Chapter 2483

Before the trial, Lynch arrived outside the court on time.

Many people have gathered here, including many reporters.

Someone saw Lynch coming and shouted "Mr. Lynch", and then a large group of reporters came around, surrounding Lynch in the middle.

Behind the bodyguards, these reporters loudly asked questions they were interested in, such as "Mr. Lynch, you and Mr. Langdon are very good friends. Is there any power-money transaction between you?"

Anyway, with so many people speaking out suddenly, it would be difficult for Lynch to tell who said it.

Everyone is asking their own questions, and it seems that if you don't answer two, you won't be able to leave today.

Lynch stopped in his tracks and gestured for everyone to be quiet.

He then picked two questions to answer.

"I can't answer every question from all of you. I can only answer two of the representative questions I just heard."

"The first question is, do I have the right to trade money with Senator Langdon?"

"I think the person who asked this question must have a devil in his heart, and at the same time, he is a bit stupid. The person who asked this question is stupid and evil."

"Senator Langdon and I have known each other for a long time, more than ten years. From the day we met, we can say that there is no transaction between us because of power or economics."

"Never have, and don't need to."

"No matter where I invest, the local politicians will promote various preferential policies for me."

"Because what I bring besides funds, there are many jobs!"

"Look, even our former enemies, Peng Jieao, they all smiled and bowed down when facing my investment."

"I can say that the mayor of any city cannot refuse my investment."

"After Senator Langdon entered Congress, there was no overlap in business with mine, so naturally we couldn't have any behind-the-scenes deals."

"We're friends, like I said, friends for ten years."

"The second question is whether I would interfere with the course of justice for Senator Langdon."

"If the person who asked the first question was a stupid and bad guy, then the person who asked this question is just stupid and not even bad."

"So stupid that people don't know whether to laugh or get angry!"

"I respect the federal charter and the laws of each region. I am no different from you before the judiciary. I firmly believe that everyone is equal before the law."

"If Senator Langdon is really guilty, I will definitely not do anything to exonerate him. I will think that no matter what consequences he has, he deserves it."

"Similarly, if the law finds him not guilty then that is a proven result of the law, not a result of my manipulation."

"I don't have that much energy to manipulate federal laws."

He paused while speaking, looking at the reporters who were taking shorthand, he smiled slightly, "That's it, after the trial is over, if you have any questions, it's better for you to ask the parties directly."

Lynch patted the bodyguard on the shoulder, and the bodyguards pushed through the crowd, allowing Lynch to enter the courtroom.

He found a place to sit down. At this time, many people had already arrived, and many people's eyes were focused on him.

Some people heard what he said outside, and some didn't.

But everyone knows that as long as some people come, even if they don't say or do anything, they have already made enough "signs".

Lynch, who had come back unexpectedly for this trial during Penteeau's visit, certainly hadn't come to see Senator Langdon's misfortune.

Then the purpose of his return is obvious.

As he sat here, without saying a word, the atmosphere in the courtroom had already changed.

Because it involved a senator, it was the judge who came. The judge put the documents on the table, and after the people around him stood up, he casually glanced at the court.

Then unexpectedly, but not so unexpectedly, he saw Lynch.

He glanced at Senator Langdon sitting on the plaintiff's table, and many thoughts had already flashed through his mind.

As the trial officially started, the two sides submitted evidence, accused and defended each other, this trial was actually not as exciting or exciting as the trial in artistic creation.

The lawyer hired by Senator Langdon has nothing to do with Lynch on the surface, but the law firm he works in is indirectly controlled by an asset management company controlled by Lynch.

Lynch also saw the justice sitting on it at an event held by Connor.

The Ministry of Justice actually needs the support of the president more than other departments. The president can appoint lifelong justices, provide reliable support to the Ministry of Justice, or directly use presidential prerogatives to destroy the judicial system.

So basically no matter who comes to power, the Department of Justice is a department that is closer to the president.

The ex-husband accused in court that all of this stemmed from Senator Langdon's extortion and framing. He asked himself for money, and then found that the matter could not be resolved or he did not want to resolve it, so he reported him.

The evidence he submitted actually lacks key information, but it cannot be said that there is no doubt at all.

