ferocious for the rest of my life

Chapter 44 Questioning
The Sonoma County Assistant Prosecutor's Office is capable and rigorous, and his expressions are quite clear.

But Yu Sheng didn't understand, so he began to question. "Simplified procedure? The purpose is just for a quick conclusion?"

"Yes, if you agree."

Is there room for negotiation on this kind of thing?
Yu Sheng didn't quite understand the tricks here, so Zhen asked with his words carefully. "That is to say, if you agree, I don't need to appear in court, and the case will be concluded by the judge as soon as possible?"

"Yes."

"A school bullying incident of such a bad nature is only punished by expulsion from school and a sentence of community service? It won't go to jail, and the punishment is too light, right?"

The assistant attorney general shook his head. "The perpetrators are all minors. Although the charges are suspected of armed robbery and injury, even if they are charged with related charges, the final judge may not accept the prosecution's charges, not to mention that if a jury trial is required, the time It will be delayed longer, the probability of re-sentencing is not high, and there are fewer precedents that can be referred to..."

"There will be no heavy sentences in this case? No wonder the local law and order is so poor and the crime rate is so high!"

The assistant prosecutor didn't pay attention to Yu Sheng's sarcasm, but put on a businesslike appearance and continued. "This case involves people of color and international students. If the trial is open, there will be widespread reports, and there will be great pressure from all sides. Don't misunderstand, the pressure I am referring to does not lie in which school , the families of the perpetrators, etc., but because of the procrastination and rigor of the legal procedures, there is a high probability that it will be delayed for many years before the verdict is issued. And in the end, it is likely that the purpose of punishment will not be achieved and resources will be wasted. The key is It may not satisfy the public, nor may it satisfy you personally..."

Yu Sheng became more and more puzzled. "Isn't Sonoma part of America? Isn't the rule of law and fairness claimed by America all boasted? This is the final result of a case of such a bad nature?"

"The nature is indeed bad, but the perpetrators are underage, no matter where they are, they can get appropriate forgiveness. Even if the summary procedure is adopted, the judge will definitely punish them severely. Bullying in schools cannot be tolerated. This is the bottom line. However, in view of the case involved The skin color of the two parties and the incidents are becoming more and more sensitive. The NGO organization that promotes the anti-bullying bill in schools is paying attention. If it attracts protests from affirmative action organizations, it may not be possible to wait until the perpetrators have graduated from college. There is a conclusion..."

"The premise is that these bastards can go to college and graduate!"

Yu Sheng's anger was exchanged for the Assistant Prosecutor's wry smile. "I understand your feelings, and I understand your reluctance. You are an adult, but your studies have not yet been completed. You should be able to enjoy a peaceful life free from media interference. Once you cannot enter the summary procedure, the defendants will definitely ask for disclosure. During the trial, the media will flock to the trial, and the tabloid reporters will be all-pervasive. This will inevitably cause a considerable degree of interference and influence on you. After considering the opinions of all parties and the judge, I feel that it is necessary to ask for your own opinion. Opinion……"

Yu Sheng understood.

Concord International High School is quite capable.

In order to cover up the campus scandal, he did not hesitate to collude with some departments to exert joint pressure. Of course, the purpose is obviously not to let the bullies get off the crime smoothly. It should be purely because they don’t want to make things big and stir up things so as to affect the reputation of the school. , affecting future enrollment and earnings...

"And what if I disagree?"

The Assistant Attorney shrugged, looking indifferent. "If you don't agree, then follow the normal procedure. The trial will start within six months. Given the defendant's right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, the formation of the jury is likely to be quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. , the first trial may end within [-] months. Then the defendant will appeal, or even apply for an independent prosecutor to intervene. Then the trial will be concluded after three to five years. The key is that you still need to come back during the whole process. There will be many times to accept inquiries, and the procedures will be quite cumbersome..."

Being an adult has its advantages, but it also seems to have a lot of disadvantages.

Injury identification of brainstem damage may not be a gold medal for avoiding death, but I dare not pin my hopes on the fact that the attending doctor will not be aware of the strangeness.

What's more, once it attracts the attention of the media and is remembered by tabloid reporters, it is obvious that it will not be safe in the future whether it is doing work or studying. Soup...

No!

Absolutely not!

After a long silence, Yu Sheng finally spoke word by word. "It must be severely punished!"

"Yes! That is my duty in itself."

He got the promise of the assistant prosecutor, but Yu Sheng was not very happy. At night, a coquettishly dressed old woman was led into the ward by the director of training, Ms. Ellie, which angered Yu Sheng!

Because this old woman is nominally the representative of the study abroad consulting company in the East of the United States, but in fact she is a fraudulent study abroad agency!

The old woman was a familiar person, and when she sat down, she warmly held Yu Sheng's hand, as if she was coming to express condolences and concern. "Oh, did you suffer? I know it's too late. Auntie didn't come to see you earlier. Auntie said sorry to you first. But don't blame Auntie for talking about you. It's such a big deal? No The losses and injuries are not very serious. Forget it. When you are outside, you have to be careful and bear with everything. We are all foreigners here. If we are on other people’s land, we must be controlled by them. Follow the rules here, what kind of bullying in school? As for being so serious? Besides, is it possible that there are fewer such things in China? Don’t worry about it, you can’t worry about it, if you keep worrying about it, just in case the school is messed up What can I do if I have withheld your graduation certificate? Auntie is also doing it for your own good, young people must listen to persuasion..."

"You still dare to threaten me? If there is a problem with my diploma, the first thing I will do is to sue you!"

"Sue me?" The old woman was taken aback. "Sue me for what?"

"Study abroad scams! False publicity! Fake university application documents! Bribing university admissions officers and various visa frauds! As long as one of them can be established, your dream of getting rich will be gone! Also, you used fake marriages to go to the United States, Believe it or not, I'll tell you all the shit about visa expiration? Let's see how the court decides!"

The old woman jumped up in fright. "You, what do you want to do?"

"Would you like to stay in prison here? All right, I'll let you! Don't meddle with things you shouldn't and can't afford to meddle with! This is a criminal case! Do you know that you've broken the law? Think Suppress my matter, keep it private? Believe it or not, I rang the bell, and when the police came, I would tell you the situation, and believe it or not, you would be detained and taken away on the spot?"

"Don't, don't, don't talk if you don't talk, why are you losing your temper? I'll go, can't I go right away?"

The study abroad agency who had been placed with high hopes ran away, and Ms. Ellie, the dean of students, who couldn't understand what was said between the two parties, was also confused. However, her years of experience in the industry were enough for her to cope with various situations, and she clearly understood the situation. Throat said. "Borrowing an old saying from the East, it is better to resolve enemies than to tie them..."

"Where were you when I was being blackmailed? Where were you when I was being asked for trouble? Where were you when I was cornered in the bathroom without help? School bullying, this is a criminal case! Don't you think that even if you negotiate on behalf of the school, you are suspected of obstructing justice?"

After Yu Sheng asked repeatedly, Ms. Ai Li, the dean of instruction, was speechless, and Yu Sheng's questioning made her face turn pale...
