Chapter 78: Court Defense

Wang Fan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't be so tasteless. I just think that the foreign girl Cora has a bit of personality, and I admire her. I really want to pursue her."

Ju An glanced at Wang Fan and said, "You are a bitch. You don't like those who are nice to you, but you miss those who are nice to you. It's like a novel written by a poor aunt. It makes my balls hurt when I read it."

.

After breakfast, the two of them watched TV for a while. Henry brought a young white guy over. After introducing him, he found out that he was Henry's assistant. Ju An took out his mobile phone and gave it to Henry, who put it away.

He put it into a bag, sealed it, told two people about going to court, and left.

The two of them didn't go out to play today. They were waiting for the court session. They really had no interest in going out, so they stayed in the hotel and surfed the Internet and played games. Wang Fan continued to hold his arm with his big pineapple third generation.

Finally, when the day of trial arrived, Ju An and Wang Fan got up early, washed themselves, put on their suits, got into Henry's car, and arrived at the New York court.

When he entered the court, Ju An realized that it was different from what he had seen on TV. The space was very small, and there were only a few rows of auditoriums at the back. There were only high judges' seats and two rows facing the judges.

There is a wooden table and there are seats for the jury.

Henry took Ju An and Wang Fan to sit in front of the wooden table on the right, and then Henry said to the two of them: "When the conference controller asks you a question, you look at me first. If I nod, you will answer.

If I don’t nod, I’m protesting. The judge asks you to answer and you answer, that’s basically it.”

Ju An looked around and said to Henry: "Why are there so few people? I thought every time I tried a case, it was like there were so many people on TV."

Henry explained with a smile: "Our small case has little impact. It has basically no media attention and will not be heard in a big court."

Ju An followed and nodded, and then looked around. The wooden wall skirt that was as tall as one person, the top and the ceiling were all white. The entire court was in two colors, dark maroon and white, which gave people a more solemn feeling.

After waiting for a few minutes, several people in suits and ties came in. Then they watched Henry shake hands with them all, and then came back and said to Ju An: "The prosecution is here." Ju An said

After thinking about it, An thought it might be equivalent to our domestic procuratorate.

After a while, the judge arrived. Everyone stood up, waiting for an old black judge in his fifties to arrive. When the judge sat down, he announced: "The trial of Ju An and Wang Fan in the Brookline District Court of New York was indecent.

The crime case is now open, please state the charges."

Then he watched a white man in a suit stand up from the long wooden table: "We accused Mr. Ju An and Mr. Wang Fan of having sex on the night of x, month x, x year, and the woman who was made up by us

The police caught him on the spot. We have the evidence of the recording recorded by Officer Cora, and the evidence of fifty dollars that Mr. Wang Fan handed over to Officer Cora. ​​We believe that the above two gentlemen did violate the law." After saying that, he sat down.

Come down.

The judge asked: "What does the defense lawyer have to say?"

Henry stood up and said: "Both of my clients are innocent. Both of my clients are well-educated. No one will believe that my two clients would do such a thing as soliciting prostitutes.

Mr. Judge, this is a slander against my two clients."

The judge looked at the empty position and said: "The prosecution provides evidence."

Then the white man in a suit stood up again and said to the judge: "Your Honor, I request that my witness, Officer Cora, be allowed to appear in court."

The judge nodded, and then Ju An saw the street blocking girl from yesterday, who was wearing a police uniform today. At this glance, Ju An found that Wang Fan was really discerning, with blond hair, big blue eyes, and healthy skin.

Wheat color, the body is not the sickly thin figure of urban girls, the blue police uniform adds a bit of sassiness, the face looks a bit like Blake Lively, although the face looks a bit older, but

But it has a different style.

Policewoman Cora stood on the witness stand, took the oath, and sat down.

The white man from the prosecution asked: "Please describe what happened at that time in front of the judges and the jury."

Then I heard Officer Cora recount the story. After listening to it, Ju An felt that the woman did not add any exaggeration and it was basically true.

The prosecutor then said, "Please identify the man who was driving the car and the man who handed you fifty dollars." Cora then pointed at Ju An and Wang Fan.

At the judge's signal, Henry walked to the witness box and asked: "How many times has Officer Cora held this kind of job?"

The prosecutor immediately stood up and shouted: "I object, Mr. Judge, this has nothing to do with this case."

The judge asked: "Defense, please explain your reasons."

Unexpectedly, Henry immediately said, sorry. Then he asked: "Then how did you communicate with the prostitute? Is it the same accent as in the tape just now?"

