Chapter 695: Small Case 66625

~10 min read 1,885 words

Mr. Charles' lawyer came very quickly, whether it was for the sake of money or other aspects.

Many lawyers think that working for rich people is an honor; some lawyers can even not want lawyer fees during the rising period, just to work for rich people.

A lawyer is a very sensitive job, especially for cases that may involve needing to go to jail.

The most common sentence lawyers say is "professional ethics"; they want to win, the rich people who hire lawyers want to win, so they must tell the lawyer all the facts that can be said as much as possible.

He must analyze the possible loopholes in the entire case from a professional perspective, and then find a way to plug them.

Even those old men at the bottom of the Federation initiated a proposal for this: the clues of conversation obtained by lawyers through acting as agents for cases and communicating with the defendants cannot be used as valid legal evidence in court!

At the same time, lawyers cannot sell any news of their employers; once they really do that, it means they will lose all their clients.

Except for the cheapest lawsuits, no one will hire them to work.

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Charles' luxurious lawyer team appeared on the side of the station, three cars, and a car of bodyguards.

As soon as the car stopped, seven lawyers got out of two cars; they found Mr. Charles' location at a glance and walked over.

The gazes of the two prosecutors standing by the car fell on these people; if it were before, they would feel trouble.

Because these people in front of them are synonymous with "trouble" in New Jincheng; they are very difficult to provoke; this is the conclusion reached by the prosecution agency after dealing with them many times.

But this time, they didn't fear.

Whether it was the confrontation of gazes or the stability of emotions, it made the leading lawyer frown slightly.

He lowered his head and glanced at the badge on his collar, then walked toward this side while saying something in a low voice to the person beside him, and the latter ran away in small steps.

"I don't know what happened in the phone call just now; can you tell me, because of what, my client has to be taken away by you?"

One of the two prosecutors showed an arrest warrant. "Now we have enough evidence to accuse Mr. Charles of participating in solicitation many times in New Jincheng in the past ten years, violating local laws and committing the crime of prostitution."

The lawyer took the document and looked at it; as a big lawyer, he actually knew very well that when the prosecutor takes action, basically these legal documents will not have any problems.

The power of federal prosecutors is very great; once they take action, they definitely can't get rid of it.

He also knew it was impossible to let these two people leave here; after all, the procedures were complete; even if he was a top lawyer, he had to abide by federal laws.

He looked at it for a while and then requested to inspect the documents of the two prosecutors, recorded their names, and then said, "The documents are fine, but I need to accompany my client to go with you; is there any problem?"

The two prosecutors shook their heads. "This is your right, so now please ask Mr. Charles to leave the vehicle."

One of the prosecutors took out gloves; the lawyer glanced at Mr. Charles and looked at the two again. "Before the judge rules that he is guilty, you cannot put handcuffs on him."

"My client did not resist arrest, did not do dangerous actions, and is only a suspect; you don't have the right to put handcuffs on him."

A small confrontation, the two prosecutors looked at each other and took back the handcuffs.

Actually, to talk about legal clauses, these big lawyers are clearly more clear than them; after all, these lawyers live on these.

Then Mr. Charles breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the car.

The lawyer stood beside him and said in a low voice, "I will accompany you all the way."

Mr. Charles nodded and gave him a grateful look, although he might have to pay thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in lawyer fees for this.

A group of people changed to a car and quickly came to the New Jincheng Prosecutor's Office; the lawyer requested to chat with Mr. Charles alone before the conversation.

The prosecutor's side didn't refuse, because according to the Federal Constitution Amendment, federal citizens have the right to hire lawyers for themselves, help themselves defend, and help themselves respond to some strategies when facing judicial organs.

They were taken to a separate room, where there were only two of them, and a staff member stood at the door and told them they only had 10 minutes.

After the door was completely closed, the lawyer walked back and forth in the room a few times, checked the places where recording equipment might be hidden, and confirmed there was no problem before he walked to the table and sat down.

"They accuse you of prostitution, Mr. Charles; I need to hear the truth now, did you... solicit prostitution?"

Actually, before asking this question, he knew the answer; there is no doubt that prostitution for these rich people is like dessert after a meal; sometimes when they are interested, they just order one.

This is nothing great, and it is not a big deal.

