"The people of Cal Icahn spread the word ......"

In the afternoon, the trial was reconvened, and due to Heinrich's temporary change of mind and withdrawal of his testimony, the prosecution lawyer applied for an adjournment, but the defense team's dream lawyer team did not agree, and the two sides were called into the office by the judge for urgent mediation.

"Yes." Song Ya put her hand in front of her mouth and nodded in agreement.

"Are you sure?" Sloan made a final confirmation.

"Whoever admits defeat first gets forgiveness, it's fair." Song Ya said.

"Then I'll start negotiating with the guys in Cal Icahn?"

"Silence!"

Sloane was talking when the bailiff suddenly shouted.

It turned out that the judge had returned, as did the lawyers for the prosecution and defense, and Wilgardner gave a thumbs up to this side, and should have obtained a satisfactory result.

"Well, you can do it."

Song Ya raised his right hand and let Cochran, who was next to him, stand up crookedly, and he noticed that the prosecution's former Cook County state attorney Charles was puffing and angry, while the special prosecutor and the two men were expressionless, and they seemed to have some internal disagreement.

"Since one witness was unable to testify and his testimony was withdrawn, the afternoon hearing process will be adjusted accordingly, so please be seated." The judge motioned for everyone to sit down.

Song Ya sat down and looked back again, Sloane had already opened the door of the trial hall and went out.

"Then ask the defendant Alexander Song to enter the witness stand and be questioned by lawyers on both sides." The judge soon ordered again.

"Don't be nervous."

Cochran whispered, and then cooperated with the bailiff to push his wheelchair to the witness stand, and the bailiff opened the door of the witness bench and was about to help, "No, I'll do it myself." Song Ya smiled, grabbed the wooden railing by herself, and moved her body to the chair of the witness stand with a little difficulty with both hands.

Now on his right-hand side was the judge standing tall above, very close, and behind him on the left-hand side were twelve jury members, across a wooden fence, in front of the bailiff guarding the waist door, and he saw Cochran push the empty wheelchair back into the dock, and the faces of the dream lawyers over there, and the prosecution prosecutors across the aisle.

The auditorium was still full, all eyes were on themselves, and the scene was quiet, except for the occasional cough or two.

There was also a slight rustling sound, and people looked up at themselves from time to time, and then wrote and drew on paper, and since the trial was not allowed to be live-streamed, the kind of live sketches that would be used by the media for publication should be made by these people.

He wasn't very nervous, and he still had the leisure in his mind to think about Karl Icahn's first compromise, in fact, Heinrich's game was specially set up for Karl Icahn, and the old fox actually ran away before he shot the goal? He was a little sorry, but it was not bad to think about it, Carl Icahn was the first to compromise, and the Amerika music website case would be much easier to solve than the Dillay and Hamlin compromise.

"It's okay to sit like this, right?" The judge turned his head and asked with concern.

"No, that's good, thank you, Your Excellency."

Except that the chair was a little hard, Song Ya smiled sincerely at him, then smiled and nodded to the jury, and then raised his hand to say hello to Aunt Susie, Tony, Connie, Emily, and Mariah Carey, who was holding little Rhaegar in her arms.

"Alexander Song, please take your vows."

The judge's assistant came to help take the oath, "hands on ......"

"Oh." Song Ya pressed his hand to the cover of the Bible, raised his other hand, palm outward, and read after the other party: "I, Alexander Song, swear to God Almighty that all my testimony in court about this case is true, complete, and absolutely true......"

"The defense lawyer will conduct the questioning first." The judge said.

It was still Will Gardner, who approached him slowly, "APLUS, YOU JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN 1992, RIGHT?" His first few questions were basic information about the time of the Bath case, in order to remove his nerves.

"Yes." Song Ya only had to give an affirmative answer.

"Okay, what was your itinerary before arriving at the Barn fluorescent agent factory and the general manager testified that you ordered him to provide technical information to Huaguo enterprises?" Will Gardner asked.

