Chapter 1183 Mysterious Witness Chapter 1184 Triumph! (Seeking the Moon(1/3)
In front of the court, in front of the camera of Lockettke TV, I first broke the bridge of the lawyer's nose in a circle, then waved the chair and beat the lawyer to the death of blood!
Everyone was stunned. No one would have thought that such a scene would be staged in court. You know, in court, you can be sentenced even if you say dirty work, let alone hit someone.
But I did beat me, and I beat me to death! The judges were stunned, and the audience who were hearing the trial were also stunned. The first person to react was from the Prosecutor's Office.
"Battleman! Where is the bailiff!" They shouted, and the court's bailiff came in quickly and pulled me away. Then someone hurriedly entrusted the lawyer out in the corner.
"Sir Judge! Let's accuse Mr. Corleon of assaulting the lawyer in court! This is a great disrespect to the court!" The person from the Prosecutor's Office shouted.
Patino sneered, and ignored those guys, but stared at me.
"Mr. Corleon, what do you say about this?" asked Patino.
"Judge, I want to sue the Prosecutor's Office!" I wiped the blood splashed on my face and shouted: "I don't care about the court or the law. I only know one thing. Children should not be involved in anything. My sons, the oldest one is only a few years old, and they have the rights that minors should have. The Prosecutor's Office's behavior seriously hurts my children! Not to mention them, even the US president does this, I will still fight!" I stood in the court and became angry.
"Judge, as a lawyer, the people of the Procuratorate should understand that in the law, the testimony of minors cannot be used as evidence, but should protect their growth. I admit that my clients may have done fierce things because of their eagerness to protect their children, but I strongly demand that the court conduct a trial of the Procuratorate's actions!" Coolidge also became popular at this time.
"That bitch's lawyer should be beaten!"
"Yes. It's time to fight!"
Whether it was the people in the trial or the members of the jury, they all shouted. The incident happened to be obvious to all. These people have been parents and can fully understand my mood.
The trial reached this point and could not proceed according to the original steps. Pattino announced that the trial was temporarily over. Next, the court would start internal consultations.
The first trial ended with an unexpected result. When I came out of the court, the reporters came to interview. Facing the reporters, I angrily refuted the Los Angeles Procuratorate's Office and left.
Back to the detention center. Lockettke TV is playing many people's opinions on the incident. Lockettke TV did not delete any content. I directly put the actions of my lawyer in the Los Angeles Investigation Bureau in court on the TV.
The hot scene immediately caused heated discussion among the people.
"Although Mr. Corleon's behavior is a bit fierce, as a father, I firmly support Mr. Corleon's lawyer's actions in the Los Angeles Procuratorate's Office. It's really annoying and hateful. No one can do that to a child who is underage. They are still in the process of growing up, court interference. That kind of environment will seriously affect the child's growth!"
"As a lawyer, I think the people in the Los Angeles Attorney's Office did too much. It is absolutely okay for them to let Leni and others appear in court, but the lawyer lures a child who is only a few years old to speak in court. This behavior obviously violates the professional ethics of a lawyer! The court should learn from this and make bills and regulations on the protection of minors. Only in this way can the court become a fair, sacred and respectable place."
All sectors of society have condemned the lawyer from the Los Angeles Procuratorate, saying that what the lawyer did was a bit too much.
Then there was news from the lawyer: After being beaten up by me, he was taken to the hospital by the bailiff. My nose bridge was broken and I had three fractures on my body. I probably would have been lying in the hospital for several months.
"Mr. Corleon, you are not hated enough. If it were me, I would definitely let this guy lie down in the hospital, and people wouldn't see that I was ruthless." French fries accompanied me to watch TV, laughing while watching my heroic record replayed on TV.
I beat the lawyer in court, and this matter was hyped up. The court had to discuss the final handling opinion.
Although the public understands my behavior very well and most people support me very much, some people condemn me for being too savage.
"The court is a sacred place. Mr. Corleon actually committed an offense in court. What is the difference between this and a thug! The lawyers in the Prosecutor's Office may have done something wrong, but if the lawyer is sanctioned, it should be the court, not Mr. Corleon himself."
"The court must punish severely, otherwise the local courts will become a battlefield for bloodshed," said NBC broadcast.
