"I do not know what you're talking about."

Carl doesn't look directly at Chuck.

"Looks like it's been wiped off."

Chuck said expressionlessly: "Why do you want to be friends with Tim so often?"

"Because we are good friends."

Karl couldn't help but said.

"lie!"

Chuck said bluntly: "If you were really a good friend, would you watch your mother make ten abusive phone calls and one threatening phone call to your good friend's home?"

Carl was silent.

"I understand that those who are usually discriminatory and hostile to Tim Chang did not choose to shoot Tim Chang themselves or their families. Instead, your family members who claimed to be friends fired three shots in the street."

Chuck said calmly: "Keep friends closer and enemies closer."

Karl became more and more silent, unwilling to say another word.

"Take him back and check if there are any gunpowder residues on his hands!"

Chuck reminded.

"Child, come with us!"

Detective Max sighed and looked at Carl.

Although Karl looked quite smart and kept his teeth silent, his expression and eyes still revealed everything.

Even if he was not involved in the murder, he was definitely involved in assisting the murder.

At the very least, the fingerprints on the murder gun will be destroyed afterwards and the evidence will be destroyed.

If it is detected that gunpowder residue remains on the fingerprints on Carl's hand when wiping the gun, then Carl will be in big trouble.

Detective Max took Carl and the clothes searched from Bolander's house, which may have been the clothes the gunman Randy wore on the day of the murder, to the laboratory for testing.

In the police station, Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone and the African-American Assistant Prosecutor also rushed over. After learning of the progress, they began to put pressure on the Boland family.

"Mr. Boland, Mrs. Boland, and Randy, what are you doing all this for?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone persuaded: "For Carl? But because of your impulsiveness, not only an innocent genius boy has died, but also another genius boy. You cherish Karl the most and want to give him the best, but also

Because I wiped your butt, I am suspected of deliberately destroying evidence and assisting in murder. Do you know what this means?"

"No!"

Mrs. Boland exclaimed: "Karl didn't do anything! You are not allowed to slander him!"

"You know whether it is slandering him or not."

The African-American assistant prosecutor said from the side: "The police have taken him for testing. Once there is gunpowder residue on his hands from destroying fingerprints and wiping the murder gun, he will not be able to get rid of the involvement."

"If you plead guilty now, we can consider that he was impulsive out of filial piety and give him a lighter sentence."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone looked around the three of them: "But if you refuse to plead guilty, then your whole family will be prosecuted. I believe you don't need to explain it. Your previous lawyer should have told you very clearly that in this case, you have no

Odds of winning!”

There is one thing he hasn't said yet, that is, your family has no money!

Litigation costs money, and litigating in the United States is even more of a money game.

As long as there is money, even if the evidence is conclusive, even if the entire crime process is directly captured on video, the devil's advocate may use complicated paperwork to delay the final verdict for years or even ten years.

During this process, as long as you have money, you can be released on bail pending trial and live a normal life.

There are no life sentences in the United States, only the accumulation of various sentences, often hundreds or even thousands of years, which seems very unfriendly to criminals.

But that's just unfriendly to the senses.

The fact is that hundreds or thousands of years can be reduced again and again, and finally it may come out in a few years.

But if it is life imprisonment and death penalty... life imprisonment is infinite, no matter how you find reasons to reduce the sentence, you will still have to sit in jail until death.

The death penalty was immediately imposed.

So under the premise that the result of being jailed cannot be changed, how can we operate in the later stage?

Therefore, although New York has the death penalty, it is not used at all. It always advocates the complete abolition of the death penalty, and there is no life sentence. All sentences are cumulative.

It's that simple.

But this simple and practical game of money, the willfulness of power, only requires that you have the willfulness and sufficient money to play the game of law.

Obviously, the Boland family does not have the financial resources at all.

"Mother!"

Randy subconsciously looked at his mother.

The withdrawal of lawyers and the pressure from prosecutors made him feel suffocated.

Mr. Boland's face was ashen. He never imagined that the situation was so bad that even their family's best hope, Karl, would be involved by his stupid wife.

Well now, the eldest son is directly the shooter, and the younger son who did all this may also be prosecuted for destroying evidence and assisting in murder.

This originally good home is over!

If he had known this situation earlier, he would rather take his own gun and kill this stupid prodigal woman with one shot!

"Mr. Stone..."

Just when he was about to compromise and ask Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone not to prosecute his youngest son, Carl, and to recommend the lowest sentencing possible, the interrogation room door was pushed open.

An old white male elite lawyer with white hair and a suit came in, smiled at everyone and said: "Sorry, I'm late, Mr. Stone, I am the lawyer of the Boland family, please let me and my

The parties concerned should talk alone!"

"Mr. Will, when did you become the Boland family's lawyer?"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone frowned and looked at the old white male lawyer who suddenly interrupted him when he was about to successfully pressure the Boland family to plead guilty, and recognized him.

This is also a famous criminal barrister in New York, but he has always served wealthy people and cannot be the lawyer of the Boland family.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Mrs. Bolland?"

The old white male lawyer Will had a classic American fake smile on his face and looked at Mrs. Boland who was at a loss.

"Yes! He is our lawyer!"

Mrs. Boland looked at the high-end suit customized by the lawyer Will, realized it, and immediately said excitedly: "We need to discuss it with the lawyer!"

"Mr. Stone, look?"

The old white male lawyer Will looked at Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone with a smile.

"All right."

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone could only leave with his assistants, giving up the space to them.

"It seems like someone is going to step in to help the Boland family."

After coming out, the African-American assistant prosecutor reminded: "This is not good."

"Damn racism!"

Executive Assistant Prosecutor Ben Stone guessed it and couldn't help but cursed: "It complicates a simple case!"
