Chapter 103 I will accompany you in the dock(2/2)
"Um."
Hawke nodded, and then, being led by Gwen, he skated directly from the sidelines to the middle of the court with a chirp, holding hands, and joined the lineup of couples skating.
While Hawke and Gwen were having a romantic date, across the road, George, who was in the court, was also having a romantic date with a criminal.
but……
George frowned as he listened to the news that Beckett had just inquired: "What are you talking about, Zack Staney fired his own lawyer team?"
Beckett nodded: "Yes, just now."
George couldn't help but frown: "Zach Staney wouldn't think that today's verdict can be postponed by firing the lawyer team."
Today is the sentencing day, not the trial day anymore.
If the defendant does not have a lawyer on the trial date, there is a possibility that the case will be postponed.
But right now?
This is simply impossible. After all, due to the special nature of Zack Stanney's identity, the jury established for this case has been in the court for five days.
This is because the district attorney requested the court to close the jury in order to prevent Zack Staney from using off-the-book tricks on the jury members based on the fact that Zack Staney is a wealthy man.
The purpose is to prevent Zack Staney from using money tactics to bribe the jury, thereby interfering with the final trial result.
Therefore, even if the judge expresses his willingness to postpone the trial of this case, the jury, which has been closed for five days, will never agree.
Zack Staney's case must be pronounced today.
Beckett, who was sitting in the gallery with George, lowered his voice and looked at the district prosecutors and other bystanders who were entering the scene one after another and said: "I heard from friends in the court that Zach Stane felt that this was
It's the day of sentencing and I no longer need the legal team. I plan to save money, so I fired the legal team."
After all, the price of the team of lawyers hired by Zach Staney for one day is quite high.
In just five days, Zach Staney has paid more than two million US dollars for the legal team.
only……
George continued to frown, listening to Beckett's words, an absurd and magical emotion emerged in his heart.
Is it just to save money that you fired the legal team?
Good guy.
You are a billionaire, why are you so stingy?
Although Zack Staney is currently involved in a case, as he said, this does not affect Zack Staney's inheritance of Obadiah Staney's legacy at all, especially yesterday, as quickly as possible,
After paying the estate tax to the IRS, Zack Staney's net worth skyrocketed.
George shook his head and was about to say something.
The judge came in.
George quickly silenced his voice and looked at the judge who was walking up to the bench, Beckett next to him, the District Attorney on the plaintiff's bench in front of him, and Zack Staney, who was wearing a suit and ties on the defendant's bench, stood up and said,
Respect for the judge who just came in.
As the judge took his seat, everyone sat down one after another.
As the judge dropped the hammer, the district attorney charged Zach Staney with the charges of "intentional homicide" and "hired homicide" and requested that he be sentenced to life imprisonment. The trial process has officially begun.
Because Zach Staney dismissed his legal team on the last day, there was no delaying operation by the legal team, and the time was greatly reduced.
After the district attorney gave the jury an eloquent summary of the case, and after Zack Staney gave up the chance to give his final statement, the jury quickly got up and went to the back to discuss the final result.
Eleven o'clock in the morning.
Three hours before the court session.
The jury is back!
