Chapter 275 Sentence
"But it's better than taking drugs or smoking tobacco, right? Doing some piston exercises properly is good for your physical and mental health." The Beggars' Sect disciple explained: "If you stick to fitness exercises and excrete the injected drugs through sweat gland secretion, you will definitely not have so many thoughts."
It seems that the Beggars' Sect disciples have also learned new knowledge from Dr. Jerry during this period.
The chief leader felt very pleased.
"Do you mind?" Zhang Ailun looked back at Maggie with a strange expression, "Do you need me to help you send your girlfriend in as well?"
When I come out, I will probably see the African savannah above my head, which is already green.
"I believe Manny. I just need to know that she loves me. She has slept with other men before anyway." Maggie looked indifferent. If a man wants to get by, he has to have some green hat on his head.
Zhang Ailun gave a thumbs up. He fastened his seat belt and asked the Beggar Gang disciple to drive to the Southern Court. He also looked at the sad and silent truck driver.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy."
"Sir, do you think I can be happy?" The truck driver said helplessly, "I was completely implicated by them. I will testify in court for you, so I shouldn't go to jail, right?"
"No. I can assure you that the responsibility lies with Blue Company and these few people. You only need to pay a fine at most." Zhang Ailun said.
The truck driver's face drooped. "My monthly salary is only $4000. I have no savings and I don't have a car or a house. How much fine do I need to pay?"
"I will help you pay the fine, you just need to appear in court to testify." Zhang Ailun said: "I can even let you continue to work in the outsourced fleet, the content of your job will remain the same, and you will be responsible for being the person in charge."
"Really?"
"I have never made a mistake in what I promised." Zhang Ailun comforted him, and the truck driver felt confident.
Soon the Beggars' Gang disciples drove to the court and parked in a nearby parking lot. Zhang Allen got out of the car and brought a few people to the door. Dave was chatting with his lawyer colleagues, and they were divided into two teams.
Dave is the defendant's lawyer who is responsible for collecting evidence for the defense of Azure Company. Azure Company's legal team is also forced to do this because the evidence is conclusive and the other party is all their own people, so they know that there is basically no hope.
The lawyers in the Southern Court were the plaintiffs' lawyers for Parker. Dave had already made arrangements with his colleagues, and the money was in their pockets. They were ready to strike hard at the Azure Company! Then they went home after get off work to buy the gifts they had been eyeing.
Zhang Ailun also saw Officer Mig and other senior police officers chatting at the entrance of the court, who were also responsible for maintaining order.
Oh, now it should be Sheriff Mig!
Rise rapidly to prominence.
The court also notified the victim's family and asked them to be present. The victim's family had already received compensation from Parker and had even spent a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the court had another new notice saying that the murderer was someone else, but the compensation would not be asked back. They were relieved and were willing to come and participate in the trial as victims.
Several bank executives also came. They were also confused when they received the notice from the court. They did not expect that just as they sent a debt collection reminder to Parker, the court informed them the next second that the case had changed and they needed to come to the court to listen and provide some evidence chain.
Afterwards, it was even necessary to transfer the debt, with Parker Company exempting itself from liability and demanding payment from Blue Company.
How could the creditor keep changing so much? But in order to get the money, the bank manager had no choice but to rush over to participate in the trial.
"Hello, Sheriff Mig." Zhang Ailun led his men up and waved to greet them.
"Hello, Mr. Jin." Sheriff Mig also stepped forward enthusiastically and shook hands with him, extending a sincere greeting.
The last time he met the chief leader, they were cooperating to capture a wanted criminal with a bounty. The chief leader provided clues and accompanied him throughout the whole process. Now he has suddenly become a billionaire capitalist, and he has also been promoted and given a raise. He is truly the breadwinner!
Accompanied by a lawyer from the Southern Court, Zhang Ailun led his men into the court.
The victim's family and bank employees were arranged to sit in the audience seats, while the Maji gang and the truck driver were used as witnesses and the murderer was given silver bracelets and new clothes, but was left sitting on the bench.
Zhang Ailun sat in the plaintiff's chair, accompanied by staff and lawyers, and served a cup of hot coffee.
As the Chief Justice and the jury judge sat down and knocked on the table, the court suddenly became silent and said, "Please invite the defendant's lawyer and the defendant's team to come to the court and take your seats."
The boss of Azure Company had a look of despair on his face, his mind was a mess, and he sat in the defendant's seat with the legal team and board members in a daze.
I glanced at the table and saw that there wasn't even a glass of ice water prepared. My mouth was dry.
