"Brother, what's the matter? Your Nike company has any thoughts on this Simpson? He has retired and his influence may have dropped a lot."
Mo Lan was a little curious as to why Liu Lang asked this person.
"Nike signed him back then, but the contract ended after two years. This person has a bad personality and I don't like him!"
"Haha, these words are domineering. Yes, this guy is also quite controversial. He is famous for marrying a white wife. Especially many black people are dissatisfied with him, saying that he fights fiercely with white people every day and looks down on black brothers. In short, he is a "white eye"
Wolf"!"
Mo Lan looked at Liu Lang and smiled.
“Sister, what day is today?”
Liu Lang suddenly asked.
"Oh? You can still forget the date? It's really rare. Today is May 26th!"
"May 26th, there's still a week left!"
Liu Lang said to himself.
"What's one more week? What's going to happen in one week?"
Moran asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Liu Lang smiled.
What will happen in a week? This is a big event, that is, Simpson's murder of his wife will occur on June 2, 1994, in Los Angeles.
Late at night on June 2, 1994, in a luxury residential area in west Los Angeles, a dog kept barking, which attracted the attention of neighbors. Two bloody bodies were found in front of a residence.
The deceased woman was later confirmed to be Nicole Brown Simpson, and behind her was Ronald Goldman, a waiter in the restaurant. Both of them were covered in blood, and their throats were cut with a sharp weapon.
In the early morning after the incident, four police detectives came to the residence of Simpson, the deceased's ex-husband, and found his white Ford Mustang SUV stained with blood outside the door, and blood stains were also found on the driveway. No one responded when he rang the bell, and the detectives crawled to the door.
After breaking in, one of the detectives, Forman, found a blood-stained glove and other evidence in the back garden.
When it was close to 11 o'clock, I saw a tall black man who looked like Simpson. He hurriedly ran back from the street to the house. He rang the doorbell again and Simpson responded, came out and said he was asleep, and then took a car to the airport to go to Chicago.
In the early morning after the incident, Simpson was notified by the police of his ex-wife's death in a Chicago hotel and rushed back to California early in the morning. At that time, the police found Simpson injured. He explained that he was too excited to receive the news of his ex-wife's death and broke the mirror and was injured. After several days, the police
After investigation, it was decided to list him as the main suspect and prepare to arrest him.
When Simpson's lawyer was preparing to accompany Simpson back to the police station, he discovered that he had disappeared while he was resting upstairs. Then viewers across the country saw unforgettable footage on TV: a helicopter team in the sky and patrol cars on the ground were deployed in full force.
Simpson's white car was finally found within hours. Dozens of police cars launched a speed chase on Los Angeles highways, and he was eventually arrested.
This case immediately caused a national sensation. When Simpson was arrested, a helicopter was broadcast live over the United States. Especially when the court sentenced the following year, it created a miracle.
On October 3, 1995, when the verdict in the Simpson case was about to be announced, the entire United States came to a standstill.
At that time, US President Clinton postponed the launch of military aircraft and Secretary of State Baker postponed his speech; Wall Street stock market transactions were light; long-distance phone lines were silent.
Thousands of police officers, heavily armed, were on the streets of Los Angeles as if facing a formidable enemy.
CNN statistics show that approximately 1.4 billion Americans watched or listened to the final verdict of the "Trial of the Century."
But it was not over yet. The result was the most bloody. When everyone thought that this guy would be punished by law, the jury finally found him not guilty and released him in court.
This caused an uproar in the United States and triggered a national debate.
After the verdict was read out, there were two completely different reactions in the United States. A white woman burst into tears and sighed: America is finished. More people showed expressions of surprise, disbelief and helplessness.
In the areas where black people concentrated, it was a different scene. They cheered, were ecstatic, and even sang and danced, celebrating their own victory without any scruples. They were excited for several days.
Some media commented that the biggest problem reflected in this case is that the ideological racial opposition in American society is still obvious.
Before and after the verdict, the contrasting attitudes of different Americans were even more surprising.
According to a questionnaire survey before the verdict, 74% of white people believed the defendant was guilty, while 77% of black people believed he was innocent. The survey after the verdict was still similar.
This result shows the antagonism between whites and blacks in the United States. After the verdict, prosecutor Clark said: Although liberals do not want to admit this, it is impossible for a jury dominated by blacks to make a decision in such a case.
A fair verdict. This statement caused an uproar in the media and pointed directly at the root of the conflict.
This case can be called the major case of the century. Both parties spent a total of 50 million US dollars on litigation fees. Simpson hired a luxurious team of lawyers for 30 million US dollars, and the local court also spent 20 million US dollars to form a legal team.
With the super-scale public prosecution team, both sides acted in a life-or-death manner.
The final result was a resounding slap in the face to the American judicial system, and even affected the foundation of the judiciary. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the case of the century.
The importance of this case can be imagined. There are almost no people in the United States who don't know about it. There are also many people who have become famous through this case. For example, the most famous one is Simpson's defense lawyer Robert Kardashian.
He became famous and became the most famous barrister in the United States, thus reaching the pinnacle of his life.
Not only did he reach the top, but his family also benefited from it, especially his daughters who later became well-known reality show stars in the United States. NBA fans even called these women the best defensive players in the NBA because of all the people who followed him.
Almost all the football stars they have dated have become useless.
There is also Li Changyu, a Chinese forensic expert. It was his favorable evidence that reversed Simpson's unfavorable situation. Otherwise, it is hard to say what would have happened in the end.
And this time Liu Lang also wanted to "get some credit". This case is about to happen in a week, and the location happens to be in Los Angeles, which is Liu Lang's destination this time. Asia International Satellite TV also has a branch there.
We already have the department, time, and location, so why not go and “check out the spots” in advance?
Liu Lang doesn't care about the truth of this matter. He just wants to get in touch with the case as soon as possible and send out the news about the case. By then, Asia International TV will take advantage of the situation to become famous again. This is Liu Lang's
Purpose.
Moreover, Liu Lang also has a trump card, that is, one of the partners of Lin's firm is Robert Kardashian.
In fact, Liu Lang met each other as early as years ago, when he had just arrived in the United States. Lin Zequan's father "pulled" Liu Lang into Lin's firm. This Robert Kardashian and Lin Zequan's sister Lin Liwan were familiar with each other, and they were already familiar with each other at that time.
He was a relatively well-known lawyer. Later, with the help of Liu Lang, Lin's law firm grew bigger and bigger. Now it is one of the top ten law firms in the United States, with branches in more than ten major cities in the United States.
This Robert Kardashian also later became a partner.
Liu Lang is also one of the partners of Lin's firm. Shengtang Company's legal partner is Lin, including Norinco, which also cooperates with Lin, and many domestic companies also have cooperative relationships with Lin.
It's Liu Lang's relationship. In fact, if it weren't for Liu Lang, it's hard to say whether Lin's firm would be able to survive now.
It’s not that the Lin family is incompetent. Four generations of the Lin family have been engaged in legal work. They are indeed a legal family. Lin Zequan and his sister Lin Liwan are still studying law in well-known universities in the United States. They are among the best. Their skills are very good in Hong Kong Island, but they can’t be in the United States.
It's not enough, because the American lawyer
There are too many. If you want to get ahead, you really need someone to support you. If you have someone to help you, you may be able to succeed. Without someone to support you, you will not even have a chance. Liu Lang is their noble person.
They have a lot of resources, and they have seized these opportunities.
Of course, no matter how big or famous Lin's firm is, it cannot compare with Shengtang Company. There is not even a slight difference between the two.