Among 100 rich people in the Bay Area, at least 80 people have existed in this kind of behavior, and about 30 people are still continuously summoning call girls to provide them with sexual services so far.

This is just a small case, but it is not that simple.

Mr. Charles nodded, a bit embarrassed, and his face was also very ugly; this kind of thing, no matter who it happens to, cannot make people feel pleasure; it is like wanting him to strip naked in front of others.

"Yes, I have had this kind of behavior." The lawyer nodded. "Honesty is a good start; can I know the evidence they mentioned, roughly what it is?"

Mr. Charles shook his head. "I'm not very clear; maybe they found the girl who served me at that time."

The lawyer nodded again. "I have another question that might be more private, Mr. Charles."

"In the process of you enjoying the services they provide, do you have any behavior of obtaining pleasure by hurting them?"

"For example, using violence to beat them, or using some more extreme means, using some props, causing them to be injured, etc."

Mr. Charles was silent for a while; his silence was actually a kind of answer; the lawyer took a deep breath, his voice very light. "Is anyone injured, or is anyone..."

He pursed his lips, his voice very light. "... dead?"

Mr. Charles straightened up and shook his head repeatedly. "No, I swear, I might have hurt someone, but I definitely didn't kill anyone, I guarantee!"

The lawyer didn't believe him very much; he knew that these rich people in the Bay Area looked very bright on the surface, but they were all foul and dark in their bones; the things they did, if God knew, he would have to jump down from the Kingdom of Heaven to kill them.

He used a suspicious look to repeatedly ask him to confirm. "This is related to our subsequent defense strategy; you must guarantee that you are telling me the truth."

Mr. Charles nodded repeatedly. "I have no reason to lie to you!"

!

The lawyer thought for a while and accepted his statement.

"Now they have mastered some evidence; if it is just witness testimony, it may not have much use; we have strategies to make their accusations not fully implemented."

"Then find a way, and we can make you acquitted through the provision of 'doubtful cases are acquitted'."

"But they have mastered physical evidence; it is very likely that they can send you in."

He popularized the laws of Licalai State to Mr. Charles. "According to our local laws and federal basic laws here, you will probably have a sentence of about three months to ten months..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Charles couldn't help but interrupt his words. "Going to jail?"

"Wait, the cost of my thousands of dollars per hour is not to bring you here, and then tell me I'm going to jail!"

The lawyer knew that his emotions were relatively excited now; his family was kidnapped, and he didn't know that Mrs. Charles had already returned home.

So he could understand the situation where Mr. Charles' emotions were unstable now; he raised his hands to appease. "Relax, Mr. Charles."

"We have cooperated many times; since you chose to believe in me, then I will definitely give you the best service."

"I will use some strategies to make the judge think that this is just some small mistakes in your life; you have used other methods, and will use other methods to make up for your mistakes!"

He proposed some cases. "In a similar case of a gentleman, I helped him strive for 40 hours of volunteer work from the judge; he was not punished and soon returned home."

Mr. Charles heard this and relaxed a little; he closed his eyes and let himself calm down for a while. "What do I need to do?"

"Have you donated before?"

"Whether it is to a charity foundation, or letting your company organize this kind of similar charity activity?"

Mr. Charles nodded. "Every year we donate, all added together, it is about 100,000 to 200,000."

Big companies are basically keen on charity donations; regardless of whether they donated this money to themselves, as long as they donate, they can get a certain tax exemption amount, which is equivalent to keeping the tax that should have been paid to the country.

Then take out a large part of it to buy a good reputation for the company, and can also save some cash, almost all companies are doing this.

The lawyer was very satisfied. "Very good, I need you to guarantee to the judge that you will continue to do charity in your own name, charity donations or other things, at least 200,000 dollars."

Mr. Charles nodded directly after hearing this; 200,000 is just a small number to him, as long as he doesn't go in!

The lawyer also instructed him on some small things, and there were more smiles on his face.

"Mr. Charles, I will prove that every cent you spend is worthy of its value!"

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. "Your time is almost up."

The lawyer responded. "Right away!"

Then he turned to look at Mr. Charles. "It's just prostitution; don't think about refusing to admit it, behave honestly, admit it, actively cooperate, and leave them a good impression; this is also a plus point when I seek exemption from punishment from the judge."

"Basically that's it, cooperate with their inquiry, tell the truth."
