Chapter 1962

Whether demanding more compensation is extortion has long been a complex issue.

The husband and wife were obviously frightened, and the lawyer opposite them continued to deepen the hidden dangers brought by this issue.

"If my client brings a lawsuit against you, there is a good chance that you will be charged with racketeering."

"And you should understand that with such a large amount, it is not a small case!"

The federal judiciary has great flexibility, and even in some states, when the amount involved is less than a certain base, it is not even considered a crime!
Likewise, when the amount involved exceeds a certain number, the problem becomes much more serious.

The husband and wife were frightened, and his wife Federation said, "We don't want to compensate..."

The man also said again and again, "Yes, yes, we don't want compensation!"

This sentence instead made the lawyer frown. If compensation is not required, the judge may take into account the emotions of the victim and the victim's family and impose a heavy sentence.

Moreover, this is not conducive to the law firm's reaping more wealth from it. A loss of 300 million is equivalent to a loss of 45 in income. This is not their goal.

Then the lawyer's brows relaxed, and he continued to use his expertise, "I didn't ask you to meet because I want you not to pay compensation."

"Although I was entrusted by the client to handle this case, in essence, I still hope that you can get financial compensation!"

"It's not about the position, but the justice in my heart. The victim can't get nothing, and the perpetrator can't get nothing."

"But this number should be relatively reasonable. I can give you a reference..."

In more than an hour of negotiations, the amount was finally locked at 300 million, which is actually far beyond the amount of compensation in similar cases.

In the words of a lawyer, he is a lawyer with a sense of justice but also a sense of professional responsibility.

The compensation he proposed is based on the standard of "punitive fines", in other words, if they pass the ordinary trial, they will not get the money.

But lawyers are willing to provide them with legal aid, and they will express in court the extent to which the perpetrators and their families realize their mistakes, and are willing to pay excessive punitive fines to seek forgiveness from the victims and their families.

Of course, the families of the victims also need to make corresponding demands.

On the one hand, I hope to be punished more, and on the other hand, I hope to be given more. The judge will not be a bad person!

After negotiating the amount, the lawyer put forward further ideas.

"We have expressed sufficient sincerity, and I believe you can feel it too!"

The couple nodded repeatedly, and the lawyer continued, "Then I also hope to make a small request. In court, I hope you can express to the judge that the boy and his family have already asked for your forgiveness..."

The forgiveness of the victim and family members is also one of the criteria for sentencing, which is actually a matter of attitude.

The couple also nodded repeatedly. The lawyer saw that the matter was almost done, and when they were about to end the successful negotiation, the two couples who had been submissive suddenly asked, "When will the money be given to us?"

Through their eyes, lawyers can see the prudence of people at the bottom of society, but they can also see their greed.

The greed in their eyes was undisguised, which made the lawyer feel a little ridiculous, but he had very good professionalism, so he didn't laugh.

He said softly, "After the court trial is over, we will call you the money according to the judicial process."

But the husband and wife had some problems with this most unlikely problem.

The man's attitude became a little tougher, "But in case you don't do what you said, wouldn't we get nothing?"

"I think the money should be given to us now, and we will forgive him only if it is given to us!"

Obviously, this is against the rules and does not conform to the judicial process.

In fact, the lawyer contacted the victim's family in advance, which was already a little illegal, but compared to giving money in advance...

The lawyer advocated his point of view and had to wait until the case was closed before he could pay the money, but at this time the couple became arrogant and unreasonable. This change made the lawyer feel a little strange.

But more, he still thinks that this is the greed of people at the bottom of society, and he looks down on this couple from the bottom of his heart.

The content of the original negotiation was successfully completed, but there were some problems beyond the content. It is hard to say whether this negotiation is right or wrong.

The lawyer suggested that everyone calm down and think about it first, and he then reported the matter to the Duke.

The lawyer made it very clear that it is not impossible to give, but that there may be some other legal problems after giving. If they suddenly repent, the case may become more complicated.

The Duke hesitated again and again, he really didn't want to delay this matter for too long, because of the issue of public opinion, the longer it was delayed, the more passive he would be!

"If I really encountered a problem with giving the money in advance, what is the most likely result?"

"Is there any way to circumvent this result?"

The lawyer thought about it for a while, and gave some explanations and suggestions. In fact, the consequences are not too serious.

