Chapter 984 Court
Angus Blake has been very diligent in the past two days. He has contacted many news media, and these news media heard that Zhen Fan was involved in the lawsuit, and they were as excited as chicken blood. √∟ Fiction, on the day of the trial, the gate of the court was crowded with reporters. Although the news in Long Beach, New York yesterday was very hot, this news is not bad.
Zhen Fan did not appear in court as Charles said, because the more he did this, the more he had to prove his innocence in court, which was the most powerful counterattack against that guy. So when Zhen Fan's car stopped at the gate of the court and got out of the car, the reporters rushed past like crazy.
"Do you have anything to say about the charges you're facing? Do you think you killed that great white shark on purpose? Did it attack you?" The reporter's question was weird, but they expected Zhen Fan to have one too. Weird answer. This is deliberately setting up a problem trap.
"Well, I jumped out of the plane to kill a great white shark on purpose." Zhen Fan spread his hands deliberately and said, which immediately caused the reporters to burst into laughter. The person who asked the question was a little embarrassed, He hesitated for a moment, but was quickly squeezed out of the crowd by others.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, if you have any questions, wait until I finish the court session. The time is running out. I don't want the judge to convict me of contempt of court." Zhen Fan squeezed into the crowd as he spoke, and Charles Carter He walked into the court with his assistant and Christina, and then the qualified reporters quickly entered the court and sat down.
The court is basically full of people, but there are still a few chairs left in the front row. Obviously that's reserved for those who deserve to sit here. And Angus Blake sat in the second row, sitting in a row with Christina. Across a corridor. There is nothing to say about the whole trial procedure. Regardless of whether he wins this lawsuit or not, Angus Blake will always make a profit without losing money. When Zhen Fan entered the court just now. He uttered a lot of slander outside the court, and the more frightening he said, the more angry he became. The more it reflects his efforts to protect these animals. He will also appear in court today as a witness.
"Okay, this is our accusation. We believe that Mr. Fan Zhen deliberately murdered a great white shark. This conclusion will not be changed!" The prosecutor shook his head helplessly. No appeal was filed, but under the pressure of those environmental protection organizations, they had to do so. But the result... they are not optimistic!
"Your Honor, please speak!" At this moment Charles raised his hand. He said to the judge, "I have a few questions I would like to ask my client and the witness for the prosecution, Mr. Angus Blake."
"It's your right, of course, but...don't cross the line, Mr. Carter." The judge was a fat, black man in his fifties, with piercing eyes. Looks smarter.
"Thank you!" Charles walked up to Zhen Fan and asked, "You were filming on Bit Jackson's set that day, and one of them jumped out of the plane.
And the scene where you swim into the submarine? "
"Yes. I was shooting this scene at the time, and it was this scene. I was flying a light seaplane. Then I dived towards the submarine, and when I was still a certain distance from the submarine, I dived. That's it." Zhen Fan answered seriously.
"How high did you dive, from the plane!"
"I don't know. About 60 meters? I think so." Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, "This is my estimate, but later the TV station gave a test data, which is about 70 meters. Anyway, it broke the previous limit of human diving height, there should be nothing wrong with this!"
"That is to say, you broke through the limits of human beings, jumped into the sea water, and then actively attacked and killed a ferocious great white shark? You must know that when you enter the water, the pressure damage you suffer is completely It can kill you, in this case, you go to provoke and kill a great white shark, is that right?"
"No, that's not the case! The great white shark attacked me on its own initiative, and it was a very coincidental chance to kill it, otherwise I would be the one who died!" Zhen Fan shook his head and said, he was also talking nonsense, in fact, the great white shark was indeed on his own initiative. He killed it because it got in the way by his side, but this cannot be said in court.
"Well, Your Honor, I would like to ask the prosecution witness, Mr. Angus Blake." Charles said to the judge.
"Excuse me!" said the judge, nodding his head. "Ask me some questions pertaining to this case, and watch your time!"
"I will!" Charles said, and walked up to Angus Blake, then looked at him and said, "Are you a member of the American Endangered Animal Protection Organization?"
"Of course, everyone knows this. This is my ID!" Angus Blake said, took out his ID, and placed it on the table. It was obvious that he came prepared.