"Me and Mariah Carey...... That is, my ex-wife is doing a commercial show in Los Angeles. Song Ya replied.

"What about before the commercial show?"

It's all set of dialogues, "Shoot the music video for where is the love with director Larry Jordon and Fergie and others, in Beverly Hills, in my rented house." ”

"Fergie was your girlfriend at the time, right? Your relationship with Mariah Carey is nothing more than ......," Will asked again.

"Yes, I was very good friends with her at the time." Song Ya looked at his ex-wife, who had already pursed her mouth.

The observers also looked at her, "Is this related to this case!?" "The prosecution's Charles protested loudly to the judge.

"Please be patient." Will threw a sentence over, then asked, "Remember the earlier events?" APLUS。 ”

"Uh...... I was at a Hollywood party with Halle Berry, you know, there were parties almost every day, and we had several shows. ”

"You also had a fight with Xue Linfen's then-boyfriend at one of the parties, right?"

"Yes."

Someone in the auditorium had already laughed, Mariah Carey's face became more and more ugly, and Song Ya felt that she seemed to be about to burst out at any time to announce in public that she had gotten together with herself, and her heart was a little weak to avoid her gaze.

"What about after going to the fluorescent agent factory?" Will asked again.

"Uh...... We had a big fight with Fergie in Chicago about a contract extension, but we quickly got together and went into the studio to record a song together. ”

"After that?"

"I concentrated on recording songs, and later went to New York to record where is the love's star-studded singing, went to the recording studio, and had dinner and parties with friends such as Mariah Carey, Walt Afanaev, and Escuber...... And so on, that's basically it. Song Ya replied.

"It's the testimony of the people involved, Fergie's, Larry Jordon's, Escubber's...... And, of course, Mariah Carey's. Will gestured to Mariah Carey over there, handing out the papers to the judge and jurors.

"Don't delay!" Charles sat there again and shouted.

"Rest easy."

Will continued, "APLUS, DO YOU DRINK ALCOHOL WHEN YOU GO TO PARTIES, DINNERS, AND RECORD SONGS?" ”

"Yes, drinking, singing, recording, going to parties, parties, and drinking more, it's basically the life of a hip-hop artist." Song Ya replied.

"And how do you juggle business!?" Will reveals the real purpose of such a large amount of foreshadowing, and exaggerates his pretense of concern.

"I ...... Hehe, I basically don't have time to take care of any business. Song Ya also cooperated very well and smiled bitterly, "Occasionally when I think about it, I call the manager to ask about the progress, and that's it." ”

"Have you done any in-depth research on chemical plants?"

"No, I just heard that business makes money, so I ...... I voted for it. ”

"You don't care?"

"Well, care is still caring, after all, the money was invested...... But I don't understand the chemical industry, and I don't understand it now. ”

"Okay, I'm done with my question."

Will Gardner Schran returned to the dock.

"Counsel for the prosecution." The judge said.

Charz sneered, got up and stared at himself viciously as he approached.

Song Ya also looked at him calmly.

"APLUS, HOW DID YOU GET FROM HIGH SCHOOL THAT YEAR?" Charz asked.

"Not bad."

"A grade point average! Full marks in math! Charles said loudly to the jurors, "You jumped one level to the University of Chicago in '93 and got a high ACT score, so what about when you graduated from the University of Chicago four years later?" ”

"Uh......"

He didn't wait for Song Ya to answer, "Graduated as an honor student!" You've also made a series of shrewd investments over the course of a few years, and I draw the jury's attention to the fact that the man in front of you is a billionaire under the age of twenty-three! He is also the youngest self-made billionaire in the world! And how many people are now worth more than one billion yuan? Just over sixty! Jurors, please forget about the deliberate misleading tactics of the defense lawyer just now! In this case, you must not treat the defendant by the standards of ordinary people! APLUS is a genius who is far smarter and energetic than us, how many people in the whole country can deceive him!? I? You guys? Or Mr. General Manager in the morning? Neither! ”

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and the black woman in the jury nodded slightly to APLUS, and when he looked back, the old man of the special prosecutor was already sighing in despair.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and Song Ya only heard the crackling typing sound of the stenographer, turned his head to look at the judge, and shrugged innocently to say that the prosecution lawyer didn't let me answer anything.

