Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2735 The Court Opens

Unlike the customs of China, as we all know, the United States is a country that values ​​personal heroism, and the people's worship of heroes is deeply rooted in their bones.

Just look at the movies that have been popular in the United States over the past few hundred years.

For example, Zorro, Spider-Man, Captain America, 2012, and Iron Man.

In each film, a superhero saves the world single-handedly.

This is the folk custom, which cannot be changed. Every nation has its own things to insist on. Although the United States is a country of immigrants, they also have their own things.

Public opinion is fermenting more and more strongly, and has spread to every corner like a gust of wind. You must know that Facebook is a communication software that is spread all over the world. Under deliberate guidance, the Marshal Ye incident has become one of the world's focuses.

James Mac was a little annoyed. Although he was a gentle man, that was only in front of others.

In his own family, he is an extremely overbearing person. But he loves his wife and children, and even his wife's unpromising nephew.

At first, he didn't take the public opinion seriously at all. After all, it was still up to the jury and the judge to convict him in the end.

What's the point of a bunch of ordinary people making such a fuss? It would be better for him to just smile and say hello.

He has a high reputation, especially in the legal community, and has held many positions, reaching its peak since taking charge of Philo Company.

The company had already begun to decline like an old man, but he single-handedly saved the company.

His legend became a much-talked-about story throughout the American business community, and the Philo family even worshipped him as a savior.

As long as it is his business, they will spare no effort to help.

The people of the Philo family naturally knew about his nephew's affairs, and they began to cooperate from the very beginning.

For example, destroying evidence so that everything the police get will only benefit the deceased, etc.

Rich people naturally have their own ways of doing things, without anyone noticing. You just have doubts, but I have solid evidence.

It’s just that this wave of public opinion has made them all a little confused, because it has begun to change direction.

At the beginning, they only praised Marshal Ye's bravery and denounced the ugliness and shamelessness of those thugs.

But now, some details are beginning to emerge, such as erased footage and missing witnesses.

To this day, no witness has been found to show how Marshal Ye killed that gangster.

As everyone knows, Ye Yuze has spent more than 10 million yuan, but he still hasn't found any witnesses. There must be something wrong.

Moreover, the lawyer has confirmed that Marshal Ye clearly stated that there were at least two people present at the time, and he was knocked down by an iron pipe when the other party was swinging a knife at him.

Of course, Ye Yuze did not release the surveillance video to the public, as this would be the ultimate weapon.

The same is true for several key witnesses, and the big killer will naturally appear at the critical moment.

In London, England, an elderly couple looked at each other in silence. They were the witnesses of Marshal Ye's murder.

However, they were found on the same day, received 10 US dollars, and then returned home.

Their demands were not high. They were just asked to say that they did not see anything, and they just went to the United States for a trip and would go back after the trip.

The old couple were naturally overjoyed at the unexpected fortune, but they were not well off.

The pension is very low, and even with some benefits, it is just enough to make ends meet. If you go out to eat a few times a month, you will go bankrupt this month.

What's more, they are in good health and want to walk around while their legs and feet are still strong. This is obviously beyond their ability.

With this money, many of their plans can be implemented.

You have to know that whether in the United States or Europe, ordinary people generally do not have savings.

One reason is that they like to consume in advance, and the other is that they generally don’t work very hard.

In their minds, life is more important than making money. Isn't the purpose of making money to live?

Working like an ox or a horse all your life and saving money for the next generation means you are truly like an ox or a horse.

Just today, when my son came back for dinner, they talked about the trip to the United States, and my son told me a piece of news.

That was about Ye Yuze offering a reward for a witness, and the old couple were petrified instantly.

Damn, I thought I was making a lot, but how come there are 10 times more? This is something I need to think about carefully.

They don’t know how to use the Internet and don’t have Facebook, so they could only check the information on their son’s phone.

After his son left, old Charles sighed to his wife.

"They are so petty. I don't think it's necessary to hide this for them."

My wife shook her head and said, "They are very powerful and we can't afford to offend them. Besides, we have taken the money. If we step forward rashly, will we be silenced?"

Old Charles hesitated for a long time. This was not nonsense. They could do anything.

At first, they didn't know who the other party was. From giving them money to sending them away, the other party didn't reveal their identity at all.

But now according to the disclosure on Facebook, it must be a member of the Philo family, but what is the relationship between this deceased person and them?

The surname and first name are both wrong, why are they protecting this dead person?

In fact, not only the old couple are confused, but the entire United States is confused. They don’t know why the Philo family is doing this?

However, the power of the Internet is strong, and human flesh search is unmatched by any advanced technology.

Soon, James Mac surfaced, and his previous experiences of helping his nephew get away with things were also disclosed.

There was an uproar. It turned out that this was how the nephew was raised. Without this uncle, the nephew would not have ended up like this.

The underwear of a group of hooligans were quickly stripped off. They all had a bad record since they were teenagers.

Especially James Mac's nephew. If he hadn't taken action again and again, he would have been in prison now.

The result of his protection was that he went straight to hell.

Faced with increasingly fierce public opinion, did the Philo family finally feel that they should do something?

After all, as a top American family, they still have to maintain their reputation. No matter how many dirty things they did in private, they were still in private after all.

They don't have their own media, but with so many years of connections, they have people everywhere, so this kind of thing naturally won't be that troublesome.

Therefore, the first to take action was the authoritative CNN news channel in the United States.

This report is not biased but rather states what happened truthfully. Of course, their evidence was collected by the police.

As for the ones that went viral on Facebook, they didn’t report it, they just mentioned it and treated it as a rumor.

What they said was very objective. They said it needed to be verified, but did not completely deny it.

However, as things have escalated to such an extent, such news attempts to whitewash it will naturally not be accepted by the public.

