"Riker's Island Prison?"

The billionaire lawyer screamed in surprise.

In the United States, whether it is the amount of bail or the level of prison where a person is held while awaiting trial, they all represent the judge’s inner tendency to a certain extent.

The current attitude of the female judge is obviously unfavorable to billionaire Philippe Wardray.

It is obvious that the female judge who has read the file is disgusted from the bottom of her heart by the crime of forcibly removing a healthy person's kidney to give to her daughter, and does not give any dignity to the billionaire who should have enough dignity.

"The defendant, James Robert, is charged with attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, conspiracy in the first degree, and grand larceny."

At the female judge's signal, the recorder helped the judge continue reading the next charge.

"How does the defense respond?"

The female judge looked at the defendant, Dr. James Robert.

"Not guilty, your honor!"

It is naturally impossible for Dr. James Robert to plead guilty.

With so many charges added up, he would have to plead guilty and spend his time in jail.

"What does the prosecutor want?"

The female judge asked the African-American assistant prosecutor again.

"The prosecutor is very outraged by the violence and brutality of the defendant's crime. Your Honor, the prosecutor believes that such a brutal act requires a bail of $750,000."

The African-American assistant prosecutor said.

"May I speak, Your Honor?"

The defendant, Dr. James Robert, couldn't help but speak.

"It is your right."

The female judge opened her hands in agreement.

"I believe we all have a role to play, Your Honor."

The defendant, Dr. James Robert, wanted to impress the female judge: "But a 62-year-old grandmother with six grandchildren is lying in Gramercy Hospital, looking forward to a critical kidney surgery tonight."

"so what?"

The female judge asked questions knowingly.

"The prosecutor's unreasonable demands will cause serious or even irreparable damage to her!"

The defendant, Dr. James Robert, skillfully stood on the moral high ground at this moment.

"Your love of life has impressed us, doctor."

The female judge said seriously whether it was a compliment or a mockery: "The bail is 350,000 US dollars! Clerk!"

"..."

The defendant, Dr. James Robert, immediately looked at his lawyer, but the lawyer could only shrug helplessly.

The same crime and the same bail as billionaire Philippe Vaudry says it all.

"The defendant Elena Hella is charged with first-degree assault and first-degree conspiracy."

The clerk continued to read the charges against the third defendant.

"How does the defense respond?"

The female judge looked at the defendant nurse Elena Hella.

"Your Honor, my client is willing to plead guilty."

The defense lawyer glanced at his client and replied on her behalf: "Your Majesty, please consider that my client took the initiative to plead guilty and had a direct impact on preventing the escalation of the crime and saving the plaintiff's life. Please give me a lighter sentence."

He actually prepared two plans. One was to struggle with the other defendants and try to get acquitted.

Another option is to simply kneel down and confess your guilt.

Looking at the situation now, both he and his client are more inclined to plead guilty directly in exchange for preferential sentencing treatment from the judge.

There is no way, the attitude of the female judge is like this, the most important thing is that the intimidation of Detective Chuck is too strong, if you resist hard, the chance of success feels too small.

"What's the prosecutor's opinion?"

The female judge looked at the African-American assistant prosecutor.

"The prosecution has no objection."

The African-American assistant prosecutor nodded.

This is also the result of their discussion with Chuck.

Chuck did not accept the plea bargain and compromised with the criminal.

After investigation, nurse Elena Hella did have factual basis for a lighter punishment. Now after the evidence was confirmed, she was willing to plead guilty directly and had a good attitude. Therefore, with Chuck's consent, the prosecutor did not make a plea bargain.

However, it does not recommend the maximum sentencing, leaving this discretion to the judge.

The female judge glanced at the defendant nurse Elena Hella and saw that she had no objection, so she directly agreed to the request and pronounced the sentence in court.

This result made the other defendants and the defendant's lawyers look a bit unhappy.

Originally, there were advantages and disadvantages to having Detective Chuck intervene in this case. The disadvantage was that Detective Chuck was too sharp in collecting evidence, and it was easy for the crime to be uncovered.

But the advantage is that Detective Chuck doesn't know how to work around, and he is stubborn and does not allow prosecution and plea bargaining. This can force the criminals who conspired together to unite to fight the prosecutor's accusations, and there is a possibility of acquittal.

also increased relatively.

But now nurse Elena Hella, who is an important coconspirator and participant, has directly confessed, which is the biggest bad news for them.

The co-conspirators have all confessed directly, and no plea bargain has yet been made. Once she is called to the witness stand, her testimony will be very credible to the jury.

The jury must have directly considered the defendants guilty.

Coupled with the attitude of the female judge.
