Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Fourth America's No. 1 Case
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
At dawn, Los Angeles is shrouded in darkness. It is not like Rodel Street and other bustling sections of the city that never sleeps. The night is very quiet, and most people rarely go out alone. At night, this is a truly dark world.
Several cars set off from the Old Chinatown and soon arrived near a bar that looked a bit shabby. The leader greeted him and the people in the car looked for a secret place and lie near the bar, waiting for the target person to appear.
The sun gradually climbed into the sky, and the sun shone on the earth. The light dispelled the darkness. The roads without vitality at night returned to the hustle and bustle. The number of pedestrians on the road began to increase. The somewhat dilapidated bar did not open the door in the afternoon like other bars. Instead, it opened the door early in the morning, as if there were still customers during this period.
Two black cars suddenly appeared on the road, getting closer and closer...
The gunshot suddenly rang out on the streets of Los Angeles, shocking countless pedestrians. The crazy Vietnamese made crazy moves, and the other side was not a lamb to be slaughtered. After a brief panic, they also pulled their guns and fought back...
Shootings are common in the United States, but there are not many street gun battles. This incident quickly became the front page headline of many media, and even Murphy, who is dedicated to script creation, has seen it.
To be precise, it was his lawyer Robert who called him to notify him, and then Murphy focused on the news in this regard.
The reason is very simple. One side of the incident is the Vietnamese whom Ross said crazy about trying to seize the market, and the other side is Ross, the ruler of the underground market in downtown Los Angeles!
After reading the news, Murphy immediately asked Robert to start a relationship to understand the situation, and called Robert Downey Jr., who was filming "Iron Man 2", Robert Downey Jr., who was filming "Iron Man 2", immediately put down his work like Murphy and rushed back to Los Angeles from the location in Las Vegas.
"This shooting in the city has killed six people and injured thirteen people!"
In the reception room of Wave Manor, Robert looked at Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. and quickly said what he knew, "Rose was not injured, but like everyone else, he was arrested by the police at the scene, and the situation was very unfavorable to him."
"Is it possible to be released on bail?" Murphy asked.
Robert shook his head, "No chance of bail! This is the worst shooting in Los Angeles since the North Hollywood robbery, and the media is continuing to pay attention, and Los Angeles police are under tremendous pressure."
Murphy frowned, and Robert Downey Jr. was not much better.
"It's not a case for the Los Angeles police." Robert reminded Murphy, "You have seen the media reports, and the Washington authorities are also paying attention."
He looked at Murphy and reminded, "This is not something you can control, nor is it anyone can cover it up."
The shooting caused such heavy casualties and was stabbed by the media, attracting more media attention and reports. Even the Washington authorities were alarmed. Not to mention Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., even if it was other super rich people, it would not be possible to completely cover up this matter and let Rose easily pick it out.
"Isn't it the Vietnamese who took the first move?" asked Robert Downey Jr.
"It was the Vietnamese who took the initiative, so the police were sweeping their forces in Los Angeles." Robert spread his hands, "but the problem is that your friends are not clean."
According to what he learned, the reason why the Vietnamese took action was purely for revenge, because several of their leaders had disappeared a long time ago and could not find their whereabouts until now.
Murphy stood up and turned around and asked, "Robert, what can we do?"
"You'd better not do anything," Robert warned, "you'd better not get involved in this."
The media outside are opening their eyes wide and watching the follow-up progress of this matter. It is definitely not a wise choice for public figures like Murphy to join in.
"This is impossible." Murphy stood in front of the window and looked into the distance through the window, "I can't do it."
How could he stand by and watch Ross' affairs? And he knew very well that even if Ross did not end up being sentenced to death, he would probably be hundreds of years in prison.
Robert Downey Jr. suddenly said, "I remember Rose had some connection with the police."
"At this time, those relationships will not only fail to help Ross," Robert shook his head, "and may also give Ross a more deadly attack."
Murphy nodded slightly. This world has never been black or black, white or white.
"Find a way," Murphy said to Robert, "It is not a problem to ensure Rose's life is safe."
For him now, the problem that money can solve is not a problem.
Robert nodded, "I know what to do."
Just like the previous investigation gate, the police have never been a monolithic part, and there are disputes where there are people.