Instead, it intensified public opinion. Soon after, well-known media such as ABC News, NBC News and CBS News also began to release similar news.

Some people began to feel confused. Although the Internet is popular, the authority of traditional media is still unquestioned.

Just when people began to get confused, the news channel of a sister company also began to release news on the matter.

However, their news is much more detailed, with not only evidence from the police but also evidence disclosed by Facebook.

You have to know that when news channels report these things, they need to be verified. After all, they represent authority and authenticity.

You should know that Bros. News was founded by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch in 1996 and is affiliated with Fox Broadcasting Company.

Fox Broadcasting Company is owned by Fox Corporation, founded by Murdoch, so Fox News is a private media.

The channel is known for its conservative tendencies and extensive coverage of politics and current affairs. In January 2002, its ratings surpassed CNN to become number one in the United States. As of now, it is still the number one television news channel in the United States.

Today, the company has been acquired by a sister company. Although it still has shares in Fox, they are basically negligible.

But the news authority of this channel is unquestionable.

In response to the news released by several channels, other entertainment channels also responded immediately.

For example, some famous hosts and talk show actors started eye-catching performances, all with this as the theme.

Those who understand will understand that these big names also like to take advantage of the popularity, especially when going against those wealthy and powerful businessmen.

Although the Ye family is also a wealthy family, they were on the right side this time, so no star had their head squeezed by the door and made fun of Marshal Ye.

As a result, James Mack became the protagonist in all kinds of jokes, was ridiculed in various ways, and became a national villain for a while.

Ye Yuze did not disclose his mobile phone number. The phone number on the reward announcement was that of a sister company.

The young ladies on duty have been very dedicated these days because they all know that this incident has a huge impact and no one can afford the consequences if something really goes wrong.

On this day, Wang Xinran had just taken over when the phone rang. She was an international student, and the reason she was able to intern in the sister company was because of her identity, which she understood.

The call came from England. The voice was old and a little timid. He just asked:

"Is Mr. Ye here?"

Wang Xinran was not careless: "Mr. Ye has been busy and has no time to answer the phone. Just tell me what you have to say, and I will convey it word for word."

The person on the other end hung up the phone. Wang Xinran wanted to call back, but she didn't. Instead, she told Ye Yuze about the matter.

After listening to the report, Ye Yuze dialed the number without hesitation.

"I'm Ye Yuze, what can I do for you?"

He hesitated for a moment and asked:

"If I can provide the true circumstances of your son's murder, will I really get 100 million?"

Ye Yuze said without hesitation: "Of course I can, but I have to prove that I was there and witnessed everything that happened."

The answer from the other side was very sure: "I can guarantee this, and I have photos and videos."

Ye Yuze was overjoyed: "Then you can wait for us there and find a lawyer. Our lawyer can go there to investigate and collect evidence tomorrow, and I will follow."

Old Charles smiled, revealing his gums that were missing a few teeth. One million can certainly do more than one hundred thousand.

As for the sense of justice, I can raise my arms and shout out after I get the money:

"As a British citizen, even though this happened in the United States, I also have an obligation to reveal the truth."

The next day, Ye Yuze and his lawyer arrived at old Charles' house on time.

After watching his photos and videos, he directly wrote a check for 200 million.

Charles and his wife were in tears. Two million dollars, enough to travel around the world.

After Ye Yuze and the others left, Old Charles and his wife hugged each other and kissed each other again and again. Finally, they couldn't hold back their passion anymore and they had sex.

I can’t remember how many years it has been since I felt this kind of enthusiasm. It seems that some things rely not only on the body, but also on emotions.

In the next few days, they paid attention to the news and online public opinion every day, and finally figured out what happened.

Old Charles got really angry when he thought about the lovely child who might never be able to get out of jail for the crime of murder.

"No, I have to do something!"

His wife also had tears in her eyes: "Go ahead, I support you no matter what you do..."

Things went according to plan amid the whirlpool of public opinion, and finally the first court session was held.

James Mack did not attend the trial, but he was confident that no matter how chaotic things were outside, Marshal Ye's fate had already been determined.

The prosecutor was a middle-aged man named Firth, who had extensive experience and was known for his impartiality and high prestige.

However, Marshal Ye's defense lawyer is unknown and almost no one knows him.

The judge was under a lot of pressure in this case. Originally, a case like this was nothing to them, but because of the identities of both parties, things became complicated.

Therefore, the selection of jurors became more cautious. The presiding judge had a very good relationship with James Mack.

They also went through a series of communications beforehand, but of course, that doesn't mean that James Mac dominated everything.

But he still played a big role, such as making the case of intentional homicide when the grand jury deliberated before the trial.

Most of the jurors acquiesced to the charge, otherwise the trial would not have taken place.

In the United States, citizens who meet the following conditions are eligible to serve as jurors:

1. Be a U.S. citizen. 2. Be 18 years of age or older.

3. Have resided in the jurisdiction for at least one year.

4. Ability to read, write, understand and speak English fluently.

5. There are no mental or physical conditions that cannot be resolved through adjustments.

6. Not currently charged with a felony punishable by more than one year in prison.

7. Never been convicted of a felony (unless civil rights have been legally restored).

However, several categories of people are generally exempt from federal jury service, including active-duty military and National Guard members, members of non-federal professional fire and police departments, and "public employees" of federal, state or local governments.

In addition, some courts will grant permanent exemptions upon individual request to people who are 70 or older, people who have served on a federal juror within the past two years, and volunteer firefighters or rescue or ambulance workers.

Jurors are typically selected randomly from sources such as voter registration lists and may include ordinary citizens from a variety of occupations and backgrounds, such as salespeople, nurses, IT consultants, teachers, software engineers, etc.

Hehehe, you guys are so awesome!
