Chapter 53 - North America's No. 1 Internet Celebrity Court
Overnight, Huang Yuan became a man of the hour across North America.
Previously, because of Jiali's homework, the number of registered Twitter and Facebook fans increased dramatically.
In less than two hours, Huang Yuan's number of fans exceeded one million, directly surpassing many celebrities.
At the same time, the video of the fight between Huang Yuan and Crowe was also posted online.
That incomparable fighting power immediately gained a large number of adoring fans.
Some messages that were originally sympathetic to or condemning the Philadelphia incident were deleted by them.
Huang Yuan was even dubbed the savior of mankind.
Finally, by morning, Huang Yuan's number of fans had exceeded the seven million mark.
Harvey Dent finished cleaning up early in the morning and when he came to the door of the court, he saw two parties confronting each other.
When he got closer and took a closer look, his originally smiling face turned dark.
He was familiar with the people on one side, the ones who protested Huang Yuan's abuse of force and caused huge damage.
The other person was a fanatical fan of Huang Yuan who suddenly appeared overnight.
The two sides accused and cursed each other across the guardrail at the entrance of the court, and their saliva drenched the bailiffs in the middle.
Harvey Dent knew he couldn't reason with these people.
So he quickly walked past these people, trying to quickly enter the court.
"Look, that person is Harvey Dent, the one who wants to persecute Huang Yuan!"
Suddenly, a loud shout made both parties stop arguing.
Harvey Dent was stunned for a moment, and then he ran towards the door of the court without hesitation.
The next second, various objects were thrown towards his location. If Harvey had run slower, he would have been knocked unconscious by now.
After running into the court, Harvey Dent began to tidy up his appearance.
"How come he has supporters overnight?"
Harvey Dent, who had put on his suit again, was speechless. He really couldn't understand how that guy had so many fans in one night.
Today, the Philadelphia court canceled the vacation of all bailiffs in order to hear this case.
At the same time, the Philadelphia Police Department also seconded hundreds of patrol officers to maintain order and prevent people from suddenly forcing their way into the court.
The public trial was held in a large courtroom that was temporarily prepared by the court and was renovated after the two courts were directly connected.
The size of the jury alone has been increased from 23 to 50 people.
The judge was parachuted directly from the Federal Supreme Court. He has a career as a judge for thirty-seven years and is the most famous justice in the North American judicial system - Odell Kral Homest.
At the same time, two state court justices accompanied the trial as judicial assistants.
The auditorium has seats for up to 300 people. At this time, there is less than ten minutes left before the court starts, but it is already full of people.
On one side is the Z community, led by President Ellis, the Vice President (President of the Senate), Speaker of the House of Representatives, Minister of Justice, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Finance, Director of FBI, Director of CIA, Director of NSA, Director of USSS...
Then on the other side were the heads of major consortiums in North America's business world, including Lex Group, Code Industries, etc. However, this time only Stark Industries' bald Obadiah came to participate.
The first person to come out was prosecutor Harvey Dent, followed by a brown-haired white man. The two went straight to their respective positions.
Then Huang Yuan, accompanied by lawyer Kang Er, walked to the dock and sat down.
When everyone was ready, Justice O'Dell walked out of the room and walked up to his seat under the gaze of everyone.
Based on the identities of most of the people present, Odell skipped the process of standing up and saluting.
"In view of the special nature of today's trial, let's skip some red tape and get straight to the point."
O'Dell coughed twice and said: "First of all, please ask the plaintiff's representative to come forward and state your reasons for the lawsuit and your claims."
The brown-haired middle-aged man immediately walked out of the plaintiff's seat and came to the speaking seat to stand.
"Dear Judge, I would like to sue on behalf of the 12,327 plaintiffs for the illegality of the financial losses and mental trauma caused by this incident in Philadelphia."
.......
"Ultimately, we hope that the defendant will pay a total compensation of 6.252161752.12 US dollars, and also request the judge to sentence him for 56 criminal cases!"
As soon as the agent said this, everyone present took a breath.
Is this because your brain is flooded or something, you actually dare to say that Guan Huangyuan will be sentenced to life imprisonment?
Believe it or not, if you really send people in, your prison will be demolished in the next second!
O'Dell looked at Huang Yuan again and said, "Please ask the defendant or attorney to come forward and respond."
Kanger Belmont stood up and wanted to walk towards the speaker's seat.
However, Huang Yuan directly grabbed him.
"I'll do it myself." Huang Yuan pushed Kang Er back to his seat.
"As you wish, sir."
Kanger had no choice but to shrug and sit back in his seat.
"Hello, your honor." Huang Yuan gave O'Dell a certain amount of respect.
"Hello, Huang Yuan, do you have any objection to the plaintiff's lawsuit?" O'Dell nodded slightly and asked.
"There must be. First of all, the plaintiff's lawsuit is very unreliable."
Huang Yuan spoke eloquently: "First of all, before I fought with the monster, I had already notified and warned the people around me."
"At the same time, I did not enter the battle immediately, but gave them enough time to evacuate."
"This must have been written in the intelligence of many departments, and most of them are in the audience. You can just ask them at will."
"So, does this mean that I didn't take the initiative to kill anyone at all, so the murder charge they charged me with is not valid."
O'Dell nodded after hearing this, then looked at Harvey and asked, "Well, does the plaintiff have any evidence to prove the defendant's motive for the murder?"
Harvey Dent was startled, then quickly stood up and said: "Your Honor, I protest!"
O'Dell looked at him and said directly: "The protest is invalid, Harvey Dent, it's not your turn to speak yet, please sit back."
"Okay, your honor." Harvey Dent had no choice but to sit on the chair.
After all, the status of the justice in the court is the largest, both in name and in reality.
"Huang Yuan, please continue." O'Dell gestured.
Huang Yuan nodded and continued: "Your Excellency, everyone in the courtroom, how urgent the situation was at that time, you will know when you see the video."
"My opponent, that monster, is called Crow."
"The situation at the time was that Crowe could cause damage to more neighborhoods at any time and endanger the lives of countless people."
