The judge rolled his eyes at the arguing parties, got up and left through the narrow door behind his seat.

"It's already the second best result, APLUS."

After paying the bail, they regained their freedom and no longer had to be escorted, and the group drove back to the police station to go through the formalities, Cochran said to Song Ya, who was retrieving his watch and gold chain from his personal belongings bag and wearing it.

"I spent a lot of money to hire you three law firms, and what I want to hear is not the second best M-fxxk."

Song Ya cleaned herself up and complained in a calm but temperamental tone, "If I don't get the most satisfactory verdict, then what's the point of asking you top lawyers to help?" ”

“Come on！ APLUS, we also don't have full control over the judges, who are only banned from leaving the country for suspected illegal transactions with foreign companies, and the judges are already very accommodating. ”

Will Gardner said, spreading his hands.

"Mike, Sloan, let's go."

He stayed in the iron cage for more than two hours, Song Ya was satisfied, but it would be better if he was not forbidden to go abroad, he didn't argue with Will, and asked Old Michael to lead himself and Sloan out of the police station.

In fact, he also knows the truth, as the elite of the elite, judges are very clear and firm in their way of looking at things, their concepts and political tendencies, and they will often act according to their personal likes and dislikes when judging.

For example, in the case of a Korean shopkeeper in Los Angeles in 92, a Korean supermarket female owner shot and killed a black girl who stole and hit someone, and was obviously convicted of murder by a jury, but the judge at the time only gave a suspended sentence plus a fine and a sentence of community service, which caused the black community to be extremely dissatisfied and became one of the major triggers of the later Los Angeles incident.

But at the same time, these judges are very good at using the rules, and will never admit to substituting their personal feelings in court.

Juries are made up of low-quality citizens, and now is no longer the time when elites are happy to participate in legal affairs, jury duty is time-consuming, stressful, and low-pay, and the elite who have the slightest means will use various ways to evade, resulting in most of the jury seats sitting on the mobs who like to act on intuition and emotion, and do not have the ability to discern.

In order to get home as soon as possible, most members of the jury will form an internal consensus as soon as possible, and they will not bother to immerse themselves in studying the boring and professional evidence and thinking about the case itself.

Both of these methods of adjudication in the law of the sea system are highly uncertain, and on the one hand, lawyers are given the space to win over judges through social status and social networks, and on the other hand, to guide jury members through speech, argumentation skills, and even moving lyricism. The more famous and powerful the lawyer, the easier it is to win.

On the other hand, even barristers often do not dare to gamble on the outcome of a case and the future of their personal reputation on the two great uncertainties of the judge and the jury, preferring to make a deal with a more rational prosecution.

The same goes for the prosecution, so most cases are actually settled through plea bargains.

A criminal accused of homicide may not have sufficient evidence in his hands, and the defense and the defendant are afraid of accidents when they are handed over to the jury to determine whether they are guilty, so there is a high probability that both parties will reach an acceptable deal before the verdict.

It is not uncommon to see a murder suspect receive a much lighter sentence than a murder crime, and if the suspect is wronged, then even if he serves a day in prison, it is unjustly imprisoned, and if the suspect is the real murderer, it is difficult for the victim and the victim's family to accept this result emotionally.

But the result of the entire legal system is that the wronged suspect has a nervous breakdown before the pressure of harsher sentencing, agrees to the lawyer's bargain offer, and admits bad luck to serve his sentence. The victim's family did not want to risk being implied by the other party in the face of the real murderer, so they had to accept a sentence that was far less severe than the murder.

So on the surface, most people are actually satisfied with the final result, and it has to be said that the subtlety of the rules has to be said.

"You have to trust us, APLUS, or we won't be able to help you."

Song Ya walked at a big pace, and the barristers trotted to follow, Diane Lockhard said.

"I will, but you have to do better, this case is fame and fortune for each of you, except me."

Song Ya replied.

"Where are you going? Wait! APLUS！ ”

Diane Lockhard shouted, and Song Ya had to stop.

"It's just starting now, and you can't be so impatient after the first fight."

