Best Actor

    "In recent reports, we have noticed a problem, a very serious problem, many media have convicted Sean when they reported related content, and they have already convicted Sean in their reports Sean is convicted. I don't know when they became judges, but I know what the law says, no one can convict another until the court has delivered a verdict! Not to mention the whole case is still under investigation among!

    I know you can give a lot of explanations, you will come up with a lot of regulations to defend yourself, like the First Amendment, but it can't swim, I have a list in my hand, a long enough List, once the investigation is over and Sean is cleared - yes, we fully believe it - then we'll be prosecuting one by one! Please clarify the situation, this is a criminal case! Not a civil case! "

    In a joint press conference with Cassell's lawyers, Frederick unceremoniously claimed that he waved documents on the podium and made a menacing threat, as if The following media are all enemies.

      I will use this method to divert attention." Some newspapers continued to ridicule, but most of them were tabloids, and slightly larger newspapers still restrained.

    For example, the "Chicago Tribune" changed its tone: "The results are still under investigation, but Sean's biggest suspicion cannot be eliminated no matter what, we will continue to pay attention."

    Although the media still thinks Sean is very suspicious and attracts attention with this great article, but as Frederick said, this is a criminal case, not a civil case, and the wording must be precise. Jackson's child molestation case and Simpson's wife murder case are two of the best examples. The former is a civil case and involves minors, so the prosecution is legally protected from being transparent, so the media can spread rumors and directly convict Jackson. Even the judge said before the trial that he was definitely guilty.

    Simpson's wife murder case is different. Although many shameless tabloids accused him of being the murderer, they did not forget to add "very likely" and "most suspect" Other words, more newspapers and media also did not say it to death, basically they kept up with their own views after detailed analysis, even if they had already determined that Simpson was the murderer in their hearts.

    Of course, there are many factors that suppress the fanatical voice of the media. For example, the law firm is operating very well. Like the press conference mentioned above, after Frederick came up and sang a white face , Cassel began to sing the white face.

    "100% innocent," he said. "So far, the urine test has shown that Sean is not on drugs, and we will be collecting more evidence to prove the police wrong."

    Cassel is not a defense lawyer, he is just the head of the firm, but what he is good at is manipulating the media, drawing their attention to himself, and showing the media what they want to see, Guide their minds and let them follow his rhythm. What's more, there is strong support from Sean, who is much richer than Simpson, and has his own publicity channels.

    Yes, it's Facebook and YouTube, which was bought not long ago. Under the planning of the law firm, Sean first wrote a short message appealing in a sincere tone on his facebook homepage. , and then YouTube uploaded a video of the same content. Under Cassell's instructions, he acted very carefully. He did not attack the police or the media, nor did he defend himself. He just repeatedly expressed the hope that everyone will wait until the investigation is over before making a judgment.

    This made facebook and YouTube hit like crazy, facebook is okay, now it has more than 5 million active users, and there is no shortage of such clicks, but it is different for YouTube, Sean's confession The short became the first video to surpass one million views. With these communication channels not occupied by malicious media, and finally neutral newspapers such as the "San Francisco Chronicle", the firm works well - for example, there were newspapers that were disgusting to find victims before. Family members, a woman weighing 200 pounds, wept on camera for her dead husband, preaching how kind and popular her dead husband was.

    The public perception of this kind of thing is generally biased towards the family members of the victims, and she will naturally get more sympathy even if what she said is inconsistent with the facts - according to Sean and the lawyer According to the investigation of the firm, the husband she died was an alcoholic. She had been called to the police for domestic violence before. A good husband and a good father were nothing at all.

    However, this does not prevent women from playing in front of the camera, and the media also like to report on this, as long as it can attract attention, there is nothing they dare not do. But Sean didn't refute the first time, and even secretly added fuel to the flames, exaggerating how beautiful and peaceful their family was, what kind of loss the sudden car accident caused them, and so on.