"APLUS, you only have to answer the judge and jurors, have you ordered Mr. General Manager to let the Chinese enterprises take away those technical materials that are prohibited from being sold?" Charles hurried back to make up for it.

"I don't remember." Song Ya replied.

"The penalty for perjury is severe." Charz smiled, and also supported the wooden railing of the witness stand with both hands, his face was close to Song Ya, and he put pressure, "You remember a lot of things, but you forgot about this matter?" ”

"If you live the same life as me, you'll forget." Song Ya replied.

"That's big business." Charles said.

"I had just returned to Chicago from Los Angeles and was about to go to New York, and I was so busy that I couldn't remember much and I had a hangover."

"You're lying!"

"I don't have to lie, of course you think of me." Song Ya looked him directly, "Oh yes, I apologize, I supported your opponent in one election, Mr. Former State Attorney. ”

"In addition to Mr. General Manager, I also have the testimony of the workers, security personnel and engineers who were present at the time, and the evidence is conclusive. ”

He turned to distributing documents to judges and jurors, "Mr. Edward, a Wall Street investor and one of the original owners of Barnes, also testified that he had a long and difficult tug-of-war negotiation with APLUS about the sale of the factory, and he said that APLUS's business skills were very high, and he bought the factory at the smallest cost almost until they were about to break the capital chain and had their last breath, and by the time APLUS resold the factory, the investment had more than doubled!" ”

"Well, let me be clear, I didn't deliberately engage in any tug-of-war negotiations with Mr. Edward, or use delaying tactics, I just forgot about this business, and most of the time I was concentrating on my music career, and ...... Pleasure. ”

This damn Edward! Old Barn didn't even say it in a mixed way, and Song Ya hurriedly defended.

"Trick the devil into it!"

With a triumphant smile, Charles began to address the jury, "Whether you sympathize with the defendant or appreciate the defendant, I remind you that the only key in this case is whether APLUS, as the owner of the Barnes fluorescent agent factory at the time, personally ordered the technical data to be taken to a country where export is prohibited." Our chain of evidence is so complete that he deserves to be convicted 100 percent! ”

"Convicted! Convicted! ”

Sunnyvale, Delay kept looking at his watch, looking at the telephone, praying.

'Bang bang! There was a sudden knock on the locked office door, "Don't disturb me!" He shouted impatiently.

"Open the door!" The voice was from De Mingxin, who was roughly twisting the doorknob, "Delay! Open the damn door! ”

“FXXK！ What's the matter!? He got up and opened the door.

Demingxin's man came in and shoved him, "Carl Icahn sold us!" Idiot! Then he angrily called out all the clutter on his boss's desk, "You're done!" Delay! ”

"The verdict has not yet been pronounced! I didn't get a call! DeLay yelled at him and threw himself on the floor to put the phone back together to check if it was on.

"It doesn't matter to us anymore, you are pathetic...... Dile, two months away from becoming a billionaire, and now ......"

De Mingxin's man kicked the debris on the ground away, and glanced at Di Lai who was kneeling on the ground with disgust, "Forget it, it's too late to say more...... Sorry we have to think about our own interests, goodbye. ”

"Hey! What the hell is going on!? Delay shouted at the other man's back, but received no answer.

"My new number."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hamlin found a pay phone near the new location on time and reported the number, "How's the trial going?" ”

"I've been trying to contact you, but I can't!" The person on the other end of the line was anxious.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay in one place for too long." Hamlin apologizes.