Diane Lockhard said solemnly, "You have to trust us professionals, otherwise the whole team of lawyers will have internal inconsistencies in the next jurisdictional lawsuit." ”

"What do you mean?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"You also know that we are three law firms, APLUS." Diane Lockhard said: "Who do you listen to when we have internal disagreements about how to respond to cases? ”

"Goodman will communicate my final decision." Song Ya pointed to Goodman, who was most trusted.

"So in a lawsuit so important to you, we top lawyers have to finally listen to the decision of a young man who hasn't gone to law school yet?"

Will Gardner was always unkind and aggressive, he sneered.

It seems that there is already a conflict between the three law firms, Song Ya calmed down a little and observed everyone's facial expressions.

Goodman must be proud, he is far less famous in the legal profession than Cochran, Diane, and Weir, but because of his own support, he has the final word, but he also knows that if he does not get too involved in the discussions of top lawyers, then the conflict will only come between Cochran and Diane.

"So what do you disagree about?" Song Ya asked.

"That Charz seems to be trying to get you more than you, right? APLUS, maybe we can lure him to take the initiative to expand the case. "And the special prosecutor doesn't seem to want to see that, and maybe that could lead to infighting in the prosecution." ”

"That Charles may indeed want to use the Barnes case to find out the white politician behind APLUS."

Cochran immediately retorted: "But we can't risk being diverted from public opinion, he is a black man who is being judicially persecuted by white people, and he doesn't need to be involved with white politicians." ”

Song Ya nodded, "I agree with Cochrane on this. ”

"Hey! Again, let go and leave things to more professional and suitable people to do! Will Gardner spread his hands again and complained.

"This is my case, and I take responsibility for my own decisions."

Don't break the law, it's not that you can't cause a little trouble at all, but in the Barn case itself, Song Ya must try not to involve Peter, Underwood, Cheney and other politicians, and bring them problems involving fundamental interests, "You are all extremely smart people, and it is not difficult for you to compromise with each other, right?" ”

He looked around at the lawyer group and said, "Even that Simpson scum can reconcile the internal relationships of his fantasy lawyer team and win a lawsuit that seems almost impossible to win, and I think I am better than him, so I absolutely cannot accept that you put me in a situation where I am more embarrassed than him." I'm a young man who hasn't gone to law school yet, so you have to try to avoid the situation where I need a layman to make the final decision, OK!? ”

“OK。”

"Okay."

The words worked well, and the lawyers nodded in agreement, and Ms. Sloan reached out to help him smooth out his mink coat.

"I didn't kill my wife, if you lose this lawsuit, you will be very embarrassed, remember that."

Fame and fortune also have side effects, and the Barnes case is much higher than the 'starting point' of the suspected murder of his wife as pointed out by Simpson's 10,000 husbands, whether it is Cochran, Diane, or Will, can they afford a fiasco? Then they don't want to raise their heads in the lawyer industry in the future, and if they want to win, they must unite, even if they don't look at each other well.

"Let's discuss the next jurisdictional lawsuit." Goodman proposed.

"I'll talk about it later."

Song Ya didn't want to talk about this in the corridor of the police station, although the police were very considerate to clear this section of the road, "Tell me about Anschutz's people, Sloan, I can't go abroad, I have to talk to them about the world tour." ”

According to the lawyers, the bail conditions can be changed later by applying for a change, but there are some troubles.

"Okay." Sloan picked up his phone and made a call.

When he walked to the door of the police station, he noticed that the two officers holding the doorknob were looking at him, so he nodded to them, "Open it." ”

The door was opened, and the bone-chilling Chicago wind swept in with snowflakes, and Song Ya was so excited that he heard a cacophony of slogans in his ears.

'Anti-persecution! Anti-discrimination! ’

‘APLUS！ APLUS！ APLUS！ ’

'Protest against judicial persecution! ’

Something like that, it sounds like at least a hundred.

Song Ya saw the backs of Pastor William and his spokesman Hamlin, and was very satisfied, it was not easy to organize hundreds of people to come over to help in such a bad weather in such a short time, he patted the backs of the two of them, and saw the black crowd of protesters gathered at the bottom of the steps, and there were many reporters around, and there were TV helicopters flying in the sky.

