Chapter 1277 Diplomatic Immunity
Chapter 1,277 Diplomatic Immunity
What about Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Lin Feng looked up and saw that the seat that originally belonged to Arnold Schwarzenegger in the courtroom was empty. There was no news about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lin Feng ordered someone to call, but he was not in the service area.
"Boss, do you want me to go find him?" Li Rui asked in a low voice.
Lin Feng shook his head. This situation can only explain one thing. Arnold Schwarzenegger must have been called out. The reason is obviously to prevent Arnold Schwarzenegger from testifying for him. Now the phone has been called.
If he couldn't get through, Li Rui would definitely not be able to find it if he went out to look for it.
"Forget it, what is supposed to come will eventually come," Lin Feng sighed. Since President Bush is so deliberately targeting him, even if he finds Arnold Schwarzenegger, he probably won't testify on his behalf.
Profit comes first!—Obviously, Bush offered Arnold Schwarzenegger benefits that he could not refuse.
Indeed, Lin Feng did not guess wrong. Arnold Schwarzenegger did come to testify for Lin Feng today, but he received a temporary call from President Bush, asking him not to testify for Lin Feng. The condition was to help Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Wasinger was re-elected as the next governor. If Arnold Schwarzenegger did not agree, then he would set off some of Arnold Schwarzenegger's comments about admiring Hitler and commenting on socialist Austria, and removed him from the Republican Party.
Delisted within.
Faced with such threats and the temptation of interests, Arnold Schwarzenegger chose to protect himself wisely after weighing it repeatedly. After all, this time he was facing President Bush, and he, the governor of California, could not compete with him.
Especially since both of them are from the same political party.
Lin, I can't help you this time. I hope you can turn the crisis into good. ——Arnold Schwarzenegger sighed, and then left the court and returned to his governor's mansion.
"Lin, at this moment we can only use that move, this is the last resort." Ron said helplessly.
Lin Feng nodded. This time he was already in an invincible position, but this last move was also a life-saving trick, a "trick" that would only be used when he was in a desperate situation. Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked back.
Mr. Wen. However, Lin Feng did not see disappointment in his eyes, but a kind of anger. Obviously, Mr. Wen never believed that he could be such a worthless person. He believed that this was a frame-up and forged evidence.
Don't worry, Xiao Lin, since Bush is so shameless, I will support you on behalf of the country. Even if you are found guilty, you will not be imprisoned in the United States. - Mr. Wen made up his mind.
Regarding this matter, he had already spoken to Mr. Hu yesterday. After some discussion, he decided not to let Lin Feng go to jail at all costs. As for other things, he could exchange some benefits with Bush. At most, he would lose some immediate benefits.
Both Mr. Wen and Mr. Hu behind him believe that Lin Feng’s contribution today will be returned to the country several times in the future. They firmly believe that Lin Feng is a person who can change the current situation in China. Although they are in a high position,
But many times, it is inconvenient because they have too many "root systems" and it is easy to influence the whole body. However, Lin Feng has no family and no sect, but he has wealth and wit that are far beyond the reach of ordinary people, plus they have the support behind him
, Lin Feng is enough to change China's current situation and create a new, modern, prosperous and prosperous China.
"Defense lawyer, you can now cross-examine the witnesses." At this moment, the judge ordered.
Ron sneered a few times and stood up.
"Your Honor, we don't have any questions to ask. But I want to say one thing, that is, this does not comply with legal procedures and is unfair to my client. As for the correctness of this evidence, we will definitely look for it again.
Experts will confirm." Ron said and sat down.
Hunter snorted coldly when he heard this. To say that it is not in compliance with legal procedures is simply because you are speechless and unable to deal with it.
"Then let the prosecution make its closing remarks," the judge ordered.
Then, after Hunter's powerful closing words, it was the turn of Tom of Ron Senior Law Firm.
"Everyone, first of all, I want to make it clear that regarding the so-called evidence in the hands of Principal Lawrence H. Samus, in fact, my client has witnesses to prove it, proving that all this is just a fabrication by Lawrence H. Samus.
