Chapter 2212

When the time comes...you will understand.

Senator Langdon vaguely understood something, but he didn't fully understand it.

It was originally planned that the Yorkists would have a party in the evening, but because Senator Langdon is currently in the "news".

His attendance will definitely attract the attention of many reporters. Although the existence of the York Gang is not illegal and does not affect the operation of the federal government, it is a little bit uncomfortable for the behavior of "forming a faction". suitable for reporting.

And he is the core figure, so this gathering can only be temporarily suspended.

Anyway, everyone will stay here for a long time. Many proposals were submitted to Congress today, and each proposal needs to be reviewed and voted on.

Therefore, members of Congress will be relatively busy during this period. On the one hand, they will work in various committees, and on the other hand, they will work on legislation in Congress. Members of the House of Representatives will work harder, and no one will leave.

After the trial of the case is over, he will gather everyone together, and there will be no risk of public opinion.

The influence of this case is actually greater than Senator Langdon himself imagined.

In the evening, on the TV, he saw the lawyers who were going to represent the two victims for free.

His expression and emotions are calm, and the young man on TV is calling for people's attention and attention.

After the show ended, he was still a little uneasy, so he called Lynch.

The call was quickly connected.

"I, Langdon, did you read the news just now?"

Lynch picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. The last news on the TV had ended, but what was being broadcast still had something to do with Senator Langdon's son.

It may be that nothing major has happened in the Federation recently, so such news can be frequently shown on TV.

It may also be because of Senator Langdon's special status that he has attracted people's attention.

At this time, the host was discussing the issue of judicial compensation, guessing how much Senator Langdon would spend if he wanted to obtain the understanding of the victims, especially the family members of the deceased.

Active compensation is one of the manifestations of repentance at any time and anywhere, and it is also one of the important manifestations.

In the past two days, the family members of the deceased said that they would never reconcile even if it was 100 million yuan. They had no other demands, but hoped that Senator Langdon's son would be executed.

To use his death to comfort the passing of his own child!
It's an amazing statement, so it has become a hot topic of discussion among people, and some people even think...why isn't the deceased someone their own?

There can be many people, as long as they are born.

But 100 million is not something everyone can earn.

Lynch returned his attention from the TV to the phone, "Yes, I just watched it, what's wrong?"

Senator Langdon took a deep breath, "I'm a little uneasy. Almost all the TV shows are reporting on these things. Its influence is much greater than we imagined..."

Lynch interrupted him, "Are you worried that the result will exceed our expectations?"

"Yes, I'm worried about that."

Lynch put down the things in his hands, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the lawyer said that he will be fine. Maybe life in prison is not easy, but this will make him mature."

"That's not what I'm worried about..." Senator Langdon's voice was very calm, "I'm worried that the public opinion will be biased by some people."

"We all know that there are many people at the bottom of society who hate people like us. Now is a very special period, if this kind of hatred is mobilized."

"The case itself will become less important, and the contradictions and hatred will be concentrated on me."

Lynch thought for a while, Senator Langdon's worries were normal.

There will never be a shortage of conspiracy theorists in federal society, especially at the bottom of federal society.

In the eyes of these people, their poverty is not because they are not working hard enough, nor because they are not lucky enough, but simply because this society is controlled by a group of conspirators.

So they have no chance to become a successful person, and they think that all the things that are not in their own interests are the result of conspiracy and manipulation!
There are many such people and they have many dangerous ideas. Usually these ideas will not be of much use in their boring lives.

In addition to complaining about work and politics when drinking too much, it can only be used to prove that "only I am sober."

But once someone aroused the emotions of these people, they found a point to vent, and focused the problem on Senator Langdon.

Regardless of the outcome of the final trial of the case, it will be a heavy blow to Senator Langdon.

Lynch also frowned, "What are you going to do?"

"My thoughts are... let him be on the victim's side..."

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the lawyer in charge of the case was about to rest, when a phone call came to him.

A few minutes later, he sat back at his desk and began to write a proposal again.

The next morning, the lawyer arrived with a briefcase outside the current home of the girl in the case, where she now lives with her family.