At this point, it’s time to start competing on the abilities of the lawyers on both sides.

Obviously, the lawyers hired by Senator Langdon are more professional, and the gold medal lawyers of the three major law firms are definitely not a joke.

The more high-end lawyers are, the more they have their own specialized classification.

It's like some lawyers only deal with divorce and property division lawsuits, while others only deal with murder charges. In this field, they are basically invincible!
The Commonwealth is a society ruled by men, and the laws of reason and reason come last. As long as the lawyer's words are strong enough to convince the judge to accept his statement, right and wrong are not so important.

The trial didn't last long. After forty minutes, the judge announced a temporary adjournment and announced the result in court.

During the 10-minute break, Lynch and Senator Langdon came to the corner outside the house, and people spontaneously stayed away from them.

Senator Langdon looked sullen, a look he hadn't seen in a long time.

Ever since the York Gang was born and he became the core, he never thought that such a day would come.

"This damn guy is going to use these things to blackmail me and control me!", his voice was full of anger.

Obviously, he also realized that if he didn't call the police immediately, then he would be in more trouble.

He didn't even know that the ex-husband actually took a lot of photos to prove that he was "involved" in it.

Lynch comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, there will be no reversal in this case. Everyone knows what his purpose is for doing this."

Senator Langdon took a deep breath, held it in for a while, and then let it out.

"I've got to do something, Lynch, if I don't do anything, people will think I'm a bully."

"I wouldn't care if I was still mayor, but I'm a senator now."

"If I'm offended and don't fight back, a lot of people will be ready to move."

Lynch also nodded in agreement, "What are you going to do?"

Senator Langdon took another deep puff of the cigarette, the ring of fire on the cigarette butt moved quickly, and there was only about one centimeter of cigarette left in the cigarette holder.

He took off the cigarette with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and threw it on the ground hard, sparks flew everywhere, and he even stepped on it.

"I heard it's very dangerous in prison..."

Lynch thought about it, "I'll arrange this."

The 10 minutes passed quickly, and it didn't take long before someone came out to remind me that the court was going to be reopened and the result was announced.

During these 10 minutes, the chief judge also made several phone calls later. After finally confirming that the case could indeed be decided according to his ideas, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After the re-opening of the court, he announced the result in court——

Senator Langdon was found guilty of bribery and frame-up against his ex-husband, but his ex-husband's counter-suit against Senator Langdon for extorting bribes was not established, and the case will not be filed for further investigation.

The ex-husband was sentenced to twelve months in prison and fined. The reason for such a light sentence was because of two attempted charges.

Bribe, money not received.

Framed, and was accused before it had time.

It did not cause serious consequences and social impact, and the justices adopted a relatively conservative result as the final ruling.

The ex-husband expressed dissatisfaction and requested an appeal in court, which is also his basic right.

A second trial will follow, but largely, the outcome will not change.

After walking out of the court, the results of this case and part of the process were also selectively made public.

In fact, anyone with a brain can see what the ex-husband’s purpose is through the evidence and the court process.

Except for a few people who want to do something that others don't know about through this matter, basically public opinion is still on the right side.

Federal Daily published their comments with a picture of Senator Lynch and Senator Landon opening the door of the same car at the same time.

There is nothing amazing about the article itself, but this picture won this year's news award.

This photo has an independent name - "Justice"

Whether it is irony or narrative is hard to say, but it is indeed a very special photo, and there are indeed many places that can be interpreted.

Later, Lynch found the professor.

Upon meeting, the professor apologized to Lynch for the incident.

"...This has nothing to do with you. I know that you are divorced, and I know his purpose and thoughts very well about the things he did."

"So you don't have to apologize, it's his fault, not yours."

Lynch's words made the professor slightly relieved. She didn't want to be recorded as the chairman of the Progressive Party committee with the shortest serving time in party history.

Lynch will not hold her accountable, but she still has to say nice things.

"If there's anything I can do to make up for the hurt feelings he's done, please do let me know, I'll do anything!"

Lynch pursed his lips after hearing this, "Langdon is very angry, he hopes to vent his anger, but he is your ex-husband, we have to take care of your emotions."

"If you feel..."

The professor immediately shook his head, "No, he really deserves a lesson, he asked for it!"
