The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 439 Rich Girl: Now it's a win-win situation, why should both lose?

The arraignment ends.

Billionaire Philip Wardry's lawyer watched as his boss was taken away by the marshals, boarded the prisoner's bus to Riker's Island Prison before being released on bail, and angrily approached District Attorney Adam Schiffer.

"That's not aimed at you, Daniel, you don't mind? We're both lawyers, you can understand that, don't you?"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer reluctantly greeted this old friend.

One is a billionaire's personal lawyer.

One is a billionaire recipient.

Both of them are celebrities in New York's legal circle, so they are not unfamiliar with each other, and they can even be said to be friends.

And after Chuck had asked him that legal question, and he had compromised with Chuck, he knew there was going to be such a moment.

And it definitely won't be the last time.

"I'm glad you didn't use the word friend!"

Billionaire Philip Wardry's lawyer Daniel sneered: "Even if it's just an acquaintance, there should be a conversation about this kind of thing!"

"You make it sound like Philip was being abused."

District Attorney Adam Schiffer is also a mature politician. Even if he chooses the path given by Chuck, he naturally knows how to use bureaucratic language to face his former friends.

"What's your problem?"

"My problem is I have to drive to Riker's Island Prison in rush hour, and the goddamn Roosevelt Road is still being repaired, and then I have to go through security."

The billionaire's lawyer immediately complained constantly: "Those bastards in prison like to make things difficult for people. The more expensive the suit you wear, the worse they will treat you. You should know, Adam, you were also a lawyer back then!"

"You said you wanted to talk to me, now it sounds like you're cursing!"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer said flatly.

"Philip is an honorary lecturer at Columbia University. He funded many scholarships for all the universities in the city. He donated the building of the burn department of the city hospital by himself."

The billionaire's lawyer began to enumerate the good deeds of his boss: "It's ridiculous and ridiculous to think that someone like Mr. Philip Wardry knows something about attacking innocent people, isn't it?"

"He admitted what he knew, and what he actually knew, and the outcome will only be known after the court pronounces it."

District Attorney Adam Schiffer is still doing tai chi.

The billionaire's lawyer stares him in the eye: "Adam, that's not how the game is played!"

"This is a person's life, not a game!"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer reminded.

"Ha ha."

The billionaire's lawyer sneered, picked up his briefcase, and left.

He knew that this "old friend with political wisdom" who used to be very "political wise" is now determined to do business, and talking about it is useless.

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American Assistant Prosecutor just came back, and what they saw was the scene of the billionaire's lawyer leaving angrily. When they walked in, they saw their boss rubbing his temples with a tired look on his face .

"He's here to negotiate a plea deal?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone quipped.

"Ha, ha, very funny."

District Attorney Adam Schiffer wasn't even trying to laugh.

Seeing this, Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone also put away his smile, looked at his boss and friends, and reminded sternly: "We are doing the right thing!"

"Sometimes what's right doesn't always work!"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer complained: "It's a good thing Mr. Drew McDenny is still alive, otherwise our chances of winning are even smaller."

"You also agree with Chuck."

The African-American assistant prosecutor frowned: "Only the living have human rights?"

"Guys, dead people have no human rights!"

District Attorney Adam Schiffer took it for granted: "Don't tell me, you haven't realized this unspoken secret until now."

"Understood."

The assistant prosecutor of African descent said indifferently: "One more thing, the poor have no human rights, but what can we do if we understand? We can't change the entire legal system!"

The prosecutor's office suddenly fell silent.

They all know this truth, but they can only pretend not to know it, otherwise they will quit their work and their lives will not be passed.

"Thanks for Chuck's persistence, this time is a good start, isn't it?"

After a long silence, Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone broke the silence and said with a smile: "Although it is difficult and there are various challenges, life is generally sweet, isn't it?"

"Hopefully."

District Attorney Adam Schiffer sighed.

If it were changed to the previous way, with four points of politics and six points of law, he would indeed be able to live a very sweet life.

