Offer to the CEO - 521 Total Mayhem
Tuesday, continued …
Deciding to push the court, Lu Jingho’s lawyer continued. “That is totally inappropriate to demand that Mr Lu be required to make a decision at this time. He needs time to consider the so-called evidence that the police claim supports the charges that have been falsely levied against our client.”
“Requiring the victims to be present in the court precincts at each court listing is not unreasonable. Our client can continually consider the co-called evidence as it comes forward, and by the alleged victims being at court each time they can demonstrate to the court that the intend to continue to make the false allegations against our client but there is the ongoing opportunity that matters can reach a negotiated resolution.”
The National Prosecutor’s representative was ready to speak, and Anna even from behind could determine how angry he was about Lu Jingho’s lawyers’ position. To Anna the body language as she could read it was clearly saying these people as so full of lies, the evidence is rock solid including video footage of his actions. He nodded at Alister Nang to continue.
“Sir, waiting to Friday week, and excusing Madam Jones from being present …”
“Madam Jones?”
“Sir, Madam Jones if the minor victim I represent Alecia Yao. With CEO Yao’s consent she married a couple of months ago and is presently completing her High School education in Australia while her husband completes his studies. While Mr Lu is not indicating any intention to plead guilty forcing her back, disrupting not only her education but that of her husband simply to satisfy Mr Lu’s vanity is inappropriate.”
“Additionally, for the victims I represent, a listing on Friday is, and the National Prosecutors agree with this, is totally inappropriate. The police need additional time to review information that is continuing to come forward. Even a delay in one week will allow them to review more complaints and determine additional matters that Mr Lu should be charged with.”
“Further, CEO and Madam Hou have for three months been working towards their formal wedding ceremony in Madam Hou’s hometown in Australia. That is this coming Saturday. CEO and Madam Yao are members of the wedding ceremony. Exceeding to the demand to satisfy Mr Lu for force the cancellation of a long-anticipated event but has the added complication that it will add to the stress Madam Hou is facing causing her to collapse again and requiring a further hospital admission…”
“Who cares about them. I am entitled to having this matter dealt with and facing those making false allegations against me,” yelled out Lu Jingho.
The national prosecutor stood up “Sir I concur. A one-week delay from the sort court date, with Mr Lu being out with conditions about protecting victims, not only will allow us to determine how to separate each of the charges but will provide Mr Lu with adequate time to consult his lawyers. We have already suggested the proposed conditions that we think is reasonable.”
Another lawyer for Lu Jingho stood up “That is totally inappropriate, Friday this week is when it should be. As we said our client is entitled to prompt legal process, and a week’s delay will impact that. As my client has always maintained, CEO Hou is not married to Miss Jones, and this so-called wedding is just another part of a lie they are perpetrating on everyone.”
“Sir, that was resolved in the proceedings involving Mr Lu’s son and daughter-in-law. This court as well as courts in Australia have accepted that CEO and Madam Hou are legally married. Mr Lu is attempting to distract from the truth of the charges he is facing…”
“Ladies and Gentlemen,” came the loud voice of the judge. “I have heard what everyone has to say again and again. Mr Lu, a one-week delay will not impact you having your matter dealt with promptly, particularly as more alleged victims are coming forward. Their claims need to be investigated by the police to allow the additional charges that may be forthcoming to be laid, and for the National Prosecutors to determine how to split the charges into manageable batches to proceed before the court.”
“Mr Lu, I propose that you will be released pending the next court date on strict conditions. In addition to the conditions proposed by the National Prosecutors including the orders of protection for each and every victim, you are required to surrender your passport, required to be at your residence between 7pm and 7am and show yourself to the police in that time if they attend your residence.”
Lu Jingho could be heard to say to his lawyers “You need to stop this, that is not fair, why should I, the innocent person here be restricted in any way.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
