Lord Judge and everyone, I'm done. ”He said, he walked back to the defense table.
Kent Maranlo ’s expression remained unchanged. He looked at the case information and made some considerations before looking at Wang Yang, who was not far away. He said: ”Young man, we have seen this in more than a year. Many times, I know your thing very well. You are indeed an excellent young man, but each case has its independence, and it faces you on August 23, 1999. If you are asked to return Will you still fight Mr. Cole Langston on that day? ”
”Please, Jan,” Vinson Grant yelled in his heart, kicking Wang Yang's foot gently with his feet. This answer is very important. Be sure to listen to the seat with regret for your loss of control, Jessica With his mouth tightly pressed, he hopes that he will do what the lawyer said, and feels wronged and uncomfortable for him; and the fans all think that the magical Yang can be cool, do n’t be soft
Wang Yang stood up slowly, without looking at Cole over there, looking directly at the judge, saying, ”Yes, I will.”
Vincent Grant suddenly closed his eyes helplessly and was about to mess up; Jessica's heart seemed to be stabbed, but he was relieved again, Yang, why are you so cool ... Fans clenched their fists secretly, reporters An expression of ”there is a good show”, they all took out pens to record the words of Miracle Yang; Cole and Billy-McRoo were secretly somewhat happy.
”Do you think you are completely correct in this matter?” Kent Maranlo frowned slightly, and his voice became serious. ”If no security guard pulled you away, what would you do? Continue to fight ? Beat the prosecutor seriously? Or take his life directly? ”
Wang Yang shook his head and said, ”No, I wouldn't do that.” But Cole would break his arms and apply a few months of plaster. He remembered the scene that day. Cole's ugly face was vivid in his eyes. Want to compromise with this scum? He never looked at the judge and said sincerely: ”I did not say that I am completely correct, but I do not regret the choice I made. Beating is a bad behavior, but facing some people, some At times, you have to shoot. ”
”It's not the law.” He shrugged, and then looked at Cole over there, disgusted: ”Yes, you have to do it, you have to do it, or you'll be a coward all your life. When you are old, You will think, 'Why didn't I shoot at that time? Beat the **** well?' But you won't have this opportunity anymore, you can only go to heaven with this regret ... ”
Enough is enough. Wang Yang took a few deep breaths and swallowed back his remaining words, saying: ”I'm done.”
There was no expression on Kent Maranlo ’s old face. He picked up the wooden hammer and knocked, said: ”Adjournment, the sentence will be announced in fifteen minutes.” The members also got up and followed.
There was a buzzing chat in the courtroom. The fans were very excited about what Yang had just said. The reporters also knew that they had earned it; but Vincent Grant was dissatisfied and looked at Wang Yang. ”Yang, you are here What do you do? Those words and attitudes will have very serious consequences, ”Wang Yang said calmly.” Sorry, I just said what I wanted to say. ”
Very serious consequences? Shouldn't you get on the electric chair, go to jail? Wang Yang smiled, maybe he was too naive, but it was worth it. But ... he looked back to the auditorium and saw that Jessica's smile was far-fetched and full of visible worries. Wang Yang gave a thumbs-up comfortingly, and was very upset. If he was convicted, even if he was sentenced to community service, his parents, Jessica, and everyone who cared about him would be uncomfortable. Unwilling to see.