Maintaining the relationship with the upper class and displaying one's ambitions to the lower class, these days can't be sweet.

But now he has compromised and cooperated with Chuck. Based on his understanding of Chuck, he will definitely have constant conflicts with the upper class of society, including billionaires and powerful senators. Once he is caught in the middle, how can life be sweet? stand up?

A few days later, the court officially opened.

"Mr. Stone!"

The lawyer of Dr. James Robert, who performed the surgery, accompanied his client and waited outside the court. When he saw the arrival of Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone, he immediately stopped.

"In private?"

"What do you want to say?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone raised his hand and looked at his watch: "The court is about to start, please hurry up."

"I can help you testify against Philip Wardry!"

Dr. James Robert bypassed his lawyer and stated his intention directly.

In just one night of waiting for bail, he had already felt the fear of prison.

"Are you willing to testify without compensation?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone looked at him with a half-smile.

"...Stone, don't do this."

When Dr. James Robert's face froze, his lawyer took over the topic and persuaded him: "With James helping you, your chances of winning are better. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to prove the thoughts in Philip Wardry's mind." .”

"It's not difficult."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone laughed: "Thanks to Detective Chuck, who has found enough evidence to prove this, and of course to Dr. James Robert for his good habit of recording everything."

"you!"

Dr. James Robert turned pale.

This is his biggest reliance, just for this kind of thing to happen, so that he can throw out a big fish like billionaire Philip Wardry to let him, a little fish, survive.

But who would have thought that the prosecution knew about it, and even obtained the recording of the phone call between him and billionaire Philip Wardry.

"It's Detective Chuck!"

He immediately asked for a recording when he met Detective Chuck for the first time, and then he was so frightened by Detective Chuck that he deleted the recording.

It must have been that time that he exposed himself instead.

No wonder Detective Chuck asked him to keep the recording before he left so he could testify in court. He thought he was talking about the just-recorded audio, but now it seems that Detective Chuck clearly guessed that he kept the phone call with the billionaire The recording, the recording refers to his final hole card.

"That's right!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone said with a smile: "The biggest disadvantage of cooperating with Detective Chuck is that he is unwilling to make prosecution and defense deals with criminals, but the advantage is that as long as there is evidence, he can find it."

Seeing that the defense lawyer wanted to speak, he interrupted directly: "Don't worry, we have applied for a search warrant, and the recording evidence is legal and can be used as evidence in court!"

"I can testify for you!"

Dr. James Robert panicked: "With me as a witness, it will impress the jury even more."

"can."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone nodded: "You should remember your good partner, nurse Elena Hayley, right?"

"of course I remember."

Dr. James Robert was taken aback: "You mean that I can be prosecuted for the same crime as her?"

"Forget about beauty."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone laughed and said: "The biggest difference between you is attempted second-degree murder, how could it be the same! I mean you can refer to her, there is no charge and plea deal, but the prosecution does not make a sentencing recommendation, no I will suggest the maximum sentence to the judge, and everything will be left to the judge's discretion, there are only ten seconds, do you think about it?"

With that said, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and then began to count down.

"I agree!"

Dr. James Robert's eyes changed for a while, and when Ben Stone's countdown was about to end, he chose to agree.

His crime has actually been confirmed.

Now the biggest reliance is the recorded conversation with Big Fish. He is doomed to lose this lawsuit, and now he can only hope that the prosecution will not recommend the maximum sentence to the judge, otherwise he will get nothing.

"Wise choice."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone looked at him, shook his head and sighed: "You are so sensible, but why would you do such a stupid thing that is utterly devoid of conscience!"

Dr. James Robert was instantly remorseful.

As his lawyer told the prosecutors before, as a well-known transplant surgeon, he earns 4 dollars a week, which is more than 200 million dollars a year.

This much money is enough for him to live the richest and sweetest life.

But it's a pity that like those incompetent rich second generations, what they fear most is not the old-fashioned eating, drinking and having fun.

This is the silliest.