Yes, and this person's identity is extremely noble and prominent, and he will never lie. He was originally in this court, but due to some well-known reasons, he is no longer here. As for who this person is, my client does not want to know who this person is.
I said it, and I don't want to trouble him anymore, because since he is not here now, there must be a reason." Tom said slowly.
Most people are aware of the big shot Tom is talking about. Only one person left the court just now - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he has been sitting behind Lin Feng today, obviously supporting Lin Feng.
Now that he has suddenly left and never returned, it is obvious that as Tom said, there are some irresistible reasons that prevent him from coming back. As for what the irresistible reasons are, no one is willing to guess. Because there are some things that do not know too much.
not good.
And Lin Feng didn’t let Tom say Arnold Schwarzenegger’s name because he wanted to give Arnold Schwarzenegger some face. After all, if the two parties were in another position, Lin Feng would also choose like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
.After all, he and Arnold Schwarzenegger are still just friends. Although they have reached some secret agreements, they have not yet reached the point of interfering with each other. The two parties have not reached this point yet. In this case, why should Lin Feng go?
Saying Arnold Schwarzenegger's name added trouble to him and offended him out of thin air. On the contrary, this time I was able to sell Arnold Schwarzenegger a favor, which would be of great benefit to future interactions between the two parties.
"I don't want to say anything more here. I just implore the jury to think about it. As the world's richest man, my client has a bright future and there is no grudge between him and Lawrence H. Samus. He
There is no reason to target Mr. Lawrence H. Samus like this. This is completely unreasonable. After all, any criminal must have a motive to commit a crime, but my client has no motive and no interests to drive him.
He did these things. Therefore, I implore the jury to find my client not guilty!" Tom's closing words were very emotional. To be honest, in Lin Feng's opinion, it was enough to get 100 points.
However, both Lin Feng and Tom themselves knew that in fact, the closing words were of no use at all. Because no matter Tom's closing words were good, it was clear from the expressions and eyes of the jurors that they absolutely believed Lawrence-h
-Samus and the so-called "evidence" in his hands.
After waiting for 15 minutes.
The jury and judge appeared in the courtroom again.
Everyone's breath could not help but gasp. If Lin Feng is really tried and found guilty this time, he will probably be the first richest man in the world to be sentenced. So will Lin Feng be found guilty?
After a period of waiting, the judge took over the final verdict from the jury.
"After the jury has consistently ruled, the defendant Lin Feng——" The judge glanced at Lin Feng and then said calmly, "Guilty."
Hunter clenched his fist in silent ecstasy. At the same time, he glanced at Ron with a proud look on his face. He finally defeated Ron this time.
The whole audience was amazed. Although Jobs and others had predicted the final outcome of the trial, it was still quite shocking to hear the word "guilty" from the judge's mouth. Lin Feng, the world's richest man, was really found guilty.
.
At this time, President Bush, who was far away in the White House, also looked excited, but there was a strange light on his face, as if he was expecting something.
However, everyone still wants to see how long Lin Feng will be sentenced in the end and whether there will be a suspended sentence.
"The defendant Lin Feng was found guilty of three counts of planning and instigating others to illegally imprison, destroy public communications, and destroy public facilities to endanger other people's lives. He was sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison, which will be executed immediately." The judge finished reading coldly.
There is no probation! And the sentence is as long as 12 years! The whole court screamed. This sentence is really heavy, very heavy.
After Jobs and others sighed for a while, they stood up. The world's richest man was ruined in this way, and they also lost one of their strongest opponents.
Mr. Wen's face was livid at this moment. Even if the so-called "evidence" of Lawrence H. Samus was true, it would not be such a high sentence. Mr. Wen had also consulted a lawyer familiar with American law in advance, like Lin Feng
For these three charges, the maximum sentence is 12 years. According to the existing evidence, even if Lin Feng is guilty, the maximum sentence will be 3-5 years, and there is a high possibility of probation. After all, Lawrence H. Samus himself is not
There was nothing serious, and Lin Feng also visited him in the hospital and helped his family arrange work so that he could be taken care of nearby. Unexpectedly, in the end, the California Supreme Court sentenced Lin Feng to the maximum sentence.
