Seeing the prosecution sitting back, Henry stood up and said to the judge: "Your Honor, please let me show you our new evidence."
Judge Lao Hei crossed his hands under his chin and nodded: "Okay."
Henry then played Ju An's recording again, and then said to the jury: "The recording just now was recorded by Mr. Ju, one of my two clients. Did you notice that it basically has nothing to do with the police?"
The recordings provided are almost the same, except for two more lines of dialogue in Chinese. Now I would like to ask if any of the jurors understand Chinese."
One of the middle-aged Chinese jurors raised his hand and said, "I understand Chinese."
Henry smiled and said to the juror: "Then please tell the other jurors what these two sentences mean in Chinese."
The Chinese juror translated: "One of the two defendants thought that Officer Cora was the kind of person who introduced guests to hotels and then took commissions on drinks. The other thought that Officer Cora wanted to take them to visit New York, so he paid
Give Officer Cora fifty dollars as a deposit and ask her to take the two of them on a tour the next night."
After hearing this, Henry waved his hands and said: "If you still have questions about the previous questions, I think this conversation has solved all the problems. That is my two clients. They are both well-educated. Among them, Mr. Ju, Mr.
When he came to New York for the first time, he also donated money to charity. Mr. Wang, who has a travel company in China, is now cooperating with several ranches in Montana to do travel. They came to New York just to visit.
The scenery of New York, feel the charm of New York as the economic capital of the world, but I believe that these two gentlemen may not have much good impression of New York, because our New York police officers have subjectively assumed my commission from the beginning to the end.
people".
The prosecution immediately stood up and said: "We object. The methods used by our police are legal. Our police officer Kola made sexual suggestions to the two suspects many times. The two suspects did not clearly refuse. The final
The tape cannot completely deny the behavior of the two suspects. Just as a witness just said in the testimony provided, veterans of buying sex are relatively cunning. It may be a way for the two suspects to get out of the lawsuit."
The judge said: "The objection is invalid, defense lawyer, please continue."
Henry nodded towards the judge and continued: "First of all, Officer Cora did not refuse the invitation of two men to enter someone else's car, and got in the car. The lady above has already mentioned that, under normal circumstances,
Female police officers don’t know how to get on the bus, so why did our Officer Cora get on the bus? I have Officer Cora’s information here." He picked up a document from the table and handed it to the judge, and then said: "I just joined the police force.
Less than a year old, he is a newcomer and is eager to be recognized by his peers. Look at what his boss said about this police officer. It says, "Perseverance and passion for fighting crime." And this police officer Cora received the job this month.
Two complaints were filed about her law enforcement issues, but they did not attract the attention of our police department. Persistence sometimes turns into extreme, and passion can turn into impulsiveness."
The man in his forties who was prosecuting immediately stood up again and objected loudly: "We protest, this is an insult to the hard work of an excellent police officer, Mr. Judge!".
The judge looked at Henry and said: "The protest is valid."
After hearing this, Henry changed the topic: "Then let's take a look at the cases that have been convicted in New York in the past year. Here are the cases in which more than a dozen female police officers were used as bait to arrest suspects and were sentenced." After finishing speaking,
Pointing to the thick pile of information on the table: "Mr. Judge, gentlemen of the jurors, these cases have one similarity, that is, the suspects have taken off their clothes or had further physical contact, and then were
He was found guilty, and the law agrees that the arrest by the police is legal. One condition is that there is further action, which is conscious physical contact. However, of my two clients, one of them was driving at the time, and the other, from the police
Judging from the information, there was no mention that the two or one of them had undressed or had any signs of physical contact with Officer Cora."
When the prosecution heard this, they argued: "They were arrested before one of the gentlemen came into contact."
Henry smiled at the jury: "Arrested under what name? Having sex with a beautiful young woman? Of course, the premise is that you don't know that this young girl is a policeman and wants to catch you and throw you into jail. The policeman
The arrest itself was illegal. My two clients showed no signs of further physical contact with Officer Cora after handing him fifty dollars, let alone the information we provided.
The evidence has proven that my clients were just gentlemen picking up a lady who wanted to hitchhike. I also do not deny that from the recording, one of my clients may seem to have a crush on Officer Cora, a young man.
It is a God-given right of a young man to fall in love with a young girl, and our police officers wanted to take advantage of it and send my client to jail."
Henry continued: "Both of my clients graduated from prestigious universities in China. Although I don't know much about Chinese universities and don't know what this university is like, I checked and found out the acceptance rate of this university in China.