Because of the nature of the case itself, and this is not a bribe, but just compensation for the family to forgive, the Duke is likely to face fines and community voluntary labor.

If some measures and means are added, for example, the two parties sign an additional compensation agreement before paying the money, then these problems can be avoided.

The Duke was not very clear about the federal laws, but he believed in the professionalism of these people, and then he made a decision and paid the money in advance.

Of course, when waiting for the trial, the victim will not claim punitive fines, because the money has already been paid in advance.

On the fourth day after the incident, Ms. Tracy stated in public that she would provide legal aid to the victims of the case, and also dispatch a psychologist to help the victim girl relieve some psychological problems that might exist.

At the same time, she also said that there are actually more teenagers and girls in the Federation who have suffered similar injuries.

Some happened on high school campuses, and some happened in society. She pointed out that this should not be viewed as an isolated incident, but should be regarded as a social phenomenon!
At the same time, she also hopes that the perpetrator can actively compensate, obtain the victim's forgiveness, and actively cooperate with the investigation of the judiciary.

"Everyone makes mistakes, the key is what we do after we make mistakes."

"Whether to escape, or to have the courage to face mistakes!"

Landa's words have aroused huge repercussions in the society, and voices about strengthening the moral ethics and legal awareness of colleges and universities reappeared.

Some adults also spoke about worrying about their children being bullied and otherwise harmed on high school campuses, including experiencing adult life too early.

Another part of the hot topic is on the way of facing mistakes, evasion, or facing mistakes!
These words quickly shifted the views of some people from a single case to this larger social issue.

Because this kind of thing is indeed happening constantly.

Judging from the current situation of the Federation, many people regard entering high school as the last three years of their lives.

Because as soon as high school is over, most people will go to the society and start working, and they can no longer be happy without worries.

Under such anxiety and employment pressure, boys and girls began to unscrupulously release their hormones...

At the same time, some child protection agencies have also spoken out.

These agencies believe that people should not focus on this case just because the perpetrators on both sides have special backgrounds.

In fact, there are many similar cases, and many girls are facing similar problems, and they are the group of people who need help more!

The two power organizations quickly diverted people's attention away, which also made the Duke realize the other side of the Federation!
You don't need the government to come forward, you don't need to hold privileges, as long as you have money, you can do things that you might not be able to do with privileges!

This incident also sounded the alarm for the Duke, and at the same time made him vaguely guess who was behind it!

Originally, the case was not complicated. The crime should be paid for, the forgiveness should be forgiven, and the agreement should be signed.

A week after the incident, the trial began.

Many people thought that this was just a simple trial process, but unexpectedly, the prosecutor's office suddenly presented some evidence to the court on the grounds that there was an illegal act between the defendant and the plaintiff.

Then the trial was terminated, and another case was opened for investigation...

"So next, he will be very busy?"

Queen Feline put down the newspaper in her hand and looked at Lynch very curiously.

A week is enough for her to accept the fact that Lynch is her adoptive father, and the documents from the Federation have already come down.

Judging from the federal law, the relationship between the two has been established, and Lynch has become the legal guardian of Queen Feilin.

Next, it was time to confer Lynch as the prince.

The two got along very happily, Lynch never put himself in the position of "adoptive father", he was more like a good friend!

He arranged for Queen Feline to play almost all of Bu Paine, and then planned to go to Laltmore and Benleat, these two cities are also very famous places in the Federation.

One is a movie city, and the other is a fashion capital.

With the federation's national power, military power, and influence, the trends they generated have begun to dominate the cultural waves of the world.

Every year, people from all over the world come here, come to study, come to join in!

At this time, Her Majesty's attention was still on the Duke, Lynch also put down the newspaper at this time, "Yes, he will be prosecuted for breach of justice soon, you know, he is a foreigner to this country."

"I have dredged up some relationships, and the court will eventually deport him and his family, and you will never see him again!"

Empress Feilin's face was filled with a smile, she said "thank you", and quickly threw herself into the newspaper.

Gefra's newspapers are boring, but the Federation's newspapers have a lot of interesting news, which is more interesting than reading storybooks!
Jenia, who was sitting by the side, glanced at Lynch, their eyes met, and she sighed softly after a while.

From Lynch's calm eyes, she noticed that the Duke was not just deported!
He might die!
But she won't say it out, she doesn't want the psychological pressure of becoming Queen Feilin, she just needs to be happy.

Because...she might not be happy for long!