"What else can we do?" Robert Downey Jr. asked anxiously.
Whether in prison or in the process of avenging Douglas family, Ross helped him a lot. Perhaps he was an absolute bastard, but he knew the principle that he would repay his grudges and repay his kindness.
Murphy signaled Robert Downey Jr. to stay calm and asked Robert, "How do you think the incident will develop?"
"The judicial process will inevitably go into."
There is no doubt that the incident has reached its current level and it is impossible for him to dissipate silently. Robert is very clear about the speed of information dissemination in this era and the pressure brought by media attention. "And many things Ross has done in the past will be revealed and become his crimes, and he cannot escape judicial sanctions."
In fact, without Robert's words, Murphy could think of these things. Kings of the underground world in downtown Los Angeles like Ross are not worth mentioning in front of powerful state machines. So-called rich people like them are not worth mentioning in front of state machines. If you want to regain Ross freedom, you will not be worthy of robbing the prison...
Prison robbery? Murphy shook his head. This is not a movie. Not to mention whether he and Robert Downey Jr. would be involved. The success rate is minimal, and there is basically no possibility of success.
America does belong to the world of wealth, but if anyone really touches the foundation of the state machine, the consequences will be very, very serious.
Sitting back on the sofa, Murphy thought for a while, and then said to Robert, "You contact Rose's lawyers and organize a luxurious lawyer team."
This is the best way he can think of at present.
"Yeah." Robert said, standing up and said, "I'll do it now."
"There are any new updates," Murphy reminded, "contact me as soon as possible."
Finally, he said, "If possible, let me meet Rose."
"I'll do my best."
Robert can't guarantee this.
Robert left Wave Manor to do what Murphy told me. Robert Downey, who was left in the reception room, frowned. This feeling of not being able to use force was very bad.
Murphy patted his shoulder lightly, "Nothing will happen."
This is just a saying. Both him and Robert Downey Jr. are actually very clear. Even if there is a whole lawyer team serving Ross, the case cannot become a Simpson incident. It is too difficult for Ross to be acquitted. The best way is to reduce his crimes as much as possible and avoid too serious punishments, especially the death penalty.
Although there are twelve states in the United States that completely abolish the death penalty, California is not among the ranks. California not only retains the death penalty, but also the state with the largest number of death sentences in the United States. The state prisons Murphy once stayed at are also the institution with the largest number of death sentences.
What if Ross is sentenced to death?
It’s not that Murphy insists on thinking this way, but that everything should be considered as bad as possible and then work hard on the best.
Thinking of this, Murphy called Robert, who had just left, and received a pretty good reply.
California's death penalty is extremely long, and it is normal to have a lawsuit for several years or even decades, so California is currently the state with the most death penalty in the United States.
The death penalty is undoubtedly the worst result, and there is room for operation. The last thing Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. want to see is the result of the death penalty.
But this has exceeded their control. A person's power often seems extremely small in the face of a huge society.
Of course, in the eyes of more people, no matter how severe the sentence a person like Rose is sentenced to, he deserves it.
Murphy can't care what others think, he only knows what he should do.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such a case was a serious case that alarmed the whole United States. In the following time, almost all the media in the United States were following up. The surging wave of public opinion was enough to drown anyone. Murphy just waited quietly and looked for the best opportunity through various channels.
Faced with the strong pressure of public opinion, the Los Angeles police have also shown super high efficiency. To be honest, if you really want to investigate what Ross did, you will definitely find many clues, not to mention that even the Washington authorities are alarmed now.
It is no exaggeration to say that this conflict between Ross and the Vietnamese has become the largest case in the United States since 2010.
The Los Angeles police cleared the Vietnamese with thunder, and media and public opinion ordered a heinous crime for Ross in advance.
In this case, a huge group of lawyers emerged, one of the largest law firms in the United States, who took over this case and would provide Ross with defense services.
Murphy was always paying attention to the progress of the incident and temporarily interrupted the script writing work in his hands. But to be honest, he could do very little. He could not do much except as convening a huge team of lawyers and secretly allowing people to move around the upper-level relationships to prevent some people with ulterior motives from being unfavorable to Ross.
