Chapter 2100: Chapter 2100 fat sheep masquerading as a tiger (first update)

After Gu Nianzhi posted on Weibo, she handed her phone to her a.s.sistant and placed it in the locker outside. She led her team into the imperial high-level court martial.

Todays court session was very abrupt, unlike the previous ones.

Although the notice of the court session would normally be given in advance to the defendant and the defendants lawyer, it was not necessary.

Special cases were handled in special circ.u.mstances. Moreover, the courts various preparations had already been done. The judges and clerks were already in place, so the trial could be held whenever they wanted.

Logically speaking, the defendant should have been mentally prepared. After all, the jurisdiction case had been going on for more than two months.

If it was a lawyer with normal thinking, they would know that the trial could be held in minutes.

Only Kevins American lawyers were used to being arrogant. They had always thought that the Huaxia Empire was just a fat sheep pretending to be a tiger. Although they barked fiercely, they were actually weak.

They definitely did not dare to refute the Americans request.

Didnt they see that they had tripped the other party with a jurisdiction case for two months?

They were already certain that the Huaxia side was just embarra.s.sed and was waiting for a way out.

So when the news of the high court martial in the imperial capital hearing Kevens case came, Kevens American lawyers were still playing with their phones in the Sheraton hotel room, they were waiting for the jurisdiction case to be heard for the nth time after the 15th day of the first month.

What did you say? ! The trial is today? ! Are you kidding me? ! The jurisdiction case hasnt been decided yet? !

Yeah, is it a prank? Or is it fake news?

Call that Deputy Minister again and ask him. He promised us that he would help us extradite Keven back to the United States!

The members of the American legal team were so angry that they almost jumped out of their seats. They cursed and swore all the way as they rushed to the imperial capitals high military court with their own people. They were almost late.

When they panted as they walked into the court, they saw a young woman in an ordinary black suit and trousers sitting at the plaintiffs table. In front of her was her nameplate: the prosecutions lawyer, Gu Nianzhi.

The woman smiled at the door. Her eyes were as big as black grapes, and her skin was fair and clear. The white LED lights from the court shone on her face, and her cheeks glowed like the petals of the first snow. It was a natural beauty, it was breathtaking.

She looked at her nameplate again, and the suffocating feeling became even stronger.

But before, she had been breathless from the shock. Now, she was breathless from the shock.

The prosecution had actually mobilized Gu Nianzhi, the barrister!

The people in the American legal team were all experienced experts. Otherwise, they would not have been hired by Carlyle to defend Keven in Huaxia.

It was just the number of people. Her experience in court was indeed not as rich as theirs.

However, she had a strong record. Ever since she debuted, she had been involved in many big cases. In terms of quality, these people combined could barely match her.

Gu Nianzhi had studied Kevens American legal team before the New Year.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy could you win all battles.

She knew both of them. One was Smith, who had been he zhichus right-hand man and a former colleague. He had worked with her in Germany and was now a senior lawyer at the largest law firm in the United States.

The other person was not technically known, but she knew him.

This person was Lu Anpeng. When they were in the other world, Lu Anpeng was a partner at the law firm of the Jin Corporation. He was also a barrister.

But in this world, he was actually a partner of the largest law firm in the United States.

Gu Nianzhi had fought with Lu Anpeng in the other world in court. It was about the case in which Qin Suwens family had been vindicated.

In that world, Lu Anpeng could be considered a person with a sense of justice. He was Qin Yaoguangs defense lawyer, and his professional ethics were impeccable.

Gu Nianzhis eyes flashed. She would not see Lu Anpeng here as the same person as Lu Anpeng in the other world. It would be easy to underestimate the enemy.

Smith saw Gu Nianzhi when he entered. He paused in his steps, smiled at her, and nodded. Then he walked over to where his defense lawyer was sitting.

There were many barristers here today. Although Smith was a senior lawyer, he wasnt qualified to fight in court.

Lu Anpeng was obviously an important member of Kevins American legal team. He was sitting in the front row with two other people, and he was sitting in the middle.

This was also the so-called c-seat, and it was only given to the most important people.

After they sat down, the judge knocked on the gavel, he asked in a dignified manner, Ms. Song Jinning, director of the Insitute of high energy physics, Imperial Capital Police and Security Bureau, has accused the defendant, Kevin Laris, of illegal possession of a gun, bombing, kidnapping, and premeditated murder. The trial has officially begun.

As soon as the judge finished speaking, one of Kevins leading members of the American legal team immediately raised his hand and said, Objection! Our jurisdiction is still pending, and this court does not have the authority to review this case!

Gu Nianzhi looked over without batting an eyelid.

The first three people to sit at the defense side of the dock were all older men, with the exception of Lu anpeng, who was Chinese in the middle.

The nameplate on the left in front of them read, Arif Larry, the barrister, is Indian..

The nameplate on the right read, Arif Larry, the barrister, Paul Creedon, looks like a white man from the south of the United States..

The first person to raise his hand to object was the Indian barrister on the left, Arif Larry.

He not only spoke English, but also Chinese well. He only had a slight accent, but it did not hinder understanding.

The judges face was expressionless as he raised his hand to ask gu nianzhi, Counselor, do you have anything to say?

Gu Nianzhi stood up unhurriedly and said, Thank you, your honor.

She then looked at the aggressive Indian lawyer and asked, Mr. Larry, are you a graduate of Harvard Law School in the United States?

Of course. Arent you going to check your opponents resume?Arif Larry looked gu nianzhi up and down and was very wary of her.

In his opinion, the only race that could compete with their Indian race in terms of IQ was Chinese.

Gu Nianzhi was famous and so young, so he had to take her seriously.

Gu Nianzhi had long since memorized all of this.

She said unhurriedly, Mr. Arif Larry graduated from Harvard Law School with first-cla.s.s honors thirty years ago and became the representative of the current batch of graduates. He spoke at the graduation ceremony and was ranked first on the New York Timesannual law graduates ranking.

You know a lot about it.Arif looked at her coldly and became even more vigilant.

Yes, of course I do.Gu Nianzhi spread her hands, But I dont understand. You have such a good educational background. Why Dont you know that for foreign-related criminal cases, jurisdiction and official cases are never mutually exclusive?

You come from Was.h.i.+ngton, D.C. , the capital of the United States. As far as I know, Was.h.i.+ngton, D.C. tried three foreign-related criminal cases in 20X, 20Y, and 20Z, respectively. The dispute between territorial jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction runs through the entire trial process

With precedents, of course we can do it at the same time.

Arifs eyes widened, he said in surprise, But thats a case that happened in the United States. Of course we can do it at the same time. And this is a case that happened in China. Do you think you have the right to follow our American precedents? In short, if you dont clarify your jurisdiction, you have no right to try cases related to us Americans!
