My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 120: On the eve of the war

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!

The prosecution against White Rose Organization No. 4 is in the First Circuit Court, which is the Donghai West District Court.

First of all, there is the hearing with the participation of the grand jury, which is mainly to review whether the prosecutor has a reasonable basis for the prosecution to avoid the abuse of public power.

These dozen cases, numbered 950092158-950092175, passed the grand jury hearings smoothly.

The Grand Jury of the First Circuit is a four-year system with 12 jurors. It conducts pre-trial hearings on criminal cases within the past four years to determine whether they can enter the court trial stage. A simple majority vote is used to determine the outcome. .

At the grand jury hearing stage, the defendant's lawyer is not allowed to be present, and the defendant is not required to be present unless summoned by the grand jury. The main purpose is to hear the prosecution's evidence and how it was obtained.

If there are no obvious irregularities in the evidence collection process, the grand jury has no power to dismiss the case.

Moreover, the judge has the final right to make a decision, and very few cases prosecuted by the prosecutor are dismissed directly at the pre-trial hearing stage.

The lawsuit filed by the prosecutor this time is divided into more than a dozen cases, and many thugs are co-defendants.

Booker and Reno Jr., case number 950092158, are the two chief criminals of the No. 4 White Rose organization who carried out racial vendetta.

These cases all passed the hearing smoothly.

……

Shengte Western Restaurant is the best Western restaurant in Beiguan, and it was also the place where Lu Ming asked Judge Christine to sign a temporary injunction last time.

Westerners usually don't have the habit of having elegant rooms in good restaurants, but in Beiguan, do as the Romans do. There are several private rooms on the second floor that require separate payment.

Now, Lu Ming and Deputy Chief Cheng Lingyu of the Grand Procuratorate are in one of the private rooms.

The room is not big, but it is elegantly decorated. It can be regarded as the minimalist style of this era. The glass walls are all transparent. At night, you can see the bright night view of the city from the outside, but you can't see the shadows next door. It's so clear. Dining inside is very surrealistic of this era, and it feels good.

"Are you going to select jurors in the next few days?" Cheng Lingyu simply placed a glass of water in front of him.

Lu Ming nodded: "What did Director McCann say?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled: "Don't worry, you can just settle down and litigate!"

Lu Ming understands that Renault Jr.’s revelations will naturally put pressure on Director McCann. His political opponents will not give up this opportunity to criticize him, especially since he is not actually a close confidant of Director McCann. , let alone a close confidant, he is not even considered a person of Director McCann.

By chance, I was put in this position.

At that time, Director McCann couldn't help but say that he saw himself as young and outstanding, and had the idea of ​​slowly observing and using it for his own purposes.

But Director McCann obviously didn't expect that if he didn't launch an attack, he would blow up the Renault family.

Especially now that the other party has invited a heavyweight lawyer at the empire level like Richard.

General McCann will have to think about what will happen if the prosecution loses the case of Reno Jr.

When the time comes, I will definitely be an outcast, and I may even be labeled inexplicably.

If you want the Supreme Prosecutor's Office to escape unscathed without losing its dignity, you can't say it, so you turn into a liar for fame and reputation and deceive the recommender, Deputy Chief Cheng Lingyu, and Chief McCann is completely unaware.

The successful conviction of the other White Rose members must be the result of the collective efforts of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. The false accusation against Reno Jr. was his own personal mistake.

Looking at Cheng Lingyu with a smile on his face, Lu Ming slowly picked up the water cup and drank. Does Cheng Jian know the crisis he may face?

"Brother Cheng, didn't Director McCann ask me to change my mind about prosecuting Little Leno?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled: "No, just go ahead and fight the lawsuit! The Operations Office is also an independent government office, and Chief McCann has no power to interfere with how you can prosecute, right?"

Lu Ming smiled. In the previous life, in some countries with relatively strong prosecutorial power, each prosecutor could be regarded as an independent government office. Superiors, including the prosecutor general, were not allowed to interfere in any case they investigated or prosecuted.

However, in the Donghai Prosecutor's Office system, only the senior prosecutorial director level is considered an independent office and has the authority to investigate and prosecute any case.

Looking at Cheng Lingyu's smiling face, Lu Ming smiled and changed the subject, "What kind of person is Judge Dempsey?"

Demps will be the presiding judge in the case between Booker and Leno Jr.

"A very upright person, but he can listen and speak Zhongzhou dialect, but he can't write!" Cheng Lingyu smiled.

Lu Ming understood that this typical old Western man who was extremely arrogant had reluctantly learned Zhongzhou dialect only for work or daily communication needs.

……

After coming out of Saint Texi, Lu Ming got into the car, feeling a little depressed.

In just a few months, Cheng Lingyu has undergone considerable changes. However, it is no wonder that the deputy director of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office is a real political figure, and a high-level political figure.

But no matter what, he didn't mention a word about the difficulties he might face, which always made people feel uncomfortable.

"Go to Hepu Road!" Lu Ming patted the driver in front of him on the shoulder.

Suddenly, I wanted to go home.

……

However, when I finally got home, I found that the house was a little deserted. Pan Mila was afraid that she was busier than herself recently, and Bi Si was at school.

Bizhu, not Hanzhu, was teaching Kuroki Saori meditation. They were sitting cross-legged facing each other, not knowing what they were doing.

In the record, there are sounds of nature, gurgling water, birdsong, etc.

After watching outside the music room for a while, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly and left.

……

Sitting in the slowly moving car, Lu Ming almost asked Datou to go to Wendebao 408.

But think about the style of that "aunt". If you go there, it may be lively, but you may end up with one head and two heads.

In my current mood, I just want to sit quietly for a while. It would be best if there is someone beside me to accompany me quietly.

No more work-related distractions, no more sudden phone calls.

Also think carefully about the upcoming lawsuit.

This is the first time I have ever felt unprecedented pressure from a lawsuit.

"Go to Windsor College!" Lu Ming coughed and simply asked the little guy to skip school and stay with him. With her by his side, he would be in a good mood.

But what my father did seemed a bit outrageous.