Cora said: "Yes".

Henry asked: "Do you know where Mr. Wang Fan who is talking to you comes from?"

Cora replied: "I came to New York from China to travel."

Henry looked at Cora and said with a smile: "What do you think of my two clients' English?"

“Everything is good and I can speak fluently”

Henry turned around and said, "Mr. Judge, please summon our witnesses to appear in court." He looked at the judge and nodded. A white woman in her thirties sat on the witness stand.

Henry walked over and asked, "Have you ever worked in the Manhattan Police Department? In the past few years, you have also made up to be a street blocker and arrested sex buyers."

The woman replied: "Yes".

"If the two young men opposite invited you to enter his car, would you enter?" Henry asked, pointing to Ju An and Wang Fan.

"No, that would be very dangerous," the woman replied, shaking her head.

"Suppose you got in the car, how would you talk to the men, and what methods would you use to prompt them to express their thoughts?" Henry asked.

The woman said, "It's difficult in this situation. The sex buyers who let you get on the bus are usually veterans, and they usually make demands after getting on the bus, that is, they ask you to reveal your nakedness to them, so as to judge you."

Is it the police or not? If they don’t mention it, then I will ask him to say words or hints that imply transaction.”

Henry interjected: "Like Officer Cora did?".

The woman nodded and said, "Yes."

Henry nodded and continued to ask: "Then will they directly mention words like prostitution?"

"No, they won't mention this kind of word. When talking, they will avoid this kind of word. When giving you money, they will say, this is the money I donated for your child to go to college, or to buy toys, etc.

That way even if you are caught you won’t be able to accuse him.”

"Based on your personal experience, after listening to the prosecution's evidence just now, what do you think are the chances that the two people over there are sex seekers?" Henry asked again.

The woman replied: "I think the chance is low. One of the two men barely intervened in the topic, and the other man did not mention anything in the entire conversation to circumvent the law."

Henry looked at the jury and then asked: "Is it because the female police officer is not allowed to get into the suspect's car because it is for the purpose of protecting the female police officer that you try not to get into other people's cars?".

"Yes, the vast majority of people who let women on the street get on the bus were unable to file a complaint in the end, and for a female police officer to face one or several men alone, her personal safety will be threatened to a certain extent, which is why it is required to try not to let women

The reason why the police boarded the pleasure bus”.

Henry said: "Mr. Judge, I have finished asking questions."

Then the judge wanted to signal to the prosecution, and then the prosecution stood up and asked: "When did you join the police force?"

The woman replied: "Seven years ago."

The prosecution asked again: "Why did you leave the police station?".

"I'm married and have a child, and the child needs my care," the woman replied. Then she signaled the judge to finish her questions and returned to her seat.

Henry stood up again and asked the judge that he wanted to ask Ju An some questions. When Ju An got to the witness stand, he asked: "Excuse me, why did you stop to let this lady get in the car?"

Ju An said: "Not long after I came to the United States, it started to rain heavily as soon as I left the airport in a town in Montana, and I couldn't find a taxi. At this time, a man drove me to the place enthusiastically.

So if anyone wants a ride, I will stop and give them a ride." Ju An had rehearsed this answer with Henry a long time ago, and it sounded catchy in front of everyone.

Henry then asked: "Then do you think Officer Cora wants a ride?"

Ju An nodded and said, "Yes." Then Henry signaled to the judge that he had finished asking questions and returned to his seat.

At this time, the prosecution asked to question Wang Fan. When Wang Fan took the witness stand, the prosecution walked up to Wang Fan and asked: "Why do you think this situation was a girl with revealing clothes trying to hitchhike?"

Before he finished speaking, Henry jumped up and said: "Mr. Judge, I object. Clothing cannot be the criterion for judging the girl who blocks the street. The prosecution is seducing witnesses."

The judge said: "The objection is valid. The prosecution should pay attention to your words."

The prosecution then asked: "Then how do you usually identify street blockers?".

Wang Fan glanced at Henry and saw him nodding his head and said: "The lights on the roadside were very bright at that time, and the lights in the surrounding shops were on. In our country, street blockers would not appear under such bright lights, because

The police work very seriously and crack down on illegal crimes too harshly. I think what she wears is her own business if she wears revealing clothes." Wang Fan's answer made the prosecution a little embarrassed. This is a slap in the face. China is blocking

The street girls are all driven into dark places. The American street girls are blocked from the bright lights. How can you make the American police feel so embarrassed?

After asking the two people a few more questions, the controller sat back down at the table.