For a moment, people's attention shifted from the original focus on whether the court would convict me, to the debate over this matter.
The next day, the court announced the result of the punishment.
"After serious consultation, the court decided to impose the following sentence: Mr. Corleone fined 50,000 yuan. At the same time, the court warned the Los Angeles Procuratorate that any trial in the future will not harm minors! The law protects minors!"
This decision basically explains two things. First, the lawyer was beaten for nothing, and second, the court officially issued regulations on this matter, which also means that from now on, my children have completely drawn a line from this time.
In the following days, the court began the second trial after careful preparation.
Compared with the first trial, the Los Angeles Procuratorate's attitude was significantly more cautious. After the first trial, they were angry and accused of being over the United States and under great pressure.
I suffered a loss in my family, so during the second trial, they focused their main attention on me.
"Mr. Corleon, Jagelo Corleon, Vapori Corleon, Adolf Marskolov Corleon and Krishtov Moses Corleon. What does it have to do with you?" A new lawyer from the Prosecutor's Office was actually aggressive as soon as he got up.
"It's my four children." He raised his head.
There was a commotion in the court. Everyone was surprised by my frankness, and they thought I would evade on this issue.
"Since that's the case, it means that these children were born to you and Leni and others, right?" the lawyer asked further.
"yes."
"Since that's the case, do you think they are your illegitimate sons or your legitimate son?" The lawyer looked at me and smiled proudly.
His question made me frown.
This lawyer is obviously more cunning than the lawyer at the first trial. He asked a question that I would not be good at answering.
If I say that those four children were my illegitimate children, from then on, they will live in this capacity. In the United States, the identity of illegitimate children is obviously a shame, which is completely different from my goal of letting children live openly.
But if I admit that they are my legitimate sons, then it's obviously falling into their trap, because it basically indirectly admits that I have committed bigamy.
This question is really sharp.
"Judge! I object to the other party's lawyer's question! This question has a purpose! These children are Mr. Corleon's children. This is a fact, no one can change the fact. No matter what the final result of this case, these four children have the right to live a dignified life! Their rights cannot be deprived!" Coolidge naturally understood the other party's purpose and stood up to object.
"Agree! Prosecutor's Office, please pay attention to your questioning method!" Patino nodded, and the lawyer of the Prosecutor's Office immediately became deflated.
"Mr. Judge, my party respects Fatty very much and actively cooperates with this matter. Without any concealment or intentional difficulties. Mr. Corleone explained the matter one by one from the beginning. Yes, he gave birth to a child with Leni and others, but Mr. Corleone did not make formal marriage ceremony with Miss Leni and others, nor was he registered, so there was no criminal condition for bigamy! I asked the court that if the Procuratorate did not submit new evidence, the court should sentence my party to acquitment as soon as possible!" Coolidge then roared like a machine gun.
His proposal immediately sparked discussion in the court. After winning the opinions of other judges, Patino responded: "Prosecution Department, if you cannot provide new evidence, the court will soon announce the verdict, because so far, the case has been very clear." Patino said in a deep voice.
The people from the Procuratorate Office were also talking, and they realized that the case had entered the final breakthrough period. If they could not open a gap in me, the court would really pronounce the verdict.
"Sir Judge. We ask for a certificate." The attorney from the Prosecutor's Office stood up.
"Yes." Pattino agreed to their request.
"Bring a witness!" the bailiff shouted loudly.
The door of the court was opened. People inside turned their heads and looked at the door.
In this case, the person summoned by the Prosecutor's Office to testify is obviously very important.
And the people brought in were five or six journalists.
After entering the court, these people began to report their names and occupations one by one. It turned out that they were all journalists, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and NBC and other media.
"Please tell the court what you saw on June 20, 192." The lawyer of the Prosecutor's Office waved to the reporters.
"That day was a sunny day. The day before, I received internal news that DreamWorks might have some major weddings to be held, and those who attended the wedding were all big shots. As a result, I took my things and when I arrived at Harvey Street, I was stopped by DreamWorks people. They didn't let me in. I could only watch outside." A reporter said.
"What have you seen?" the judge asked.
"There was a grand wedding that day, and the whole DreamWorks was full of joy. The wedding was held in the small chapel on Harvey Street. The participants were the Harvey people except for those who had a deep relationship with DreamWorks, and anyone else was excluded."
