Chapter 122 The Eve Of The War
The prosecution against the No. 4 White Rose organization is in the First Circuit Court, which is the Donghai West District Court.

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

The dozens of cases numbered 950092158-950092175 passed the grand jury hearing very smoothly.

The grand jury of the First Circuit has a 4-year system, with 12 jurors, who conduct pre-trial hearings on criminal cases within these 4 years to decide whether they can enter the court trial stage, and adopt a simple majority vote to determine the result.

During the grand jury hearing, the defendant's lawyer is not present, and the defendant does not need to be present unless called by the grand jury. The hearing is mainly on the prosecution's evidence and how it was obtained.

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

Moreover, the judge has the final decision-making power, and the cases prosecuted by the prosecution are seldom dismissed directly at the pre-trial hearing stage.

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

Booker and Reynolds Jr., case number 950092158, are the two leading criminals in the racial vendetta organized by No. 4 White Rose.

These cases have all successfully passed the hearing.

……

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

Westerners and good restaurants usually don’t have the habit of private rooms, but in Beiguan, do as the Romans do, and there are several private rooms on the second floor that need to be paid separately.

Right now, Lu Ming and Cheng Lingyu, Deputy Director of the Great Prosecutor's Office, are in one of the private rooms.

The room is not big, but the decoration is very elegant. 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 outside, but you can't see it too clearly when you look at the next door. , Dining inside is very surreal in this era, and it feels pretty good.

"In the past few days, have you selected jurors?" Cheng Lingyu simply put a glass of water in front of him.

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

Cheng Lingyu smiled: "Don't worry, you can file a lawsuit with peace of mind!"

Lu Ming understands that Little Renault's revelations will naturally put pressure on Chief McCann, and his political opponents will not give up this opportunity to criticize him, especially since he is not actually a close friend of Chief McCann, let alone Confidant, I'm not even Chief McCann's man.

By chance, he was placed in this position.

At that time, Chief McCann could not help but say that he was young and outstanding, and he had the idea of ​​slowly observing and using it for his own use.

But Chief McCann obviously didn't expect that if he didn't make trouble, he would use it. If he did, he would blow up thunderstorms like the Renault family.

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

Chief McCann will have to think about what will happen if the prosecutor loses the case against Renault Jr.

At that time, I will definitely be an abandoned child, and I may not even be labeled as something inexplicably.

If you want the Great Prosecutor's Office to retreat without compromising its majesty, if you don't say it, you will become a liar for fame, defrauding the referrer, Deputy Chief Cheng Lingyu, and Chief McCann is completely unaware.

The successful conviction of the rest of the White Rose members must be due to the collective efforts of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. The false accusation against Little Renault was his own personal mistake.

Looking at Cheng Lingyu who was smiling all over his face, Lu Ming slowly picked up the water glass to drink water, Cheng Jian, did he know the crisis he might face?
"Brother Cheng, didn't Chief McCann ask me to change my mind about prosecuting Little Renault?"

Cheng Lingyu smiled: "No, you can go ahead and file a lawsuit! The Operations Office is considered an independent bureaucracy, and Chief McCann has no right to interfere with how you sue, right?"

Lu Ming smiled. In some countries with relatively large procuratorial powers in previous lives, each prosecutor can be regarded as an independent bureau. No matter what case is investigated or prosecuted, the superiors including the chief prosecutor are not allowed to interfere.

However, in the East China Sea Prosecutor's Office system, only the senior prosecutor level can be regarded as an independent official office, and has the right to investigate and prosecute any case.

Seeing Cheng Lingyu's smiling face, Lu Ming smiled and changed the subject, "Judge Dempsey, what kind of person is he?"

Demps will be the presiding judge in the case of Booker and Reynolds 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 the typical extremely proud Western old man barely learned Zhongzhou language because of the need for work or daily communication.

……

After getting out of St. Tesi, Lu Ming got into the car, feeling a little depressed.

In just a few months, Cheng Lingyu has changed to a considerable extent. However, it is no wonder that the deputy chief of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office can be regarded as a real political figure, and he is still a high-level political figure.

But in any case, he didn't mention a word about the difficulties he might face, which made people feel uncomfortable.

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

Suddenly, I wanted to go home.

……

However, when I got home, I found that the house was deserted. Pamela was probably busier than herself recently, and Bess was at school.

Bizhu was there instead of Hanzhu, and she was teaching Kuroki Saori to meditate. The two sat cross-legged facing each other, and they didn't know what they were doing.

In the record, there are sounds of nature, gurgling water, birdsong and so on.

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

……

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

But think about the style of that "aunt". If you go, the excitement may be lively, but you may make yourself one head and two big.

In my current mood, I just want to sit quietly for a while, and it is best to have someone beside me quietly accompanying me.

No more distractions at work, no sudden phone rings.

Think about this upcoming lawsuit, too.

This, for the first time, was a lawsuit that I felt unprecedented pressure on.

"Go to Windsor College!" Lu Ming coughed, and simply asked the little guy to skip school to accompany him. With her company, he would feel good.

But what my father did seems to be a bit outrageous.