"He's out! He's out! ”

"APLUS, LET'S TALK ABOUT BAIL! Why was bail released so quickly? ”

"Do you have any response to the prosecution's accusations?"

The loud shouts of the reporters were accompanied by the propellers of helicopters drilling into the eardrums.

"Go ahead." Pastor William smiled and lifted his elbow.

Song Ya immediately raised one arm straight high, clenched his fist, his eyes were wide open, and he walked to the middle of the steps in the face of the dazzling flashing light, "They can't beat me!" "Yell at the protesting crowd.

"Yay!" The people cheered in response, as if to welcome the victorious general.

"I won't give in!" Song Ya continued to agitate, using intense phrases that exaggerated emotions.

Supporters love to see their fellow idols unrelentingly triumph over their rivals.

"Yay!" They continued to cheer in response.

"They won't beat me!"

"Yay!"

"Because I have you!" Song Ya roared in a thick voice while walking back and forth, and with the other hand, he pulled the rhinestone tag with the word A+ on his neck to display it.

"Yay!" The protest crowd became more and more agitated, and the people I supported were rich and powerful, so they attracted bullying from white people? No, absolutely not!

Do what is suitable for you, Song Ya knows that if she is a white person, she will not have these troubles at all, but white people may also envy her ability to encourage a large number of black people to make trouble? Each has its own advantages, and if there are advantages, we must make good use of them.

This scene was broadcast by some TV stations, and at William Morris headquarters in Los Angeles, Donovan also pointed to the TV in the conference room and roared, "We must support APLUS, and I propose that William Morris's artists go on strike en masse!" He is a member of the Writers Guild, winner of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and the Writers Guild is already willing to respond! Then we try to expand the action to all of Hollywood! ”

"Those screenwriters seized the opportunity to make trouble." Of course, the other partners were unwilling, and said in a weird manner.

Screenwriters as a whole are squeezed by Hollywood, which is very low compared with other industries.

"We can't let our artists be hunted down by public opinion and persecuted by justice! Even personal safety cannot be guaranteed! Today is APLUS, tomorrow it may be your artist! Donovan retorted.

"Hollywood has always supported him, right?" Someone retorted, "How can you fight for profit by making trouble for your own supporters?" ”

"So what about our actions? Do we support him but don't show it? Isn't that equal to zero? Donovan responded: "The whole William Morris doesn't help each other, and even some people look at me and APLUS's jokes behind my back, which is unacceptable." ”

"We are no longer the same as we were in the early years, and the CAA is not a monopoly CAA now, and we no longer have nuclear weapons in our hands to deal with the seven." Another said.

"Don't you want to return to your former glory? We can use this critical opportunity to showcase William Morris's influence, and that's good for everyone. ”

The honest Donovan slapped the table: "CAA has gone down, then we should also show our influence in Hollywood!" Now is the time! ”

"How long is the strike?" Someone was impressed and asked.

"It only takes a day, and the form will do." Donovan replied.

"Then the senior partners vote and raise their hands in agreement with the strike."

"Okay."

"Okay."

Some people raised their hands and some didn't, and Donovan began to count the votes in the air.

At the same time in Brisbane, Australia, Hayden finally appeared in front of MJ, "You are ......" MJ has an impression of Hayden, but he can't remember who it is.

"Hayden, APLUS's agent." Hayden smirked flatteringly as he patted the dust off his body.

"What's wrong with you?" MJ asked, motioning for the backup dancer he was rehearsing to not rush forward.

"I'm sorry, I crawled in through the backstage window, and your lawyer, Aaron Grubman, didn't allow the bodyguards to let us meet, so I was a little embarrassed."

Hayden explained, "I've been following your touring team for about ten days, and I've been ...... Hehe, I haven't been able to find a chance to meet you alone. ”

"I'm sorry."

The king of pop apologized weakly, "The tour is too hard, and my physical condition is not very good, so people can exclude the disturbance of irrelevant people." Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"You and APLUS have to talk about Motura, MJ."