This is a single-family house in a middle-class community. Although it is a single-family house, it is not a villa.

The villa has more supporting facilities, but here, there are only small yards at the front and back.

There were quite a few reporters outside the courtyard, and they were exchanging some gossip. Obviously, the community service company did not have the "freedom of the press" that could stop them.

The lawyer strode towards the house of the girl's family, and the reporters also started taking pictures for the reporter who suddenly appeared.

Someone who knew him pointed out his name and law firm.

This made many reporters excited.

The lawyer representing the girl has been determined, and the arrival of this lawyer is obviously not to help the girl get justice.

Isn't the purpose of hiring a barrister for this kind of case to minimize the consequences?
This is completely contrary to what Senator Langdon has publicly stated. The reporters crowded towards the lawyer, and they pushed the microphones in their hands to the front of their limbs, asking roughly the same questions——

"Did Senator Langdon invite you to plead not guilty for his son?"

Generally speaking, when lawyers represent a case, they will defend the client in two ways.

guilty plea, and not guilty plea.

The purpose of the guilty defense is to minimize the sentence and reduce the consequences in the case of being unable to get rid of the crime.

This kind of case is actually not much easier than the defense of innocence, and it is even more difficult to achieve a satisfactory result, because the nature and relationship of the case have been determined.

It's so damn hard to win the judge's approval with supplementary evidence and eloquence!

The defense of innocence is the defense that the party did not commit a crime.

This seems difficult, but it is not too difficult when the case is not qualitative, the relationship is not confirmed, and the criminal evidence and facts are not confirmed.

As long as the money is in place and there is enough ability, it is easier than pleading guilty.

Such a big-name lawyer came to the door, it must be enough to defend the guilt.

The reporters were excited, and the evening news was back.

The lawyer didn't answer them, but knocked on the door and handed over his business card.

The girl's parents were hesitant, but still welcomed the lawyer inside.

The family sat on the sofa, and the lawyer found a chair and sat across from them.

He watches the girl.

In fact, the girl didn't suffer too much damage. According to the information she received, she was only scratched on her arm and needed eleven stitches.

Other than that, there is no other injury, and these wounds are not even considered injuries in major criminal cases!

"This visit was unplanned and I wanted to have a word with you."

The family was a little cautious, but nodded.

"Relax!" He smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes, "Do you need any?"

The girl took one, and her father also took one. After the cigarettes were lit, the atmosphere eased a lot.

The lawyer said very directly, "Mr. Langdon invited me to defend his son...", as soon as he said this, the family became tense.

He quickly explained, "But you don't have to worry, Mr. Langdon doesn't want me to exonerate his son, but hopes that he will be judged according to the law."

"If nothing happens, he will stay in there for a long time."

After these words were spoken, the girl's family obviously relaxed a little, and her father even said "unbelievable"!

"Yes, hard to believe, but that's what Mr. Langdon told me when he commissioned me."

"As a lawyer, when my employer asks me to stand in the middle of the case, I don't take sides with anyone."

"If he deserves the death penalty, then I'm not going to acquit him."

"But in the same way, if he does not deserve the death penalty, then I will find the truth and let him get what he deserves, not excessive punishment."

The girl's father frowned slightly, "What do you mean by these words?"

The lawyer glanced at the girl who kept her head down and smoked, and then looked at his father, "Your daughter and my client have been in a relationship, someone can prove it, and it's not just one person."

"More importantly, the room where the homicide occurred was opened under the name of my client."

"As an adult, you should understand what I mean by these words..."

At present, the only victim in the whole case, that is, the girl told the outside that she was skiing with her boyfriend, and then met the person involved.

The parties pestered them, and a quarrel ensued, after which they, considering the repercussions, proposed to return to the room to discuss these matters.

Not long after returning to the room, a more intense quarrel broke out, and then the party killed the deceased with a knife, while she hid in the bathroom and escaped unharmed.

No one doubts the girl's words, which is why the social sentiment is one-sided.

Can the rich and powerful "young master" kill civilians at will?
Do not!
no way!