Charles glanced at it casually and then stopped. Instead, he nodded and said, "I know that. What I want to ask is, for what purpose do you want to sue my client, Fan Zhen? We all know that, in the In Mr. Fan Zhen's situation at that time, it was impossible to take the initiative to attack a great white shark with huge lethality when it exceeded the limit of human beings. This is tantamount to suicide. Why do you think it is a kind of What about active attacks?"
"We have seen on TV that Fan Zhen was riding on the back of the great white shark, and judging from the results, Fan Zhen was unharmed, but the great white shark died. This is enough to explain the problem. The strength is one-sided, Fan Zhen's ability far exceeds the ability to kill the great white shark. In other words...he has the ability to actively attack the great white shark." Angus Blake said, then looked at Charles and said, "This That's my answer."
"And all of this is based on your assumptions, isn't it?" Charles smiled slightly, nodded and said, "We all know that great white sharks are aggressive animals, and Fan Zhen is a human being, and it turns out that He is still a very popular person. Whether it is his friends or those who have received his favor, they all know that he is a good person. He even said that he has no criminal record, so in today's era of evidence, any speculation is meaningless of."
Charles said and smiled at Angus Blake: "At that time, I am very interested in what purpose you are suing Fan? Zhen, you just said it. Is it to protect endangered creatures? Maybe there are other The purpose may also be, I heard that your organization is going to be re-elected now. Are you confident that you will be elected as the chairman?"
"This issue has nothing to do with this case, and the request is dismissed!" The prosecutor immediately stood up and said to the judge.
The judge looked at Charles and said: "Mr. Carter, if you don't have evidence in this regard, it's best not to talk about it. Do you have any questions to ask?"
"Of course, my lord, I request a piece of evidence!" Charles said to the judge, "this piece of evidence is used to prove how ridiculous the testimony of our witness is."
"Okay. Permission to present evidence!" The judge patted the hammer, and then Charles took out a memory card from his pocket, and then handed the memory card to the judge and said, "There is an audio in it, and I request it to be played in court! "
"Accept the request!" The judge nodded, and then handed over the memory card to the staff. The staff brought a player and also used speakers. At this time, Angus Blake became a little restless. He didn't know what was in the memory card, but he knew that some of his words might have been recorded.
Was that passage recorded? He calculated quickly in his mind, and then suddenly remembered his woman. Yes, it should be that damned woman. I said so many things that I shouldn't have said that day, and I thought they were all my own. But he didn't expect... But he hoped that it wasn't the woman who leaked the news, so he silently begged God in his heart to see if he could escape by luck.
"...As long as Zhen goes to court. We will win, and we will hold a rally at the gate of the court. I believe that there will be many reporters at that time. He is a celebrity. That is enough. As for the court's sentence, It doesn't matter anymore... I've always been a villain, and I've provoked famous people before, but today's one is obviously a big fish. After this time, our reputation will definitely grow. Don't worry, our plan is flawless , and... there is no failure, is there? Zhen fell into our trap, he is our prey..."
"...If I get the chairmanship, then this is the time to get the most money. Do you know that many of our factories fail to meet environmental protection standards, pollute water sources, and cause the gradual extinction of organisms? I know, and I I also know which factories and enterprises have escaped the eyes of the government. They are very good at deceiving, but I can't do it here. I will find their evidence and file charges in the same way..." Mr. Angus Blake Laughing, "If they withdraw my accusation against me, then... there is only one way to go... Money, dollars can stop a person's mouth, and our financial resources will continue to flow..."
This is indeed my own voice. This passage actually appeared in court. That damned woman, damned, should be killed. How could this happen? Angus Blake's cold sweat suddenly broke out from the top of his forehead. He suddenly rushed towards the player, shouting hoarsely: "No, no, this is not me, this is not me, some devil must have occupied my heart, I am innocent, believe me... ..."
"Silence!" The judge tapped the hammer, "Take this guy down, I don't want him to stay in front of me for a moment." The judge couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily to the bailiff. Soon, Angus Blake was dragged out by the judge like a dead dog.
The crowd in the hearing booth was in an uproar. It was obvious that this sanctimonious guy actually had such bad water in his belly. Not only did he ruin his own reputation, but he also blackmailed the endangered animal protection organization. It is estimated that later today, those people from animal protection organizations will draw a clear line with this guy. And those cronies of his originally wanted to gather at the door to protest against Zhen Fan. But seeing this result, a few people who were hearing the trial slipped out quietly, persuaded those who were preparing to demonstrate at the door away, and hurriedly left here in desperation.