It is one in 12, which is much higher than our admission rate of Harvard and Yale. Looking at their records, they are completely clean. They don’t even have a speeding ticket. Mr. Ju gets the maximum discount when buying car insurance.
My two clients are good, law-abiding citizens, well-educated, quality-oriented and caring people. They are currently living in one of the most luxurious hotels in New York. How likely is it that people like them would be against a person?
Is the lowest street blocker interested?".
Ju An down here just doesn’t understand Henry. Rich people can’t find street blockers at the bottom? What kind of logic is this? Let you defend us and we are not guilty. What are you talking about about quality of life, good education and the like?
It’s a relationship.
Henry continued: "Look at the previous cases, among so many cases, not a single female police officer got into the suspect's car and the suspect was convicted. Look, this female police officer Cora,
Faced with the situation of two young and powerful men, most of the female police officers refused to even get into the car with a man driving. Why? Perhaps in the heart of Officer Cora
Telling her that my two clients are not dangerous and even seem to be two highly educated and polite gentlemen, she then gets in the car and speaks in her Brooklynese that even many native-born Americans cannot understand.
The Grammar accent weaves a trap for my two clients. As for the only thing that can be heard clearly in the recording is service, to your satisfaction, what kind of crime is this? When did the English dictionary define service as *transaction?
Are you satisfied with the definition of a woman selling her body? Is it because I am old and slept for decades last night?".
"The defense lawyer is making subjective assumptions about the witness's thoughts, which cannot be used as evidence, your honor."
"Your Honor! What prompted Officer Cora to get in the car? Was it because my two clients looked Asian?"
"Your Honor! I protest that in our law enforcement process, there is no racial discrimination at all. The defense lawyer is completely slanderous."
"Watch what you say, defense lawyer. If you have evidence that the police committed any racial discrimination during the course of this case, then we will open a separate court to hear the case, and I will be happy to let those racists be punished." Black judge
said.
"I'm sorry, your honor, I didn't mention racial discrimination, I was just making assumptions about what drove Officer Cora to get into the car of my two clients."
The judge replied: "Put aside your inferences, you know that racial discrimination is much more serious than this case."
Wang Fan heard this and asked in a low voice: "Is the crime of racial discrimination very serious?".
Ju An said: "It is common in reality that people of color are not as easy to find jobs as white people, etc. There is a long list, but you can't say it, you can only do it. If you say it, it will be a big trouble."
Henry said sorry and then said: "Even according to the police's statement, my two clients did not take any further action at that time. When they were arrested, their clothes were neatly worn on him. This arrest was
It is illegal in itself, but the police department did not think about their own actions, and wanted to impose the consequences they caused on my two clients. Even after we presented the most favorable evidence, the prosecution was still looking for
Using excuses, they are still trying to pin the charges firmly on my two clients. What they care about is not justice, nor the consequences that two well-educated, clean and law-abiding citizens will suffer because of unfounded charges.
Accusations, even if they don't even get a small speeding ticket, our police officers only care about their image. They only write down what they imagine in their minds, hang it around other people's necks, and then send that person to jail.
Prison, and then we can tell the public that we have arrested another criminal. Gentlemen of the jurors, take a look at the records of these two gentlemen. They are as pure as a piece of white paper. Gentlemen of the jurors, I have finished."
After saying that, Henry walked to the long table and sat down.
The judge looked at it and said: "The court will be adjourned for ten minutes. The verdict will be announced in ten minutes. The two lawyers will follow me in shortly." After speaking, he knocked the small hammer and turned around and left the court.
Henry smiled and asked Ju An: "The conditions I propose are that no record will be left, the police department will apologize, the litigation costs will be borne by the police department, and the compensation will be two thousand dollars per person. What do you think?"
Ju An and Wang Fan looked at it and said, "It's up to you to compensate, and the rest must be paid." Wang Fan next to him also nodded.
Henry nodded, then left the court and went to the judge's room, along with the prosecution lawyer.
When the trial resumed, the judge first asked the jury to announce its results. The jury unanimously decided that Ju An and Wang Fan were not guilty.
Then the judge pronounced the verdict: "Mr. Ju An and Wang Fan were acquitted. The police station apologized to both gentlemen at the same time and paid all the litigation costs. They compensated each of the two gentlemen US$3,500. The verdict came into effect immediately!"
"After saying this, the judge's small wooden hammer fell down.
