Chapter 026: On the Boundaries of Heroes and Criminals
The Fantastic Four are up.
Fantastic Four were accused.
This has been the front page headlines of major newspapers in New York in the past half month.
Court of Uptown New York.
As a member of the District Attorney's Office, Christie, with a tall figure, was ambitious and said to the bald judge who was sitting in the judge's chair: "My Lord Judge, the defendants are never a hero, and they are not worthy of being heroes. In fact, they should be responsible for the damaged Brooklyn Bridge and the dead four."
Standing next to Christie, he founded Thomson Law Firm. Thomson, who has been through the court for a long time, smiled and said, "Judge, this is simply a joke. Who doesn't know in the whole of New York? It was my client who saved countless lives. Now the District Attorney Office is actually thinking of sending four heroes to prison. Oh my God, are you trying to become famous and crazy?"
"Defendant lawyer, I think you should figure out one problem, that is, the most basic causal relationship."
Christie was not afraid at all, and took out a videotape sent to her house three days ago and put it on the bald judge's desk and said, "Judge, the District Attorney Office has sufficient evidence to express the view that Reed Richards, Ben Grim, Susan Stone and Johnny Stone are never heroes, and they are not worthy of being heroes."
What?
Where did the videotape come from?
Is this important?
This is not important to Christie at all. What is important is that once she wins the case, her path to prosecutors will change from a small path to Zhuangkang Avenue.
soon.
After watching the contents of the video, the bald judge looked up at Christie who was sure to win and Thomson with a blank expression. After a while, he announced that Thomson's request for invalid prosecution was rejected and the decision to formally open the court three days later.
Thomson remained silent.
He had no way to refute it. After all, the video tape clearly showed that if the stone man had not appeared on the Brooklyn Bridge, none of this would have happened.
It was the stone man who started with a beginning.
However, there is no room for operation. As a defense lawyer who has been through the law for a long time, Thomson suddenly came up with three ways to deal with it.
Half an hour later, the Shangcheng Court officially accepted the case, and the decision to open the court three days later was instantly known by countless media people.
And... the new superhero team, the Fantastic Four.
The atmosphere in Richard's apartment building was strange.
Johnny looked at Thomson, the lawyer who came to inform them about to respond, and said a little ridiculously: "What's the situation? We are superheroes, we saved many lives."
Oh my God.
Half a month ago, they were superheroes who were full of stars, so why are they suddenly becoming suspects who may go to jail?
And it's...
To put it into the local prosecutor's office, there are still four terrorists.
Attorney Thomson said to the Fantastic Four in New York City: "…this is the best way."
Richard held his chin and said nothing.
Susan glanced at the silent stone man over there and said, "But, what should I do?"
Thomson spread his hands and said, "There is no way, there is a clear video over there to prove that if Ben hadn't appeared on the Brooklyn Bridge, nothing would have happened."
Johnny said, "But we saved many lives."
Thomson shook his head and said, "In da's eyes, you are not like this. Da just needs to keep such a point of view. If you don't show up, none of this will happen."
Johnny and Susan were peerless.
Richard looked up and said, "So, Thomson, what about your opinion."
Thomson said: "It was Christie who was responsible for this case. That woman would not easily let her go of a case that would make her famous. If I was not wrong, the New York Police Department will come and arrest you soon."
"What?"
"Arest us?"
“We are superheroes.”
The Fantastic Four were stunned. In a word, life is so exciting.
Just then.
The phone rings and Richard answers the phone, who is the manager of the first floor of the apartment.
"Dr. Richards, the NYPD people have already gone up," the administrator said on the phone.
Richard was slightly stunned.
The doorbell rang.
After Richard opened the door, a team of police officers walked in. George Stacey, the leader, shook his right hand and showed off the arrest warrant signed by the Uptown Court, and hung it in front of Richard. Then he said to Ben Grim, the stone man sitting there, with a blank expression: "Ben Grim, you have been arrested for suspected terrorist operations. Please follow us."
The stone man looked up.
Susan, who was next to her, couldn't help but look at the stone man: "Ben..."
Check out the lawyer Thomson who invited him to visit.
Thomson said there was no way to stop this, so the New York Police Department could only make the New York Police Department want to take Ben away and then go to bail.
only……
In the New York Police Department, but when the three of them heard that Ben's bail amount was confined to one million Franklin by the Uptown Court, the three of them were not calm.
One million?
Is this crazy?
It is impossible to sell this slice for 500,000 yuan.
Thomson, who came out of the office, said with some suspicion and surprise: "The Upper Town Court has accepted the request from the District Attorney Office to hear Ben Grim on suspicion of terrorist acts, first-degree murder, and endangering public safety."
Richard and Stone were shocked and confused.
Didn’t you say that you sued the four of them?
Why did it become a person all at once?
Faced with the questions of Richard and Stone sisters, Thomson, as the lawyer of the four of them, thought of a possible possibility and said: "Da is trying to fight a 100% victory."
One sentence.
If the District Procuratorate Office prosecutes four people, it may be found loopholes. After all, the District Procuratorate Office has only one view.
The cause of everything is because of the stone man. Without the stone man, there would be no next story.
and……
Compared with the other three, once the trial was held, it was obvious that the strange appearance of the Stone Man was difficult to get the recognition and sympathy of the jury.
In this way, compared to prosecuting three handsome and beautiful defendants, it is better to prosecuting one weird-looking defendant.
Christie has a 100% chance of winning in this war. Instead of adding unnecessary variables to his own chance of winning, it is better to target one.
Thomson also understood the methods of the District Attorney Office, but he had no way to stop all this.
There is only one plan for the present.
After leaving the police station, in the car, Thomson said to the magical three: "The situation is good and bad now, at least it is not targeting you three."
Susan seemed to hear Thomson's voiceover: "What do you mean?"
Johnny said directly: "You mean, let's give up on this?"