"Parker is accusing Azure of malicious competition, hiring murder, and bribing a judge. Our Judicial Yuan is responsible for hearing this case. Parker's board of directors and its owner, Hamburger Juan King, are the plaintiffs, and Azure's board of directors and its owner, John Ford, are the defendants. Now, please allow the prosecutor to make a statement." The Chief Justice said expressionlessly.
"Mr. Judge, we have evidence to accuse Blue Company of malicious competition against Parker Company and hiring someone to kill someone. The incident started on March 3 when the former boss of Parker Company offended Blue Company due to market competition. The members of Blue's board of directors held a grudge and tried to use improper means to attack Parker's factory, causing serious losses. A fire broke out at the suburban site at 27 ., killing 4 innocent employees." The plaintiff's lawyer immediately made a statement.
He said: "Because Parker did not have sufficient evidence to prove that Weilan Company was engaged in malicious competition, under the pressure of public opinion and the accusations of the victims' families, it had no choice but to pay $760 million to each family of the deceased employees and a fine of $300 million and a deposit to continue operating, a total of $9420 million."
"Now our Parker board of directors has a complete chain of evidence and has found the tools and perpetrators of the crime. We can prove that Azure Company hired the homeless Maggie gang through street channels and used truck driver Kidd to transport white phosphorus to factory waste, causing the fire. We accuse Azure Company of malicious competition, hiring murderers, bribing judges, defying the law, and attempting to escape legal sanctions! We have completed our lawsuit statement, thank you, Chief Justice." The plaintiff's lawyer said and sat down.
The Chief Justice nodded with satisfaction.
His face darkened again, and he looked at the defendant's boss and board members of the Azure Company. "Now, please let the defendant make a statement. Do you have any doubts about the accusations made by the plaintiff? If so, please immediately produce evidence to defend yourself. If not, I will convict Azure Company of malicious competition, hiring murderers, bribing judges, and other crimes. Azure Company needs to compensate Parker Company for its asset losses, pay Parker Company $9420 million, and repay bank debts of $2060 million. The maximum sentencing standard is 300 years in prison."
The boss of Blue Company's hands started shaking when he heard this.
The defendant's lawyer looked at the evidence and said quickly, "Mr. Judge, we have doubts about hiring a killer to kill someone. Our company admits that it made a selective competition error, but it did not anticipate that someone would die. This was an accident!"
"Do you think you didn't have the conscious intention to hire someone to kill someone? Was it an accident?" asked the Chief Justice.
"That's right." The Blue Lawyers Team said stiffly.
"Your Honor, I object."
Maggie raised his hand and stood up, accusing the board of directors of Azure Company and scolding: "They spent $60,000 to hire us to carry out malicious competition against Parker Company. Knowing that the staff were present, they still insisted on letting us transport lethal amounts of flammable and explosive raw materials into the sorting site, causing chemical reactions between the raw materials and electronic waste, explosions and fires. This behavior is clearly deliberate and disregards human life. I plead guilty here! And admit my mistakes." "We did these things, and we did go to destroy the site facilities and kill people, but the real leaders are the board of directors and the boss of Azure Company! We just do things for money, I am willing to bear legal responsibility and punishment, but I also hope to see the devil of Azure Company brought to justice!"
"I plead guilty."
"I plead guilty, too."
A group of people admitted their wrongdoings. We were just competing maliciously and taking money to kill people.
"I was used by them. But I also plead guilty and take responsibility for my mistake," the truck driver also said.
"..."
The boss of the Blue Company turned green in the face.
You bastard! What good will it do you to blow yourself up here? If I go in, shouldn't you go in too?
The Chief Justice knocked on the table and nodded, saying, "The perpetrator and the defendant took the initiative to admit their mistakes and pleaded guilty to hiring a killer for malicious competition. The evidence is irrefutable. I declare them guilty! Secondly, before I started working, the employees of Azure Company wanted to bribe me with $500,000 and an apartment in the city center. Such behavior is simply a contempt of the law! Lawless!!"
"I hereby declare the board of directors and senior executives of Weilan guilty and sentence them to 300 years in prison, and the senior executives of the company to 180 years in prison. The bail amount for each person is 600-1700 million US dollars. They must also pay Parker 9420 million US dollars in compensation, pay the bank debt of 2060 million US dollars on its behalf, and add 40 US dollars in mental damages for each family of the victims, 20 US dollars in mental damages for each member of Parker's board of directors and senior executives, 500 million US dollars in site facility losses, and pay a market fine of 1500 million US dollars in deposit. The company shall not be listed or participate in regular commercial transactions in any market within two years. If there are any doubts, an appeal can be filed after paying the compensation and condolences to the families of the victims."