"There was a key witness who did not show up and he withdrew his testimony and testimony." The man reported: "But the trial is still going on, and others say that it is possible to pronounce the verdict today, or continue to adjourn the trial, half to half." ”

"Okay, enough information, thank you."

Hamlin sighed, "From now on, I will contact you from time to time, and the number just now will be invalid, that's all." ”

He made a quick decision, hung up the phone, and beckoned a taxi, "Go to the long-distance bus stop." "Explain to the driver in simple Spanish.

Song Ya has already been pushed back into the dock, and there is no new idea in the Barn case now, and after several rounds of intense cross-examination, the fantasy lawyer group seems to have won the approval of most of the jury members, anyway, the micro-expression experts judged it this way.

And Charles, on the other hand, bites the evidence of the crime and does not let go, if the jury members are absolutely rational, then he still has the possibility of being found guilty.

Now it is the expert witness of both sides to testify, "Sensitizer is sensitizer, catalyst is catalyst, as an expert in related fields, I have dealt with Mr. General Manager at the research meeting, I think it is impossible for someone like him to make such a low-level mistake." Our expert witness said.

"We don't explain the reaction process too hard to ordinary people outside the industry, because the listener doesn't understand it at all, so we can only use a way that is easy for the other party to understand......"

The prosecution's expert witness said: "That's why professional names such as sensitizers are often referred to as catalysts in general...... Or simply call it a reactant, depending on the level of the listener. ”

"That's not true." Will Gardner interrupted him.

"Yes, it's not a fact, but it's also a tacit way of stating, we are industry experts and business managers, but we are not teachers in schools, and we have no obligation to teach others." The other party replied.

"Not to the boss?" Will asked with a smile.

"Uh...... It depends. ”

"Yes, it depends. I get it, when it's good for me, I'll ......" Will grabbed the handle.

"I'm against it!" Chartz immediately interrupted, "This guy always misinterprets witness testimony. ”

"The opposition is valid."

"I apologize, I'm done with my question." Will smirked back.

"Lawyers on both sides can make closing arguments." The judge said.

"Mr. Doug? Now you can ......"

Outside the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the female secretary came out and invited Doug to meet with Prosecutor Spitzer again, "What about people? But the man who had been sitting on the bench all day was suddenly gone, "What about the weirdo?" She asked the rest of the staff.

"I don't know, it looks like it's gone." The staff shook their heads blankly.

"Icahn Capital and the prosecution have just reached a settlement, which I believe will facilitate a speedy resolution of the Amerika Music website case, which I personally welcome."

Alicia appeared at the door of the local courtroom in Silicon Valley and told reporters very optimistically: "This is the most significant development in this case so far." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" The reporters frantically leaned forward, slamming their cameras into the face of the Illinois governor's wife.

"Hehe, I'm sorry."

Alicia waved her hand with pleasure, "We'll need some time to work out the evidence. ”

"Mrs. Flock! Mrs. Flock! "The reporters chased all the way to the courthouse.

“SHXT！ SHXT！ ”

Delay didn't react until he read the news, he held his head in his hands and muttered to himself in the office in confusion, 'Didi! There were two shrill buzzing sounds from downstairs, like those of a police car.

He rushed to the window, and sure enough, it was a police car, two, then two, and several police officers came down from it, gathered at the door to discuss something.

Soon, a number of cars and motorcycles of various brands gathered on the periphery, carrying cameras and microphones......

He forced himself to calm down, went out to call the site's in-house lawyer, and as soon as he walked down the hall, he noticed that the atmosphere was even more wrong, and the employees all stood up in a daze, talking to people at nearby workstations.

"Do your job!" He scolded.

But this time no one listened to him, the employees did not sit down, but hid away and gathered a little more, their eyes were empty, without emotion or fear, like jurors who were examining and sentencing.