      . Gradually, after reading more and more of these news, the public finally began to become suspicious and nauseated, so at this time, her family situation was thrown out. Although it would not engrave the imprint of a liar on the woman, it was enough to make many people before. Those who sympathized with her were disgusted.

    In this process, the media is quite cooperative. It is their long-term job to hold someone up and then step on them, as long as they can increase the sales of the newspaper or the click rate of the website.

    Of course, it is fortunate that none of the family is black, otherwise, this trick will not work so well.

    In short, because of these various reasons, and he is usually popular in the circle, Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney, Bruce Willis or Anthony Minghella, Martin Scorsese has said on various occasions that a conclusion can only be drawn after the results of the investigation by the police or the judgment of the court. eyes.

    In fact, these are more or less routines, but they can remain neutral or even a little biased towards him at this time, which is already very good.

    However, it is not that no one has made unreasonable remarks. James Frank said that if he sat in such a thing, he would definitely turn himself in.

    Sean searched in his mind for a long time before he recalled that when he walked past Kirsten Dunst in front of him, he didn't need to pay attention to such a small role, even Decap Neither Leo nor Affleck said a word.

    He recommended DiCaprio to play the leading role in The Departed, and agreed with Wahlberg's recommendation of Matt Damon to play another leading role, so he exchanged them Keep your mouth shut at this time. No matter DiCaprio or Affleck, their face has not yet reached the point where they turned their face after receiving the benefits, but I believe they must be very happy in their hearts, and even hope that he will be convicted and imprisoned.

    But in any case, Sean was not besieged by the media like Jackson, which allowed him and his legal team to grasp the situation, but the final result depends on what happens later.

    "Let's be honest, Adam, we have an advantage." Indeed, prosecutor Thomas Anderson said condescendingly with his hands in his trouser pockets.

    "Oh? Are you saying that there were no cameras in the parking lot, or witnesses who didn't see the driver at all?" Adam Cassell, sitting in a chair, kept Smiling, he didn't seem to take it to heart at all, "Put that aside, Anderson."

    “I know, you have urine tests and a Lost Report from the Santa Monica precinct, but, so far, no one has proven that your client was there overnight,” Anderson He raised his eyebrows, "We have more evidence."

    He leaned down and said, "Tell your client, if he will make a plea deal, I promise he will only need to spend at most three years in prison."

    "I'm sorry, my client is innocent," Cassel shrugged, then stood up, "Okay, this is the end of today's meeting, everything is left to the jury Panel ruling."

    After finishing the meeting with the prosecution as a representative, Cassel, who walked out of the building, frowned slightly, and the confident smile before was gone.

    "Hey, John," Frederick, who was waiting outside, came over immediately, "How is the situation?"

    "A bad news or a good news, which one should you listen to first?" Cassel immediately returned to her previous appearance.

     "Bad news." The agent picked one at random.

    "The bad news is that the case can only be resolved in court now, and we must immediately start to select the jury and adjust the strategy so that the other side cannot have the advantage." Cassel said.

    “What about the good news?” Frederick asked again.

     "The evidence in Anderson's hands has not increased much, and it is still circumstantial evidence. Whoever can persuade the jury in court at that time will win." The lawyer said quickly.

    "What is your strategy?" Frederick continued.

    "Prove that Sean couldn't have made it from Huntington Park back to Santa Monica in four hours, unnoticed and unseen, to prove that the drunk was the first to violate traffic ." Cassel came to his car.

    "What are our chances of winning?" After pondering, the agent finally asked this question.

    "It's hard to say, anything can happen during the trial. Our evidence is also only circumstantial evidence. The results of the urine test can prove that Sean did not use drugs, but it cannot prove that he did not hide drugs." The lawyer who got into the car stuck his head out, "I personally suggest you, Rogers, do your best to find witnesses in Santa Monica."

    "I see." Frederick sighed, watching the lawyer's car disappear before picking up the phone with a wry smile.

    He did know what Cassell meant, but the other party didn't clarify it, and he didn't say much. Some people didn't listen to persuasion on some things.