"The perpetrator Magee and the truck driver Kidd took the initiative to admit their mistakes. The former was sentenced to 40 years in prison with a bail of $100 million. The latter was suspected of knowing the crime and was responsible for not reporting it. No guilt trial was made, and he was detained for 7 days and fined $5 personally."
The Chief Justice immediately sentenced Blue Company to death. It was banned from participating in market operations for two years and was required to pay a fine and deposit of at least $ million. The individual sentence was 300 years, and the bail was at least $600 million and up to $1700 million. There was no guarantee that they would be able to get out of prison.
It made them bleed profusely.
Totally spicy!! So spicy!
After this incident, any smart shareholder would be so upset that he would want to pack up and run away.
"I appeal! I object to the judge's sentence!" The boss of the Blue Company's eyes turned black, his face turned pale, and he quickly stood up to appeal.
"No yelling in court!"
The Chief Justice rebuked: "Based on your evidence, the court will make a reasonable judgment. You can collect evidence to question and defend the sentence, but the charges of hiring a killer, malicious competition, and bribing the judge cannot be changed. Now, I declare that the trial of the Weilan Company case is over and the court is adjourned!"
He knocked on the table, stood up and left.
The victims' families also had tears in their eyes. They didn't expect that just by attending the trial, they could get an additional $40 in compensation. It was truly a great favor from the Lord!
He immediately started cursing at the people from the Blue Company.
If there hadn't been a police officer stopping them, they would have gone up and punched them twice.
Maggie and his gang were also relieved. Twelve lives, only 40 years in prison, that was good enough.
If he behaves better in prison, he will be released in a few years after several sentences are reduced and lawsuits are filed.
The boss of the Blue Company sat on the bench, shivering, and the legal team next to him was helpless. The perpetrators had exposed themselves, and when they failed to bribe the judge, they were dragged out and beaten violently by the other party.
What else can we do?
Dave comforted her, "It's okay. I will collect evidence for you outside and try to get a defense reduction on the sentence. The bail may not be that high."
The boss of Azure Company was in tears.
There are still many good people in the world!!
Look, although they are free, they are more reliable than those lawyers who charge for money!
When Zhang Ailun heard this, his face turned strange and he looked at Boss Wei Lan with pity.
It's over. It's really over now.
The boss of Blue Company was detained in prison, and members of the board of directors were also detained on suspicion of illegal operations. Their personal assets were also temporarily frozen, and they are unlikely to be able to get out in the short term.
Regarding fines and compensation, the court notified the Finance Department of Azure Company and asked them to pay Parker Company US$9460 million and US$500 million for site facility damages, totaling US$9960 million.
Soon the lawyer came over with a list and a form and handed them to Zhang Ailun. "Mr. Jin, this is the loss caused by Weilan Company to Parker Company. You can sign it after confirming that it is accurate. At the same time, there is also compensation for the mental damage caused to the senior executives of Parker Company, 20 US dollars per person."
"20 US dollars per person?" Zhang Ailun's eyes lit up.
The lawyer immediately understood what he was thinking and said tactfully, "Excluding those who have been fired or resigned, there should only be seven senior executives in Parker now."
"But I have recently recruited seven or eight more people. Now our company has at least 15 potential senior executives." Zhang Allen immediately explained: "Mr. Lawyer, our Hamburg Foundation is currently short of several legal advisors in addition to Lawyer Dave and Congressman Jackson. I wonder if you are interested in coming here to work part-time?"
"Of course I'm interested!" The lawyer smiled and coughed. "Yes, after verification, it turns out that there are indeed 15 executives of your Parker company. In this case, in addition to paying you $9960 million in compensation, Azure Company also needs to pay an additional $16 to each of the 320 executives and board members, including you, for a total of $ million in mental damages."
Zhang Ailun signed without hesitation and also wrote down the name list of the Beggars' Sect disciples, a total of fifteen people.
It was a good deal for Lei Ke's old employees, as they were also involved. Now that the leader fired them afterwards, they couldn't say that the leader was heartless, right?
It's not too excessive. Otherwise, hundreds of executives in a company would be too outrageous and fake. No one has paid taxes, and other departments have come to verify it. The court cannot cover it up either.
Just know when to stop.
Winning the lawsuit brought a direct profit of $100 million!