"Please note that the Barn case happened in '92, when the defendant APLUS had just graduated from high school, he was not the most popular African-American singer at that time, nor was he the richest African-American, and after he was about to achieve these two achievements, he was ridden ......"

After Charles' repetition of the old closing arguments, the black barrister Cochran stood in front of the jury, he turned around, used his thumb and index finger to form a pistol, and pointed it at Song Ya, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! "Six gunshots were simulated with his mouth.

Song Ya turned his face away from his 'muzzle', sighed, his eyes were empty, and his expression still seemed to be a little frightened.

"And while there is still a gunman at large."

Cochran continued: "This '92 case is entangled in APLUS again, Come on! Jurors, what did he know at the time? What do you know? What were you doing when you were seventeen or eighteen? Think about it, if you became famous at a young age and surrounded by countless beautiful men......"

Well? Song Ya glanced back at Cochrane.

"Woman ......"

Don't gasp for breath when you talk, hey!

"Wine, parties, and parties, flying from the West Coast to the Midwest and back to the West Coast, either on a plane or in a recording studio......"

Cochran continued Will's strategy, "Which of you still has time to tell what catalyst and sensitizer are?" If I hadn't represented this case, I wouldn't even know those two words! It's true. And who can tell from the documents in an entire treasury which violated the Batumi agreements established in '49? Oh yes, by the way, the agreement of that backward era has been dissolved for three years, just two years after ninety-two, how ridiculous! ”

"APLUS, where is the love, which he was recording at the time, was a song he wrote for the events of '92 in Los Angeles, and I think everyone here has the impression that if he hadn't soothed our hearts with this song, Chicago would have been in a much greater turmoil......"

"God has sent a miracle to save him from a fatal gunshot wound, he has just woken up from a five-month coma and is still unable to move, I don't think such a person will and should not be sent to prison again, just because of five years! A statement from five years ago that could not even be defined if it did exist......"

Cochran spoke at length, and the target of persuasion was clearly placed on the black members of the jury.

"The power of choice is in your hands, jurors, I ask you to make a fair decision, I and APLUS only ask for fair treatment by the whole society, a minimum of fairness, thank you, thank you."

Cochran choked up and sat back next to Songya, and the two hugged and slapped their backs.

"With the temporary adjournment of the trial, I remind the jurors that the definition of the crime cannot be based on emotion, and it is sufficient to make a judgment based on the evidence you have obtained at trial."

The judge, perhaps sensing Cochran's incitement, added a sentence before striking the hammer.

"Hey! You ......" Tony angrily threatened to open his voice at the judge, and the lawyers hurried to stop it.

The bailiff took the twelve jury members out of the hall, and the judge left, Song Ya and the others sat down to rest and chat, and his ex-wife took the opportunity to pinch his arm.

Others took advantage of the opportunity to come in and out.

"What will happen to me?" DeLay asked the site's in-house lawyer.

"Uh...... I don't know what Icahn Capital is trying to do...... And, and I am not your personal lawyer Mr. President, you may need to consult your personal lawyer on this matter. The internal lawyer of the website replied.

Delay glared at him.

"It must be as soon as possible, while the personal account has not been frozen, you will need money, a lot of money." The in-house lawyer is more generous.

"Damn it!"

Delay thought of something, didn't care about anything else, ran downstairs, and when he drove the car out of the parking lot, the police car immediately followed, but he shouldn't have gotten the arrest warrant yet, "See you at the bank!" ”

He made an appointment with a private lawyer and drove straight to the bank, regardless of whether the car would be towed away, and the paparazzi on the back seat of the motorcycle who were slamming at him, ran into the door again.