This is simply the darkest unjust, false and wrongful case in this century. President Bush, do you have to get rid of Lin Feng and then go fast? - Mr. Wen asked angrily in his heart. But now it is up to him to exercise his rights and take advantage of the country.
use his strength to protect Lin Feng.
The only right Mr. Wen could give Lin Feng was to give him one - diplomatic immunity.
Since you, Bush, can be so shameless, you will no longer abide by the so-called rules of the game. - In disdain, Mr. Wen picked up the phone and began to contact the waiting diplomatic ambassador. Although after exercising this right, subsequent negotiations with the United States
He would suffer a lot, but it was inevitable now. After all, he would never tolerate Lin Feng being imprisoned in the United States for 12 years.
Here it comes!——President Bush is looking forward to it with great anticipation.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ron suddenly spoke.
"Your Honor, my client is indeed guilty, but you have no right to execute your sentence against my client," Ron said.
The judge was stunned.
"Your Honor, don't forget, my client is a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire." Ron said.
The judge frowned slightly, and after consulting with his assistant for a few times, he said coldly, "Yes, the defendant is indeed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, but this knighthood is only an honorary title and does not have any diplomatic immunity."
Ron smiled slightly.
"It is true that a knight of the Order of the British Empire does not have any diplomatic immunity. But my client is also the tourism ambassador of the Maldives and has also received the Maldives' National Medal of Honor, and this 'National Medal of Honor' has diplomatic immunity.
"This is a document signed by the President of the Maldives, which explains all the rights that Lin Feng has." Ron handed the document sent by the President of the Maldives to the judge.
The judge took a look and found that, as Ron said, the "National Medal of Honor" that Lin Feng received had diplomatic immunity.
On the spot, the judge turned blue. After learning the truth of the matter, prosecutor Hunter also turned blue.
Diplomatic immunity, doesn't this mean that they worked hard for a long time, and in the end, although they were able to convict Lin Feng, they could not let Lin Feng receive the punishment he deserved? - Thinking of this result, Hunter was going crazy. He was really going crazy.
.
And it's not just Hunter who is going crazy. Also going crazy is President Bush who is far away in the "White House". He planned for so long, but finally succeeded with great difficulty. Seeing Lin Feng convicted and sentenced, it can be said that
It was Bush's happiest day in this century. But in the end, Lin Feng could not be convicted. Isn't this just an empty joy? And this feeling of empty joy is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable.
What's even more uncomfortable is that the final bad thing turned out to be the diplomatic immunity of a small country in the Maldives. Originally, when Mr. Wen strongly supported Lin Feng, Bush's thoughts became active. If he can become the president of the United States, he is not a pedantic person.
People know what it means to assess the situation, and they also know what it means to make the best use of the situation. Therefore, Bush has expected to the end that if Lin Feng goes to jail, Mr. Wen will definitely give Lin Feng diplomatic immunity, so that he will not be able to convict Lin Feng.
Lin Feng cannot go to jail, which indeed makes Bush very unhappy. However, Bush can take the opportunity to take a heavy blow from China, which will be of great benefit to his future re-election as President of the United States. For President Bush, being able to be re-elected as President will not be a big deal.
It is more important than punishing Lin Feng. After all, if you want to punish Lin Feng, you can still find opportunities in the future. But there are not many opportunities to take a big hit from China, especially if it is related to your future re-election.
Unexpectedly, all this was ruined by a small island country, the Maldives. Lin Feng indeed obtained diplomatic immunity, but it was not from China, but from the island country of the Maldives. This undoubtedly made President Bush, who had been waiting for a long time, vomit blood.
Facing the Maldives, an island country, President Bush feels like he is swatting mosquitoes with a cannon. Because the Maldives does not rely on trade at all, and its main profits are fishing and tourism. No matter how powerful and barbaric the United States is, it cannot deny the other country sales.
Fish, ban tourists from traveling to the Maldives! As for the commonly used claim that it is a terrorist country, that is even more of a joke. The Maldives does not even have an army, only the National Defense Force, a police-like existence. How can he falsely accuse the Maldives of being a terrorist country?
Even if he dares to make such a false accusation, who would believe it?