How much did you spend on food, drink and entertainment?
With the wealth inherited by the rich second generation, as long as they are willing to only eat, drink and have fun, they will probably not be short of money for a lifetime.

But once you want to 'struggle', you can not only spend all the money overnight, but also owe astronomical debts.

This is the most terrifying!

Dr. James Robert was able to become a famous doctor, of course he was not an incompetent idiot, but his ability lies in medicine, not in investment.

The ability to invest is no better than those incompetent rich second generations.

It is also because the surgeons in the world of American dramas, according to the official complaints, all have the superstitious self-confidence that they regard themselves as gods, so naturally they don't think that apart from medicine, they are inferior to those wolves of Wall Street in terms of investment.

So Dr. James Robert put his savings into investments, and then there was nothing.

Not only was all his savings in vain, but he also owed a large amount of debt, so he had to give up his good life and take the risk of doing this dangerous dirty work for billionaire Philip Wardry.

For what?
A mere 200 million rewards!
It's just his annual income.

But he, who owes money, has no choice but to use the money to plug the hole first.

The trial begins.

The victim, Drew McDenny, was called to the witness stand.

"Mr McDenny, would you please describe to the court how you felt when you woke up in Central Park that morning?"

asked Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone.

"Feel?"

The victim, Drew McDenny, didn't know what expression to make: "They took one of my kidneys! Some people would feel violated when a thief broke into his house and stole his TV, but me? I It feels like I have been strengthened!"

"Can you take off your shirt?"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone requested.

"Objection, Your Honor!"

The billionaire's defense attorney was the first to object.

What you hear and what you see are completely different impacts.

"The prosecution felt the jury should have looked at why he felt violated!"

Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone explained to the judge.

"invalid objection."

The judge decides directly.

The victim, Drew McDaniel, slowly opened his shirt, revealing a stitched wound that looked like a giant centipede.

The victim shed tears of shame as the jury couldn't bear to look directly at him.

"Last question, what do you think is the most satisfying outcome of this case for you?"

asked Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Stone.

"Give me back my kidney!"

The victim wept.

There is no suspense over the outcome of the trial, but as a billionaire, Philippe Wardry certainly won't be caught so easily, so there are still lawsuits.

after the initial trial.

"Hi, Chuck."

Vix Wieland came over with a woman, and greeted Chuck with a smile: "This is Joanna Wardry, I think you should know each other."

"Dr. Wolfe, did you know that my father set up a fund for Mr. McDenny and his children?"

The only daughter of the billionaire who forcibly transplanted a kidney said excitedly: "I don't think you know! This is how he does things, he doesn't like to show off, he doesn't seek personal gain, if you continue to sue him, he will die, I know he will die Yes, what's all this for? Mr. McDenny is going to be a very rich man."

"But only one kidney!"

Monica, who was standing next to Chuck, couldn't help reminding.

"Just like me!"

The only daughter of the billionaire retorted: "I hope we can all live a long and happy life!"

Seeing Monica staring at herself dumbfounded, she immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at Chuck burningly: "I know that the reason why the prosecutor stared at my father is all because of you, I hope you can do good deeds and win-win." Why do you have to hurt both sides?"

"Do you know the trial process?"

Chuck looked at her blankly: "Mr. McDaniel's most wanted result is to get the kidney back."

"I want to give it back to him too, trust me!"

The only daughter of the billionaire dodged her eyes for a moment, and said sincerely: "But I can't do it. Without this kidney, I will die, and even if I die, according to legal procedures, Mr. McDenny will not get it." This kidney."

"You don't need to pay back the kidney."

Chuck said with a blank expression: "I can persuade Mr. McDaniel to use the large sum of money from the foundation that you so-called 'not showy, not self-seeking' to hire you and your father to accept the punishment. It is a big challenge for a strong person, you can be held down anytime and anywhere, and you are not allowed to sue afterwards, as long as your father and daughter agree and are willing to personally experience the humiliation that Mr McDaniel suffered, I think he may be willing to forgive you."