"Okay, wait a minute, Mr. DeLay." The bank manager, who has been friends for many years, is still enthusiastic, "Are all those reporters out there trying to interview you?" Wow......" just complimented and readily agreed to withdraw a large amount of cash without an appointment, "uh...... Wait a minute. After tapping on the keyboard a few times, his face changed when he looked at the screen, and hesitated, "I need to call my superiors, soon." ”

“FXXK！ Don't fool me! ”

DeLay angrily stretched out his head to look at the other party's computer screen, and the manager immediately alertly turned off the big ass monitor, "Please wait." He called the guard at the door in, "I'll be right back." ”

Delay went to press the monitor switch again, but unfortunately, he was physically stopped by the guards in an instant.

"Alas!"

Hamlin has already sat on the bus to the border of Mexico, there are very few people, he shrunk back and lowered the brim of his cowboy hat, the matter has come to this, he can only go back to the United States to face all this, hoping to end the life and psychological torture of hiding in Tibet as soon as possible, he closed his eyes and recuperated, regret is naturally regretful, but it is indeed too bad luck, who knows that APLUS has been in a coma for a few months, and people are about to die in bed......

If he and Goodman hadn't consulted with doctors in private, how would they have done it?

"Alas!" He sighed again.

"Silence!"

At five o'clock, the judge came back to reopen the trial, "So soon?" Has the jury reached a consensus? He asked the jury members who had been brought back.

"Yes and no." The jury, elected by twelve jurors, handed a note to the bailiff, who forwarded it to the judge.

"I see, let's announce it." The judge nodded.

"All stand up!" The crowd, who had just sat down, had to stand up again.

Song Ya's hand held Cochran's arm, and even though he knew that the odds were great, he couldn't help but get nervous.

"The jury found defendant Alexander Song guilty of complicity...... Not true! ”

Tony and Susie behind Song Ya cheered, and many people in the auditorium began to celebrate.

He felt a constant tapping on the shoulder, wondering if Will or Diane, and Tony writhed his ass at the gloomy-looking plaintiff's seat.

But it wasn't over yet, and he stared at the jury leader reading the note.

"Defendant Alexander Song is charged with fraud...... Not true! ”

There was even greater cheering.

What about the other one? Song Ya frowned, it should be three crimes, but the jury leader only announced two and returned the note to the bailiff, and then sat back in his place.

"The jury has not reached a unanimous verdict on the charge of illegal trading against the defendant Alexander Song." The judge said.

“WTF！” Tony started to make a fuss again.

Song Ya sat down unhappily.

The judge did not pursue the matter, "the next court session ......"

"Well, the defense applied for another temporary adjournment." In fact, Diane Lockhard, who was in charge of the whole situation, interrupted the judge, "Five minutes. "We need to communicate urgently with the prosecution." ”

"Yes." Judge's approval.

"Let's talk?" Diane walked over to the prosecution team.

"Okay." The old man of the special prosecutor agreed, and the lawyers of both sides went out.

"Are you alright?" Mariah Carey asked worriedly.

"It's okay......" Song Ya shook her outstretched hand.

A little tormented, he scratched his head and waited silently.

“FXXK！” Fortunately, I didn't have to wait too long, and when the door opened, there was a faint sound of Charles's scolding, which showed that it was ......

Song Ya was overjoyed.

"Is a fine of 7.8 million dollars okay?" Diane asked.

"I can't put my sentence on probation, and I'll have a tour next year." Song Ya replied.

"If you don't get a suspended sentence, you pay a fine."

"Alright, let's get the damn over it."

Song Ya didn't want to take the risk and wait for the next court session, the price was okay, let's spend money to eliminate the disaster, anyway, Barn Chemical helped him earn more than 7.8 million.

"We've agreed, Your Excellency." Diane and the special prosecutor went to the judge's bench and whispered that Song Ya looked at it, and Charz did not appear again, as if he was angry.

"The defendant Alexander Song was found guilty of illegal dealing, and the prosecution and defense reached an out-of-court settlement of this case, and the trial is over, thank you to the jurors and everyone for their hard work......" The judge struck the hammer in a brisk manner.

"Yay!" Most of the people in the hall instantly burst into jubilation.