“How do you know that there is a wedding there?”
"At noon, I saw rows of cars driving towards the church. Many of the people in the cars were wearing wedding dresses, and based on what I learned later, a grand wedding was indeed held that day." The reporter talked endlessly.
"Sir, I'm going to ask a question." Coolidge stood up,
Pattino nodded, signaling Coolidge to ask questions.
"You said DreamWorks held a grand wedding that day. But it had nothing to do with this case." Coolidge walked to the reporter and said coldly.
"The judge beats someone! I object to Mr. Coolidge's question because my witness has sufficient evidence to prove that that day was Mr. Corleon's wedding! And five women were married with him!" The attorney of the Prosecutor's Office shouted.
"The witness can continue to explain the situation." Pattino sentenced.
"That day, many reporters went, but no one could get in. I asked, and finally found out that there was Mr. Corleon in the wedding, and it was said that his marriage partner was Leni and other five ladies. Later, I was guarding the door of Harvey Street and waiting for the wedding to end. Then in the evening, I took a photo." The reporter's words made the people in the court stir up.
The reporter's words are convincing. And if there are photos, it can explain the problem.
The photo was quickly projected onto the court wall. Although the photo was a bit blurry, it was basically possible to distinguish people.
At the intersection of Harvey Street, there were rows of cars parked, and there were people in front of them. These people were crowded together, some hugged each other and some bowed their heads to chat. Men were dressed in suits and grooms, and women were all wearing wedding dresses.
There are many people above, Gans, Fatty, Gary Grant and others, and as for women, there are more. The women who got married that day were almost all in the picture. This photo was taken secretly when we said goodbye after the wedding that day.
On the picture, there were me, and there were Garbo and Heidi in wedding dresses nearby. As for Holkina and others, they were mixed in the crowd and were not photographed.
"Mr. Corleon, how do you explain this photo?" Patino looked at me and his face calmed down.
If I can't explain this photo well, the consequences are very serious, because the information provided on the picture is indeed after a wedding, and you can also see Garbo and Heidi.
I started to sweat coldly on my forehead.
When we got married, we were extremely secretive, but we didn't expect to be photographed secretly.
"Sir Judge, I can explain for my client." Coolidge stood up.
After winning Pattino's consent, Coolidge talked: "Yes. On June 20, 1928, DreamWorks did hold a wedding, which was a collective wedding. The wedding venue was attended by 23 pairs of DreamWorks employees, which was a big happy event for DreamWorks! This is what the photo shows. Since we don't want to be disturbed by others, we only invited people with good relationships with DreamWorks and Harveys to attend the wedding."
"As the owner of DreamWorks, Mr. Corleon must appear. In order to increase the excitement and make the wedding interesting, we simply pulled Mr. Corleon in and dressed him up as a groom. Some people at the scene did not escape. Miss Garbo, the actor of DreamWorks and Miss Heidi, the owner of Crescent Films, were all pranked in their wedding dresses. This was done so completely to make the collective wedding lively."
"This is the basic situation. If the court does not believe it, many people attending the wedding that day will be on the scene today, which can be proved." Coolidge pointed to the scene.
Next, Marskolov, Lemmer, Sam Warner, Grant and others all stood up to testify, proving that Coolidge's dialect was completely correct. It proved that although I was photographed dressed in a groom and Garbo and others wearing wedding dresses, it was for the sake of lively atmosphere.
This result made the Procuratorate Office so angry that it was almost crazy! The evidence that these guys found through hardships were resolved by us, and the lawyer almost fainted.
"Questions! This is quibulation! Lord Judge! I protest! I protest!" The lawyer was already angry, waved his arms, and his facial features started to yell in distortion.
"I remind you that this is a court, not a vegetable market! If you think the other party is a quibbling, then you can come up with evidence, otherwise I will blow you out on the charge of disturbing the court!" Patino was furious.
The lawyer was so angry that his face turned blue and his whole body was shaking.
At this time, there were a lot of discussions in the court. People had different opinions on this matter, but most people still believed in the comments from DreamWorks.
"Prosecution Department, do you have any other evidence?" Patino asked as he smiled and looked at the local people in the Prosecution Department.
"Yes! We have witnessed it!" The Prosecutor's Office's answer was beyond our expectations.
